Swansea’s cafes and coffee shops have amazing seaside views, delicious cakes, skilled baristas and, yes, even great coffee.

1. Beach Hut Café

Among the many reasons Beach Hut Café is popular with locals are the amazing panoramic views across Swansea Bay. There are plenty of original features and a real traditional British beach holiday vibe. The café does breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they even have their own ice cream parlour.

2. Square Peg Coffee House

Cafe, Coffee Shop, Contemporary, Tea

Square Peg is a lovely and cosy non-profit venture (the profits benefit local charities) that does a really good cup of coffee. They serve good-quality, wholesome food, and those who are vegan or gluten-free have praised their flexibility.

You’ll find a shabby-chic interior, an elaborate afternoon tea and a delicious array of cakes at No6hundred. Plus, they know how to do a good cuppa.

5. Coast Café

A welcoming space with views of the water and everything from delicious crab to simple wraps to the usual café trappings on the menu. Coast also serves something stronger, if that’s what you fancy—be sure to try the wine of the month.

6. Café 93
