Swansea Cafés

Swansea has always been a little behind the times when it comes to cafe culture, but not any more. Amongst the sprinkling of long standing cafes with their loyal following, it seems every week there is a new cafe opening in Swansea Bay, Mumbles and Gower, and even better, they are all independents. We may have had to wait a while, but at least we're getting some great non-branded places.

The following is a list of the cafés in Swansea Bay, Mumbles and Gower.
