An own-roasting cafe on Western Street where the espresso arrives in a preheated earthenware cup, and a properly named cortado is on offer if you want something specific to order.

Swansea's own-roaster serves espresso in a preheated earthenware cup, not a takeaway lid.

What we love

  • Roasts its own beans, under a name that says so
  • Espresso served in a preheated earthenware cup
  • Cortado named specifically on the drinks range, not just flat white and latte
  • A regular who's tried most of Swansea's coffee spots calls this their favourite

Hoogah★ Everyday

A Sandfields brunch spot where the shakshuka usually gets the credit, except the coffee keeps pulling equal praise across hundreds of reviews.

Refinery Coffeehouse and Roasters★★ Specialty
Killay

The owner will talk you through the bean options like it's the best part of the day, then send you home with a bag to prove it.

Storm in a Teacup Coffeehouse★★ Specialty
City Centre

A single stall inside Swansea Market turning out espresso and iced coffee good enough that regulars rank it among the best coffee in the building, market snack or not.
