2 The Square — Restaurant in Conwy

During our recent visit to "2 The Square" in Conwy, we decided to try their breakfast, enticed by the £10 price tag (excluding drinks). With high expectations for a quality Welsh breakfast, we were ultimately disappointed by the average experience we encountered.

The breakfast itself fell short of our hopes. The bacon served was disappointingly thin, lacking the substantial texture and flavor we were craving. The sausages, unfortunately, were overcooked and had a filling reminiscent of hotdogs, which was far from satisfying. Additionally, the black pudding was sliced wafer-thin, leaving us wanting for a more robust and flavorful portion. Overall, the culinary offerings did not meet the standard we had hoped for.

Furthermore, the staff seemed disinterested, which did not enhance our dining experience. Attentive and friendly service can go a long way in making customers feel welcomed and valued, but this was lacking during our visit to "2 The Square."

On a positive note, the cafe boasts great decor, creating an inviting and pleasant ambiance. It is clear that effort has been put into creating an appealing atmosphere for patrons. The cafe itself is a nice space to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee.

However, despite the pleasant decor, we couldn't help but question the establishment's high ranking on TripAdvisor. Our underwhelming breakfast experience, coupled with the indifferent service, left us unconvinced that it deserved the acclaim it had received. As a result, we do not anticipate returning to "2 The Square" in the near future.

In conclusion, while "2 The Square" in Conwy presents an attractive cafe with appealing decor, the quality of the breakfast fell short of our expectations. Thin bacon, burnt sausages with a hotdog-like filling, and meager portions of black pudding left us underwhelmed. The disinterested staff further detracted from the overall experience. While the cafe has its merits, it does not warrant its high ranking on TripAdvisor, and we do not plan on rushing back...

Only allows dogs in the 2 window seats, so a number of people were turned away while we were sat down. Breakfast and lunch were next to eachother on the menu, and we were told both were being served. However, when one of our party tried to order a sandwich, and the other ordered toast, we were told we had to choose between the breakfast or lunch menu for the entire party and couldn't choose from both, despite the fact that the kitchen was serving both... Our food came and looked bare on the plate, a lonely sandwich and not a crumb more, no salad or crisps or any kind of accompaniment. Our drinks were fine, but came without spoons which we had to get up and ask for. We also had to go up again to ask for condiments as bacon sandwiches and the like came bare, and we were given 2 or 3 little sachets between 3 of us. Granted we were given a few dog treats and our waitress was nice, but the person who seemed to own the place only appeared occasionally to enforce some kind of arbitrary and bothersome rule and wouldn't crack the slightest smile. We could hear shouting from the kitchen, which also sounded like an unpleasant environment.

Lots of options nearby, I would suggest...

A modern and clean look design in the cafe which is still welcoming. The cafe is situated in the main square of Conwy so located well and easy to find. The staff are friendly and helpful. The cafe caters for wheat intolerance with their menu's. We ordered the millionaire's shortbread and a cream and sponge which was light and tasty. The shortbread was just as tasty. As a black coffee drinker I also found the Americano to be if a good quality. The extra touch was our cakes being presented on slates instead of just on a plate. Such an excellent service. Worth a visit

Visited again Jan 2023 and what a disappointment. We ordered toast and when it came it was white still. We asked for browner toast and it was heated further which made it like cardboard. The bread was also thin and cheap but cost us enough. The waitress was pleasant but seemed disinterested. The cafe itself still had a good atmosphere though. After this time I will not be...
