Bay View Centre Coffee Shop

this is a weird one. you cant really call it a coffee shop. they rarely call places coffee shops, they normally go with cafe, but this one is not a shop yet they call it a shop. you see, shops have walls, whereas this one just has barrier type things to make a seating area. the cafe has come a long way from its first inception many years ago, they revamped the whole food preparation area, and now it looks much trendier. they do nice milkshakes here, thats what I always used to get. there are some frequent characters here, so its a good place to go if you are into people watching, or if you want to chat to strangers. you can also watch the shoppers go by. i have not bought food there for a while, but looking through the counter, it looks pretty bog standard yet acceptably good stuff.

The coffee shop in the Bayview Centre in Colwyn Bay is sort of an open air, indoor cafe if that makes sense (if it doesn’t go and have a look and you’ll see what I mean). It sits in an open space close the town side entrance to the precinct.

It’s not a place for fine dining but it is a decent enough, and certainly convenient place, for a cuppa or a piece of toast. The prices are reasonable and you can sit and watch everyone else go about their business. It always seems to be busy which is always a good sign.

Personally I think this place really benefitted from the ban on smoking indoors and is now far more pleasant and enjoyable than it used to be.
