Rag & Bone in Swansea

Absolutely shocking prices and food! for a breakfast roll with 1 smashed up egg and half a sausage price £7!!! I waited 20min for food that looked like s#!t scooped up off the floor and squashed into more s#! I will not be going there every again and I will recommend to everyone I know how awful the food and service is there. I would of sed something at the time however, I’m glad I didn’t as I would not have been able to control my language at the slop I was served.

Always amazing food and coffee! Love coming here on a weekend for breakfast. Staff are always very friendly. Immaculately clean.

Really nicely decorate inside and loved the theme. Lovely iced mocha coffee in cute jam jars. Also looks like a lovely menu.

Visited on sunny Friday afternoon for spot of lunch. Fabulous food and very friendly service. Not the usual cafe, Rag & Bone have simply food made very well. Was unsure if they sold beers or wines however they do have cans of IPA’s. Can’t wait to visit again.

Such a shame that while many cafes and restaurants embrace allowing dogs into their premises, this does not, only guide dogs. Also noted chips in saucers and milk jugs.

Came here based on previous reviews. The cafe is really cool and edgy. The breakfasts we had were lovely, just wish they had more vegan options.

If you want to visit a place which does good coffee, every time, go here. If you want food to add, especially breakfast, brunch type, go here! Lovely little place with really friendly staff run by the owners you'll never go wrong ordering from here. Sat in for food with and without the kids and always easy. They use common sense and will get the kids food out first if they're young which is great as parents as you keep the antics to a minimum. Highly recommended!

Stumbled upon this place with my daughter and granddaughter. We both had toasties which were so tasty. Lovely sourdough bread. Washed down with quality coffee. We all thoroughly enjoyed. Very accommodating for children too. My granddaughter had egg on toast with babyccinno. She loved it. We will definitely be returning soon!

Had lovely brioche rolls and pastries for lunch. Me and my son. Lovely food and coffee and the most amazing friendly and happy bunch of staff going. Always. 👌🏻

This is one of our favourite local places for breakfast. We've come here for coffee and lunch too. The menu is short but good and we always enjoy the food. Oh and the coffee is excellent too.

Sometimes difficult to find a seat or a parking space; this place has become deservedly popular! The menu is pretty egg and avocado heavy which is fine if that’s what you are into. The coffee is very good. The service is excellent and extremely friendly and helpful. The decor is what I believe is called ‘industrial’ and seems to work. It attracts a varied bunch, mostly above average in terms of friendliness. Great to see a local business working hard, with imagination and reaping the rewards.

Great for brunch - I really enjoyed my sourdough toast, avocado, bacon and a fried egg. Unbeatable BUT my companion who doesn’t eat either eggs or avocado was a bit stuck. He had the bacon roll which was excellent but wanted something else. Delicious but maybe they should extend the menu a bit. Something involving

Been looking forward to visiting this cafe for a while now as their insta is so alluring I had to come and see what the fuss was all about.... I put solo when asked what demographic at the beginning of this post mainly because I went here with my 6 year old son who I just had a feeling wouldn’t like what’s on the menu so I fed him at home first! I was right to do so.... not all kids like smashed avo on crispy sourdough toast or the like so if you have a “normal kid” (what ever that is 😏) maybe re-think who you come here with, if you love a decent coffee and I do mean decent I am exceptionally fussy about buying coffee out, this is the place to go, cappuccino was so good in fact I had two over breakfast which is not unheard of from me but is uncommon! I also ordered the crumpet stack which was literally a few crumpets with a heck load of avocado, bacon and a poached egg (done to perfection I might add!) my son had a brownie. It was a lovely birthday treat to myself as the staff were really friendly especially the young woman on the till! Who ever made the lemon and raspberry cake, that was absolutely delicious 😋, I am glad i came

Rag and Bone, without doubt, serves the best poached eggs in Swansea! The menu is fun, creative and varied and the food always delicious . I’ve eaten here a lot and the food has always been 10/10. As well as breakfast, brunch and lunch they also do fab cakes and an excellent cup of coffee. My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves visiting too - her favourite being a sausage sandwich washed down with a Capri sun! Service, again, always excellent, a warm welcome and the team will make any alterations or upgrades to your order, if you request. Highly recommended to all. They can get very busy at times but that’s a testament to how great they are... I think the reviews speak for themselves! If you haven’t tried it yet...Get down there!

This is a local walk in eatery at the top of West Cross that is both popular with tourists and locals. It is always well attended at all times of the day as the food is fresh and locally sourced. The trouble maybe getting in. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed..( as long as you can get it that is)..

Visited for Saturday lunch/brunch. Very friendly atmosphere. Excellent variety of interesting food. We had eggs benedict, avocado on toast with cheese and an egg/bacon roll. Presentation was superb and taste was delightful. We will be back.

Brilliant service, brilliant breakie and brilliant coffee. Cannot go wrong, service is always spot on. Specials menu is always a good shout!

This place is a credit to the owners and staff. They have managed to get everything right. Plenty of great places in Swansea but this establishment is pure quality.1) Food - fantastic selection, very tasty and good quality (bacon is beautiful), homemade selection of cakes.2) Drinks - coffee is beautiful, have all the soft drinks you want plus an eclectic selection of other soft drinks that you would not normally see.3) Ambience - casual, comfortable seating. Selection of high style seating, comfy couch style and normal seats.4) Service - faultless and friendly. My partner is a coeliac - ensuring she had gluten free meal was no hassle and her food (she reports) was beautiful. We asked for drinks and cake to take away and this was no hassle at all.5) Even the bathrooms were spotless clean!!Congrats - what a place. This is our new regular brunch venue!!

Come here from time to time with my daughter for breakfast. Always have the eggs benedict with salmon and they are the best I’ve had anywhere. No seasoning required as they are just perfect.

Service ace, food ace, staff ace, location ace! Why wouldn’t you want to call here is the question! Faultless in every way and I can’t wait to get back here! Diolch chaps

Came on a Saturday morning. The place was packed with happy customers. A table quickly became available and we ordered our breakfast. I had avo on toast with poached eggs. It was served with feta, chilli and a balsamic glaze and was delicious. My friend had a club sandwich which was filled with chicken, bacon.We love coming to Rag and Bone. We do not live locally but come each time we are in the area. Service is always great and we like the modern decor. It’s refreshing to have an independent cafe which prides itself in quality ingredients

I live in Leeds but regularly visit chums in Westcross and go for breakfast there. Absolutely delicious food and charming young people. I highly recommend this place which is an unexpected gem of industrial chic in a suburban setting.

An excellent selection of snacks with unusual twists! Freshest eggs I’ve ever eaten and the bread is yum.

I will drive out of my way to go to this cafe, all the products they use are locally sourced, the food is delicious and presented to a very high standard, the atmosphere is relaxing and friendly , highly recommend for brunch and coffee

Delicious brunch and super friendly staff. We had brioche with advocado, bacon, sausage pattie, cheese and egg, which was amazing with saratcha! We also had a pain perdu - brioche soaked in custard served with Nutella , raspberries and Joe’s ice cream. A work of art, we almost felt guilty eating it! coffee was fantastic . Best brunch ever!

I managed to visit this place successfully after trying a number of times to find it closed (and it’s difficult to find opening times). It has a nice lively atmosphere. Service was a little slower than would be expected, especially for coffee. The menu has some unusual options; I ordered a bacon, egg and sausage brioche, which also had avocado and cheese. I wasn’t disappointed with my food and I was very impressed with the coffee. I will return if I can hopefully find this venue open when passing again.

Independent places like this should be celebrated and supported for their commitment to sustainability, contribution to the community, fantastic service and outstanding food. A hidden gem and must see for locals and tourists alike!

My sister and myself enjoyed a delicious panini, which had thick home cooked ham. The panini was accompanied by a small side salad with a delicious dressing and the nicest crisps I’ve had for a long time. We followed this up with a slice of Bakewell tart, which was also good. Personally I found the restaurant rather cold and I didn’t like the decor. However, the staff were friendly and good food.

Visited the Rag & Bone on a wet Friday lunch time. It’s quirky exterior was lovely, very funky atmosphere. My eldest decided on the Halloumi Brioche and my middle daughter and myself had the Sunnyside Up. They were all delicious!! Excellent & friendly service. If you have a chance try The Topshelf cake - YUMMMMY.

Had a lovely breakfast, bey nice to have a artisan type coffee shop in the area. My breakfast was top notch. Coffee is excellent you can go there for that alone

I’ve been really looking forward to popping here for brunch for a while, lovely reviews and the insta photos! Looked promising. I had an average flat white and a brioche bun with sausage patty, eggs, ‘cheese’ and avo. It was just plopped on the plate with no care - looked unappetising and all squashed together. The eggs were over cooked and rubbery and the bun soggy. My OH had the sunny side up egg, bacon and sourdough. Although his egg was hard too he enjoyed. I won’t be back in a hurry.

On my doorstep so a regular visitor; always excellent quality of food and drinks and great service. Would like to see more offerings of vegetarian food but in comparison to other local cafes already a winner!

Absolutely fantastic, not much more I can say! Live locally and normally head to Mumbles for breakfast! Ambience and service is very good, food was excellent and more than reasonably priced for quality and quantity. Highly recommend

This is on my doorstep so I have always just walked past but today I was meeting a friend and we just popped in so we could sit and have a natter. Excellent coffee. My friend who is not a big coffee drinker asked for more hot milk which was bought speedily at no extra charge. We each had a toasted tea cake which was lovely but next time I will definitely order something from the menu as I had definite food envy from watching the other customers orders being delivered. How great to have this place so close.

Found this on TripAdvisor when looking for a good breakfast place close to our AirBnB house on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Went with our 2 young daughters on the Sat morning and it was a good job we got in around 8.45am as by about 9am it was full (had called in advance but was told they don't usually take bookings and we shouldn't have to wait long). Good selection of different hot breakfast/brunch options, variety of drinks (dairy free milks available) and a tempting display of homemade-looking cakes and tray bakes. The amazing doughnuts next to the till were too much for our girls to resist so they ended up having one for 'dessert' after the fantastic Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon (our 7yr old told them it should be called Eggs Royale!) and perfect scrambled eggs on toast (high praise indeed from our fussy 9yr old). My husband thought he'd died and gone to heaven when his order of the special arrived (a huge stacked bagel with melted Dutch cheese, pastrami, sauerkraut, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce), definitely an indulgent treat for our weekend away. They were also very happy to grant my request for gluten free toast with cheese, avocado and poached eggs which was delicious. Prices were very fair for the high quality of food, good portions and attractive presentation. Accompanied by the great coffee, it was a standout breakfast that we had hoped to repeat before returning home - we were all very disappointed when we found out they were shut on the Bank Holiday Monday!!

Called in after being recommended, lovely ambience and modern retro decor. Great menu with the best selection of ingredients avocado, halloumi and all the classic breakfast brunch favourites. Prices from £4.95-£7.95. Good coffees and cakes selection. Busy flow of customers but always a seat! Will definitely return.

Little gem of a place, always busy. Tasty menu something for everyone. Definatley the best coffee around!

A good place for a snack when collecting my daily paper.Cheerful friendly staff, in a simple setting

I've been coming to Rag & Bone for about 18 months now. Ever since I was introduced by a friend, its been a hopeless love affair for the food & coffee, as well as the friendly service and above all, incredible passion these lovely people have for their craft.Albeit a small and slightly cramped cafe, Rag & Bone offers a delightful menu, packed with variety and flavour. Avocado is a firm favourite but they'll happily take it off for you if you aren't too keen. Personally, I'd recommend the Brioche Stack or if you're looking for something a little more original and lighter, the Crumpet Stack.Its all about the coffee for me. I've been to most of the small pop-up and long-time serving coffee establishments in Swansea as well as Cardiff, but I can gladly say, the coffee served at Rag & Bone is without doubt, the best around. The barista delicately but expertly crafts every single cup, fresh to order. The attention to detail in the latte art makes for a winning Instagram post every time. I make a weekly trip to Rag & Bone which often stands out as the highlight of my week.

My wife had been and suggested it may be somewhere I would enjoy. Wow, what a fantastic place to enjoy excellent coffee and staggeringly well cooked and well presented food at reasonable prices. It is the kind of place you do not want to become too popular just to keep it the special place it is.

Breakfast on a Saturday morning ....this place is ideal if you’re wanting an early start with no problem parking as they open from 7am with lots of parking spots nearby.They offer Really delicious brioches filled with all manner of different things . Very tasty and very filling. For a lighter option try the granola with fruit and runny honey .... especially yum . Staff super friendly. There is a very clean and industrial professional feel about the place and we Loved it . Never ventured here before but will definitely return as the food is not only delicious but wholesome and packed with nutritional yumminess.

Gorgeous coffee, delicious breakfasts and fresh, tasty lunches. Relaxed, friendly vibe and a great addition to the West Cross community. Grab a sourdough loaf to take away...they are divine!

A great choice on the menu. The coffee is excellent and we enjoy the industrial decor too! Always a good welcome - we can recommend the breakfast brioche with the secret ingredient!

Came in for breakfast this morning on the way back from a holiday stay. I wish I could take this gem with me - it is amazing!! Not your regular cafe so don’t expect a full english but the food we had was all first class and well presented without being pretentious. My breakfast was sourdough with avocado, bacon and poached egg while my husband had brioche with egg, bacon, cheese and sausage. The kids were very happy with their bacon rolls and we also had excellent coffee. It is fairly small and gets busy but that’s just testament to how good it is.

Made welcome. Excellent range of food and cakes. Coffee was great. Friendly and efficient service. Loyalty card.

The minute you walk in you feel comfortable. Quirky decor and very attentive staff. Food is great with a good choice of alternative brunch choices. Whenever we have visitors this is the place we take them. Gotta give it a go

The team here always seem to come up with excellent specials. I tried The Garden Shed on a recent visit and it was amazing: Halloumi, asparagus, minted pea purée, pomegranate.....lovely fresh ingredients presented so well. The specials change regularly and I look forward to what they come up with next!

First time I’ve been and will definitely return. Worth every penny. Decent sausage patty and bacon. Service was fantastic, so friendly. Highly recommend. Thanks!

Had a great breakfast here today matched with a very good coffee! A unique well thought out venue nestled high up above mumbles, well worth seeking out! Keep up the hard work.

I loved this place. It looks great, the food is so tasty but what made it better the staff were all amazing. Very friendly, no question was too much, it was very busy when we visited but all the staff were working hard with a smile providing excellent service. When the food arrived it was superb and can’t wait to go back.

Visited the cafe the first time after hearing only good things about their coffee. Flat white was awesome and the staff super friendly. Got there a bit late for lunch but the chef still made us tasty plates of fresh food. Definitely will visit again.

Best Eggs Benedict around. This place never disappoints whatever I pick from the menu. Great atmosphere and excellent coffee. Loyalty card, WiFi and plenty of parking right outside are all bonuses too.

Hoisin pork belly was outstanding, pretty good coffee. Staff were friendly and checked in on us. Can’t really fault it!

Wow. What a great place. Not only is the decoration fabulous but the food and staff were ace.I had avocado on Toast With salmon and an egg and a coffee. It was well presented, tasty, good portion size, and well priced. A great place to hang out. The staff were very accomodating. The young man was charming who served us. As Arne said " I'll be back " with my loyalty card.

You will certainly not be disappointed leaving this amazing little cafe that’s tucked away at the top of West Cross, Swansea.You’ll receive top notch service and only top quality, local ingredients are used with their food. I’d highly recommend a visit.Well done guys

Best cafe in swansea - amazing food and coffee! really good staff, fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked.

Great menu with so much choice. Best coffee in Swansea. Really friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Massive fan of this place. I go there on a regular basis. The food is first class! The staff are really friendly and it’s very authentic. It’s a bit out of the way for me but it’s defiantly worth the drive

Great staff, friendly and welcoming We really enjoy visiting Rag & Bone. Great coffee, lovely food. Free wifi, really easier to park and lovely atmosphere :)

If you want something off the beaten track frequented by locals then try The Rag & Bone. 3 of us had delicious breakfasts & they paid great attention to my food intolerances. All the food was really tasty & staff so friendly & helpful

Came with friends for breakfast. Great selection of food on offer. We brought with us a very fussy vegan and the owner Jamie whipped up something delicious for him. Great coffee and reasonable prices. I’d strongly recommend.

Cleverly, a low key geographical situation and relatively small cafe with quality staff, food and presentation. .... and easy parking! Highly recommend. Off the beaten tourist track but worth the the short car trip from Swansea or Mumbles.

We visited R&B cafe this morning for breakfast. The cafe itself is fairly small and there isn’t a huge amount of space between the tables and seats. It was quite busy when we arrived, but were lucky enough to get a small table by the door. It was a bit of a tight squeeze because we needed a high chair for our 8 month old. The cafe itself is done out really nicely, with some cool light fixings and retro seating.There’s a large selection on offer on the menu... but it’s all a lil bit to fancy imo. Every other other option seemed to have avocado in it and they didn’t have a “full” breakfast option available. I settled on a bacon and egg roll and the wife had stacked crumpets (with avocado obviously). Service was pretty quick once we placed our order at the counter and when the food turned up, it did look and taste good, but I do feel it is very over priced compared to some of the other recently opened cafes in the SWANSEA area.All in all, I’d go back for a coffee with the wife if passing, but would prob go somewhere else if I wanted a breakfast or had the baby with me.

We were taken by my daughter to this “café”. We live in North Yorkshire and have an abundance of first rate eateries nearby including the Wensleydale Heifer. What we experienced at Rag & Bone was on par with WH and we were very impressed indeed. I can only say for you to try it, you won’t be disappointed. The quirky interior is interesting too. Well done to the owners and thank you for providing an easy place to go and enjoy delicious food made from quality local ingredients.
