Visited this lovely little cafe recently and had a pot of breakfast tea and gorgeous piece of clementine cake. It was absolutely delicious 😋 Lovely atmosphere with excellent service. Menu looked very appealing, so will be back again to have lunch. 🍽

Stopped there for a drink after a treasure hunt. Staff were very friendly.

Unfortunately I have to leave a negative review which I would not normally do however this once wonderful Chinese has clearly changed hands recently and tumbled very far downhill from being the best Chinese restaurant in Swansea by miles to the worst I've been to in a long time. I'm leaving this review because there is no overt indication that there has been a change of management but it is obvious in a few ways including a distinct lack of Chinese clientele who were once abundant. We were offered traditional vegan and non-vegan menus which were the identical menus we were used to and all ordered familiar dishes. While waiting we were asked several times to confirm items that had been ordered off the menus which has never happened before and communicated a lack of confidence from the kitchen staff. We also all noticed that cutlery was sticky to the touch so clearly not clean and that plates did not look clean (the women's toilet is also pretty disgusting). Then when the food came out nothing looked familiar and in place of the beautiful velveted pork and beef we are accustomed to in our non-vegan dishes were stir fried pork and beef rolls, the kind served on platters for flash-cooking in a hotpot, which were horribly over cooked and chewy. If the restaurant cannot produce the meals on their non-vegan menu, why offer it? The smoky depth of flavour from the wok has also completely vanished. We have been here many times before and have always cleared our plates and wondered at the high standard of the food but this time I ate nothing, it was inedible slop. We also had to endure the chef coming out and speaking loudly with another table declaring the hotpot to be the best in the UK because of the special chillies he uses that can't be sourced by anyone else! Oh come on! A level of arrogance we have never seen even a glimpse of before.

Oh come on! A level of arrogance we have never seen even a glimpse of before. To add insult to injury, on being handed our menus, we were directed to observe a sticker that had been placed on the vegan menus saying all prices were increased by £1 for sit-in customers. So we actually paid more to eat much less at a restaurant trying to pass itself off as something it most definitely is not. I can only assume the management has changed - nobody I saw tonight was familiar to me from our previous visits. However even if this isn't the case, there has been a big change here and not a positive one. Whether it has indeed changed hands or just changed suppliers or chefs, I think that the restaurant should be upfront about this rather than trying to pass itself off as the same Star Bar Swansea knows and loves.

Very disappointed having loved this cafe on our last visit and was looking forward to going back. The service was just not the same, they weren’t serving any of the cooked food they did last time and so with no choice we had tea and cake. The cake was stale, the milk was off, The lady made a fresh pot but forgot to give us cups so the tea was like tar by the time we managed to get cups but milk was still off. We upped and left and won’t be going back.

Actually, this is an all-around wonderful place! There is a range of vegan and vegetarian options. I nearly went for the mushroom soup, made with oat milk (I've had it before), but instead had the cauliflower cheese on a baked potato with side salad. Absolutely gorgeous! Cantîn is within the Conwy Culture Centre building, they work well together, so making a visit to both a real treat. There is disabled parking, everything is on the flat on a single level, inside and out, with a well-equipped accessible toilet. All the staff are lovely and I really like the atmosphere. Prices seem very reasonable.

Emailed the pub requesting a table a few weeks in advance. Got a reply a week later to say they couldn't guarantee a table as but will book us in anyway. On the day the weather was on the cool side for June, & the pub on a Friday evening had hardly any customers, staff were arrogant and the meals took ages to arrive. Can't recommend and the team need to up their game.
