Geek Retreat Cafe

I want to liked this place since it has stuff I'm interested in, mainly DnD but it has been super frustrating to try to partake in DnD. I don't know anyone else irl that is interest in it meaning I can't go to a friend house to played DnD. Thought this place would be perfect for me. Thanks to my work schudle, it basically impossible to played DnD on their days they host it (Saturday and Wednesday) as I only able to played it once. That being said, it wasn't a proper one per say as I was the only one that attended meaning another staff had to played with me. I still enjoyed it but I still want a full experience of it. They did updated so that it was Saturday and Monday instead which is great as I do have Monday off most of the time. Instead however but it seen no one attended on Monday? If they do come back (temporary close as I type this), I hope they rethink the days they host DnD or a way to attract more people. I'm under the impression it wasn't popular as I don't think they had hose it every week? Before you mention why not played DnD online like Roll20, I can't stayed focus on the computer screen for 3+ hours due to home life situation and hence why I want to played DnD more in person.

Hands down the go to place to go to if your into any sort of pop culture Matt the owner is one of the nicest people I have ever met he makes you feel very welcome I would happily sit there all day with my friends if we are looking to have a chilled out day great facilities and amazing people that go

Visited here to escape the rain during our short break to Llandudno. Really glad we did as it’s a great place to chill out, play fun games and enjoy tasty food. They really do have a fab selection of games. My 2 kids really loved it and it made the rainy day one of our most memorable. Got to give credit to the staff, there was only 1 guy working but he was great and really attentive. Can’t wait to go back

Touristing around Llandudno, found this perfect Geek hideaway. Comics to read, game console to play on, tables for games. Perfect. Wife and kids both play Magic so couldn't resist spending money... Immediately got invited to the tournament this evening as well 😀. If your a bit of a geek, and if you have some time to spare, do visit. The place does however feel a bit like a cards-tournament-center (or a high school cafetaria) than a shop/cafe, which makes it feel a bit awkward if you step inside. Perhaps make the place feel a bit more approachable for those of us who are not hard-core Magic, Pokémon or D&D players . Maybe giving some other (geeky) (card or board)games a more prominent place as well(?) Unless thats the specific public you want to attract. --EDIT-- Considering the actual purpose and idea behind this place (as described by the owner), changed to a 5 star rating!

As a secret geek it’s great to see that places like Geek Retreat are so relaxed and easy going with a fantastic selection of books, comics and games to choose from you could spend hours soaking in the culture! I will however strongly recommend the Bacon and Cheese Dog with the Jaffa the Hut milkshake. Real winner. Hope to be back again soon!

Coffee and milkshakes brilliant. Great choices of geekery. Staff friendly. Not sure if all black chairs are like it but both chairs to the left of the door as you walk in start to feel it will collapse as the legs slide outwards... all members of group tried of varying weights so wasn't that and the purple chair was fine.
