Cafe's like this are dying out in Britain, and there's a reason for it, they're not quaint just…read moredated. the menu food on offer is rather boring, think sandwiches, cups of tea, coffee, and of course English breakfasts! I'll be fair it's not a dingy caf, but I found the place quite depressing. The food tasted bland, and the milkshake was simply strawberry milk. The presentation wasn't good either (very plain old looking mugs and plates). If you fancy good food and a cute cafe I recommend going over the road to Treasure (which has one out the back)!

It is a little known fact that Sir Isaac Newton, one of the smartest people to ever walk the earth,…read moredevoted a third of his life to the pursuit of alchemy. Of course, turning base metals into something completely different was beyond even this genius. But residing in the kitchen at Coffee Denn, Mumbles, is someone who may just of cracked it. For what surely started out as simple base ingredients - egg and cheese - arrived in front of me in a material form I've never come across before. A flying saucer orb with a dark, oily crust which gave way to a polystyrene rubber compound that should take the interest of Bridgestone, Michelin and Dunlop should they be looking to develop a lighter, longer lasting tyre for use in heavy industry. The cheese-like substance providing extra grip, if the chef can work on a tread pattern, they're onto something big. Light as air but durable in the extreme. Albumem and yolk magically transformed into something with the mouth feel of a Brillo Pad. My 'omelette' was accompanied by some nachos and a salad containing a quartered up orange. I dare say if there was some Marmite and a can of tuna going spare in the store cupboard they would have happily lobbed them on the plate too. My dish was like staring into a time warp. It could easily have starred in an episode of Heartbeat. The Mumbles is a beautiful place, set as it is on Swansea Bay. But if you ever need to make a pit stop at Coffee Denn (there is surprisingly little choice), avoid the hot food here at all costs here and stick to their pretty array of cakes and scones.

As yet we've only had tea and cake here but cakes are home made and extremely delicious, a chocolate gooey concoction and wonderful chocolate brownies. there's a good variety of teas and coffees. The Junction has a really interesting menu and blackboard specials, with good vegetarian choices and fair trade organic choices. There is also a lovely Gallery upstairs with individual artists' works and exhibitions, great for special gifts.

Popped by here while looking for a light lunch in Mumbles. I'd seen it as we drove past and thought…read moreit looked cute with the tables and colourful cushions outside. Inside it has a funky decor and a bar with beers on tap so it's almost a pub crossed with a cafe. It turned out the rugby was on so there quite a lot of men in here watching Wales on the TV. You order your food at the bar- I had a jacket potato with cheese, beans and salad but the menu is quite eclectic with pizzas, salads, soups etc. My friend had a pot of tea followed by a smoothie. We spent quite a lot of time in here because we were sat by the fire getting nice and toasty, plus they had Wi-Fi and magazines to keep us occupied! A nice little spot if you're looking for a light bite or a drink in Mumbles!

If you like really indigestable HARD,HARD fried eggs that you are unlikely to digest for about a month this is the place for you. Runny fried eggs are NOT in the vocabulary.If you are unreasonable enough to be seated where the staff have to pass by the back of your chair you will be knocked & banged without apology until you leave. I once sat there with my cousin waiting for our food for nearly 40 minutes while the owner of the cafe made many loud phone calls in the middle of a busy cafe relating to many of her personal medical problems including her Tourettes syndrome medication, & also varying genito-urinary problems,quite un-edifying we both began to suspect that we were victim of some prank fly on the wall TV show,but no,the only show showing was the "Madisons all-Star freakily staffed uncomfortable eatery show". It's such a shame because it's in a nice setting & the food is quite good but the attitude of the waitresses is appalling.I can't wait for them to go out of business & perhaps be taken over by civilised owners & staff. I won't be going there ever again & I would advise anyone else to try "Trams" in the arcade, a much more pleasent establisment with a great Seaview.
