Feedback
I was extremely disappointed with the two pancakes I ordered at this restaurant. The whipped cream that came with them was just canned aerosol spray cream that quickly melted into a milky mess. It was a cheap alternative to using fresh, high-quality cream. I also paid £23.80 for the pancakes and a pot of tea, which I found to be very overpriced considering the lack of quality and taste. I was hoping for a delicious pancake with a generous amount of fresh fillings, but unfortunately, that was not the case. It was a shame to have such a disappointing dining experience.
We wanted to mix things up from our usual breakfast routine, so we decided to give this restaurant a try. We chose to sit in the back of the cafe, which had a charming little garden. My sons ordered a Nutella pancake and a Biscoff chocolate pancake, both of which they really enjoyed. I opted for a savory pancake with cheese, ham, and onion, and found it to be delicious and freshly made. The only downside was that it was a bit pricey, so visiting here would be more of a special treat. The staff were friendly and attentive as well.
Today, I visited a restaurant in Caernarfon on a hot day. It wasn't too busy, but there were a few people ahead of us in line, including a pair of French men who didn't speak English well. One of them asked for mint ice cream, but the young lady behind the counter rudely informed him that it was "dog ice cream." The poor guy was left confused and embarrassed. While the place may have delicious ice cream, kindness is much more important. The young lady wasn't very friendly when I placed my order either, seeming offended by our presence.
We stopped by for some ice cream, and they were very accommodating regarding allergies, offering an “allergy scoop” from a still-unopened tub of ice cream. While some items were labeled as “contains gluten,” there was at least one flavor I was cautious about, even though it didn't have the label—mainly due to the candies mixed in. The menu also featured Dutch pancakes, available in both sweet and savory varieties, including gluten-free options. Although we didn’t have a chance to try those during this visit, they certainly sounded delicious.
