The Press Room Cafe

Finally catching up on my reviews from a trip Sue and I took to Wales in July.
One of our first stops after landing in Manchester was in Conwy. We stopped here as this is the town where Sue’s mom was born. After wandering around on a Saturday morning we sought out a place that we might find a proper Welsh breakfast. We came upon the store part on the bottom floor and while inside I noticed a sign for a café just up the stairs. Mentioned it to Sue and we took a look.
Cute little place. Busy on an overcast Saturday morning. We saw that they offered a Welsh breakfast and we were sold.
The breakfast consisted of good toast and Welsh butter, sausage and bacon (you read that correctly), mushrooms, tomatoes and sunny side up eggs.
It hit the spot after a long flight from the states.
A good way to start a trip.

Yummm. I’m still craving the food I had here, and it’s been about 2 weeks…
I ordered a baked potato and chose to have mushrooms and cheese on it. My boyfriend ordered the brie and cranberry panini which I was also tempted by.
Let me start by saying this– I love baked potatoes. I know what a good potato is, and all I can say is that The Press Room Café has amazing baked potatoes. At least the mushroom one is.
It’s served with a pile of cheese that melts quickly, and a stack of seasoned mushrooms that leave a nice sauce for you to dip the potato skin in. My favorite part was definitely the latter.
It’s also served with a decent salad– I enjoyed the dressing.
I could only steal a few bites of the brie and cranberry panini, but it was as good as I expected. It’s difficult to explain how the flavors compliment each other so nicely, but they do!
