It’s pretty easy to ‘dunk on’ Swansea’s city centre; with the closing high-street shops, lack of free parking and anti-social behaviour issues – BUT – I am a passionate defender! I’m going to write a whole post on this at some point – but quickly, I think it’s not fair to compare it to Cardiff,...
First off – I fully apologise for not being able to make a Welsh Breakfast look ‘aesthetic’, but if you love cockles and laverbread as much as I do (it’s my death row meal), I feel like you’ll understand how delicious the Welsh Breakfast from Cariad Caffi in Penclawdd looks from my picture, and if...
Right on Swansea Bay front, The Observatory cafe and bar is undoubtedly the most dog-friendly place to get a really good brunch or an boozy drink looking over the sea, with indoor and outdoor seating over the sand. I’d say it’s probably the most ‘aesthetic’ venue in Swansea, with great-looking food and interiors, as well...
When it comes to good food and coffee in West Cross, there’s slim pickings – so thank God for Rag and Bone cafe which is located at the ‘top shops’ in West Cross Swansea (136 W Cross Ln, West Cross, Swansea SA3 5NG) – which is one of my favourite places to eat in the...
When friends from outside of Swansea come to visit, Gin and Juice in the Mumbles is where I take them. Firstly, the restaurant is beautiful – It’s a real show stopper with a log burner, plants (a LOT of plants) and an indoor/outdoor conservatory – which means you can look out at stunning Swansea Bay...
Mumbles Coffee in Swansea is no doubt, one of the most popular spots in the village. There’s the main cafe on the corner, the booth in the arcade and its little brother Microlot, on Dunns Lane – all super busy. They take their coffee very seriously – partnering up with local businesses and sourcing ‘the...
Fika is one of the newer places to eat and drink in Newton Road, Mumbles (though it’s been around a couple of years) – but it’s become a firm favourite thanks to its food’s quality and value for money. When I heard a bagel place was moving into the vacant building, I was a bit...
Mumbles Coffee is maybe… maybe… the best coffee in Swansea. The main cafe and the separate booth on Newton Road is always so busy. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the height of summer with all the tourists or it’s pouring down in November – there will be a queue for coffee. But locals know about...
If you’re a fan of a fancy doughnut – you know, the kind with all the delicious bells and whistles, then you need to get yourself down to Crewders in Brynmill because the doughnuts there are next level. There’s nothing else in Swansea like them. Freshly baked onsite, by the friendliest team (I think it’s...
