The Junction in Swansea

Lovely cafe. Currently only open outside, which was great as we sat in the sunshine enjoying our Egg & Bacon rolls which were delicious; thank you.

Great for coffee and cake after a long walk or even a pint of something cold and refreshing during the warmer months

Pleasant place , friendly staff and nice menu If you’re allergic to dogs or don’t relish them sharing your eating space then possibly avoid-but this I accept is a positive for some .

This is a jewel of a coffee shop with delicious treats and tasty meals to enjoy with a beer or wine or a coffee, the staff are friendly attentive and so kind nothing is ever too much trouble this is a favourite of ours =)

Went with friends for a light lunch, looking for a new venue for us to meet once a month. The staff were unfriendly and not really bothered. We went upstairs as we were a group of seven and were absolutely frozen, even though we left our coats on! The food was mediocre and we will not return. Unfortunately I cannot think of any positives.

Booked a table here for the first week of Sunday Lunch. We chose The Junction as it is dog friendly and that is a big plus for us. We ordered the garlic mushrooms starter which was a very tasty dish served with bread. For mains we had Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding which came with roast potatoes, parsnips and side of 3 vegetables and cauliflower cheese. Everything was well cooked and delicious. More than enough for both of us. The dessert of raspberry and apple crumble was also delicious served with custard, perfect. A great meal in a relaxing atmosphere! We will be back.

It's in a very convenient location near a car park and a view of the sea (if you choose to sit outside). The service is good and the staff are friendly. The coffee is ok and limited. They do not offer a take away option. I've had meals there which are tasty but find it a bit pricey for what you get. They have a good selection of cakes and treats which compliment any hot drink. A good place to gather with a few friends as they offer both indoor and outdoor seating.

This is a beautiful cafe with inside and outside seating near a water play area and park for the kids. Stunning views of the bay and shaded tables available. Unfortunately we moved from outside because of the wasps but that’s the British summer!! We had the beer battered fish and chip special and it was delicious!! Generous portion and yummy tartare sauce. Perfectly served with a dressed salad also. Our three year old destroyed the sausage, chips and beans children’s meal and it was a good size portion with a proper sausage!! Perfect location, amazing food, reasonable price and friendly staff. Only issue was there were too many cake choices and I wanted them all even though I was stuffed!

Came for a quick bite and a coffee, have visited the junction many times before and always been impressed. The tables outside were quite dirty - needed proper wiping, food on the floor. We had a chicken sandwich which was lovely, but the milk in the cappuccino was not frothed at all. Hoping it’s just due to the summer holidays and having seasonal workers

Situated by the Lido on the Mumbles Road, with reasonable all day parking opposite, this venue offers a varied menu to suit all tastes, is dog friendly with both indoor and outdoor seating. My friend and I enjoyed their salad special of the day and we both agreed it was the best ever. Especially when you can enjoy the view over Swansea Bay as a bonus, while you eat. We'll be back.

Called in whilst cycling. The location is second to none,on the cycle path from Swansea to Mumbles. I ordered poached eggs on sourdough toast and an americano. The americano was really nice and the breakfast OK. Not sure if it was sourdough toast though. It was a roll cut in two and very light. The poached eggs were good. The weather was great so I sat outside and enjoyed some sun.

Hold tight to your wallet just had a take away coffee from their cafe. Hold onto your wallet £2.65 for a whole 1/2 cup of coffee in a paper cup Will not get caught again the cheapskates

Absolutely terrible service. Very very rude waitress. No organisation at all. Should be prepared for busy times. It doesn't even deserve a 1 star sorry. I'm a local so im always around this area but wouldn't waste my money again.

Stopped here on my way round the bay for breakfast (around 11 o’clock) I ordered the smoked salmon with spinach & avocado poached eggs on soda bread and that is what I got; it was nice enough, although I would have liked a little more avocado. The staff were very friendly and service was good, and it was a lovely place to sit outside.

We are very frequent visitors to Swansea and find it impossible to walk passed The Junction without calling in.Needless to say the venue lends itself to sitting outside on a sunny day but it is also cosy inside during the Winter months.The service is excellent.The young people working at The Junction are a prime example of how professional you can be in your work if you wish to succeed.The team [led by Jack] can not be more obliging and couple their approach with a good sense of humour. There is a wide selection of hot and cold drinks and the prices provide good value.My own present, personal favourite is the Peroni on draught.The food is very tasty and we are always making a mental note of what we are going to order next time when others are being served.With fingers crossed,the weather is looking fine for the forthcoming Airshow.Sunday lunch for us and friends will be at The Junction with the Red Arrows flying above.

The food we did order tasted good, however, the menu is fairly limited. We sat outside and ordered a potion of chips for the little one, Welsh rarebit and a sausage and bacon bap. The bap was seriously overpriced for 2 bacon and one sausage cut in half in chibbatta bap. The Welsh rarebit was served on a piece of wood... What in the world possessed them to do this when we were sitting outside? The wood was far too small and inappropriate. Chips were served in a miniature fryer... Again why? Add sauce... it just seeps out of the mesh. Overall a mixed bag, nice food but overpriced and trying to be fancy in the wrong location.

A group of us called in here after walking as a group. Lovely staff and service there, we were made to feel really welcome ! Lovely beverages and a fab selection of cakes too. Can't wait to return !!

Family visit (3 adults, 1 child) for Mothers Day. Glad we booked as it was full so had a lovely buzz. The food was great, the tomato, red pepper and basil soup stood out - packed with flavour. There was also the option of curried chickpea which hopefully we can try on a future visit. We each had a Sunday roast and washed it down with a lovely Sauvignon and pint of Peroni. Sadly no room left for dessert!

1st and last visit to The Junction swansea I order a glass of wine and a soda water and lime and was changed £8.50 a small glass of wine was £7.00 and small glass of soda water and lime was £1.50 the red wine came from Tesco ( £4.25 a bottle and soda water and lime was 40p a bottle) both had Tesco label on , totally RIP Off ‍♂️asked to talk to the owner or manager about the price in NO one was in the place to talk to me .

Visited today, purchased 2 skinny lattes and a blueberry muffin. Are the muffin in the time while we waited for our coffees to arrive. Can't fault the lattes but the muffin was something else. The blueberry muffin was void of taste, for someone who bakes and sells muffins and cupcakes on a regular basis I would be embarrassed and ashamed to serve that to the public. It had been defrosted for sale, you could roll the entire muffin up into a ball. Definitely would not recommend

Visited today for lunch. We had savoury muffins with cheese and relish. 2 cups of tea and one bottle of water. The bill came to £19.90. Very overpriced and poor quality food. This place seems to have gone drastically downhill. Staff were friendly and nice however but food was just awful. No one should be served 3 halves of a Muffin lol.

Went to a party here and have to say the food was amazing. It was buffet style but a step above your average. Amazing beef, turkey and salmon plus veggies. Almost like a buffet style carvery which can’t be a bad thing! Didn’t know they did this kind of thing here but we had a great night and I’d recommend it if you’re arranging an event.

The tea and food is good but the fascinating thing qbout this place is that it used to be the junction for the tramline and even before that it was the stopping place for the horse drawn train carriages.

We attended the Junction on a Friday evening for a private function. The atmosphere was excellent. The food was really beautiful, the staff could not do enough for us and everyone had a fantastic evening. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

I have never had a satisfactory visit to this establishment, but was persuaded by a group of friends to attend a group function last Friday night 23rd.

Stopped here for a coffee and flapjack with my wife while on a bike ride on the coast. Great coffee and amazing fruity flapjacks.

Our family loves a good Sunday roast (especially when you don't have to cook it yourself!). The one we had today at The Junction was absolutely delicious. Beef was roasted to perfection, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were homemade and delicious. All served with a lovely selection of vegetables. Service was fine, maybe just a little refinement required but staff were friendly and helpful. My husband did comment that it would have been nice to have the choice of a bottle of ale instead of just the lagers and cider on offer. But personally I wasn't worried, I had a very nice glass of rioja!

I popped in here for a coffee late lunchtime- it was really busy. I was planning on sitting outside anyway as I had my grandson asleep in the pushchair. However, as they have closed the side door you have to go in through an entrance with steps?! They had no decaf coffee either. I got the feeling that they hadn’t prepared themselves for the fact that it was half term and they would be busy.

Came to try the Sunday lunch which has started recently. It really was excellent and we had no complaints; the food looked and tasted wonderful. We’d come back again for lunch and would also enjoy a glass of wine but didn’t notice the board with a list of wines until towards the end of our meal on this occasion.

We went as a family walking from Swansea to mubbles and when we order we all felt that we was the wrong time of customer the want to attract. Food was ok I guess .had a lot better in high class establishments and felt more at easy .

I visited The Junction with some friends last week, the first time since the change of management and I am sad to say that we were truly disappointed.

Had a stop here whilst walking today. Wanted 2 cups of tea and 2 toasted tea cakes. Drinks came quickly, but after a 10 minute wait we had to go in and chase up the tea cakes. No apology from the waitress, who said they were on their way. Another 5 minutes past before they arrived. Drinks almost finished and cold by this point. No apologies or offer of a refill to have drinks with our snack. very disappointing.

Wow, awesome Sunday lunch, second to none. Well done to Nikki and her team. Book us in for next week

Visited the restaurant which I have enjoyed many times with my family and ordered 4 veggie burgers. Received the order to find that the burger consisted of two large mushrooms and some cheese, not really a burger at all. This for £9. Really confused as most people who order a burger I believe would expect to receive some sort of burger in the bun. It’s a nice friendly restaurant with some good food but they need to take this of the menu, was poor.

Out for a long walk, I called in for a coffee early Sunday afternoon. It was very busy and I had the last table downstairs. Whilst waiting to order my coffee I was tempted by a few items on the specials board so decided on something to eat as well. I chose the field mushrooms with bacon, leeks and cream with a crumb top. It was a good choice and I enjoyed every bite! Plenty of flavour and not too heavy for my walk back home! Coffee was good too and the service friendly.

After a walk along the front with the dog we stopped for lunch at The Junction. Very tasty lunch, good service and everyone found something to eat from the menu.

After a very pleasant walk along the Promenade with my daughter and a granddaughter

The Junction is a smallish shop coffee's teas food etc.. to the front of the shop it's on the main road to Mumbles.. and the back is in a spot where there are swings.. in the hot weather there is a small paddling pool. and a few yards away is the beach......

We don't go anywhere without our lab. Ofcourse it's limiting but that's life. The food (eggy soldiers) were lovely. The staff were very nice, accommodating and in my pre-check the day before were welcoming and assured me of excellent food...I wasn't disappointed. The menu looks really interesting and unusual. The tables are comfortable and 'cosy corner' clearly a pull. The decoration and ambience was really welcoming and I couldn't think of the right word - it's homely. Being so close to the lido this could so easily be chips establishment for kids but not all, a sophisticated, laid back cafe. One we shall revisit time and time again. Today perhaps!

Fancied an iced coffee after a hot Parkrun and bike ride one Saturday morning. The weather was beautiful and incredibly hot - as it has been for weeks. When I went to order, the staff told me that they didn’t do iced coffee. I could have a hot coffee and they could give me a glass of ice on the side, but not an iced coffee. How odd! Thinking about it, I could’ve just asked for a shot of espresso, a glass of cold milk, and a glass of ice on the side. All would’ve cost the same as a normal hot latte and I could’ve made it myself at the table . I ended up with a bottle of sparkling water and espresso. My son had a glass of coke but neither the water nor the coke came with any ice. The coffee was very nice though.

Called in for breakfast recently, service and food were excellent and the location is great. Well worth calling in here for a bite to eat if you are in the area.

We used to love this place for coffee in the morning and the occasional lunch. Since the management change a few months ago it has gone from bad to worse.

Not the same coffee disappointed.lady behind counter sour faced .coffee took a long time to arrive and it wasn't even busy would not call again.

Great cafe for a refreshment stop on cycle/pedestrian track. Pleasant staff,great snacks,lovely location.Perfect spot for a relaxing break.

Visited for the first time recently. This is such a lovely building and a great place to meet friends as right on the seafront so handy for a stroll. Indoor and outdoor seating with WiFi. I recommend the Welsh rarebit which is served on a croissant and is full of flavour and presented really well. There are boards near the till which show specials and soups but they could be more visible as we hadn’t seen them before already waiting in line to order. Will be back!

It seems acceptable these days to overcharge for everything when you have a good vantage point and the junction is no exception. If you are after a coffee and cake for two expect to burst £10 - the cake was bland and the coffee bitter but there was water for the dog and a lovely sunny outlook. Have had breakfast here previously and also felt overcharged.

Amazing building! Great number of tables outside by the sea. Had lunch here with a vegetarian friend and the staff were great modifying the meals for us to share.

This was the first time we had been into The Junction since its change in management. The Junction is situated on the Mumbles Road in the old Mumbles Railway BlackPill station

As The Junction is within walking distance from my home, it is one of my go-to cafes so have visited several times within the last couple of months. Since its recent management changeover, the menu is quite different from before and although it looks very good I just haven't yet managed to get past the soups! There is usually a choice of 3 soups on offer and the ones we have tried so far are butternut squash, coconut and chilli, cauliflower and Manchego cheese, Manchego and blue cheese, butternut squash and sweet potato, carrot and coriander and celery and blue cheese - it is SO hard to pick a favourite, they are all stunning! The accompanying breads are delicious too - always warm and range from oat bread to mini wholemeal loves and ciabattas. Have also tried a couple of the chocolate brownies - very impressive too. I made a note to self to try the burger which looked delicious and the breakfasts...........and then continue to work my way through the rest of menu!! Highly recommended.

We brought our visiting family here yesterday and were really impressed by the menu. Everyone enjoyed their choices from home made burgers with really tasty chips to welsh rarebit croissant! and spinach and chorizo hash.

First visit since change in management. Such a shame to find a limited choice for vegetarians and vegans eg there was no veggie option on the daily specials board. We used to visit the old junction often and really enjoyed the choice and quality of the food. This time though I had a cuppa and left.

We visited the Junction for the first time since the change of ownership.. Looked OK and it was good to see extra seating upstairs and that it was open...(The old place closed upstairs unless the place was busy, so good to see some changes)

Lovely setting,but not a lot of comfort for the expensive menu,found the chairs very uncomfortable would not be inclined to linger too long !

Great location - we called in for a late lunch during a long walk

Great service and great choice. Loved the items for sale too. Two amazing vegetarian choices. Felafel or a Halloumi burger.

Located next to the Blackpill outdoor Lido which is a great place for the kids to unwind.

Good location with sea views and next door to Blackpill Lido. Has outside seating area and table service when you've ordered your food from inside. Thought food was very expensive e.g roll with side salad & crisps £6.90...ridiculous, still expect it's tourist prices.The seating area inside is very decorative. Staff here are friendly, pleasant and welcoming. I probably wouldn't eat here again due to poor value for money but would be okay for tea/coffee ( not glass of wine at £3.95 a glass though ), it is pleasant to sit outside / inside depending on the weather.

Yet again , great service from a very busy place , all the staff great you with a smile and tables cleared quickly as the turn around is quick , the setting inside is quaint, and kept to the theme of the coastline , outside seating is available for guests whom eat or drink there , as the lido is packed with family's , and to sit here with out using the restaurant is not good , but there are clear signs saying not to sit here , one of the young lads his name is Sam , nothing to much trouble , very polite , and good eye contact , the management a lady in black very nice , and always checking her staff were okay and her self very Hans on , the food is lovely and the coffee the best ,in lovely big cups , a must to visit for food and drinks , the do alcohol as well , and functions .

We popped into The Junction while walking the dog.

We visited this week and had 4 meals. The food was good, fresh and tasty. On several occasions I tried to strike up conversation with staff serving but they seemed uninterested. I felt for a lunch the price was expensive, it came to over £40.

We stopped for breakfast on a cold August morning, the service was really fast and the food was good quality and well cooked. The hot breakfast menu is inflexible when catering for adults with smaller appetites, the children's breakfast is perfect for this but the menu says that it is for under 12s only. Not really a criticism just a request! There is a paddling pool outside which was surprisingly busy considering it was 15 degrees outside and also a playground. Lots for children to do while waiting the few minutes for food to come.

Mi familia y yo en el cruce ayer para 'ponerse al día' con la familia y amigos durante el almuerzo. El menú era variado y sonaba interesante, así que pedimos. . . . . . Que llevo algún tiempo! La comida tardó aún más y mi ciabatta tostado no se logró con el resto de la comida. El personal era maleducado, aparte de un hombre joven que no engendrar una sonrisa. No había servicio de atención al cliente en absoluto y cuando les preguntamos dónde estaban las patatas fritas de batata, nos dijo la señorita encargada, en términos muy claros, que no había pedido ninguna, a pesar de su haber sido independiente junto a la persona que escribió nuestro pedido! Más tarde, me di cuenta de que la misma mujer, de pie fuera de la cocina y tener un cigarrillo jugando con su pelo, uf! Mientras que el entorno era agradable, cerca del mar, la parada del tren tierra y el lido para niños, no volveremos. Hay numerosas otras casas de café más en la carretera Mumbles.

Paramos aquí hoy para algunos alimentos después de caminar por el mar. Está en una estupenda ubicación en Blackpill. Principalmente hacer aperitivos aquí así que si estás buscando una comida principal, la elección no es tan genial.

I visited here last week with family as it's conveniently situated to Clyne Gardens where we had been for a walk. As it was a glorious day we sat outside but under a large parasol. There is quite a good variety on the menu for a smallish place. I ordered the Ploughmans and it was excellent. It was extremely good value for money and all the ingredients were beautifully fresh.

Very friendly and helpful staff, and in a lovely location - excellent views from upstairs. Dogs welcome outside. Marvellous menus and food is delicious and quite reasonable. Wonderful coffee, a fabulous place to eat/drink after a bracing walk to Mumbles and back but beware - closes quite early (about 3pm, although coffees served until about 3.30pm). Would recommend anything on the menu, all freshly cooked.

The slate on the bar clearly states "feel free to ask about any allergies". I took my boyfriend (who has a peanut allergy) to simply get a salmon and cream cheese bagel. Nothing difficult about that. There is very little if not nothing that has peanuts on the menu, yet when I asked about the allergen menu they said "there's no point. Could be nuts somewhere in the kitchen - I wouldn't risk it. That just tells me that:a) they can't be bothered to make a simple bagel away from the mysterious 'nuts' they claim to have aroundb) the kitchen is not clean - all you have to do is wipe down the surfaces! Or don't keep your desserts close to your bread/meats. Not that difficult!Would not go again.

Stopped here after walking back from Mumbles- decided on coffee and cake, well a huge wedge of cake arrived and it was delicious! My son and husband also had brownie and shortcake one which also looked great too

Usually just stop for coffee there on walking along the Promenade to the Mumbles from Swansea. A pleasant location, only done it in Winter as the lido gets packed on warm days in the summer. Nice coffee there, food a bit pricey by the look of it but cannot say whether it is good value. Will continue to call in when passing. If you can get a seat go outside as the view is nice of the beach and many passing along the promenade on foot and on bikes

We called in today for a snack,firstly I thought it was expensive £14 for coffee,coke hotchocolate,portion of chips, cold bacon toastie and 2 cold slices of toast which we had to wait for 40mins for to be topped with a rude waitress.

Another nice little cafe on the promenade but this one is seeped in history. It used to be the junction house for the old tramline and on the site of the oldest railway in the world.

We've been here quite a few times for coffee and a snack. The coffee is great no matter what version you have. There is a great range of items on the menu but we haven't tried them all. What we have tried we've really enjoyed. The toasted bacon butty and granola are 2 of our favourites. And the shortbread is superb. It's in a great location right by the beach and children's play area. When the weather allows its great to sit outside and watch the world go by.

We went a 50th wedding anniversary party. It was an evening party on a very wet November evening. The buffet was a mixture of hot? And cold dishes. We were among the first to be served and all the hot dishes were Luke warm at best. The flavour was good but the chicken was dry. The venue was cramped for the 25 or so guests and all the older guests said they were cold from a draught coming in. I would not go there again in the winter.

I was walking my dog and it started to rain, so sat outsider under the shelter. Bought a coffee and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. An amazing coffee too. An accidental visit that will be followed up by more. Great coffee, great staff, great view. What more do you need? Bet it's outstanding when the sun is out too x

Historic Mumbles Railway building now transformed in to a cosy cafe/bar. Still quite busy in November - we just had a coffee but the food looked good and all freshly cooked. Quite small inside but romantic atmosphere and quirky "sea products" for sale.

I met up with an old friend for a catch up and 'coffee'. I had the hot chocolate and it was by far the best I have had in a long time with tiny marshmallows, a lot of cream and a really good tasting hot chocolate drink! Not sure about anything else but if you are passing by and you like a hot chocolate I very much recommend getting one :-)

Despite being a fairly regular visitor to The Junction since it opened around 2002, I have been three times in quick succession recently - twice for brunch with family and once for coffee with friends. The breakfasts are great value for the size and are of an excellent quality, the sausages were particularly good and the bacon is always nicely cooked, likewise the breakfast ciabatta. There is always a good choice of cakes on the counter and the brownies are amazing! The service is also friendly and reliable.

Ate here twice in the last couple of days both times food was excellent. Sandwiches and ploughman's was huge on Friday and kids menu was really good. Today the sun was shining lovely sitting outside. Today we had ham, egg & chips and a burger it was delicious. All ingredients were fresh and the portions were very generous. Staff friendly and chatty. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a very busy place as there is a lido there for children with park area and on the beach front as I was on my own with two grandchildren. Didn't want to leave to get a coffee the waiter came to clear tables and could see that I was looking at the queue inside as no service out side I explained that the children were in the pool and didn't want to leave he offered to get the coffee for no trouble at all big thanks for that good was lovely to x

It's in a lovely setting and the interior of the building is very smart, but I find the prices too expensive.I'd much rather head down to Oystermouth and find a cafe there.

This cafe is on our regular dog walking route but this summer things have gone from bad to worst. The opening hours seem very limited at present, for instance, we arrived at 4.15 today to find the place closed. When we have found it open, the service has been poor but the staff are very young and bullied ( I have witnessed it happening). The food is now overpriced. It's such a shame because we used to enjoy going there.

I like this place. It's well situated with lovely views across the bay to Mumbles. You can sit outside in the 'sun' and enjoy the sounds of happy children playing in the Lido. We decided to have lunch there. The menu is very tempting if a little expensive, and they offer gluten-free bread if you prefer for the sandwiches. I decided on Welsh cheese and chutney with an accompanying salad. It was okay, but there was too much sweet chutney so I could not actually taste the cheese. A shame as I was more interested in the cheese than the chutney. Oh well, I'll take a picnic next time and hope to find one of the nearby picnic tables empty. :)

I'm a regular customer, coffee is always excellent as is the food. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Dogs are made very welcome in the outside seating area, but are not allowed indoors, fair enough. The cafe is in an old electricity substation which provided power for the Mumbles Railway, this gives it a lot of character but does mean that space inside is quirky and can be inconvenient for big pushchairs etc. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Good location and a tasty lunch with interesting and different options. Food has always been good when I've visited

We always used to come here as a treat- not the cheapest but felt the standard of the food was excellent -more a place for an evening meal. We went there today and were really disappointed. The meal was expensive but the standard was very poor. My husband ordered a ploughmans-which we returned. The cheese portion was minute, with a tiny amount of pate and a couple of slices of ham. The price they charged was far too high- especially when you consider that its main clientelle is families enjoying the Lido at Blackpill. We will not be returning for meals in future

We managed to get a table outside that was easy to access with a wheelchair. There are disabled toilets with baby changing facilities but nowhere to change larger disabled children wearing pads. Although there is space to get a wheelchair and a carer into the toilet so if they can transfer to the toilet then there is adequate space for that. The menu has a selection of rather unusual choices - think bagels with humous and chorizo - which wasn't ideal for some of the children in our party. I enjoyed my salad with goats cheese and walnut though. The staff were helpful, service was good and the price was reasonable.

Spent a lovely Saturday evening here. Private party. Lovely prepared buffet. Good for small gatherings. Bar good staff very helpful. Prices good.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the food. Good standard. Unfortunately the manager completely ruined our experience of this place. Lots of children running around in swimsuits and bare feet. My daughter was coming into the cafe to find me and she (at 6 years of age) didn't see the notice stating shows must be worn inside the cafe. As I turned to speak to my daughter on her approach to me, the manager started pointing and shouting extremely loudly at my daughter for not having any footwear on inside the cafe. My daughter left the cafe shaking and in absolute floods of tears and I stood there aghast. Witnesses could not believe how appalling her behaviour was. I have never experienced such rude and nasty behaviour from a manager supposedly providing a public service. Nasty woman. Shame as it was a nice cafe but will never go there again. NEW MANAGER NEEDED!!!!!

Breakfast of hot bacon butties, plus a full English - erm, well Welsh, were beautifully cooked, good ingredients and generous. Coffee good, too. Smiley staff eased us nicely into the day. Loved the attitude to child visitors, with toys and books ready in a cutely decorated corner. Immediately outdoors is also great for families, because the children's park there has various apparatus for play. And then, of course, there's the beach and sea, stretching far to the distance and undiluted views to the Mumbles pier. Will go again when in Swansea.

Called for lunch it was nice and sunny sat outside.Had lobster and crab burger with sweet potato fries very nice and well presented.Service good and quite fast considering it was busy.The only draw back is parking but you can pay and display in the woodman car park opposite so there are options.

First trip this summer to one of our favourite lunch venues. Friendly team of staff, great choice of food on specials board. I had delicious chicken club sandwich with sweet potatoe fries and husband had chicken tangine with rice and chips. Drinks at reasonable prices and good range on offer. Lots of yummy cake on offer and Joes ice cream, perfect.

Called in yesterday with my Grandson. Sunny day so we sat outside. He ordered childs burger and chips and I ordered the mixed bean salad and paid extra for chorizo. Menu said it contained sun dried tomato, I explained to the lady taking my order I cannot eat tomato and she said no problem and wrote on the form "no tomato" waited quite a while for the food then when it came my food looked lovely but had tomato!!!! I went back inside, leaving my grandson outside alone! and spoke quietly with a lady who said" no problem I will come and collect it" within 2 minutes an older lady with black hair marched out and said in a very loud voice " are you the one who complained about the tomatoes" I said I was and she snarled "they're not tomatoes, they're peppers!!!" And banged my plate down on the table!!! I was very shocked!!! I didn't argue. My grandson ate his burger and I removed all the sun dried tomatoes from my meal and left them on the bread plate, hopefully the chef will recognise them as such when my meal was returned uneaten and remember what they look like for future reference. Not wanting to suffer the wrath if the harridan again, we will not be returning and certainly will not be recommending any of our friends visit there.

Many times on our weekly walk have stopped at junction for refreshments.Today we ordered as a group with one person ordering for us all. Part order came out but no latte arrived it seemed that it was being taken to another table to a gentleman behind us in the queue. When this was pointed out to the young girl she started to bring latte to our table only to be screamed at by I presume the manager and told that latte was for the gentleman not us. When our latte eventually arrived it was not as that one served in a tall latte glass but in a small tea mug for which the charge was £2.50 definitely not good service and very overpriced. One tea stop to be crossed off our list

The food was alright but a bit pricey by local standards. Excellent views of Swansea Bay from the first flooor, when it is open. You can sit outside when the weather permits. It has character, being a converted railway station.

Well-located on the sweep of Swansea Bay and right next to the popular children's lido. After a walk down the Clyne Valley path provides a welcome break with friendly staff. Dogs not allowed inside but if the sun is shining plenty of outside seating and with a warming hot drink not a problem. Sit and enjoy the views!

Only went in for a cup of coffee.However, I was going to pay by card only!- no card payments below £5- 50p per card transaction under £10I've worked in banking and now the cost and rules on card payments.Went to the garage next door for a costa and payed under £5 with a card.

Surprised by the interior! Very quirky! Delicious cappucino! Menu looked nice, friendly , will def call again!

My friend ordered the ham and eggs. Ham and only one egg arrived. He asked why only one egg to be told that the menu had a typo!AVOID!

Really enjoyed the visit. Ordered the falafel salad which was gorgeous!! Fresh,vibrant salad and tasty falafels served with toasted ciabatta and houmous. Mum ordered the mixed(ham,cheddar and pate) Ploughman's which was lovely. My daughter opted for the toasted bagel cheese burger and chips which was a hefty portion. All the food was fresh and tasty. Will definitely pay another visit.

Good home cooked food, served in the old station. We came on a busy Sunday and were served promptly. Lots of families with small children and a lively atmosphere as a result. Staff were great. Cant understand the negative reviews.

We have eaten here a number of times and have never had a naff meal. We are veggies and one of us is not too keen on cheese (most places always seem to think veggies live on cheese- we don't). Portions are large and well presented. We have always found the staff to be polite. Lovely area to eat outside facing the sea when the weather is good.
