About us

Afonwen Craft & Antique Centre has reopened with slightly reduced opening times (9:30am to 5:00pm). Our visiting artists are back demonstrating and showing off their work. You’re also able to browse our gift shop and extensive antique collection.

Outside and indoor dining is also now available at Edenshine Restaurant. Booking is recommended (especially between 11:45am and 3:00pm). Please call us on 01352 720797, send us an email, or message us on Facebook to reserve a table (maximum 2 hours). All outside tables will have a roof or large umbrella, but we might not be able to transfer your table inside if the heavens open up.

What Visitors Have to Say

 5/5

...this building has lots of different things inside. There are many antiques that you can browse and also purchase. Lots of unusual items, too. There is a gift shop, which really does have something for everyone. Gifts for birthdays and holiday souvenirs too. The cafe was very bust during the day, but I can see why! The food was delicious and the homemade cakes were lovely…

"an interesting place to visit"

I visited the craft centre with my husband and two children. Having looked around the antiques we stayed for lunch and had a lovely meal. They catered for my vegan requirements to the best of their ability and all of the food was fresh and homemade. They provided me with so many dishes that I couldn’t manage a desert! The manager made a huge effort to check that I was satisfied with what was provided and said that they will be offering more vegan options in the near future. We will definitely be going back here again.

"Very Vegan Friendly"

I often visit the restaurant with friends for lunch. The menu has plenty of choice, including snacks and meals, together with lovely cakes and sweets. Staff are efficient and helpful. It has become very popular so it can be busy and if you don't want to wait around for a table to become available it is best to book. I would highly recommend a visit, even if you only want a coffee and a lovely cake, yum!

"Good honest food and friendly staff"

Arranged as usual to stop for a break before landing in Llandudno. We always find this centre interesting, sometimes buying a nice little present for ourselves. Restaurant serving excellent food. We visited with friends so pre booked table. This restaurant gets very busy with 'silver surfers' and we can't blame them, it's excellent...

"Spot a collectable and have a good meal"

Had lunch at the craft centre. Sandwiches with side salad and coleslaw lovely. Followed by carrot cake which was delicious. Good menu choice for mains and sweets and lots of lovely homemade cakes, hot puds too. Lovely little cafe with little tea lights lit on the tables and flowers in the vases very quaint. Staff were really pleasant had a lovely afternoon.

"Delightful!!!"

The place was spotless. They were polite and helpful and obviously knew their job inside out. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was to die for, seriously. Nothing out of a packet here, all homemade and totally yummy. Definitely a place we will go to again...and soon.

"Delicious Food"
