Caffe Nero

The newly opened branch of Caffe Nero in Llandudno is proving to be quite the success. It feels a little bit small inside (although seating is spread across two floors) but the staff are friendly and the coffee/snacks are certainly good. Worth a visit.

Burton's Llandudno store enters its final few days before closure. There has been a Burtons on the site since 1935. The unit has been purchased by leading coffee shop chain Caffe Nero. No doubt other coffee shops in the area are very nervous of this new arrival.

Caffe Nero is coming....

The news that Caffe Nero will be coming to Llandudno will be good for Mostyn Street, I think.

Caffe Nero have confirmed to me that they intend their Llandudno cafe to be open 'late November/early December', which doesn't give them a whole lot of time to refurbish existing premises/apply for change of use. Could it be that speculation about Burtons Corner is misleading and they actually intend to just buy and re-brand an existing cafe business on Mostyn Street? Or are they just very fast workers...?

As always...time will tell.
