Popty r Dref Deli
A fantastic deli for take-away sandwiches and one of the few left with the original bakery out the back. Support it to keep a rare example of local industry alive. The house speciality is the honey bun - be quick, they're usually sold out by 11:00.

Café Macsen
A simple but airy café with marble tables, it offers the stock-in-trade all-day breakfasts and sandwiches, as well as some reliable mains. While the food may be simple, the place is cleaner and friendlier than other cafés in the block.

Bistro Betws-y-Coed
This cottage-style eatery's statement of intent is 'modern and traditional Welsh'. Expect the likes of locally made sausages, rarebit and haddock-and-chips – battered with Llandudno Orme real ale, naturally.

Y Sospan
In a book-lined and woody 1606 building that once served as a prison, this relaxed eatery serves fry-up breakfasts, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and light cooked meals during the day. At night, it switches to a heavier bistro menu, where lamb plays a starring role and most of the desserts have been on the booze, including an excellent bread-and-butter pudding.

Tower Coffee House
An airy café with great views across the estuary to Deganwy. Downstairs there's a rather incongruous dungeon-style area - watch out for the shrunken head.
