Cafe W in Waterstones Bookshop in Swansea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Das Café ist im Buchladen integriert und befindet sich im 1. Stock. Selbstverständlich kann man sich Bücher zum Schmöckern mitnehmen. Die Kuchen und der Kaffee waren lecker. Herzhafte Speisen gäbe es auch.

We are regular visitors to Swansea but it is easy to miss the cafe at Waterstones as not all Waterstones have cafes and the bookshop itself is towards the edge of the main centre. On our latest trip we were passing and noticed the cafe sign so gave it a go. Very pleasantly surprised. Decent amount of space and well set out with a good range of cakes, snacks, etc. - certainly enough of a range to cater for breaks or lunch. I would certainly make this a more regular stop for us in future when we are in the area. Particular shout out to the member of staff who was on duty when we were there - very friendly, welcoming and efficient - don't know his name (friendly guy with very colourful hair!) he is a real asset to the place.

Popped in just to look for a book then feeling slightly unwell decided to go up stairs to the cafe we ordered cheese and onion toasty salad sandwich pot of tea and a cappuccino. I am old enough to remember this as a cinema and seeing some of the original interior was so pleasing the food and drinks where very nice décor also calm and the service was very good the only criticism I can make that it is grossly over prised for toasty and sandwich. There is a lift for those would need it but no toilets and it is relatively small but cosy Just well over priced

I cannot fault the customer service in the slightest! I was served by a lovely lady in the cafe when I first arrived who lent me a pen and took interest in my day. As I went to leave, I took back my coffee and food and Mo offered me a takeaway cup. As small as these gestures were, it really shows how compassionate they both are. Thank you for the lovely experience xo

Friendly service and excellent hot chocolate. Thank you. Nothing elkse to say even to fill the required letter character quota.

lovely for a quick snack as well as just a coffee and cake and good service. good selection and variety

Found this cafe by chance whilst strolling around Swansea and really enjoyed a muffin and a Cappuccino coffee in a relaxing atmosphere. It is sited in a former cinema called The Carlton and is part of a Waterstones book shop. The conversion has been tastefully done with many features having been retained. Both of the lady staff members I met were obliging, friendly and courteous and there was a lovely choice of cakes and pastries on offer. The visit made a welcome break from window shopping and I recommend.

We were shopping in Swansea on Saturday 18th May and popped into the “W” cafe at Waterstones. A delightful setting, in the former Carlton cinema on Oxford Street which was the first purpose-built cinema in the country and is a Grade II listed building. Much of the grandeur of the old cinema has been retained and it is a popular place to sit with a coffee and a book. I had a coffee, my wife had a camomile tea and we both had delicious cakes.
