Galeri Café Bar

You're walking along Victoria Dock and the waterfront's doing its thing—boats, water, that particular light you only get in Caernarfon. Then you spot Galeri Café Bar, and it's immediately clear this isn't just somewhere to grab a coffee between errands. It's genuinely tied to the arts scene here; the space doubles as a gallery, so there's usually something interesting on the walls that makes you linger longer than planned. The crowd's mixed—locals catching up, visitors who've wandered over from the castle, people who've actually come specifically to sit here.
