Jollys in Isle of Anglesey

Nice cafe and patisserie. Lots off lovely cakes, including gluten free options (the lemon meringue pie was delicious). Some seating has views out to the Menai Strait and Snowdonia.

Nice views, staff were friendly and cheerful. Unusually, there was more than one gluten free option which was very welcome. I will definitely go back when next in the area.

What a lovely place to visit with exceptionally good cakes of all descriptions! We also took home a scotch egg and sausage roll for tea in the van as they looked so nice, and they did not disappoint. The lady who ran the place was really nice too.

Tables were dirty and lots of food not available.

Nice cafe overlooking the Straits. Managed to get a table on a busy Saturday with a super view. Coffee and hot chocolate fab, we didn't eat but food and cakes looked great, staff welcoming and friendly. Definitely a popular place

Stopped in for a coffee yesterday. Very pleasant and spacious cafe but a little confusing. Young girl behind the counter told us to take a seat and someone will be with us to take our order, she then went into the kitchen. We waited a few minutes and, when no one came, went up to the counter and gave our order to someone else. Had a bit of a wait too for it to arrive. Quite a few tables around us were untidy from previous diners which hampered several newcomers looking for a place to sit. Heard one staff member having to instruct another to clear tables. I get this happens when people are busy, but this was a very quiet, very wet, Sunday afternoon. Couldn't fault the coffee when it arrived and, though we didn't have any cake, we saw other patrons have very nice and generous looking portions. Toilets downstairs in what looks like a former bank vault. Quirky bit of history.

This was a bit of a letdown. I came in after they had just shut the side room, and as I approached it, there were no signs, I was ordered, rather abruptly, that the area was now closed and to sit elsewhere. I really wanted a table to write a letter, but there were none unoccupied, I'd paid for my coffee on entry, so I sat in a very comfortable leather armchair, which was too low to write at the table. In mitigation, the lady was having staffing issues and was trying to speak to someone on the phone, so, in my mind, just a forgivable bad moment. However, the real problem was the dogs. I was the only non-dog owner at that time. Most people had two dogs. One had four! All yapping terriers or sausage dogs. Then the whining, yapping, and barking began in earnest. They sounded like a flock of seagulls. It continued for ten minutes before I left, drinking my very nice £3.5 coffee in one gulp. Those dogs should be thrown in the sea, and their inconsiderate owners straight after them.

My wife and I stopped here for breakfast. The food was lovely! Nothing fancy, just well cooked tasty grub. The coffee was also great. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. We sat in the window and watched the sea on a stormy morning. Would recommend.

Friendly staff and homely always.

Beautiful sandwiches and the most yummy coleslaw

Okay, definitely not particularly nice, or 'Jolly'. 2 pieces of cake arrived separately and some time after the drinks. £5.25 for kids milkshake ridiculously overpriced considering the small frothy drink that arrived. Coffee nice but on the small side. Scone soft and pappy, similar to something you buy from a supermarket in a packet. Worst of all only 1 other customer in but most tables were covered in dirty cups and plates and crumbs despite numerous staff working - no interest in keeping place clean - not a single table was wiped clean in the 30 minutes we were there. Maybe caught you on a bad day as most reviews are positive; sorry to leave such a negative review but highly disappointed 😞

Fantastic cafe. So welcoming to me and my family. Free WiFi. Amazing cake and drinks selection. Comfortable and friendly. Staff were wonderful with us. Highly recommended

The whole experience was bad told to sit down and someone would come and take our order. So we did that and waited, waited and waited. Others came in after us and they also waited and waited. When the waitress arrived she took everyone's order and disappeared . So as you guessed we all carried on waiting and you guessed it waiting. When the drinks and food arrived the capachino was luke warm and my husbands meal which was a Scotch Egg that looked lovely but when he tried to cut it it was stone cold and hard and the coating was dry and thick. We informed the waitress and he was given another one which was warm but unedibl so my husband ended up walking out and I was left to eat alone (my meal was OK) It ruined our day out together and although staff were apologetic continued to charge full price for my meal and drinks. Not good enough Jollys the place was in chaos we will not be visiting again . Quite a few unhappy customers there today. P.S the views were lovely x

Great staff so friendly , fantastic service

Excellent food in a lovely location. Great selection of cakes and savory food. Friendly service and highly recommended!

Nice view across the Menai Strait if you can get a window table.

Called in for a tea and cake had a massive slice of lemon cake and it was delicious service was great and a relaxed atmosphere a pleasant experience 😁

Not overly busy but the service was slow and definitely not jolly. Coffee and cake once they arrived although separately we're nice.

So overpriced. £4.95 for a kids hot chocolate! 4 hot drinks came to £18! Standard outdated coffeeshop, nothing special.

Lovely little coffee shop close to the pier, staff are friendly and helpful and make the atmosphere of the place so cosy and welcoming. The food and drinks were amazing and although we didn't try a cake, their selectiom was huge! Would definitely recommend, and would come again!

Food was tasty. Ordered a cheese and tomato panini. Not many options for vegan cakes It has a nice ambience with views of Menai strait from the windows

Comfy seats, excellent service, tasty coffee and the best jacket potato I've had in ages!

Ordered x2 bacon and sausage sandwich’s, a flat white and tall americano. Sandwich’s were surprisingly very good despite the reviews. Only suggestions would be to get the fat cut off the bacon. The prices are a little steep (£20 for the above) but on the whole pretty good.

Lovely little cafe with great choice of snacks and cakes. We had the coronation chicken sandwiches and pork pie with salad (yum) with ginger beer and cranberry juice to wash down, lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Nice coffee and a lot options of cakes 🎂

Was away for weekend with friends and we wanted a coffee . What a lovely place and wow the cakes . We all had different dishes but we're all satisfied. Great customer service too

Extremely rude staff, very unwelcoming, Unable to seat us and heard the staff/management whispering they did not want us to wait for a table, then seated a lady who came in after us. Very rude this place was recommended but due to the behaviour of the staff/management we did not eat here, please do not give these people your custom the Bold arms where far kinder and the food was amazing.

Not as good as usual. Service was rushed to order, we had just sat down and were asked to order without even seeing the menu. Then asked to pay as soon as our drinks arrived, they brought the machine with them. Overall we felt very rushed, in done out.

I love this coffee shop, My friends and I visit on occasion and the atmosphere is lovely the food is brilliant and the drinks are great it's a proper coffee shop through and through.

Nice up-market cafe. Great place to get lunch, cakes and coffee.

Popped here one very busy Saturday afternoon, staff very friendly and attentive, we had a light lunch which was a couple of paninis very nice indeed. Couldn't leave without trying one of the beautiful cakes on display, I had the lemon and blueberry and husband had the white choc and raspberry which both cakes were delicious, Highly recommend anyone visiting beaumaris to pop into jollys.

Food nice and fresh and okay place found us a table very busy place needs make over dog friendly the sandwiches where nice

it’s was the best service ever staff are so lovely panini are to die for i had a coffee and lunch and it was sooo worth it it was the best thing i’ve ever eaten. 3 friendly women on the 3 of march i had a lovely conversations with them very helpful and i’m definitely returning RECOMMEND !!!!!

Always love coming to Jolleys, service is always spot on 🥰 had the scotch egg with a salad for lunch omg it's to die for 😋😋and a delicious chocolate milkshake, can't wait to visit again soon ❤️

This was one of the very worst places I have ever visited. It was very busy so we were sure it would be alright. We ordered one Scotch Egg with salad, and one Pork pie with salad and two large Americanos. The plan was to half the savoury items and share them between us. We waited quite a while, and then served the above. The Scotch egg was old, tough and you could not get your knife into it. We ate the egg from the middle whilst my husband brave,y battled to extract some meat from the tough outer. Abandoning this we cut the pork pie in half, to discover grey pastry and a small piece of pork, which unfortunately my husband ate. The salad was obviously old as the leaves had gone soggy and tasted foul. We fiddled about with this before drinking our coffee and returning the plates to the server. Whereas the server was not outwardly rude, she did say we should have returned the food immediately and that we had “eaten some of it”! I accepted this was the case , and asked her not to serve anyone else with this stale food. They refused to take the goods from sale. My conclusion is that this place should have its food inspected asap, and also that the staff take some training in customer service. Yes we are not regulars, but they are taking advantage of visitors to Beaumaris whom they hope never to see again by serving downright inedible food.

We visited yesterday in the hunt for a drink and something to nibble. We received a warm welcome and had a lovely table in a sunny window. Cakes and drinks were great, very reasonably priced. I also noticed something quirky while on my way to the rest room, the basement gives away the former use of the building, as there are some huge bank vaults downstairs.

Our arrival scarcely noticed. Waited 5 mins to be seated. 3 women behind counter talking v loudly, one with a very loud irritating laugh. That seemed to be their priority, to amuse themselves. Waited too long to give our order...just tea and Cappucino. Waited tooooooo long for it to arrive. When it did, tea fine, coffee barely tepid. Will NOT return.

Whilst we've visited Beaumaris for many years and several times throughout the year, we've always opted for Beau's Teashop. This time, we we had to find somewhere else so opted for Jollys - what a find!! A really welcoming team, lovely cake selection, which were delicious 😋 and generous and lovely hot drinks. It was busy, had a warm welcome, and seemed very popular. We'll definitely go there from now on and have recommended to others 👍

Lovely old café with great views!

the final straw was them not accepting money

Very expensive. £16+ for 2 cups of coffee and 2 pieces of cake.

Went in for a coffee, there was one person working there who was not friendly to us. Nevertheless we waited ages to be served, only for her to serve people that came in after us first. We gave up waiting - avoid unless you want a long wait for food and drink.

Avoid if at all possible. We paid £14.50 for two teas and toast, most expensive in Europe. Not overly clean. Don't know what has happened here used to be top dollar great place and very popular, now it's empty and not a great experience.

Avoid if you can. We waited a long time to be served and it wasn’t brilliant when it came. Very expensive too. There are better places in Beaumaris.

Ordered two flat whites and got given some espresso shots with unsteamed boiled milk on top. The server spilled a quarter of one of the coffees while placing the coffees down and did not offer to remake the coffee or even wipe anything down. Lazy service and no care given the product. A real shame as Jollys used to be a great place to visit.

Visited earlier today around 1.30pm as we were looking for hot food that wasn't chips. No jacket potatoes, no panini - we politely advised we were leaving - such a shame as we had to take our business elsewhere ☹️

Todays staff where jolly and helpful food Lovely and drinks where so good. I recommend going. Will definitely go again

We popped here for a quick breakfast. I enjoyed the simple toast and butter, which was lovely but slightly overpriced at £3.25. Coffee was spot on, along with the homemade Viennesse Whirl I had, so good! Huge range of cakes, a must have. Very friendly staff and lovely views.

Understaffed, also existing staff need thorough training. Not a lot of hand washing going on between handling raw bacon and cakes, toast, etc. Coffee not particularly warm. Table sticky. Cake average. All in all, it was expensive for the experience. Shame really as it was much better in the past.

We had a lovely lunch, jacked potato were amazing just like sandwiches and cakes!! Especially the coffe and walnuts ;) The stuff was super friendly! Highly recommended!

Waited at the ‘wait here to be seated’ sign to be shouted at across the cafe by a member of staff to take a seat and she’d be over to take our order. Sat patiently for a while when another couple who obviously knew the routine arrived. They were told to sit and wait for service, but rebelled after waiting some time and went to the counter to order, then came back to sit down. Waited patiently some more, still no service. Got up and left, 2 staff chatting by the kitchen door shouted ‘thank you’ sarcastically as we left.

Waited at the sign 'wait here to be seated' for 5 minutes. None of the 3 staff members visible acknowledged us. At this point I was a little confused so looked for a table. This was when I was first acknowledged as I was asked to move out of the way. I returned to the entrance and waited again. The decor looked nice and the food looked ok but the general approach by the staff didn't suggest that they were interested in customer experience. We left without any attempt by staff to seat or even acknowledge we were there. We walked 2 minutes to the Pier House and were greeted as soon as we walked in the door by friendly welcoming staff. Amazing what the simple things do in terms of giving customers a great experience. I will definitely be giving Jollys a miss in future. Hopefully the owner will invest in customer service training.

Absolutely love coming here! Best cakes and coffee in town. I have to say what makes this one of my favourite places to visit is the staff - all happy to be in work and always give me a smile. Would definitely recommend to groups of friends or going solo because the staff are so welcoming. Best red velvet cake I’ve ever had!

Lovely staff, more than appetizing pastries and prices appropriate for the location of the site. A place to stop whenever you pass by

Friendly service, good range of sandwiches & cakes. Views over the Menai Strait. Perhaps slightly overpriced?

What a friendly and happy feeling little place this is. I left feeling very happy, as all the staff appear to really enjoy working here giving a great service. Lovely food, sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc and a vast selection of cakes biscuits and bakes. Keep up the good work! btw Dog friendly too

Stopped for cake and a drink, very busy with young families. Cake was very nice but took a while to get cake once the drinks had been served. Can recommend the coffee and walnut cake.

Great cafe in the old bank. Brilliant selection of cakes, sandwiches and some hot food. Shirt wait for a table, but we were seated and food was with us in no time. All the ladies working there were friendly and the service fantastic, despite being quite busy. Dog friendly with water bowls and treats. Snickers flapjack was amazing!

We came here for a light lunch. We had ham and cheese panini served with salad. I'm guessing this was once a bank as there were heavy looking vault doors downstairs where the toilets are. Staff friendly and welcoming. They have a good sense of humour. The cakes on offer are a must if you go here. Absolutely yummy. Highly recommended. Thanks again for your services.

The rudest staff I have ever had the displeasure to encounter. Customer service training desperately required.

The service was very slow, with staff running about looking busy, but achieving little. After a long wait and a reminder that our order had not been taken, we were served. We will not go there again.

Great service and amazing cakes!

lovely home made food. we had pannini baked potato and large sausage rolls. The latte coffees were really good. Great service, quick and friendly. Interesting building which must have been a bank at some point.

Visited this establishment on the 16th of August. Wonderful friendly atmosphere, nothing too much for any of the workers. Wonderful and quick service! Would definitely visit again!

Popped in for lunch, as this was a quiet cafe compared to others in Beaumaris. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated, even though there were lots of people in the kitchen area appearing to not be doing anything. Once seated, we chose what we wanted fairly quickly. We were told that they had no paninis left, so ordered something else, which is fine. However then when they didn't have sausages and bacon for the rolls, they provided alternative sandwiches in panini bread! We were sat in an area with 2 other tables and they served the wrong drinks and got food orders wrong for all three tables! On a plus side it was £55 for lunch, which is reasonable for 6 people.

Poor. Sandwich was old and not good. Would’ve complained but service was horrendous.

Good reasonably priced lunches.

Extremely disappointed waited to have order taken a very long time after being told at the counter all orders are taken by staff member at the table not at the counter. Finally had coffee and two sausage rolls,went to pay bill once once we had finished and was over charged. Final bill came to over £18 for two coffees and two sausage rolls asked for itemised bill to proof discrepancy which was not offered.will not return.

Seltsamer Laden, unorganisiertes Personal, Bestellungen wurden nach 45 Minuten (Getränke) nie gebracht, abkassieren wollten sie sie dagegen schon. Der Ausblick macht einiges wett, aber dennoch kann man nicht mehr als einen Stern geben.

Came in here for cake and coffee. Decent cake and decent coffee but service seemed a bit erratic and was not a relaxing experience as the place just seemed so hectic and cluttered. Arrived and waited by the 'Please wait to be seated sign' and a hollered over from a crowd of people 'Is it for two ?'. A few moments of bewilderment wondering where it came from and I shouted back my response. Only a small thing really but it does not create the right ambience. We had comfy seats but the table next door was occupied by a group with no volume control right on top of us and I had their dog literally sat at my feet. A nice enough place and had it not been busy I am sure it would have been a different experience.

Noodle haired waitress did not look happy to serve us! She appeared hungover and smelt like f@gs… cakes were dry, service was below par. Will not be returning.

Truly awful. About 12:30 we popped in looking for tea and sandwiches. We waited to be seated as per the sign at the door. Eventually someone came to see us and directed us to a dark corner in another room. We asked if there was anywhere with some light to which we were directed although it seemed reluctantly. After waiting 20 minutes we flagged a passing waitress to say we wanted to order. She came back once she had found her notepad. We ordered from the menu but asked what was in the paninis. She had to go and ask. No fillings available that were palatable for us. Asked what sandwiches were available, only cheese and ham which was okay for my wife. I asked for the large sausage roll and salad as per the menu. Off she went again to ask and came back to say no sausage roll but they could do a sausage bap. As we had been there 40 minutes with not even a cup of tea we gave up and left. Dreadful, almost surly "service" definitely NOT recommended

Lovely staff, quick service, good price, no gluten free main meal but a lovely gluten free cake and oat milk available. Dogs welcome :)

Rainy day so popped in for a coffee. The staff were turning customers away even though there were free tables. Waited ages for a poor coffee and hir chocolate. Very friendly but drink not great

called in here for a tea toast, 4 family members had a few bits to eat. the toast was like rock, the tea was weak, the two slces of cakes were stale, not enough butter to cover the toast and to top it off the bill was £59 this place used to be a bank, it seems the robbers never left. p.s. Nice they let dogs in but considering 80% of tourist visiting have dogs it's a wise move.

Friendly staff, good service and great food Recommended

We were spoilt for choice for cake, which was as tasty as it looked. I'd definitely be coming here again. Thank you for the excellent time we had.

Not good. The loudest most unprofessional lady I've ever seen ( heard ) in an eatery. No consideration for paying customers. A quiet bru it isn't. My advice, put up a flask and a nice sandwich yourself, find somewhere scenic & peaceful to sit and enjoy. You'll save a lot of money too. 💰

Very clean, a bit on the small side. Bacon bap and cup of tea £11.00ish.

Very Good food and very friendly and welcoming to customers. Dogs also welcome.

Very friendly staff, great cakes and lovely coffee. Not forgetting they are dog friendly too. Visit every time we are in the area.

Sadly this once excellent coffee shop is somewhere we wouldn't choose to visit again. We were surprised to find it almost empty on a very busy bank holiday weekend, which should have warned us. The greeting on waiting to be seated was offhand and unfriendly as the staff of four were more interested in looking at their phones and noisily discussing their social lives. Attempting to get away from the noise we sat at a table by the window and waited. And waited. And waited. The racket continued, nobody came for our order. It was impossible to have a conversation above the row. So we gave up and walked out. What a shame to see the deterioration. To get this place back on an even keel needs a complete reset, starting with making it clear to the staff where good manners, diligence and a work ethic is required. The customer should not be treated as an unwelcome intrusion. We cannot comment on the quality of the food and drink. The location is perfect but wasted in the present situation.

Visited on 19.05.23 looks great from outside and nice set up inside. Wanted some dinner (jacket potato, a sandwich etc) no mention of any issues with food etc as we were shown to our seat. Overheard the staff member telling someone else they had no jacket potatoes, disappointed but thought never mind I will have a panini, staff member came over they only had tuna Mayo and had no food at all other than cakes Why bother opening if you have nothing in, just wasted everyone’s time. I wouldn’t have minded if you told me when you met us at the door but assume that would of been too difficult ?? Worth avoiding this one

Went to Jolly’s for coffee and cake mid morning. Sign saying ‘ wait to be seated’ which we did, only took a couple of minutes to be seen and taken to a table. We ordered two Americanos - no milk. There was a choice of reg or tall - £3.85. The coffees arrived in what we considered normal size cups, but we were assured these were tall? There was no ‘crema’ on them and they didn’t taste that great. For £3.85 for a black coffee I would expect great flavour. We also ordered cake which was nice and appeared home made. Be aware the toilets are down quite steep stairs, and the whole area leading to them could do with a good clean. The ladies toilet wasn’t great- the seat was practically hanging off and again needed a good clean. For the prices charged we would expect clean and nicely decorated facilities. Sorry even though the cake was good, coffee (the main thing) let it down.

1st visit we were totally ignored and left ,2nd visit was a little better ,young girl was considerate thr older persons seemed not to be bothered

Great place just opposite the light house and Puffin island. Loads of little items for sale bought some cards Phil the owner kindly gave me a little pot of gin and tonic marmalade to try. Full of colourful character well worth a visit just for their HOT CHOCOLATE.

My husband & I visited Jollys for a snack. On entering the cafe, you are told to' Wait to be seated'. No one acknowledged us for a several minutes. Then a young girl led us to a table. We waited for several minutes for her to return to take our order. We then waited about 20 minutes for our order to arrive - nothing complicated, just a scone & a drink. People who came in after us were served before us. Indeed, a couple of waitresses came to ask us if our order had been taken. We have been to Jollys a couple of times before, & it is always unfriendly service & quite disorganised, despite having quite a few staff on. We will definitely not be returning again.

Very poor service, waited a long time for our food which never arrived. Got charged for the food and when I said it had not arrived, so I am not paying for it, was told I should have reminded them!

Nice Coffee House makes a change to have a proper tasty cup through the machine rather than bean to cup as in other places

Staff were very disorganised. We waited 20 minutes before our order was taken then another 20 for it to arrive. Coffee was nice but sausage rolls had been microwaved so were soggy. In extreme need of a makeover, extremely tatty especially the toilets which were not pleasant.

Really terrific place with a very happy and hilarious staff who are just as jolly as the establishment’s name suggests. Excellent service, good strong tea, great food and we just couldn’t fault it. Marvellous views at the back too. Smashing place.

Recently visited Jolly’s whilst visiting the island …… Decided on the egg sandwiches as there was hardly any choice, other was cheese and Brandon in the fridge counter! Also had cappuccinos…the coffees were ok but one cup was cracked on the outside. The cheese sandwich was mouldy on the bread with fur and green mould spots , the bread was very dry. A replacement sandwich was given but it had ruined the experience because this should not of happened , who serves mouldy bread? Best still not to notice it? Sadly would not visit this coffee house again and the dogs inside a food place is a little off putting..🤨🤨

A lovely dog-friendly coffee house & patisserie with a view of the mainland. Service and lunch options perfect for complimenting a day out. Highly recommended.

Cody little café, nice coffee and great selection of cakes.

They took 1 hour to make my food

Stopped for a wander on an impromptu day out. Warm welcome on arrival and our orders were taken quickly. Very impressed with a Gluten Free cake option as they can be hard to come across. Lovely coffee and tasty cakes. Will return if we're in...

Great dog friendly cafe. Staff very friendly and has great views. Good selection of cakes and drinks

Such a friendly place and snacks so much to choose from.

Nice Coffee but building smelt very damp

Staff pleasant and approachable, had a delicious toasted tea cake and pot of tea ☕
