Beans to go

What we love

  • •Sells beans to take home, with the owner walking you through the options first
  • •Roasting and brewing equipment, books and posters fill the shop, coffee is clearly the whole point
  • •Staff swap passion and knowledge with customers who come in wanting exactly that
  • •Alternative milk drinks get the same care as everything else, described as well crafted

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.

Sloth Coffee Co★★ Specialty
Mumbles

The house coffee comes from Clifton Coffee Roasters, with a guest espresso rotating alongside it and staff who will talk you through whichever is on today.

Duck & Dough★★ Specialty
Brynmill

A Brynmill bakery-cafe that pulled off something rarer: a spot on the Wales Indy Coffee Guide 2025, one of just 113 venues in Wales picked specifically for its coffee.
