Jacob's Ladder in Denbighshire

Very friendly and a great atmosphere 👌

Went in for a coffee and stayed for lunch. Great coffee / delicious home made food and snacks. The lady running it was so welcoming to our family and children. We loved it!

We have been meaning to come here for years so came one grey June day. We asked for a menu and were told it was a verbal menu, never come across this and I didn`t really like it as you don`t see the range of food and prices. Never the less, the lady was really nice. I explained that I was lactose intolerant and she gave us a few options, pepper and tomato soup ( too often people put cream in soup ) or a pork and cider casserole with their homemade bread. We chose the casserole, which was tasty. We then went to look at the cathedral, and I realised that there must have been some butter or cream in the casserole as I needed a loo urgently. Thankfully I found one in time. I only need a smidgen of dairy to get a reaction and it happens within fifteen minutes of ingesting it. So lovely place, tasty food but beware if you have any food intolerances

Absolute little gem of a place ,home made food absolutely scrumptious.

This place is owned by a slightly odd hippyish lady who was very friendly and pleasant and seemed to genuinely like our kids. They don't have a menu as such and she just makes it up. I suspect they'd be welcoming to out fat black labrador, but unfortunately for him, we left him in the car.

Bit of a wait but worth waiting for

Local café for local people. No menu.

Only had tea there but a lovely atmosphere and staff.

Nice enough place, nice decor but water used for hot drinks was like lava! Way too hot. Husband burnt his lip and I burnt my hand. There's also no menu...its a verbal menu as they called it. This does not work for people who are on the spectrum and need information written down. In fact it's quite stressful.

Very warm and friendly and the food is delicious

Just stopped in for a coffee and a warm and really glad I did. Nice welcome on a cold morning. The Coffee was hot and a lovely t-cake was very tasty too. I would highly recommend a visit.

Had tea coffee and cake, all nice, slow service, small place, no room so we sat outside by the noisy road ,Friendly but odd server. seemed to only say what she had to.

Just passing by, looking for a coffee and a bite to eat and we were lucky enough to come across this lovely little cafe. We were welcomed in by a lovely, genuinely warm lady who clearly loves what she does. We chose the homemade caramel shortcake and home made vegetable soup. Both were delicious. I would recommend.

Just called in here on the off chance as we where in the area. What a lovely little cafe. On the corner in the centre. Lovely welcoming staff, freshly made sandwiches with proper ham. Just lovely.

Paned a sgon/bara brith ardderchog. Lle cysurus. Yn fendithiol gweld Beibl yno, ac enw’r caffi yn dwyn i gof fendith Jacob ym Methel. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

Called at Jacobs cafe had 2 coffees and 2 slices of the best carrot cake I've ever tasted it hab walnuts in it and raison lovely cream

Caramel Iced Latte's are to die for!! Better than your standard Costa or Starbucks ✨️

Lovely hot latte in the morning sunshine. Stopped to break our journey on the way home to Yorkshire. Lots of street parking close to coffee shop which is an ideal stop off and less than 5 minutes off the N. Wales Expressway.

This cafe has lovely food and a great atmosphere. The girls are so friendly. In fact all the patrons were too! Gf food was a bonus.

Nice little cafe in St Asaph. Called in for brunch whilst passing through and had a couple of poached eggs with bacon on toast. Came quickly, was reasonably priced and tasted great. The staff were nice and chatty and accommodated us well. Seemed like a number of locals favour the cafe - a good few people dropped in whilst we were there to have a drink, a cake or something to eat and everybody was on first name basis and seemed really friendly. We didn't feel out of place there as non locals though - we were made to feel welcome. They had soy milk there as an alternative to dairy and could make the food to suit preferences without any bother. Plenty of options with the drinks and they were well made. Pleasant place to stop that we will definitely pop in again.

Was really looking forward to visiting here for a lunch stop on our way to Llandudno, however it wasn't meant to be. Upon entering at 12.30pm we were informed by the lady that she was closing at 1pm and therefore could only offer a limited choice of bacon sandwiches or porridge! Feeling a bit disappointed we then found the Flowerpot Cafe a little further down the road that turned out to be excellent.

Fantastic place, very friendly and polite staff. I was there first time and I feel really good. Highly recommended. Unfortunately I live to far, but definitely if I will back to trip to Snowdonia, I will back there again. I love decoration inside. Panini with ham and cheese and salad was really good.

Lovely breakfast stop…great coffee , homemade bread and good service .worth a diversion off the main road

Cracking bacon sandwich and proper tasting coffee Lovely breakfast . Loved it and will go again Thank you

Always good fresh tasty meals friendly service, relaxed atmosphere.great coffee. Will be calling back.

Lovely little cafe, great staff and lovely food. Could do with written menus with the prices on.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food and a very warm welcome. Thank you

Only had a coffee but nice drink, lovely atmosphere

Great take away coffee, far better than Costa!

I just love the fact that the shop is called Jacob's Ladder. It has a beautiful ring to it. Came here a few weeks back to have some soup with a couple of pals and it was really nice. The service and atmosphere of the shop was so calming and smooth definitely come down here if you want some down time. The lady at the till was very kind to us and made sure we were well looked after.

What a lovely find. Lovely atmosphere and food was stunning 😍

Great cafe with a lovely view down into St Asaph and over to the hills. Friendly staff.

Hi. Called for a coffee. Friendly service. And lovely relaxing music..😁

Lovely coffee shop.... amazing bread and delicious coffee! Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Amazing food and coffee and staff really friendly.

Found this little cafe unexpedically so glad we called here ..the food was delious we had hot drinks cake and ham sandwiches and pannies the staff members were very friendly ..well recommend to anyone staying local or passing through

Very nice Welsh rarebit and a lovely coffee ☕ Served by a very nice lady 😊

Cups of coffee. Not crowded. Plenty of room. Polite staff.

Lovely friendly cafe good food and coffee

Paninis were pleasant. Verbal menu a bit tricky with kids, but overall OK.

My wife and I called in to St Asaph to see the cathedral. I had seen some reviews for Jacob's Ladder' and found it quite by accident. We both enjoyed Welsh rarebit with ham, salad and home made pickle. A really good and substantial meal. It is one of the most friendly and welcoming eateries I have been in for a long time. The relaxed and caring atmosphere make it a place well worth recommending to others, and, more especially, a place to re-visit. A real gem. Many thanks.

My daughter and I both had ham and cheese panini with homemade chutney. Came with a side salad and nachos. Absolutely delicious. The lady owner was very warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble . Will definitely be returning.

fantastic to be back after almost 2 years

Perfect coffee and service, very friendly.

We nipped by a couple of Fridays ago, lovely mocha and bara brith before work and the lady who served us was very friendly. Will be back again soon 👌🙏🏻

Welcoming and delicious coffee . Homemade cakes .

Good choice of take outs. Clean and Covid safe. Chatty staff who made me feel welcome even though I only bought snacks. Some inside tables were occupied. The hot chocolate was lovely as were the brownie cake and carrot cake!!!!!!

We came off the A55 looking for a cafe for lunch, and we found a really nice place. We had a friendly greeting from the staff & chose panini’s from the menu. Both meals were tasty & arrived freshly made & hot. We will definitely return

Lovely cafe, great service, good food. We will definitely be back!

This was my first visit to Jacob's ladder. The decor and atmosphere was good and I enjoyed a very tasty cheese toasty with salad and a flat white for lunch. The lady owner was very friendly and professional. I recommend visiting.

A lovely cafe. Very good service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the cakes !

Relaxing little cafe with friendly staff. Tasty homemade food and delicious cakes. A great stopping off place on way to North Wales

Excellent service Quality food Lovely people

This was a lovely little coffee shop on a corner of the village. Top it all I had tea ha ha. My husband had a latte and tea cake daughter had a hot chocolate with all the trimmings. We sat outside because we had the dog with us. It was lovely and the young lad who served us did a good job and was very polite,

Nice cafe ambiance. Reasonable cake selection on display, but went for breakfast. Extremely limited menu, which was conveyed verbally as no menu was apparently on display. We were served with a micro breakfast ( one slice of bread, 2 eggs), which was buttered so sparingly, the bread was dry. Luckily the eggs were perfect ,which just about compensated. Drinks were nice and hot. Service a little Kurt but reasonably speedy. Quite a pricey visit.

Wonderful place. Really friendly and good food

Fantastic, lovely fresh home made food, excellent service, Great chatting with you, hopefully you make it up to the North east at some point

1st time visiting and well worth the trip friendly staff great service and food was excellent.

We stopped for breakfast and were met with great service and delicious food. Thumbs up!

I dropped in to fill my travel mug. Staff were very helpful. Thank you

Lovely friendly place will come again.

Very friendly. Good stop for a refresh.

We stopped by as a family of four adults and two children. The coffee shop is beautifully decorated with plenty of space between tables. We were seated in a separate room by a lovely friendly staff member who took our details. When she came to take our order she offered a mini hot chocolate for my son and also explained that he didn't have to have salad with his panini (he's nine and not a fan of green food) and they give a discount if you don't want salad. Food and drinks arrived promptly and freshly made. Wonderful friendly service, good light snack style food, beautiful surroundings and covid19 safe. Made my tweenager daughter happy because she was treated like a young lady.

Lovely coffee and the staff speak Welsh 😊

Excellent 😊 in every respect.. Clean, totally Covid aware plenty of space. I on stopped briefly for a cup of coffee but was made to feel like an old friend.. Excuse spelling but Lowri (?) is running a truly fine business and I can only wish all the best X🐼

Called in earlier on our cycle ride from Rhyl. Most enjoyable, with excellent scones. Will definitely call again. Thank you.

Very nice place, was able to sit out front and enjoy our lattes with the dog before a walk along the st Asaph river, would recommend 😊

Lovely little cafe and staff are really great, had toast and honey and its was amazing !

Our wonderful local cafe. Great service Lowri!

Nice local cafe. Excellent cakes. Limited seating with windows.

In a small but pretty town. Great service and lovely surroundings. Tastefully decorated. Definitely go again 👍

Myself and other half had been visiting my friends home in Bangor for a few days and on way home we wanted to find somewhere for breakfast/ brunch in a small place . We turned off and came to this village and found this cafe . All covid precautions are taken apart from they didn’t wipe ketchup / brown sauce bottles when taking from one table to another . We wanted a full English breakfast but they had run out of sausage so my partner had a bacon and egg sandwich and I had bacon beans tomato and toast . The sandwich was made from what looked like home made bread so was rather messy to eat . Food was good however and the cappuccinos were good . Friendly owner and seemed to have a few regulars come in . We will definitely visit again on way home from my friends or sister next time we go .

Lovely coffee shop with the best ever hot chocolate..

Lovely little cafe. Had a good lunch which included an excellent soup.

Service is great very friendly food is freshly made delicious cakes and coffee great snack come here for lunch

Lovely cafe - poped in for tea and cake, the cake was delicious- home made. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Our fave little spot to top off whenever we visit north wales. Why? Well let me tell you - the friendly staff, the wonderful food, the great location, the nice locals - it's got it all. We love this location because they always deliver and never disappoint. Had a great coffee, I could drink buckets of the stuff, and a panini and my wife had a hot chocolate and panini, and they were both delish and home made. I had the New Mexican chilli panini and it was amazing - happily go back and have it again. Highly recommend this little gem.Incidentally, bought a coffee for the lovely old lady outside who took the time to say hello and let us know a bit about her family and the local area. She was there the last time we visited and always makes a fuss of our son

Greeted like an old friend, after the lockdown! Excellent service, as it always was, and one of the best bacon butty’s I have ever had x

Just called in with my Dad and Sue whilst waiting to go for an appointment at Glan Clwyd. What a lovely find. The staff were very welcoming and the food was delicious. Especially the quiche, fresh out of the oven. Would definitely call in again.

Lovely staff, freshly prepared food, good coffee and pleasant surroundings,

Very warm and welcoming place. Nice coffee and can recommend the exceptional Raspberry and apple frangipane tart.

Such a wonderful place to be. You are not just a customer, you are made to feel more important than that. Wonderful coffee and food too!

Friendly helpful staff. Excellent food. What's not to like!!

Had a meeting here. Lovely coffee, professional and friendly staff and a warm cosy atmosphere.

Excellent cafe. Staff were very friendly. Very tasty Welsh rarebit.

Best breakfast as I got whiles..great cafe, deffo back there again if I in this local again

This is a lovely cafe opposite the cathedral. The place is spotless and friendly and while the menu is somewhat limited the food is excellent. I had poached eggs on toast which was top drawer. The prices are reasonable, I don't think they particularly cater for allergies though, otherwise recommended

Excellent food reasonably priced

First class welcome, surroundings, food & drink as usual!

Lovely staff great Caffe and the cakes are amazing

Our group of 12 turned up with no warning on a Friday morning and the staff were fantastic. They let us take over a back room, food and drinks all arrived quickly and were delicious. The staff were all polite and friendly and I hope someday we're back in this area so we can return.

Fantastic coffee! The best for miles around!! Great homemade bread, cakes and savouries. Lovely atmosphere, if you find yourselves in this neck of the woods, do try it, rest assured you will not be disappointed !!

Enjoyed the ambiance here... Good coffee and food too... Recommend without hesitation... Looking forward to returning...

Food drink and service were excellent. However on or visit we found it cold inside and the four of us all put our jackets back on and we ended up not staying too long.

Delicious homemade soup every visit.

Outstanding customer service and outstanding freshest ingredients and amazing value for money.i can't wait to go there again with my family and friends.

Lovely lovely walk, surrounding were exquisite

5/5 cafe review for an oh so nice and relaxing catch up. We love little cafes like this. Refurbished to a high standard. Very nice decor and very clean and tidy. Light lunch menu and take away . Sweet potato soup was yummy. Recommend the Bara Brith and the naughty chocolate cake . Lots of happy, laughing customers chatting with the uniformed (we like that) staff. Thank you we will be back
