Jacob's Ladder in Denbighshire

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 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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 😊

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 .

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

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.

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

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 !!

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.

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

We were delighted to find a perfect small lunch in this tiny city. Clean, friendly with excellent food and good service.

Popped in on a recent visit to the town and the staff were so friendly happy and welcoming. The coffee was the best i had had in a long time and there is an outdoor area to sit which looks onto the cathedral.Will be back if in the area.Thank you

We visited for the first time after reading the good reviews and I have driven past many times.We had a very warm welcome.I had the soup and sandwich and my mum had a toasted sandwich. We both really enjoyed our lunch.I over heard the gentleman sat next to us enjoying the home made cakes and the waitress referred to him as honest John.I decided to order the ginger cake and it was one of the nicest I’ve ever had.

Great Cappuccino and bacon butties. Well worth the visit. Staff very helpful and willing. Used by lots of regulars which is obviously an excellent recommendation.

Stopped for some marvelous bacon butties. Coffee and service also impeccable. What more can you ask for?

what a little gem. We called in after visiting the cathedral, but the kitchen was closed. However the owner rustled up four bowls of delicious leek and potato soup, plus plenty of bread.

This is a place I often visit - mainly when dropping off or picking up my ironing from a nearby business - but at other times too. Lowri and her staff are wonderful and friendly providing efficient service and great food. They really take an interest in their customers and you feel included in their plans such as the recent internal renovations. Well worth a visit - time and time again.

Muy interesante lugar que encontramos al salir de la Catedral, en este pueblito no hay mucho para elegir, este lugar nos sorprendio, si bien nadie hablaba español, nos entendimos perfectamente, el servicio fue fenomenal, el ambiente rustico y acogedor, el te y el cafe muy buenos, acompañados por unos bollos rellenos riquisimos, la pasamos genial

Friendly staff and very pleasant quaint surroundings make Jacobs Ladder a must for anyone wanting a quick bite to eat whilst passing through or visiting St Asaph. The food is good quality and my only criticism is that the menu is a bit limited. If they offered a range of salads and perhaps widened the choice of sandwiches and maybe included a special then it would be perfect!

This is a super place with lots of room to sit, browse your paper or book, to meet friends or even sit outside. My favourite are the best bacon butties! The coffee is good, nay excellent! No need to ask for an extra shot in your cappuccino - they do it anyway! Friendly staff from entry to exit. Well done!

Yo vivo a unos 10 km de distancia y había sido significado para llamar aquí por un largo tiempo. El edificio es muy bonito y me fue atraída por sus credenciales de Fairtrade. El personal era muy alegre. Por desgracia fue sólo ligeramente. . . . Decepcionante.

Llamamos aquí para el almuerzo en nuestro camino hacia el castillo, es un lugar encantador y amable. La comida es casera y siempre sabroso - prensa diaria, regados por un buen café. Desde nuestra observación de la gente de este lugar, el dueño sabía que el diners, pero siguen siendo amable con nosotros que eran desconocidos. Hay asientos en el interior y el exterior, es difícil aparcar justo fuera, sin embargo, hay un aparcamiento cerca de la catedral, que es una de pagar

Service was good, nice friendly staff. Coffee was OK, food was good. The whole place was very clean and tidy. Hope it will not be affected by the cafe in the cathedral when this opens

Después de haber estado en la calle de la catedral (las más pequeñas en Asaph Gran Bretaña! Me pasó por aquí) para una bebida antes de llevar en mi viaje, y no me decepcionó. Yo sólo quería un refresco, y a pesar de ser la hora de comer (aunque en un día húmedo de junio) no fue un problema. Sin embargo, habiendo visto la comida de otras personas, pronto cambió mi mente y nos quedamos para comer. En general, tuve 2 tazas de té de menta, además de hojas sueltas (me ofrecieron una taza de agua caliente extra), el queso brie y arándano panini y un pedazo de su torta de chocolate precioso. Como no estaban demasiado ocupadas (húmeda y Junio no mezcla! ) me sentí capaz de hacer algunos trabajos aquí en lugar de en el hotel me dirigía, y acabamos quedándonos durante bastante tiempo. Es un ambiente relajado, con parejas, grupos de amigos y reuniones de negocios sucediendo mientras yo estaba aquí. El menú es limitado, sándwiches y patatas chaqueta, pero era encantadora. Debo volver de esta manera en el futuro, sin duda me llame de nuevo.

Nos hemos parado aquí tres veces en nuestro camino a Llandudno y me encanta este cafe. Deliciosos sándwiches, mi marido dijo que era el mejor sandwich de tocino y queso brie que había probado nunca. El lugar tiene un ambiente agradable y acogedor sin ser demasiado exigente. La única crítica sería que el retrete podría hacer con una limpieza profunda, parecía muy lleno de polvo y suciedad.

Qué tienda/cafetería con personal incluso más agradable! Fuimos a consiga un recuerdo para nuestro viaje de luna de mini. No hay una tienda que vende nada como un imán en cualquier pueblo cerca: (sin embargo, probamos escalera Jacobs y el souvenir que nos dieron era un

Jacobs escalera es una cafetería elegante, frente a la catedral. Es más grande que la primera mirada sugiere con más asientos a la vuelta de la esquina. Tiene un menú sencillo de aperitivos así como bollos, pasteles, etc.

What a delight this place is went on at David's day had 2 coffees and cake wife had coffee and cake came to around £10-£12 great coffee and lovely and friendly i will be a regular to this place from now on highly recommend

Relaxed friendly coffee shop with attentive service.Newspapers available to browse. Lovely homemade style cakes.

Lovely tea shop - we all had very nice food for lunch. Very popular with the locals too, Staff exceptionally friendly

Stopped her today on our travels around wales . Lovely and well worth a stop . Quirky little shop with friendly helpfulStaff . Food was good quality and is freshly prepared . Would recommend a stop if I'm the local area

Visited with friends for both breakfast and lunch whilst walking locally. Friendly staff, good food and nice atmosphere. Don't be put off if the cafe looks full there is a very nice room at the rear, which is not sign posted. The soup at lunch time was excellent and definitely homemade.

Lovely restful cafe. Home made bread and soup. Perfect! Quiche also great. Staff very welcoming. Overlooking the Cathedral so a nice spot at the cross roads

Met some old pals for a girly reunion lunch. Lovely friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Coffee is fab! Homemade bread an unusual and delightful treat - made the bacon and egg sandwich so tasty!! Homemade cakes for dessert. Love this place, will be back very soon!

After visiting the cathedral we called here for a light lunch. The warming leek and spinach soup with homemade bread was a winner. The cafe had a lovely atmosphere about it - popular with both locals and tourists with classical background music playing. I just wish we lived nearer as I'd like to visit here more often.

this place is quite small but excellent food but has a back room for bigger crowds people are nice and local artisan made stuff for sale

Lovely colour scheme for outdoor seating area. No signs re the lovely Lounge area in the back. Menu is good for light lunches with usual prices and homemade cakes (glass domes look better covering all the cakes, just a suggestion) Food was nice and presentation great with friendly service. Main cafe door and the kitchen front cupboards needs a good clean and the toilets a spring clean.

Stayed down the road and visited a couple of times, nice place for a coffee and a bit of breakfast or lunch. Very welcoming, enjoyed sitting outside in the sun!

A warm welcome and hot soup and tasty sandwiches made our lunchtime break a pleasure. Easy to find from the A55 (other roads are available). Worth calling in.

Stopped here for refreshments and must say the latte was really good. Freshly baked carrot cake had a heavy banana 'twist' which was surprising, not bad but not what I would call a true 'carrot' cake. Still not a bad experience and would call again to sample their selection further.

Stopped for lunch in this friendly cafe opposite the cathedral: warm welcome: although the cafe was nearly full (always a good sign!) the welcome was warm and we were found a table quickly. Good variety of Fairtrade tea and coffee, and freshly prepared food (we - a group of 4 - had toasted bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon and jacket potatoes) Service was a bit slow, but that's what you would expect for freshly prepared food at a very busy time. This was a repeat visit - we'd been here last year, and both the food and welcome were just as friendly .

lovely little café, very friendly lovely cakes .what more an I say.really clean and service is at a nice pace, does not rush you.

After having a conversation with two old ladies who said there is nothing here to see I opted for this delightful café. Was welcomed with open arms and even given a cuddle as I was frozen. Had a beautiful cup of coffee and home made flapjack. A real pick me up for such a disappointing city. May they do well they deserve it. Thank you girls for your hospitality and kindness .

Friendly, welcoming café with home cooked delicious food, comfortable seating, relaxed atmosphere and papers to read as you wait

Looking for somewhere for a light lunch en route to North West Wales we diverted off the A55 into St.Asaph and found Jacob's Ladder. Basic furniture, not too large, but a great atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. The soup/sandwich deal we had was excellent both in quality and price. Liked it so much we called in for coffee on our way back from our break. Not disappointed. Coffee excellent too. Good basic, but inventive menu. Will be back!

I regularly take my daughters here for a hot chocolate treat after school and I decided to take my sister who has recently become vegan today. Lowri was extremely helpful and offered to make my sister a hot chocolate using rice milk. My 4 year old daughter enjoyed her hot chocolate topped with cream and marshmallows and my 3 year old enjoyed her small bowl of marshmallows. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend a visit.

Staff so friendly and accommodating, such a relaxing atmosphere too! Breakfasts simple but just what you need, recommend the brown bread as homemade by them. Great choice of cakes and all really tasty. Lovely coffee and good selection of teas. Highly recommend!

Was there earlier this week with my family as we visited from the States. Really nice staff, excellent service and cake that I literally took home with me. Wow. Loved it.

I visited with my Mother today for lunch, the food was delicious, service warm and friendly and the atmosphere so relaxing - diolch - thank you!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent homemade bread served as a ham sandwich with beautiful soup! - and gorgeous Strawberry cake!

Second time I've been with friends, service is brilliant, staff are lovely, toasties are incredible and the lemon drizzle cake is absolutely out of this world!!!Would highly recommend !

'Jacob' is the proprietor's son, and that sets the scene for a very family place, and one frequented by her friends in the village. They wouldn't come here if the grub wasn't good, and it is.We had afternoon tea, with many choices of leaf, and the most gorgeous coffee and walnut cake and chocolate cake. The tea pots were also remarkable. I believe other food is available at other times of the day, but a late afternoon tea was all we wanted.Jacob's mum runs a fine tea shop!

Everything you could ever wish for - great little coffee shop, good range of foods on the menu, gorgeous cakes and nice selection of loose leaf teas, coffees an cold drinks! Excellent place to chill out, chat with friends and pop out for lunch. Be aware the kitchen shuts at 3pm! Must go!!!!

As always, the quality of food and drink was excellent. Service from friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend the ginger cake.

A wonderfully quirky coffee shop offering delicious homemade cakes, great coffee and daily specials.

We went for a walk into St Asaph from where we were staying and decided to call in at Jacobs ladder for coffee.The lady who was I think the owner was charming and extremely friendly.As it was a nice day we wanted to sit outside she brought extra chairs out for us, brought the drinks out and chatted as if we were old friends.We were asked where we were staying and how was our stay going so far, better that the usual how are you.What a truly genuine lady who had all the time in the world to talk and listen to you without neglecting her other customers. Pop in you certainly won't be disappointed

popped in here to day 4 quick coffee as u do, I was kept waiting and waitingfinelly got the coffee,imsure she was dim witted never again

Popped in here at the weekend while visiting the area. It is very clean, cappucino and hot chocolate was nice and good size cups which is a must for my husband and lemon cake was delicious! Very friendly and will return if in area.

Stopped here mid bike ride, had a lovely coffee and a jam sconne, Fairly good value and the staff were smilling,, Will stop here again

The outstanding feature of Jacob's Ladder is the friendly atmosphere and service. All in keeping with The local City and countyside.A useful meeting place with WiFi for those who need it.

The two ladies were very welcoming and helpful, I went with my husband and elderly mother they accommodated my mothers walker with out question and found us a table which was easy for my mother to get into and out.In regard to the menu it was varied and well thought out they also gave suggestions and alternatives to the menu. The homemade cakes looked fabulous, I was going to order the cherry cake but I ordered the bacon and egg Panini which was great and very filling so regretfully I had to forgo the cherry cake. (I have promised myself next time). The place was very restful and had news papers you could read and nice relaxing music. I would go back again.

Food and drink was top notch, not too expensive. A lot of home made food on the menu, very relaxing, there is nothing to dislike. Made you feel at home

Having survived the (arguably dreadful)Tweed Mill Outlet we were desperate for some sustenance. This place was a veritable oasis. The ladies inside were impeccably welcoming and most obliging when they understood our child's multiple food allergies, allowing us to give her our own food that we'd packed. The Rocky Roads were excellent and my coffee cake simply marvellous. As a coffee enthusiast, the beans were freshly ground with a burr grinder and the latte was wonderfully smooth. The toilets were more than adequate for such a small concern. A really peaceful genteel atmosphere.

Intended calling at Denbigh for a light snack on our return home from a week in N Wales with our two grandchildren. Nothing appealed so we stopped in St Asaphs and found Jacobs Ladder. This is what we found; cleared and cleaned tables, pleasant cheerful staff, overall cleanliness incl. toilets first class, quiet background 'classical' music, newspapers to read, prompt service, good food (excellent bacon in the butties), the cakes looked delicious but we had to be getting on our way. Six other customers arrived as we did, but this didn't put the staff out at all. We would have also liked to have had a look round the Cathedral. Would definitely make a detour from A55 if we were in this area again.Others should take note!

Excellent coffee,friendly atmosphere,attentive,good humoured service and outstanding bacon sandwiches to sustain you on your journey.Afterwards you can visit the cathedral just across the road.

Wonderful peaceful surrounding for excellent coffee, friendly welcome and great quality tasty homemade food. The homemade soups are particularly enjoyable. The bread used is fresh and crusty, not from your average value family sliced loaf! Cakes are home made too. Classical music playing in the background, newspapers available to read and friendly, efficient service. Unhurried and relaxing. Perfect. Thank you.

We've taken to stopping here on our way across to Llŷn - guaranteed good Americano, and the cakes are fab, too.

A great cafe within easy reach of the a55. Well worth the slight detour. I always order the homemade soup. It is always absolutely delicious and served with homemade bread. The coffees are really good, the staff are very friendly and there is always a good welcome.

We are (very) regular visitors and really love coming. Superb home baked treats and the coffee and service are second to none

Excellant service and goods provided here.Good to see someone thats prepared to put their passion and beliefs into their business 100 %.. For those that don't realise yet ? all goods served here are Fair Trade.Definately worth calling in here whether local or if visiting St Asaph.

I always call in here when I am in the area, its a really lovely place to relax. Staff very friendly, excellent service, food is great, not too pricey, I could happily sit here for a few hours reading the papers they provide or lose myself in a good book. I dont think I should write anything else because everyone will be going and then my little bit of peace will be ruined!

We stopped in St Asaph to visit the Cathedral and popped into Jacob's Ladder for a snack. My husband had soup and a sandwich and I had a jacket potato with chilli. Service was quick, the food very tasty and with generous portions. It has a very relaxed atmosphere with comfy seating and a sparkling clean loo! (Nice bonus!)The staff were lovely and it was also good to see locals popping in. It certainly deserves to be popular. We would detour off the A55 to visit again
