Benjamin Lee Artisan Bakery — Restaurant in Wales

The food and the cakes are amazing, would easily be 5 star if I was rating that alone!

But please Benjamin Lee, invest in some new, decent and sturdy tables and chairs. Please :-)

I've had too many bad experiences now that I can't really justify paying a premium to sit in at such poor quality tables again. It's bringing it down, which is such a shame for the incredibly good food.

Almost every time I go, either the seat is dodgy or the table is rocking and broken. Todays table (didn't have a number but I think it's 7), the entire table top has come loose and is rocking/tipping back and forth. Hard to enjoy a coffee when it's close to being spilled when you lean on the table, or press down with your knife and fork to try and eat. Just a bad overall eating experience. I genuinely want to savour the hearty food but the tables are just so irritating.

Also, the dessert fork I was given today was so flimsy it bent completely out of shape while I was using it to try and eat a strawberry tart.

(I'm 5ft 3in and weigh 59kg so I'm not exactly massive like!)

So, please invest in some new and improved tables and I'll be back spending money in no time! (And I'll happily update my review to the 5 stars you deserve) If you didn't know about how dodgy some of the tables are, please go and sit on them and try and eat and drink and you'll see for...

Found this hidden gem today in Llandudno by chance, I know it is only there 2nd day of opening ( staff told me ) but a little disappointed if I'm honest. One staff member told me to order at the counter then another said table service so sat down to order, once ordered got told to go back to the counter to pay before I'd got my order, so confused especially as another full table got full table service, got there order and then paid after they got there food,,, now I know I was a table for one but surely they didn't think I looked like a runner, ( who knows 😀 ) ,, Got my food but had to wait ages for my coffee , to be fair the pastry and coffee where lovely and I'm hoping that as it was only there 2nd day of opening , it was just teething problem's. I will go and try the place again in a couple of months and hopefully they will have settled the teething problem's, if I get a different experience I'll update my review but if not then I shall give this...

Visited the bakery today 1st. SEPTEMBER 2022 was greeted by a very pleasant and friendly lady who took my order for a coffee and a bacon roll , I sat inside at a table which was beautifully clean , my bacon roll was delivered quickly , very nice bacon (for my taste the bacon could have been hotter) unfortunately my coffee did not arrive so had to ask the owner who promptly delivered it to me ( just a slight hiccup ) On leaving I purchased two small plain loaves which I tried later in the day with some cheese, the bread was difficult to slice but well worth the effort it was delicious , I don’t know if the shop has a slicer for the bread but if they don’t one would be I’m sure much appreciated by some customers Dog lovers can sit outside and have drinks and food with there pets. A very good experience and I will be returning. I hope the owners take my review not as criticism but as helpful feedback. A...
