The Old Electric Shop in Hay offers a mixed experience for visitors. While many appreciate its eclectic selection of second-hand and antique items, and some find the coffee superb and the atmosphere inviting, complaints about service and cleanliness mar its reputation. Frustrating experiences include unhelpful staff, long waits for drinks, and underwhelming food options, like a disappointing vegan wrap. However, others rave about the delicious vegetarian breakfast and the shop's unique ambiance. Despite some delightful moments, the inconsistent service and issues with certain products leave a notable divide in customer satisfaction, making it difficult to recommend without hesitation.
