The food was terrible, and the atmosphere was uncomfortable and disorganised. But what really…read moreshocked me was the way the owner behaves online. On TripAdvisor, they regularly insult and mock customers who leave honest feedback -- some of the replies come across as bullying. Their Instagram is just as unprofessional, filled with childish stories, digs at other local coffee shops, and even personal posts that have no place on a business account. One recent story mocked a teenager who works at McDonald's, which I found really alarming. A café should be about good food, a welcoming space, and basic respect -- none of which were present here. I won't be back.

I stopped in for coffee and a treat and ended up having several! Service is good, the coffee and…read moretreats are excellent. It is a great place, very near the castle, to relax and refresh. People watching is excellent here too. Plus, dogs are allowed so your pooch can chill with you. I'd give it a try if coffee, carbs and chillin' is your thing.

Their recent nomination in the Welsh Independent Retail Awards is well deserved and I hope they win.

The art department at th back is similarly helpful, with a huge range of paints, paper, card making, face painting and other art supplies. They have a loyalty card, where you get a stamp every time you spend £10, and once you ahve 6 stamps you get £5 (or possibly £10 I don't remember) off your next purchase.

The Muse is an excellent and cheap source of textbooks and reference books. Their prices are…read morereasonable, in some cases they are cheaper than Amazon and other online stores, and they have a wider range of stock, too. I'm studying languages and The Muse has a wide range of ordinary texts in the languages I'm studying as well as several other languages such as Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Italian, Polish and of course, Welsh. They have, I believe, every single textbook that's required reading or recommended reading on courses at Bangor University and local schools and colleges, and the staff are friendly and very knowledgable. If books are not in stock, they'll order them for you and they'll be there for you to collect within a few days.

They also have a good selection of history, (planes, trains, cars etc) cooking, crafts, dvds,well the list just goes on.

This has to be one of my favourite little shops in Llandudno, hidden away as it is at the bottom of…read moretown. I am a bit of a paperback thriller addict and have regularly taken advantage of the 3 for a fiver selection.

The only problem is that I've now just about bought and read everything they've got to offer!

This is a real antiquarian bookstore in Wales. There are Welsh titles, but mostly English-language…read morebooks. Probably 100% of the items on the shelves would be "treasures" for a buyer with the right interests. When I visited, there were 3 copies (!!!) of the Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales (a treasure by any standard) on the shelves. Unfortunately for me, the items are priced according to their value: the Myvyrian Archaiology ranged from around £300 for a plain binding of the 1870 edition to around £800 for the three-volume 1801-07 edition. This is not a place to find bargains on antique books but, if you want to find a rare book, your chances of finding it here are good. On-street parking in Llandudno is a very dicey business. The traffic is surprisingly heavy, considering the town is literally on the way to nowhere.

I buy quite a lot of books but rarely from the Pier Bookshop. There are several reasons for this,…read moreperhaps the most obvious being that the shop is only open for half the year. It's also a bit out of the way compared to other bookshops in town and because of this it's easy to forget it's even there. If you do manage to remember to go there then you might find a bargain or two but often they have the same books you'll find for the same price in Bookwise or Publishers Book Clearance. Finally you'll often find the books are a bit weathered, clearly the sea breezes and salty atmosphere have an effect on paper. It's still worth the odd browse though.

I recently managed to stock up on books by the likes of Andy McNab and Jeff Lindsey that I haven't been able to find in The Works or any other discount book retailer so it gets a thumbs up from me.
