It’s hard to pick just one dish from this menu, but for something a little different, we absolutely loved the ‘Magic Mushrooms’. Mushrooms and spinach in a cream and brie sauce on sourdough toast – delicious! You can even add pancetta.

Coast
Café
Based right in the heart of Swansea Marina, Coast Café is the ideal breakfast spot. Not only does it have stunning views, but a stunning menu too. Sit back, relax and gaze into the beauty of the Marina whilst tucking into the delicious freshly-baked pastries. Did we mention it is also dog friendly?!

A newer addition to the menu, we absolutely loved the pancakes! The stack comes with maple syrup, but you can also add bacon– yum!
5. Crumbs Kitchen
Last, but by no means least, Crumbs Kitchen is nestled in Gwydir Square and offers a completely vegetarian menu. This family-run cafe was born out of a passion for cooking vegan and vegetarian food made from the finest and freshest organic ingredients. Don’t be put off by the small breakfast menu, it is all extremely tasty and what helps make this a popular spot.
