Waterways Garden Centre Cafe in Wrexham

Called in for a breakfast on route to visit relatives. Breakfast was spot on great service and friendly staff.

Definitely worth a visit and with good wait time, portion size, and taste really are a good roast and worth a drive to get

Visited today, had the most amazing omlette, lovely herbal tea served in proper china tea cup!!! LOVED IT!!! Served by lovely ladies, nothing was too much trouble, everywhere was spotlessly clean, if you’ve never been your missing out! See you all again soon! Pete & Sharon xxx

We called here and decided to go in the cafe for a drink I had a Cappuccino my husband had a scone and an American with milk. When my Cappuccino arrived I had half a cup,it was luke warm and there was no froth.It tasted like a normal very strong coffee My husbands Americans tasted awful and the scone was very dry.Neither of us could drink the coffees and my husband could not finish his scone. We were told at the till that the coffee machine can only be heated to a certain heat otherwise it burns the coffee beans. I think if I was them I would have to look at getting a better coffee machine

Visited with my family including 2 children and a baby the women who work there are really friendly and nothing is too much to them. The food was lovely and the service is brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Me my husband & daughter visited this cafe today situated in Waterways Garden Centre, my husband had the full monty breackfast as you can guess it was everything & we had medium breakfast where you choose 6 items from a vast choice, the food was very tasty & the staff very friendly also very reasonable.We will definitely visit again as they had plenty to choose from & next time might try the Sunday dinner. It’s definitely worth a try. Thank you

Looking for a quick lunch, saw the signs cafe and said this will do ! Well there was a warm welcome and the food was the same as home cooked, not to little and not too big, filled the tummy lovely. We been passed many times in the past but really glad we stopped today, definitely coming back for more.

What a find, we had just walked out of a chain pub, it was so mucky, saw the cafe and thought we would give it a try. Had a lovely meal, with pleasant staff, also it was spotless. Will be going back for sure.

We'd stopped at this garden centre about 5 years ago and it was pretty much of a muchness. Now there are new owners and boy what a difference. I can't eat much because I have a gastric bypass and asked if I could choose from the children's menu for lunch. My husband, who habitually doesn't eat during the day said he wasn't hungry. I was told eating from the children's menu was no problem at all - I opted for fish fingers and chips. Very thoughtfully, I was offered mash instead of chips and it was truly the nicest mash I had ever had. Soft, smooth and buttery. It went down very well. My husband was persuaded to have a cream tea with the scones fresh out of the oven. Lynn who had served us told me that she was using a recipe used by the Australian winner of Masterchef down under. We chatted very easily with her and it was so lovely. At the end I was given the scone recipe and not charged for the second cup of tea that I had. I wish all cafes could be like this. It felt as if our custom was genuinely wanted and we received excellent service and help. If only the café wasn't 62 miles from home or we'd be regulars there. Thanks very much Lyn! Tony & Fiona

Best cafe in the area for freshly cooked homemade meals. Great service from the friendly ladies who own and run the cafe, they always have a smile and a chat and are very welcoming to families with children, with highchairs, colouring books and crayons available. Always lovely and clean and the food is to die for. The cooked breakfasts are tasty and generous, and the homemade pies are amazing! They do lovely coffees too. A brilliant place to visit. Highly recommended.

Dropped in again for a coffee and was pleasantly surprised to find that the cafe was now owned by the lady who had originally owned it. She makes a good cup of coffee, but not only that. I was given a guided tour of the craft room where Santa's elves were preparing gifts for a local good cause. It's a very friendly place and is well worth a stop.

We had breakfast here, great food and value for money. Fast service. Extremely friendly staff, they were very welcoming and we look forward to visiting again xx

called in today with my partner and his parents for a brew, spoke to the owner who was lovely and has just taken it back over again, we decided to have lunch too, they all had the full Monty, I called it the belly buster, and OMG.... it was amazing.... I hasd

Very poor - did not have everything as stated on the menu limited food menu. The garden centre appears dated and pricey - as many weeds as plants throughout. Children's play are very run down

Just had homemade Sunday lunch here - veg was bang on asked for an extra Yorkie as well don't know why cause I couldn't finish it all and to top it off PROPER home made gravy - staff polite and friendly and nothing too much trouble - will defo be going back, thank you for advertising what you are serving - homemade means homemade! 5 stars plus from me

Llamamos en este café, ya que había un letrero que decía "comida casera". Cuando caminar en la decoración era muy interesante y antigua que eran manteles de mesa floral muy pegajoso debido que no limpia correctamente, las cosas en la pared de manera que sólo puedo describir ellos es hortera y pertenecen a un caos la venta. El olor de la grasa me envolvió al que entré. El servicio era pésima la actitud de mujeres que nos sirvió era asquerosa nos dio la impresión de que ella no podía ser molestado y nos estaban pidiendo para el mundo. La comida que no era genial - Orden de las patatas fritas, Queso y salsa era trozos de queso solo tirado en la parte superior de las patatas y se sirve en un plato como si estuviera en casa y mi chip bap no era genial, el bap no era fresca. En general no se visitan este lugar de nuevo!

Café amigable, nos hace todo (bebé, de 4 años, perros y adultos) se sientan bienvenidos. Todos los alimentos tipo día desayuno - recién preparado y sabroso. Me hace pensar (en el buen sentido) del tipo de café cuchara grasienta no verá nada más.

Una sorpresa realmente encantadora, el café ha mejorado 100% ya que el nuevo propietario, tiene un muy buen menú variado y los desayunos que tuvimos eran increíbles, el servicio muy amable, no puedo esperar a probar el domingo asados! Así que volveremos pronto! ! 🙂Xxx

Stopped off for lunch and enjoyed the welcome, home cooked food and general value for money, would go back

Lynn and her grandson were very warm and made us feel like we were her family. We were never once left out in the cold and all the staff were like one big happy family. They stop serving food after three but we would expect that when it was raining cats and dogs outside and the whether was arctic like. The warmth of both customers and staff in the Garden Centre, Aquarium and cafe itself cannot be real. The people were unbelievably kind. We cannot express adequately in words but would pay £20 just to go into the garden centre and the cafe, just to have an experience of what a bit of heaven was like. [We have not encountered such kindness in fifty years in this world, this side of life].

Just when I thought the amazing and delicious Full Monty Breakfast couldn't get any better, the addition of fried bread which I have discovered today, has made it truly outstanding! Thank you Crafty Corner Cafe ladies! If you have not yet devoured one of these legendary breakfasts I urge you to make trip to this great cafe!

We had travelled non stop from Derby on our way to Anglesey, with nowhere to stop for a cuppa en route until we decided to try this garden center. The cafe looks a little shabby from outside, dont be fooled, the inside is clean and done out nicely, vintagey style. The lovely ladies who served us welcomed our dog, offered water and a sausage for him and some friendly chat for us. It was just the pick me up we needed on a long journey. We were able to sit inside the cafe with our dog. The food was good and reasonably priced, the homemade scones were large, tasty and liberally spread with butter. i wish we had had time for a lunch as it was such good value for money.When we travel this way again we will be stopping here again for sure.

Been here several times now and can only give a glowing review for each time. The food has always been fantastic, proper home cooked fresh meals. The 'Full Monty' breakfast is second to none and such good value. We brought some scones home with us last time - they were gorgeous. We always have a laugh whenever we go - no matter how busy they are the ladies will have a chat and there is always a good atmosphere in the place. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a good honest meal with a friendly face behind the counter.

I visit the Crafty Corner Cafe regularly for one of their fabulous Full Monty full English breakfasts. I always request a takeout which they have always done with pleasure, even very kindly providing a plate and a tray before arrival of their takeout boxes! Nothing is too much trouble for any of the lovely ladies that run the cafe, and the food and service is second to none. I have even been provided with their number to enable me to phone my order ahead. On arrival the food is always ready despite placing the order only 5-10 minutes earlier. The food is always well insulated and a bag is also provided with cutlery, napkins and both brown sauce and red sauce sachets. The attention to detail does not go unnoticed! A cold drink alternative to tea or coffee is also gratefully received. Despite my need for takeout the attractive and comfortable surroundings of the cafe have not gone unnoticed. It is bright and spacious and extremely inviting to all who pass by. The delicious home-baked scones on the counter are very inviting too! I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Crafty Corner Cafe team for their fabulous food and the fabulous service they provide. I don't know what I would do without you! Thank you ladies!

While travelling back from Yorkshire we called into the garden centre for a break and some refreshments. Crafty is the correct name, as the lady serving the ice cream had a craft of her own. Rolling the ice cream scoop so small in 2 perfect tiny balls , we couldn't see 2 scoops in the small tub. Which made us laugh after as she said she couldn't fit 2 scoops on a cornet. Omg the cornet must be minute then. I wish I wasn't so polite and should have said £2.50 was a crazy price to pay for it. What a rip off. The ice cream must last them years !!!! 50p would have been to much. Imagine tiny child's bouncing balls or my pet chihuahua is small his toy balls are bigger, I am not joking. And the flavours were not very nice a tad chalky.

We popped in to waterways to enquire about a new pump for our pond.. We had our dog with us and where told there was drinking water for her outside the cafe. I went in to order 2 drinks and then I saw them...home made SCONES !!!. they where gorgeous. Staff where warm and friendly. will be back soon ladies...

Defenatlly a place to go, amazing food very friendly and polite staff, daily specials are the best, lovely inside and out side seating as well

Worm welcome excellent food top staff members will be visiting very soon and the craft shop wow loved it

I visited this cafe earlier nd wow it was amazing staff were so lovely and welcoming the food was amazing and nicely cooked the pricing for food is really cheap. Highly recommend this cafe

This is a great place to stop for a cup of coffee and something good to eat. Friendly and approachable staff. Good food, great prices cannot wait to go again.

Called in this afternoon to be greeted by warm and friendly staff. Order the special cheese and onion pie absolutely delicious, it was fresh (taken out the oven 10mins prior to our arrival) and homemade as was the rest of the food we ordered and plenty of it. Will be calling in again

Been a number of times since been renamed Crafty Corner Cafe,new owners run by three lovely women who know what their doing when it comes to food,eveyrthing homemade and nothing dissapoints,service excellant and feels very homely.

I now run the cafe and we offer good value for money home cooked food, it may be a porta cabin but it is homely and very welcoming, the staff will go out of there way to help in any way they can and we also have a craft and gift shop attached to the cafe.

More of just a cafe than a restaurant, but food is good and staff helpful.I think, privately owned and obviously not splashing the cash - be far better as a smaller, more concentrated outlet rather than trying to cover every aspect as do the bigger ones with the cash to spend.

We visited the Waterways Garden Centre Cafe twice in a week (a sale was on in the garden centre) for hot drinks. The cafe is constructed out of portacabins and considering this it's quite nicely done up inside. Tea and coffee were both OK, we can't complain about the quality and the price. The tea for one came in a pot with two teabags and enough for at least three cups. The Americano coffee was served filling only half the mug but presumably it could have been topped up if one wanted a bigger but weaker brew; as it was it was about the right strength for a single shot. The staff were pleasant. Next to the cafe is the huge feature pond packed with fish and different water plants and also the play area if you go with children. As mentioned in the headline, this cafe is pleasant enough for a garden centre cafe but the planned redevelopment is certainly necessary.

Came here a few weeks ago on a sunday, received a fantastic breakfast with great service from the 2 girls workin who were obviously rushed off there feet but still could not do enough for you. Now the downside... decided to return end of last week.. what a joke the woman working looked like she could do without another customer she was also rushed off her feet and it definately came across in her attitude towards the customers. Call in the cavalry!! A bumbling man came to help her i use the word help lightly. Slow service food slapped on plate cold sausages burnt eggs. My advise dont visit on a busy weekday dinnertime as you will see the bad side.

We visited the Waterways Garden Centre Cafe during the week for a quick Brunch as a couple. Service OK, speed OK and food quality OK... Nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about either

More of a caf than a restaurant, small menu of basics. But nothing specialDespite being cheapish it still didn't feel like good value for money.

This is not really an eating place as the food is very basic. We asked for a cappuccino coffee which was made from powdered coffee and tasted awful. Good for an ice cream whilst the kids play on the swings.

Although operating out of a big portacabin, trouble has been taken to make the inside cosy and welcoming. Staff were friendly and food was excellent value for money. Very prompt service. Lite bites and mains on the menu. 2 eggs on toast for £2.00. Cheese and ham toastie with salad, dressing and some crisps was about £3.50 and with a pot of tea and a cappuccino the total bill was less than £10.00! Can't say fairer than that.

Its not exactly posh as it operates out of old portacabins but its nice basic food and friendly staff

had a lovely breakfast,was good value and very tasty,staff very friendly and helpfull...will defo go again excellent :)

We visited the cafe yesterday, the staff in the garden centre and the cafe were very welcoming, our meal was lovely and very good value for money, the cakes on offer were very well displayed and tasted beautiful, will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent food and service the café is in the middle of the garden centre a very relaxing place to eat or just a nice cup of tea
