Gower Wildflower Centre in Swansea

Came for breakfast and ordered scrambled eggs. Came to £8 which seems excessive for what was delivered. Normally that would be with salmon or perhaps full English

We’ve been regular visitors to Wildflower Café, and the food is consistently good. The staff are always friendly, and the service is excellent. However, since the recent kitchen renovation and subsequent price increases, we find ourselves visiting less often. That said, we still enjoy it every time we come.

This was a good environment and not too busy when we first arrived for our lunch… Staff were busy and were serving well but not very friendly or engaging with their customers! The main issue I had was with one of the young waiters as she brought our food to the table I noticed the jacket potato had a burn skin and mentioned it to her, she replied I don’t think so! At the end of our meal she came to clear our table and I pointed out to her the burnt skin all around the edges that I had left ( which I would normally eat but couldn’t) . She didn’t apologise or say anything to satisfy my complaint… So a very poor response to my complaint!

We were introduced to this place by friends who thought it would be a good place to meet on Good Friday for Brunch. We were impressed and enjoyed eating, chatting and looking at all the great plants on display. Will certainly return. Wyn and Angharad

Usually this cafe is good, today it wasn’t! Have they changed owners/chef because food and service was rough! My partner ordered sour bread open sandwich, chicken tikka with some inedible stuff on it! £9.95 for one slice of bread! Come on. My jacket potato was Luke warm, the tuna had lumps in it where it hadn’t been mixed properly. The napkin only had a fork in it, no knife! Oh yes the waitress said we haven’t had time to put knives in 🙄 Very, very disappointing

The Wildflower Garden Centre is a wonderful garden centre. It is situated just beyond Killay in the Blackhills, Gower, not far from Swansea airport. They have an excellent and well stocked range of trees, shrubs and flowering plants as well as a massive range of pots and other gardening accessories. In the grounds is a spacious, modern cafeteria with a delightful decked area outside. The cafe serves breakfasts, salads, sandwiches, panini and includes veggie options and a children’s menu. Also, there are beautiful lodges which can be rented as holiday accommodation.

This is a lovely destination cafe with nice food & added bonus of a little garden centre set out in a rural spot . I would definitely recommend a visit on a sunny afternoon & they have a fire pit outside for colder days

A party of ten that we booked a week before.. Tim looked after us brilliantly,keeping us all supplied with excellent tea and coffees while our food order was being prepared… A mixed order of food including some with special dietary needs was prepared without fuss…. Food is of a high standard,tasty and well presented as with all of their menu… All the staff really make an extra effort to keep visitors happy…. Clean,hygenic,with a lovely welcome. A 5 Star review is what The Wildflower Cafe deserves…..congrats

I have visited here many times and the food is delicious. Jacket with tuna is really lovely. Scone jam and cream was amazing and could of fed two!!! All cakes are good as is tea cake, paninis and coffee too. The cooked breakfast looked really good but not tried that yet. Make sure you go especially in the summer as sitting outside is delightful. ( one tiny thing: it was getting a little too much with the cooking , my eyes were stinging s little. I think you just need a stronger extractor fan ) Love it here …….,,,

A delightful spot in a perfect location. Beautiful selection of plants, and all sorts of interesting garden themed items. A perfect place for breakfast, lunch and that afternoon cuppa. I visited with a friend and we had lunch, chosen from an extensive menu. It was delicious. Fortunately close to home so likely to become a much visited favourite for me.

Visited Wildflower on two occasions this weekend.The earlier opening hours compared to the previous owners are much more user friendly.Plenty of seating outside in the shade.Fast efficient friendly service..delicious coffee and well presented tasty food.Prices reasonable...menu looked delicious with options for all and cakes looked mouth watering.Staff both competent and cheerful Place deserves to do well. Garden centre very well stocked and some play equipment to entertain children Well worth a visit will come back again.Well signposted from main road over the common.

We were staying in the Gower Country Cottage nearby and visited several times for coffee and meals. This is a hidden gem. Quality food and first class service.

Our first visit today and we were not disappointed. From previous photos it looks like it’s been refurbed and to a very high standard. The inside is lovely, so clean and fresh looking and very spacious. The food was lovely and served to us very quickly. The price I would say is about average for a cafe but the quality was very high. The weather wasn’t great when we visited today but looking forward to visiting again when the sun is out as there are plenty of outdoor seating, a small play area and a lovely little garden centre attached. The staff were also very friendly. We will definitely be returning again soon.

What a lovely experience, I returned just 2 days later, exceptional service, Beautiful little Gem of a place, food was delicious, caters for vegetarians, vegans, celiac, nothing is to much trouble, the place is clean, well maintained and decorated to a high standard. Food was very quickly brought to our table, dog friendly. Stunning place for breakfast lunch, dinner and everything in between x

We have been staying in Swansea recently and have been out for many cooked breakfasts. We haven't really had a bad one to be honest but the breakfast at Wildflower Cafe in Fairwood was by far the best. The setting is lovely and service was prompt and efficient. The food was beautifully presented, hot and tasty. Coffee was lush and tea come in a pot not a mug. Will definitely be back next time we're in Swansea

Visited further to a recommendation and so glad we did! Fab lunch - delicious food - great menu - I’ve already picked what I WILL be having next time we visit ! Service was quick abs staff super friendly - Cafe has Great interior, furniture and lighting - basically a great setting whilst the garden centre has plentiful pots and beautiful plants - picked up a couple for this summer season! Will definitely be returning and if you haven’t. Already been defo worth a visit x

Went to cafe for first time. Hugely impressed. Lovely and clean, good selection on menu and friendly staff. The food and coffee was fantastic. Cafe was ‘cyclist’ friendly- racks outside for the bikes and staff welcoming. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Last time I wrote a review the cafe had been closed for a while. I’m glad to report that it is now open and better than ever. Great for lunch or just a coffee (and cake!)

Went for lunch with friends and what an absolutely lovely time we had. The staff, young boys and Bethan were so welcoming.

This was our first visit since the latest change of ownership. The cafe has undergone a stylish makeover (we even asked where they'd got their furniture from!). We each had a cappuccino and a bacon and egg roll and both were exemplary. It's not the cheapest cafe but we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. With the garden centre and the holiday lodges this looks to be a happening little corner of Gower.. N.B. Dogs aren't permitted inside the cafe though there are plans to expand the outdoor seating area.

Went with our family for a coffee but ended up having brunch, good service , good food with very helpful staff , a garden centre as well with more pots than I have ever seen. All in all well worth a visit.

* We were very disappointed with our meals. * Specials- Salmon and dill fish cake - very bland, and couldn’t taste the dill. Plenty of potato in it. * the tuna and Mayo sandwich could have done with filling to the edge of the bread....

Drove out to this cafe after hearing good things about it. Both food and drinks were lovely and the staff were very helpful. We would definitely visit again

What’s the point of having a website which yes we are open to drive all the way out to find it’s nothing of the sort, waste of space

I have been a regular customer at this café since Greg first opened it. I have stuck with its ups and downs under differing management. Today I am irritated. I googled the café to check the opening hours etc during the current situation. As there...

Unfortunately the Wildflower has gone downhill recently, we have visited a number of times in the past and decided to pay a visit today. We found there wasn't as much choice on the menu as on previous visits however opted for the 'Gower Beef Cheeseburger' x2 and a sausage baguette. The burgers arrived ..,small burgers and large rolls and can only be described as what you'd expect from a burger van, the sausage baguette did not arrive. When I asked how long it was going to be it transpired it had been forgotten, I was advised it was a mistake and a refund was offered, as an alternative to providing the meal. Not an option for us as I could not have eaten with my daughter not having anything, which should have been clear to the staff. The baguette arrived 10 minutes later without an apology...my daughter had just taken her last bite when the plates were promptly cleared! I understand that errors can happen, however when they do it is important to offer a genuine apology rather than simply state it was a mistake. I think the Wildflower staff and management would benefit from a customer services course or two! We certainly won't be returning!

Had a cooked breakfast today - fantastic food - tasty and cooked to perfection. The staff and ambience of the cafe is excellent. I would recommend the Wildflower to everyone.

A nice and quiet hidden location on a Sunday afternoon was ideal. Pot holes in the car park and sheep which our little girl adored. Service very good. Lemon drizzle cake to die for. All in all a pleasant experience.

This used to be a must visit cafe when we had visitors. It’s some time since we have been to the Gower, and we were looking forward to a brunch here.

For years my friends in Swansea had been telling us about the Wildflower Cafe, but it's only in the past year that we finally got around to visiting. And we've been back many times since. In fact, it's become our first choice cafe when we've got visitors who'd like to eat out.

Although we visited this place several times we were not disappointed with our find The Home made soup is fantastic and the coffee and cake just right Haven’t been there for a while but. Must visit again soon You will not be disappointed

Amazing home made cake. Biggest slab of came u will ever be served in a cafe! Lovely atmosphere! Plan on spending a lot if time here!!

Visited here with friends for an afternoon catch-up, so glad we did! The coffee shop is light and airy with plenty of space and quirky decoration.

A bit difficult to find initially but well worth it. A small nursery (plants), outdoor eating areas and various shapes and sizes of tables and chairs inside.

Only ever really had coffee and cake here meeting up with family or friends, nice location and free parking

Been here for lunch before (which was delicious, definitely try the salmon and brie tart) but a friend recommended the breakfast and I was not disappointed. Decent portions, thick bacon and the sausages were amazing. Will definitely return!

Fantastic cafe, great food, friendly staff, lively spot in the middle of nowhere. It's one of my favourite treats to drop in for food or just a coffee.

Visited one lunch time with family. Varied menu and good selection for children. I was delighted to know that nearly all the food had a gluten free option. I had the club sandwich - the only thing I've had using GF bread that was delicious - generous filling with a salad and coleslaw accompaniment . My daughters had the burgers, one vegetarian, and we're very pleased with their meals. We ordered a child's pasta and it was big enough for two! Their bowls were cleared! The only reason I haven't given the place 5 stars is the unhurried service! It was slow but the food was worth the wait. As always, pop along and judge for yourself. I'll certainly be returning. One thing though for the owners - why is there no sign for the cafe off Fairwood Road?

Excellent home cooked food to be had here! Can be a bit noisy as very popular with families and small children but worth the visit and worth the delicious food! You can also purchase some arty things inside and plants outside!

Really fab restaurant, light and airy with sweet decor. Food was really good. Extensive menu that we couldn't fault. Lots of choice for cakes that were delicious and freshly made.

Service is always top notch here. Food is delicious. Cakes are gorgeous. Toys for children to play with, very family friendly. We've visited every 3 months (approx) for the pat 3 years and never been disappointed.

Very warm atmosphere complemented by friendly attentive staff. The meal we had, cranberry and Brie baguette, accompanied by a fresh crisp salad and salad potatoes, couldn't fault it and the price was very reasonable.I am particular about coffee and was not disappointed!Overall an experience I would highly recommend.

We love the Wildflower Cafe. The staff are extremely good and the surroundings are lovely. We usually go for a drink and lunch / snack and the food is always very good with an extensive specials board. I'd highly recommend to anyone else, but 2 things to note:- if you don't like kids make sure you go on a school day. It's very popular with parents as there is a lot of room so there are often many kids about.- there aren't any chips etc. On the menu - think more sandwiches / burgers / breakfasts that sort of thing.

What a great place to eat out at. A warm welcome on arrival, the wonderful aroma of good food. The staff were friendly, efficient but relaxed and the food - which arrived promptly, was absolutely delicious. The salad was the tastiest I've eaten in a long time, the homemade coleslaw was excellent and the Feta tart was wonderful. The desserts were delicious too. Overall, the cleanliness, the ambience, the staff, the ease of parking, the food - totally worth a visit!!Can't recommend it enough.

Visited here with my 3 children to meet some friends. What a lovely little place! The staff are friendly and very helpful and the place itself is clean and beautifully presented. The children loved the craft workshop - they had their food (home cooked ham sandwiches with lots of lovely little extras on the plate!!) and then they disappeared round the corner to make some fantastic crafts! What a wonderful way to keep the kids entertained whilst you can take in the gorgeous scenery and enjoy the fantastic food. I ordered the Christmas baguette, which was truly delectable! The homemade coleslaw was lovely and the cakes that followed were amazing!!!! Honestly, I haven't had such quality food in a long time! The atmosphere is lovely and I will definitely be returning soon!!! Well worth a visit!!

Have been here a number of times with the previous two tenants. First visit under new management. Layout much better and got a new homely feel. A warm welcome on arrival and order taken promptly. We were a part of four - two vegetarians & two carnivores. The feta tarts looked (& I believe were) tasty, as was my seasonal turkey burger & my partners meat balls. Helpings were generous and accompanied by delicious side salads. All came up quickly. Two of us also had desserts which were also scrummy. A very enjoyable & positive experience. We are lucky to love locally so will be back again soon!

Arrived at 10.40am had to ask twice to be served, didn't get the tea until after 25mins, order arrived after 55mins tea now stone cold, no apology! one wrong breakfast! the food:- bacon far too thick... not bacon! baked beans too runny sloshing around the plate. an incredible 6 staff catering for just 30 customers with some empty tables. Food hygiene:- there was a young boy of about 6 years old playing in the garden with chickens hutch then running behind the counter into the kitchen area several times, safety?? also one long haired waitress was in the kitchen flipping her hair forward then back like a timotay advert to tie it up... I mean come on! I would advise they get just 1 professional behind the counter and 1 taking orders instead of untrained, uninterested people having a go!

Have enjoyed two trips to the Wildflower cafe this past month and both times left stuffed and impressed. The ladies there are lovely and I've found the portions to be generous. The cakes are amazing (my fav is the lemon mascarpone) If you like sausage rolls, you must try the posh sausage roll! The sides are also delicious (and are proper sides...as an American I've never understood calling lettuce on a plate "salad"). Although off the beaten track, a visit to this beautiful cafe is well worth your time.

The food is homemade and delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient and the place itself is light and bright and very pleasant. I highly recommend this place as somewhere for breakfast or lunch or just for a cup of tea and a slice of one of their delicious cake. Recently under new management the cafe has improved greatly and the food that was alway good is now excellent.

We arrived at 1320 for lunch, and were served our food 50 minutes later. We had asked for soup and a sweet potato and chick pea curry - both of which I would assume would have been made well in advance and only needed heating up? The "sweet potato and chick pea curry consisted of one small square of sweet potato and the rest was chickpeas, albeit in a very nice tasting sauce. Nobody came over to ask how our food was! I saw lots of people waiting - it was busy there but they seemed to have lots of staff on but the service was appalling. If I go anywhere and have to wait more than half an hour for food, I at least expect to be offered a courtesy drink and an apology. Shame because I really like the venue, but a 50 minute wait for very average food is not acceptable.

Took my youngest daughter and elderly father for a coffee and cake during Halfterm. The place seemed slightly different from my previous visit and I was told it had just been acquired by a new owner. Pretty vintage style crockery and table accessories and it was very sunny with a lovely outlook over the gardens with the fluffy hens clucking around the doorway. There is now table service but this did take a very long time despite there not being very many in the cafe. We ordered two lattes, a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, a brownie, toasted tea cake and a slice of coffee cake. After ordering it took an age for our drinks and cakes to arrive. I was almost giving up hope! I don't understand why it took so long as it was only drinks and toasting a tea cake! The drinks were fine although I think the hot chocolate could have been larger for the price. The toasted tea cake was average, my daughter said the brownie was very rich and couldn't finish it which is unprecedented for her as she can usually eat lots of very sweet things with no problem! My coffee cake was lovely, soft, moist and tasting of coffee. The bill was £17 which I thought was rather expensive for what we had. Nearly £6 each for quite a small hot drink and cake. Originally the till showed £43 though which was clearly a mistake! However the experience was quite good overall as the setting was lovely and my father enjoyed his trip out. He is 89 so enjoys a change of scene. Please make the service quicker though!

Called there today after a long stroll with friends. The setting is so peaceful , tucked down Blackhills lane. There is a large board with daily options but the huge homemade cakes were tremendous. I enjoyed a very tall Victoria sponge, bursting with jam and fresh cream along with a great latte. Friends also enjoyed the cherry cake and toasted tea cakes.The children corner had smaller chairs, toys and games, it was "help yourself to drinking water" and as the sun was shining there were quite a few customers sitting outside in the late Autumn sunshine. A trio of large fluffy chickens were wandering around to the delight of some toddlers.The service was prompt and friendly, and the lunches also looked delicious. The décor was country shabby chic and the whole place was enchanting.They have a vast selection of plants for sale and can give advice on these.Although tucked away down the lane, it is only minutes from one of the main routes into Gower, near the airport at Fairwood.Fabulous

Always a favourite for coffee and/or lunch when in Swansea. Friendly staff, great coffee and food and a pleasant atmosphere. Off the beaten track but popular with locals and tourists. Often buy a plant whilst there for the garden as they are always healthy and well cared for. Calling it the wildflower centre isn't the most appropriate these days but it doesn't stop us going there

Very disappointed with our recent visit here for a breakfast. Staff were very rude. Had to wait for 2 waitresses to finish their conversation before I was even acknowledged. Unfortunately, I do not care how many pairs of contact lenses she was packing to take on holiday. Then when finally served, the waitress didn't make any conversation, when asked if they brought the orange juice to the table with the pot of tea, she just pointed to the fridge. How charming! Food was nice, but after receiving that level of service you tend to forget about the food. Really wouldn't bother with this place! 

Twinned with The Bay Bistro, Rhossili. What a little gem, a little place like home and the food, especially the cakes are to die for

The visitor's book in our rented holiday cottage recommended this cafe and it was not wrong! Just a shame that we only got to visit it once as we headed there on our last day but we would definitely return next time we are in the area. We went for breakfast - a delicious bacon ciabatta and the best scrambled eggs ever eaten. The chef was only too delighted to explain how he had made such a simple dish so special. The cafe is in a really interesting building with lots of light.NB When you turn into Blackhills Lane - keep going - its a good way down.

Well prepared healthy eating. Interesting menu, large portions ... but all the plates were cleared! mm mmmm!

Always lovely to go to a cafe that doesn't scrimp on portion sizes and provides an interesting menu , not extensive but really good quality , and the cakes are amazing especially the Victoria sandwich . The beef burger is amazing quality and the sandwiches are filled to the max , fab experience again .

Whenever I'm in Swansea I try and visit, their full breakfast is a treat. They have changed the breakfast a bit but it's still yummy and great value.

Catered for a family of 4 very nicely, even though they were extremely busy! Very nice local produce, and lovely rural views to take in too.

Visited here twice whilst on a wet week's holiday on the Gower. We had cake and coffee which was delicious although the breakfasts being served at the time looked very tempting too. The cake was so good we had to visit a second time to try a different one! I had the strawberry and Pimms sponge cake and the salted caramel cheesecake - both highly recommended. My mum was equally impressed with her coffee & walnut cake and carrot cake. Big outdoor seating area if you're lucky enough for it to be dry with chickens wandering about. Nice plants for sale too.

The name is misleading. No wildflowers, no information on wildflowers, tatty nursery and a rude salesperson who suggested we spend money in the cafe after offering us a packet of wildflower seeds.

Love the toys available for kids, great food. Wouldn't eat there again though because the four meals ordered came at vastly different times. More or less ended up eating one at a time..not really the point of lunching together. Also found one of the waitresses rude. Such a shame. Also, the prices have shot up since opening.

Used to eat here often when it first opened a few years ago, and enjoyed many good meals. Unfortunately the chef changed and so did the quality of the food. So happy to say that another new chef was appointed last autumn and it's back to being a lovely place to go for a well cooked, reasonably priced hearty meal. All served in a friendly relaxed atmosphere and beautiful tranquil surroundings. I can highly recommend the homemade burger with sweet potato fries, one of the best i've had. My partner had the risotto which was also very tasty and well cooked. Very happy to have this back on our 'places to go for a meal' list, and looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!

We came here on the last morning of our holiday. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. We had a full breakfast and scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and toast. All tasty stuff at good value, the highlight being the scrambled eggs - I don't think I've had better in a cafe. Took out a couple of slices of cake which were also very good.

This has to be my favourite cafe.The food there is all home made and absolutely delicious.It is spacious and a fab place to take children with toys books and plenty of room to run around outside.You won't be disappointed!

I would highly recommend going for lunch/breakfast here. The veggie breakfast is stunning! They also do lovely home made fresh soups which are packed with flavour. Very child friendly with space for kids to play along with yummy fresh options for their lunches. The staff are relaxed and friendly and the chef really cares about what he is doing and that you enjoy your meal....will be going again soon!

Came here for the first time, on my daughter's recommendation, with family. We all enjoyed our food and visit. It is very child friendly and the staff helpful. Lots to look at outside in the garden centre. Will return another day.

I've eaten here many times over the past 18 months and have never been disappointed. I pay more than I usually would but it's well worth it. I will continue to enjoy and recommend to others!

Been here many times and food and environment are excellent.Situated in a quiet corner of Gower the little extras make this place special.There is an associated Garden Centre and a bird feeding station,and a nice outdoor area for sunny days.There is fruit and veg available for sale,plus local produce and crafts.Children will find much to interest them as well!

I came here last week for the first time on the recommendation of our daughter. We had family visiting from Eastbourne and we came for a light lunch. We all enjoyed the food very much - it was very tasty and the people serving were friendly and helpful. It is also child friendly with a corner with toys to keep them occupied. Must visit again.

Hidden away somewhere by Swansea airport (no idea how I got here) is this hidden gem! From the chalkboard menu, I chose Cy's club sarnie, while my brother went for the full English. Service was friendly and as we waited we were enjoying the surrounding gardens - where I spotted the cutest chickens wandering around! I believe the chef sources everything locally ... which is brilliant! Our food came out fresh, our plates were full - I could not wait to tuck in! Both our meals did not disappoint - superb cooking by Cynan, the chef, he really does put love into these dishes! On offer as well was freshly made cakes which I so wish I had room for! This is a hidden gem that I highly recommend you find!

We've been here a few times now, at different times of year, and have never been disappointed. Today, we went for a family breakfast (5 of us). Four had 'full English' (or Welsh) and one had a bacon butty - all excellent. Some of us had tea (served in vintage china, with individual teapots and milk jugs), others coffee (excellent!) or milkshakes. All food is cooked from fresh, but we didn't have an unduly long wait. Staff are very friendly and efficient. The building is a modern wooden and glass structure, so very light and airy. Big scrubbed tables and a lovely view of the chickens scratching about in the garden area. In better weather, you can sit outside and it's just heavenly. There are also plant sales, with a small nursery by the entrance - I've bought in the past and been pleased. And inside the café is a small shop area, with Welsh blankets (very reasonably priced compared with other shops), bird houses and feeders, shopping bags, umbrellas (you need one in west Wales), crockery, toys, etc. Although we went for breakfast this time, there is a very good lunch menu. This café prides itself on using local produce and offers a very good selection of meals, including veggie options. Highly recommended.

My grandmother lives very close to the café so it's a frequent haunt for us, usually just for coffee and cake with friends and scrambled eggs for my baby cousin. The food is nothing particularly exciting but is always fresh and locally sourced, and the location brings us back every time. The service is pleasant, exactly what you would expect of a café. Perfectly suitable for kids with a corner of toys and books.Only major grumble with the place is its online presence. Considering the café is closed sporadically during the winter, it would be very helpful to have some kind of schedule on the website - which is nothing more than a blank webpage with advertising. It's a let down, because we've chosen simply not to try to go on any given day since it's uncertain whether it'll be open. It's the 21st century, Wildflower!

Thank heavens for such a tranquil spot: GWC is a charming cafe offering excellent home cooked food and cakes. The soups, a favourite of mine on cold grey days, change regularly and I've delighted in the flavours: spicy parsnip, creamy leek and potato or traditional Cawl, all are delicious. The emphasis is on locally produced ingredients freshly prepared. ** Arrive early for lunch as often it is full by 12.30 **The free Wifi is a bonus for people who have to stay connected to the web for work reasons.I am never disappointed with the Menu and I consider myself to be a difficult customer to please because I need a gluten and dairy free meal. Highly recommended for parents with young children, it accommodates young palates, and offers healthy eating NOT fast food crap. There's also a small play corner which is easy for parents to supervise while eating a meal.All-in-all Gower is definitely richer for having GWC and I believe they will also take larger group events if plenty of notice is given in advance of the booking.

My partner and I were looking for a nature reserve today which we could not find. It would have helped if I had brought the directions with me. Fed up, we decided to visit the Gower Wildflower Café for a cuppa before we headed back home. Although I have always lived in Swansea I have never gone down the lane where the café is. We were really surprised. The car park was full and the café is a lovely looking eco-type building with loads of tables and chairs outside. It was really busy and the car park was full. We only ordered a tea and coffee. The tea was served in a mini vintage style teapot and came with a china cup and saucer. There is a little gift shop and outside a small plant nursery. Luckily the booklet with the article on the nature reserve was on display and having found the directions we went on our way to Gelli Hir Wood. Promising ourselves to pop back, maybe in the spring when the nursery is blooming.

The place looked tired and sad. the food was savoury food was tasty and well presented. Staff seemed lost and not in charge,good plants outside, but the rest looked neglected, place could do with a bit of TLC.

We always used to come to the wildflower cafe, nice and quiet, perfect for the kids to play without feeling other diners were getting annoyed by the presence of children enjoying their surroundings! Theres a little toy corner and chickens wandering outside. Bird tables enticing the wildlife with bird watching posters adorning the walls. It's a great place to come for a informal cuppa and cake or a light lunch. There is a small gift shop inside and they also sell plants outside. Do not expect a full on garden centre, as that it's not, but it's a little gem of a cafe where you would least expect it.Its off the beaten track so not as hectic as other local cafes, although the new signage seems to be working and has been busy throughout the summer months and have had to share a table on occasion. We did have a small hiccup a few months back when the trusty chefs and waiting staff, who were friendly and helpful, left and a temporary cook was appointed. We overheard a conversation between staff relating to health issues ( a conversation which shouldn't have been had in front of the customers); which put us off that particular chef, but all is right with the world again as the staff seem to be back to normal! A great menu, offering light bites, specials and a great kids menu.

Always try to come here when I'm visiting Swansea and the breakfast fry-up is fantastic. I understand people expecting more on the flower front given the title but it's really just a cafe with a few flowers. Personally I love the food and eclectic charm of chairs and tables that don't match but clearly not to the tastes of some reviewers. The breakfast takes a while to prepare - it's all fresh - but I've always found the staff pleasant.

The whole place looks as if it could do with refurbishing. Nursery area overgrown with weeds. The staff at the cafe were not helpful at all, everything seemed like to much trouble for them. Not a place I will be visiting again.

Very dissapointing. It was very tired looking and nothing to see. Some of the outside sinage was so faded you couldn't read it. We were looking forward to walking round the wild flower gardens, but there weren't any so we had a coffee and left.

i had the welsh beef burger with sweet potato fries, my Mum had the lemon chicken club sandwich and my Dad the pulled pork burger. All 3 meals were served promptly, lovely presentation, huge portions and more importantly were delicious. I simply couldn't fault the experience. We'll be returning as soon as possible.

A lovely place to stop for afternoon tea, the cakes are amazing. The small garden centre makes a perfect setting for sitting outside watching the birds on the feeder. My only concern is that I am always tempted to come away with yet another plant for the garden when I visit.

Went here with my daughter and grandson (actually on Fathers' Day), and arrived just before 2.00 pm - not too crowded by then, and still almost everything on menu available. Plenty of places to sit, outside in the sun or shade, or indoors. Good, fast service with a smile and sensible prices. My feta and spinach quiche was delicious, with a well baked crust - no soggy bottom! And we all had sweet potato chips - lovely. Beautiful meadow to walk around afterwards, and flowers/herbs/shrubs to buy as well as a small gift shop. Lovely afternoon.

We recently visited for my grandmothers birthday. We enjoyed a beautiful breakfast and my daughter enjoyed a child's selection/picnic. The cafe, which is lovely and clean, included a children's corner that they can rattle about in- lovely touch!

Visited here today. Beautiful weather (which usually helps), a lovely setting with lots of flowers around, including many you can purchase for the garden. The food was tasty and nicely prepared and presented. The chickens kept our grandson entertained for a while. Well worth a visit for lunch.
