Swansea's retro-decor institution for hearty breakfasts and a proper bowl of cawl. The coffee holds its own too, with an own retail range spanning single origins and a house blend.

Swansea's retro-decor institution where cawl and fry-ups matter more than the coffee, and that's fine.

Storm in a Teacup Coffeehouse★★ Specialty

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.

Gower Coffee Limited★ Everyday

1957-rebuilt, wood-panelled and mosaic-tiled, this is the Swansea cafe where Dylan Thomas and his circle used to meet, still pouring its own house filter coffee.

Little Man Swansea★ Everyday

Order the filter coffee, with milk on the side if that's your thing. It's the one specific reason to seek this counter out inside Founders & Co on Wind Street.
