The Observatory in Swansea

Fair play to the staff, our dog kept getting over excited so we kept moving tables, from out on the balcony, to inside, and then back out again, only this time to picnic tables at the front - the long-suffering staff kept up with us, and delivered us fantastic coffee and beer, and what we both agreed was the best pizza we've had since moving to Swansea over four years ago. Thankyou for your patience, we will be back, but without the woofer!

Dropped in after a walk on the beach with the dog. Who was welcomed warmly. Shame we were doing Sober October, or I would have loved to try their varied selection of cocktails. However, I did really enjoy my virgin pina colada. The pizza and salad we shared were awesome. Certainly a filling combination for the 2 of us.

Had lunch here last week. The location is great and the setting is lovely, very cosy. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great. We did however wait over an hour for our food (the staff had warned us it would be a 45 minute wait)

Having walked along the sandy beach we wanted somewhere to have a bite to eat that was decent and asked a local lady, she recommended Swansea Observatory that was now in the distance. Dogs are allowed in so that's the first bonus, pick your table and order and pay for your food. There is a balcony outside above the beach with great views as far as the Mumbles but look out for the wasps so we went back inside. Very busy so it must be good.

I love this funky, easygoing beach ambience. Sitting on the back terrace at high tide, watching the sunset, with the waves rolling beneath our feet, was so good. We sat there with a bottle of wine and our sketch books. Lovely. We walked over from our hotel on the marina- easy walking. The menu / food was not to my taste, but that is just a matter of preference. It was well worth the price of a few drinks, a bottle of wine, or some ok pizza just to sit outside and observe the tides or a beautiful sunset.

Recommended by a friend who lives locally; Visited on a busy Sunday and a quieter Tuesday during our stay in the Maritime Quarter. Awesome brunch both times and pizza on the second visit. Amazing, helpful & v kind staff who recognised a tearful Mum to an adult ASD son having a difficult time. Quirky and fascinating interior. Would definitely return again.

Nice view, very average food, not great service. Has the potential to be something really interesting, but falls short.

Awesome brunch, worth driving 40 miles for. Amazing setting with views across Swansea Bay. Combined with polite, helpful staff. made this a great visit.

not very freindly staff,no hello,thankyou when ordering,dirty outside tables,half filled coffee cups,again no hello or thankyou from staff

We were really disappointed with the menu. There was hardly any choices apart from pizza, chicken wings and "cod". When our food came my "cod" was literally 3 fish fingers and the portions was more of a starter which should have been clearly specified as such in the menu. If I had a business on the seafront, I definitely put some more effort into the food. Incidentally they were looking fr a chef. U def need a new chef and a new menu. 30quid fr 2 cokes, 2 small portion of chips n a few wings n 3 fish fingers is definitely a rip off even in this day and age

Really great atmosphere and stunning views but prices are absolutely ridiculous. Paid around £3.50 for a teacake , which I wouldn't mind as much but it wasn't home made it was just a standard one from the supermarket and not fresh. Jam came in a plastic little container like served in a hospital. Really gutted ! Lovely place but really upsetting to be ripped off!

Sunday 11th March, we have been many times as my wife love’s the grannies allotment porridge, we waited an hour (Mother’s Day) which is acceptable, but when the food came the porridge came on a dinner plate about 10mm worth of porridge with the usual toppings, we didn’t want to complain as it was busy so my rung today, a very unhelpful manager informed her that the menu had changed because their portion sizes were too big! She thanked her for the feedback and put the phone down, very professional. For £19 I’m sure we can get something that actually fills us up in Swansea, last time there for us I’m sorry to say.

Beautiful setting overlooking the beach but overall quite disappointing I attended with three other friends, while we got up to order the waiter cleared our glasses and water from our table Then we were subjected to an asthma inducing 15+minutes of smoke from the lighting of the wood burner - so much so I need to wash all my clothes, jacket, myself and hair as the smell is stuck in me I order veggie breakfast with poached eggs. An eye watering £11.70 for one sausage, scrambled egg ( yes they couldn’t get the order right), half a tomato and mush. I left hungry My friend ordered bacon, 1 poached egg, beans and a hash brown. When it arrived she also had mushrooms added. Thankfully that’s a food she isn’t intolerant to, but it could have been a different matter I also ordered a pot of tea with my milk and extra water , i received a mug of tea with milk. I asked three times for the hot water and am still waiting. I think £2.90 is excessive for a teabag and mug of hot water The food was pleasant enough but won’t be galloping back there

The main reason for the ‘poor’ rating is because £6.50 for a pint is outrageous. Otherwise the place is pretty cool and allows dogs. Evening food menu could be better.. and just to add £15 for a margarita pizza is steep!

I purchased a skinny Chai Tea Latte which stated on the menu it was £3.85, it came in a small water glass no bigger than 275mls! (Much smaller than Costa) I also ordered a glass of cold milk for my 4 year old granddaughter which also came in a small glass measuring approximately 200mls. I was charged £2 for this tiny drink which I think is appalling for a child. My bill actually came to £6.30 so I'm assuming I was also charged more for requesting skimmed milk. It was a very disappointing experience as system not clear or transparent and no receipt given!

Nice spot out of the cold. Good beach/beachcomber vibe. Sunday morning full of youngsters having avocado, halloumi or their breakfast baked beans in a little glass on the plate. Music unnecessarily loud. Dogs very welcome. Coffee OK. Need to visit in the evening.

Excellent food and service. Best brunch around. Highly recommended Good choice. I highly recommend their signature all day brunch.

What wonderfully different, quirky and fabulous place! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit - only had a cup of tea on this occasion but will definitely be back for more. We sat and watched a stunning sunset - a really special place! Thank you Noah!

Lovely location and atmosphere ruined by inappropriate loud music....a real conversation killer... The reason for the visit is to relax and chat surely....??

What an amazing place - quirky characterful and fun. I thought for one minute we had found ourselves in some trendy joint in Shoreditch or Hoxton but the breathtaking sea views reminded us we were a stone's throw from Swansea city centre. It proved to be an ideal spot for a warming and delicious breakfast after a walk on the wind-swept beach. The central log burner and comfy chesterfield sofas looked very inviting but we chose a window table to enjoy the unique location. The place has a great vibe, friendly staff and a lively clientele with a variety of well behaved dogs. We cannot wait to return for a longer visit in the evening.

This was our first visit and really impressed with the location and venue. It was very comfy and atmospheric, with amazing views and will no doubt become very popular, especially in summer, however the music was much too loud. It was hard to chat to my friends and there were several young mothers there with very small babies. The music should be a background ambience, not full on. The volume maybe ok for evenings but was not good for a day visit.

Visited for breakfast with a friend on Saturday morning for breakfast. 3 empty tables of 4 in window but we were told we could not sit there as they might get busy. We decided not to have breakfast as rather annoyed so just had coffee. The 3 tables remained empty until a couple sat at one. So we were told we could not sit there but a couple could? They could easily have pushed 2 tables together if it had got busy but this was a cold December morning not the height of summer. Their petty rules actually lost them revenue.

Really enjoyable visit on a Sunday afternoon. Quirky ; Fun & Funky interior . Good tea & coffee . Small but flavoursome menu. Definitely revisit.
