For a while, following the closure of Sayers, Colwyn Bay was devoid of a place to grab a quick pie…read moreor pasty. Luckily that void has now been filled by Megabite. Literally filled in fact as they occupy the former Sayers premises opposite the entrance to Morrisons in the Bay View Centre. They offer a range of hot pies, made to order sandwiches, baked potatoes and cakes. I've now tried most of the pies, which with the exception of a massive oggie, are all priced at £1.10. They are all very tasty and have plenty of filling. Personally I'd recommend the Cornish Pasty but only because it's easier to eat on the go. If you don't mind gravy dribbling down your chin then there's nothing wrong with any of the other pies. I haven't tried a sandwich or baked potato but from what I've seen they look very nice. I've tried a couple of the cakes which are generously sized and generally very nice, although I did once get a chocolate eclair that wasn't quite as fresh as it looked. All in all a great place for quick, cheap and tasty food on the go.

There is always plenty to choose from, from sandwhiches to pies and sausage rolls etc. Personally…read moretheir sausage baps are the best around.. fab value for money, very filling & really tastey!

The Glass Lounge is located on the junction of Penrhyn Road and Conwy Road in premises previously…read moreoccupied by Speakers and before that Speakers Corner. It's a fairly small place but appears spacious and airy thanks to a high ceiling and all round floor to ceiling windows. There's a limited number of tables, all with artfully quirky mismatched wooden chairs and at either end are sofas for those who want the Central Perk vibe. Foodwise the choice is very limited, basically it's soup of the day, toast or one of four sandwiches or four ciabattas. Actually this is no bad thing, I've seen enough episodes of Kitchen Nightmares on which Gordon Ramsey has taken chefs to task for over elaborate menus and clearly the Glass Lounge philosophy is it stick to what they're good at. When my wife and I visited we decided to order a different ciabatta each and share them between us (they came cut into two which helped). The two we went for chorizo, goats cheese and sun-blushed tomatoes and bacon, brie and cranberry were both excellent. A decent size, plenty of filling, quality ingredients and toasted just enough to make the cheese gooey without being lava hot. They came served with a small side salad and some tasty coleslaw. The choice of drinks is much wider than the food with a range of hot drinks, smoothies, milk shakes and soft drinks. My Americano was very good. It isn't all that cheap (for Colwyn Bay at least) and two sandwiches, a coffee and a tea came in at just over twelve quid, but the food was top drawer. This is somewhere I'd visit again for a treat but I couldn't afford on a regular basis.
