- Bring cash as a backup; while card payments are usually accepted, smaller independent shops like this can occasionally have technical issues with card machines.
- Ask staff about the origins of fair-trade items – many pieces have interesting stories about the artisans and communities behind them.
- Combine your visit with a walk along the High Street and a stop at nearby Siop Fawr Portmeirion for a broader taste of Porthmadog’s independent shopping scene.
