HAYSTACK CAFE REVIEWS

Fantastic selection of brunch options which get changed very month, keeping us coming back for more! Love the atmosphere in here too, the playlists always plays absolute bangers! Our favourite place to go for a brunch in the whole of Wales.

Stopped off here on our way to Swansea and it was amazing the cafe itself was lovely inside although by no suprise it can be very busy, we got seated straight away. Very simple and clear how to order and there’s wifi inside. Food was amazing and our dog was offered a free pup cup and water. Lovely staff too would recommend.

WOW. I love the biscoff pancakes here. Staff are lovely. Great matchas too. Highly recommend. Pancakes are so fresh and you get so much toppings!

COAST CAFE MARINA REVIEWS

Lovely breakfast with lots of different options. Even the jam on toast for our toddler was served on such nice thick bread, great quality. Very nice coffee too, with milk alternatives available. Pretty location on the marina with lots of outdoor seating and some indoor. Toilet facilities include baby changing which is very helpful. Highchairs available too.

Stopped here whilst at the marina. The staff were lovely and extremely welcoming. The coffee tasted great and there was a selection of gluten free and dairy free options available. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area and looking for a pleasant cafe experience.

Cracking place for a coffee and cake or a lunchtime snack. Handy for cyclists as it's on Swansea Bay cycle route, by the marina. Plenty of outside seating and pleasant inside. Staff really nice.

CARIAD CAFE REVIEWS

We went to Cariad Cafe on Monday and we were really pleased. We used to come regularly when the previous owners still had it but haven't really had the chance since it changed hands. I would like to say that the atmosphere was lovely and I love the interior. The waitress who served us was lovely. She made sure the order was correct, there were no errors at all with any changes we asked for. She even brought my young daughter a straw completely unprompted. Staff that do little things really make a good business. The breakfast was delicious. Really good ingredients and well cooked. I felt that for the quality and service you get it was well priced. My sister came with me for the first time and was also impressed and would come again (she only goes to the best,ha). Really enjoyable time and even better that the park across the road has been done up and is fab for the kids.

Miss Cariad across the road from us,will love to go again. Lovely to see Scott and staff again Had a very nice teacake and latte before having a haircut. Absolute pleasure again and Scott and staff went out of their way to accommodate us and our guests It was fantastic and we all enjoyed The breakfasts were gorgeous and the atmosphere wonderful Thankyou for making us so welcome

We had a lovely lunch here. Very busy. The friendliest staff who pre warned us that there would be a short wait. Always appreciate this! Menu is priced very fairly. So good to see a small independent business thriving during very challenging times.
