24 Best Cafes near Swansea

“First time try…. played it safe, and got my ice caramel latte, although they had so many specialty coffee’s that I was tempted to try. Owner and or employee recognized we were new faces and asked if it was our first time. When I said yes he handed me a free large sample of their “OG” which was very good, and I would def go back for or try another specialty! Customer service experiences like this are always huge for me and also if your a plant person and love coffee this is the place for you!“

“I would gladly return but I did feel the pricing to a bit high for Fall Riv“

“We just came by boat with two little kids not realizing the new fall hours. The employee working saw them peaking into the window and was so kind bringing them each out doughboy donuts. It was such a generous and thoughtful gesture that truly made these two little kids day! We look forward to coming again in the spring (during hours your open)“

“great big selection of sandwiches, cakes,breads,cookies, hot and cold drinks, sml and medium size pastries.. let's not forget the speed the staff works at.. I would matter of fact I do recommend to everyone 😜“

“Great-tasting sandwiches and coffee, light and fluffy donuts, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices - great combination at this family-owned business. Sandwiches are freshly-made and taste better than the big-name coffee shops. Check their FB page in case they close early, usually because running out some food.“

“Love it there everyone is so friendly and waitress are awesome food is great big portions and delicious every time I come to my sisters house I go at least 1 a week if not more“

“I’m not a cat person but the establishment is great and I appreciate what the owner does to help the animals. I read some of the reviews below and I can say honestly it’s all false. If you dont like what it stands for don’t go but don’t tarnish what she is trying g to do. Every time I visit I get my RI kitty drink and pastry and chat for a bit. The owner was always pleasant to chat with and she is not rude the place doesn’t smell like what people say so please. Like I said just don’t go if that’s how you feel and don’t make the owner feel she is doing it wrong. When in reality she is doing a lot and doing it right by helping the animals the true reason for it. Help support the business Thank you“

“I have been coming to this coffee shop for 15 years and it’s still my favorite place for an iced vanilla chai latte. When my kids were little we would get snacks and sit and color, and then I did homeschooling with my kids here for some time out of the house, and now we come to read, relax, and enjoy the baked goods!“

“We go here a few times a year. We ordered donuts today for my son's birthday. We did it through door dash. I wrote a little note asking for specific donuts that he would like. They gave us what we wanted, plus one extra, plus a little note. It's the little things in life that mean a lot to me. So i take appreciate that. It means we will keep going back. Thank you to whomever did this for us this morning“

“Super tasty bagels, great pricing and friendly staff. It seems like this place is super popular with the locals. The only thing I think could be improved is efficiency of the behind the counter staff. The wait for the bagels was insane, and according to a local is very common. I think he said “if you want to kill an hour, come to Bristol Bagel Works.” While we didn’t wait an hour per se, it was probably a good 20-30 mins with only 6 people ahead of us. I would definitely come back if I was in the area.“

“Food is excellent. Portion sizes are healthy. For example the veal parmesan with linguini feeds both me and my husband. I haven't tried anything as of yet that I didn't like. Everything is cooked fresh“

“Awesome place great staff wonderful customers“

“I had a delicious Caesar salad. Fresh lettuce, along with a ton of Parmesan and croutons. I took a piece of chocolate cookie dough cake. All I can say is WOW! So yummy!!!“
