The Cafe at Abakhan in Flintshire

Self-service and card payment only. Prices are high for the quality table was dirty.

A beautiful, chilled environment. Great cafe with great facilities, and a superb play area for children.

Only stopped for coffee, plenty of room and cakes looked good

Why is a teacake part of the breakfast menu. It is a tea cake not a breakfast cake. Ludicrous had to buy a cream cake which I did. Not want is it a ploy to get more money from customers. Teacakes are only served up to 11.30a.m?????????

Stopped for a quick lunch. Great choice of jacket potatoes, sandwiches and main meals. Quick service and we could take the dog in too!

Fish finger sandwich and chips. Came out full and happy

Had a cream tea here and it was pleasant. Would have preferred clotted cream though, but it was great for a break.

Went in for tea and cake. Extensive choice of hot and cold options. All access is flat with no steps and automatic doors. Accessible toilets inside. Cafe is adjacent to a small gift shop selling cards etc.

Went with the wife & mother in law they had rebooked afternoon tea which did look ok. As I wasn’t having the tea I was told go to till order put on high tea table. Not sure if it was 10% OAP discount or roast dinner offer but could not get near till to order very poorly laid out with drinks area to near till area , everyone struggling with drinks machine , reminded me of a school canteen ! I gave up & bought a sandwich on way home Customer service very poor Won’t be calling again!

Great selection of food, lots of parking and friendly staff. X

And it's DOG FRIENDLY in a special area

Came over for a lunch on Saturday 24th of Feb. I asked that chips for my child to be replaced with a mash or jacket potato, paid the full price of the meal from the children’s menu. The women who work in the kitchen brought over our food and said to me “Next time you should be paying more dearer, DONT THINK THAT WE WILL BE REPLACING IT ALL THE TIME” 😁 wow how rude, I felt I was told off! I don’t mind paying more at all but this should be clearly stated on the menu! however all the day was spoiled by the rudeness of the kitchen staff! Jacket potato tasted very rotten, I bet you they didn’t put the fresh baked potato in to a meal for my child as well. I had a soup with a bread and butter and butter tasted rancid too. Rude, unprofessional, food is rotten as well as the attitude! Never again!!!

A break in shopping. Lunch was very good. Food was great. A good choice of msins and cakes.

Lovely place , food is always nice and staff are lovely. Its a very relaxing place to have some coffee and a slice of cake

Very disappointed. Visited on Sunday, was told that the cut off for breakfast was 11.30, that was fine. My friend in front of me was served, but I was refused service at 11.20. There was no discretion by the person on the till to allow me to order with my friend. Was forced to sit with my friend whist he eat his breakfast and I watched whilst drinking my coffee. Poor service altogether.

Stalw cake , inferior coffee unfriendly staff.

The roast dinner was acceptable, but in my view, expensive for what you got on the plate.

Sunday lunch advertised as 12 till 3. at 1.45 all that was left was dried up beef and turkey with a smattering of pink. Asked if any fresh beef was forthcoming and met with a negative and apologetic negative from junior staff member. Will not go again.

Lovely coffee even if it's out of machine Nice fresh breakfast baps Only thing slice of black pudding extra 1.39 Will be back Staff lovely too

Enjoyed Welsh Rarebit & cream Scones.. Very nice. staff attentive & friendly

An excellent restaurant with lovely staff who are very welcoming and helpful. The lunch we had today was very well made and really tasty. It was quite busy with people who were also pleased with the quality of the food and the quick delivery to the tables. We visit often because of it's great quality.

Food fresh staff very happy and helpful

Really nice place, and the cooked breakfast was really nice.👍

I came with my children and my mother and her partner we ordered two roast dinner a welsh rarebit and two cakes the kids had the turkey dinners both had cold parts and warms parts for example the stuffing and meat were cold the veg did look fabulous but no advertised yorkshire pudding in site even though there were lots on the counter the welsh rarebit looked great but there was so much course grain mustard your taste buds couldnt get to the cheese my mother and her partner said the walnut cake was dry the order system is very confusing and the payment being card only is a little annoying i know we had covid but people like to pay by cash sometimes does remind us all it is still legal tender. I expected more as we paid nearly fifty five pounds

Good food and relaxing place.....

Really tasty food that isn’t over priced and definitely worth the money Staff were really lovely too and helpful. Would definitely visit again

Absolute shambles, waited 50 mins for food that never arrived. Asked after 30mins and told there was a problem in the kitchen but it was on its way. Asked after 40mins they were getting it served. At 50mins Asked for money back they said they were waiting for chips, but there were chips on display and when we'd ordered 50mins before so it was just another lie. Don't mind things going wrong it happens but don't lie to cover it up. Terrible management that still charged me for the coffees that went cold waiting for food.

Nice cafe with good quality offerings. Not the cheapest but a good experience.

Beautiful food great service clean and friendly but just a little on the dear side.

The food was excellent and a great choice, the staff were all very friendly and efficient will definitely be back

Visited with two friends. One had the Wednesday Roast Special, she said it was delicious gammon and veg perfectly cooked, followed by lovely piping hot apple crumble & custard the other had Jacket Potatoe with Coronation Chicken and salad garnish she also said it was delicious and very filling and she couldn't manage her slice of millionaire shortbread. I had soup and half a sandwich followed by a cream Swiss finger cake. I loved it and it was perfect for my lunch. As knitters, crafters and makers, a visit to Abakhan is our perfect day out with great food on- site.

Only had coffee and cake as it was late afternoon

Lovely cafe Great food and hot drinks

Brilliant cafe good range of food and drink always clean and tidy, seating inside or outside which ever you fancy the cream teas are yummy if you don't want a full meal x roast dinner looked amazing and the Yorkshire pudding maybe on my next visit I will try a small dinner x

Always good food and nice staff they are dog friendly as well just make sure your dog is well behaved etc.

What a lovely spot to call by for a coffee and a bite to eat. Called in today and wasn’t disappointed. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon and it’s the weekend the clocks go back an hour giving everyone except dog owners an hour extra in the morning.

We enjoyed a Sunday roast here. The portion was plentiful and tasty. Only slight little niggle was that it could have been a little hotter. All in all an enjoyable lunch. Lots of other choice available. If you're not eating tea and coffee and other beverages are available. Nice big cafe with plenty of space and nice and clean.

We walked in looked at the prices of the cakes and drinks and walked back out. £4 for a Belgian bun with cream in - no way won’t be going again

Sehr nette Ambiente, freundliche Service

Very high prices and wait for service.

Unfortunately too expensive for what you get now. Prices have increased but the service has decreased. You used to get a pot of tea with your breakfast delivered to your table, now you have to fill your own teapot, grab your own cups/saucers and pay more for the privilege of doing it yourself! The food is still good thankfully and the staff are pleasant but the price increase along with cutting back in what you receive doesn't add up for me. It was good while it lasted, thanks.

Sunday lunch was rubbish yorkshire pudding was burnt, 1 medium slice of dry beef, very miserly portion for £13, would avoid this cafe indefinitely, definitely NOT value for money!

The decision to change the cafe into a self service is terrible. The cafe used to be brilliant, the food was lovely, the staff were great, now, it’s a shadow of its former self. Would not recommend.

Went today for lunch had a ham salad, when I got to the end of the salad there was sand and a small stone on the plate , informed a member of staff he took it to the manager , he apologised and offered me a free drink , if any one has the salad check the bottom f the plate

Nice and clean and great service.

The food is good however for Sunday lunch the vegetarian option, a sausage with vegetables wasn't too impressive. The carvery was good but as its kept under heated lamps, not that hot.

My partner and I went for lovely walk by the Dee, took some photos of the Duke of Lancaster ship and had a shop at the market. All was great until we went into the cafe. We chose our cakes, we made our own coffees from the machine. Stop at the till and there is an A4 sign, reading "card payments only" not by the door as you go in but after the long self service counters. We had to leave the coffee and cakes as I only had cash on me. Very disappointing from such a large establishment. No doubt our cakes were put back in the cabinet. We will be back for the market (which takes cash) but will be taking refreshments elsewhere.

Nice enough for a cuppa while exploring but nothing special

Been many times on our way home for a coffee and bacon buttty. However, been twice since it became a self service for drinks and also bacon was a bit chewy. If I go to a cafe / restaurant don’t expect it to be like a hotel buffet. If I want to queue and be partial self service I would go to M & S . Sorry to write this but always enjoyed the previous format.

Friday fish day, fish and chips where lovely

sadly it's become expensive, not paying £4.50 for a cake.

The family and I love it we been coming for years

Lovely coffee and a nice cake 🍰 ☕

Love visiting for coffee and a slice of cake, I can honestly say that since they changed the cafe to self service I think it's taken something away, no longer able to chat with staff and because you serving yourself it takes so much longer, OAPs having to carry trays around, my friend helped old gentleman to his chair as he was trying to carry tray as he was waking with his stick, not great, no staff around available to help

I am afraid this cafe has lost its way. They have changed to self service and to keep food warm they leave it to "simmer" under the heat lamps. I had a turkey roll, the bread was dry so I peeled the top layer off and it was no better, the salad was bland with 2 small tomatoes cut in half and 4 slithers of onion, they made the coleslaw with leaves of the cabbage and they went slimy in the watered down budget "mayo". When I took a bite into the roll it was greasy and grissley, there were 2 large slices of turkey but the bottom layer had had grissle on and the fat had melted under the heat lamps! It was horrible. I ate a little of the meal that was not cheap at all and left the rest. I noticed as I left that people that had the fish and chips had left most of that as well as the batter looked like concrete and the fish was prob dry as well, chips were no better and left with peas on the plates. Much better to cook fresh and not try to save money this way. I had intended to come back on the Weds with my cousin for a roast lunch, 2 course meal but we went to Afonwen instead.

Only had coffee and scones. Not busy when went but some staff ignored us for a few minutes. Then one lady on the till helped and was very good. Our two 4 year old grandsons enjoyed the small playground and the play house.

Great lunch, had the ham salad. Super, pro-active customer service, both by the lady at the till and the young man who came to find us behind a building in the shade to bring the food. Thank you very much. Very helpful support when you...

Coffee and cake was awesome very friendly staff

Had a really nice lunch-I choose the roast carvery bap on brown bread. The meat was nice and tender and plenty of it along with a good salad. I’d have left 5 star review but disappointedly was told that they were not allowed to put any stuffing on the bap, gutted!

food is a bit expensive but overall the food here is nice

Wow, we arrived at a beautifully laid out table with matching tea set, flower arrangement and a table cloth. The staff were lovely and brought out the tea and coffee straight away. The afternoon tea arrived and looked amazing. The food was beautiful and nothing...

Good choice of menu, friendly staff, gone back to self service for drinks and order food at the paypoint.

Had a nice cup of coffee and unexpectedly met a friend I hadn't seen for 50 years

The food was lovely. But the staff were not the best one member of staff was more interested in getting away from customers and giving a friend her number felt that she was rude.

Still an attractive venue, despite the changes since last visit. Only card payments accepted, so make sure that your only means-to-pay is not cash. The departure of the sofas near the 'WiFi zone' means that the table next to the automatic entrance door can position you in range of the door sensor. Although the layout has not altered, the position of the ordering/payment station at the end of the former drinks-only dispensing counter can lead to customer confusion, especially if not constantly staffed. Service to the table, of drinks and food, is now very efficient.

This is the second visit we have done here. The first time our order was completely messed up and was made to feel it was our fault. But everyone has a bad day so went to give it another go. Looked at the menu then...

Good coffee. Reasonable price. Friendly staff

The waffles were amazing thank you

£8.45 for a carvery bap that only had roast turkey in it nothing else, not really a carvery bap - it's a turkey bap. Also staff nearly had a meltdown because I grabbed a paper cup from an area which was apparently out of bounds. I have subsequently reduced rating to one from two as the response asked to send details and then went on to ignore the email.

Lovely cafe and the food was lovely and highly recommended. The only problem was a certain member of staff that was rude, did not speak to anyone and had a rather negative attitude towards customers. Wrong person in the wrong job in my opinion and probably the same opinion shared by your other customers.

Lovely cafe, good choice. Although they don't do milk shakes! Card payments only. Lovely seats outside to enjoy al fresco. Very friendly staff.

Staff are very helpful and pleasant. There are different areas and businesses on the site since the last time I was there.

Quite expensive. Staff don't seem happy in their work.

Great small business centre. Crafts and café.

Had a lovely roast ham bap with salad , was delicious. Staff friendly and helpfull

Visited the shops at Abakhan, stopping for a drink on the way to Rhyl. Good choice. Hot meals available. Would recommend

Lovely friendly cafe with good well presented hot food and cakes plenty going on all around the cafe well worth a visit for materials and crafts and everything to do with sewing " a mini brewery "dress making ' ice-creams and gardening ceramic's and a lovely gift shop

Very disappointing. It has changed since my last visit. Very limited menu choice. Very expensive. Service lacklustre.

The food can be quiet expensive for what it is, but the place is clean and they have a dog area in the cafe and a play area outside, also picnic tables and plenty of parking as well

Friendly staff, limited menu though stopped doing roast dinners...decent selection of cakes, dog friendly inside and outside seating.

Plenty varieties of Fabric, absolutely fantastic food, staff are very helpful, welcoming and friendly. The pie and chips are highly recommended by my partner too.

Lovely place to vist go every time I go Wales x

Had a turkey bap, and it was lovely. the only thing missing was cranberry sauce and stuffing.

Nice warm atmosphere and the most beautiful fresh cream cakes and all very reasonably priced. We continue to go back, highly recommended

Nice food, pleasant, and helpful staff

Took our daughter here for lunch. £30.75 for 3 very small jacket potatoes and small salad. 2 were tuna and one was cheese. They were the smallest Potatoes and the salad consisted of lettuce, 1 cut cherry tomato and 3 slices of cucumber. Also included in that price was 3 drinks. Used to love going here for lunch but sorry very over priced for what you get. It's a cafe not a restaurant.

Nice clean cafe, nice cakes and dog area(don't be put off by 'No Dogs' signs it's on the far right, and there are jars of free treats ).

Popped in for lunch and we both ha a panini, but I never had the salad or coleslaw. Food arrived after a little while and there was too much salad for my wife, and she felt bad at leaving so much. We both think there's too salad for one person but enough fir 2.

What a fabulous day out. Crafts, wool, material, sweet shop, dog grooming, vintage shop and lots more.

Amazing! As an employee of one of the local Abakhan businesses, I love the staff discount, and the variety of products on offer to staff

Would like to thank the manager and her staff for making our residents 100th birthday afternoon tea very special, the staff went up and beyond to make sure she had amazing afternoon there all wished her happy birthday and also brought her a present which...

Salad wasn't very fresh lettuce was dry and yellow round edges shame as it spoilt the rest of the meal.

Way to busy dirty tables and poor menu didn't stay!!!

I went to this cafe yesterday morning with a group of friends. We went for breakfast before heading for shopping . The staff was friendly except the cashier, not sure her name was. I think beginning with T. She was so hash with us. After shopping we came back again to the cafe for drinks. I ordered a chip but she said we can not order chips on it own, so I ordered it together with gammon bap. The gammon bap was arrived with out chips. After waited for while, I asked if the chips will arrive soon, she said she did’t order the chips for me, with out saying sorry, so I ordered the chips again. As I was still full from the breakfast, I take the bap home and I gave it to my daughter. She eat half of it but after she turn the bap around, the bap bread was full of mould. I was very sad that I gave the moulded bread to my daughter. So very disappointed with this situation. Shame really. The cafe was looking really nice, all the rest of the staff was ever so friendly. Except her. And she supposed to be the most friendly as she has direct contacts with costumers. And I take notice she was ok with other costumer, not friendly just ok but not to us. I wonder if it could be because we are all foreigner.

The cafe had changed a lot since I was last there, for the better I may add. Service was good. The place was very clean. Would recommend.

Thanks for organising the seating. Hope we didn't cause too much trouble, with extra members joined us, with rearranging the tables. The food came out very quickly. Members enjoyed there meals.

Pleasant, tho fryer not working so no chips! Unusual reason - no gas?

Had breakfast this morning. Very disappointing. No toast with my husband’s breakfast and when I asked about gluten free I was directed to the gf symbol on the menu, however there was only baked potatoes and these were not available on the breakfast menu. They finally agreed to do a gf breakfast for me with awful veggie sausages that weren’t cooked properly and tasted awful. Interestingly there was no bacon on my breakfast….I wasn’t aware that bacon had gluten in it 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Customer service was terrible, both orders were wrong and they were happy to correct the orders but only after they rolled their eyes at us
