The ‘unassuming little gem’ of a cafe in popular seaside Welsh village

The quaint and charming Butterflys Tea Rooms in Towyn, Conwy, has been hailed as an ‘unassuming little gem’ by visitors passing through the popular seaside village. Situated on Towyn Road at the heart of Towyn, this delightful cafe is a perfect stop for a light lunch or a coffee break. Positioned directly across from Ty Mawr holiday park, the cafe may appear as a converted house at first glance, but its vibrant parasols hint at the chic cafe within.

North Wales Live reporter David Powell recently stopped by Butterflys Tea Rooms during his travels to Towyn. After parking across the road due to the small car park being full, Powell indulged in a lunch at the tea room and shared his experience. He described the cafe as a hidden gem offering a pleasant dining experience.

For lunch, Powell opted for the traditional ham, egg, and chips, which he found to be delicious. The generous portion of ham, paired with perfectly fried eggs and hot, fluffy chips, impressed him. Powell also treated himself to a slice of Victoria sponge for dessert, complemented with cream and strawberries. The light and sweet dessert suited the late summer day’s vibe perfectly.

The charming decor of Butterflys Tea Rooms added to Powell’s dining experience. With wooden tables adorned with lavender motif tablecloths, bunting for a pop of colour, and a serene ambiance, the cafe provided a relaxing setting for a meal. The attention to detail, such as serving tea in exquisite porcelain cups and saucers, enhanced the overall atmosphere.

The visit was complete with a soundtrack of Norah Jones’ music playing softly in the background, adding to the laid-back summer atmosphere. Powell overheard fellow diners expressing their fondness for the cafe, with one stating it was a favourite holiday spot. Powell concluded his review by recommending Butterflys Tea Rooms to others passing through Conwy county, praising its value and inviting ambiance.
