Having recently moved to this area, we've discovered that this is possibly the best cafe in Swansea. Their pancake stacks are delicious, and a definite must try if you visit. I love how they have monthly specials, we'll definitely have to pop back once a month just to try these! Overall a very lovely, welcoming cafe that serves delicious food! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

First time sitting in for food and having pancakes and they were the best I have ever had! Absolutely amazing pancakes, loads of choice on the menu! The staff are also brilliant and provide a great service! An extremely popular place to go for breakfast and brunch, the pancakes are an absolute must when going here, but there other food is just as good!

The food was delicious and the chorizo stack was incredible. The coffee was good too. I would definitely go back for a savoury meal. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the black forest pancake stack. At £10 it was a big disappointment. The pancakes were stodgy and dry. The fruit compote was delicious though. Pity about the pancakes, truly. I recommend you avoid them and instead order a delicious meal off the menu. We parked on the side of the road. The interior decor is fun and quirky.

Went to the Haystack Cafe for the first time a few weeks ago. No booking system however we were lucky to be seated within 5 - 10 minutes despite it being match day in Swansea. Also there was plenty of parking onsite adjacent to the cafe.

The interior is kooky and quite charming, ordering food is via a QR code which loads up the app.

We went here for brunch and ordered a mixture of dishes to try a bit of everything, the Fried chicken eggs Benedict was delicious and my fiancé enjoyed the Chicken bacon cheeseburger. The portions were generous and we didn't manage to finish our food but it was no problem requesting food to take away with us when we were done.

Always busy, but worth it. I really fancied something sweet and savoury, so I went for the American pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, couldn't quite finish it, but it was delicious!! My only gripe would be bigger cups of coffee would be amazing, coffee quality however is excellent!!

Brought my daughter to Haystack Cafe for her birthday breakfast and as usual these guys have hit it out of the park!

The level of quality, care and effort these guys squeeze into the food, the branding and the atmosphere is truly top class 👌

I had the Christmas Special Ho! Ho! Ho! Stacks and Elena had a farmer breakfast with a pistachio hot chocolate 🙌

Keep up the fantastic work guys ❤️

First visit - a good sign as it was very busy! Polite staff and plenty of breakfast/brunch options catering for both modern and traditional tastes. We had a vegetarian & vegan breakfast (see pics). The American style pancake stacks seemed very popular too.

First time visiting and I was impressed. There is a car park next door, but not many spaces, so you may need to park in one of the side streets. We parked in a side street and it was a 5 min walk. There was a slight wait for a table, we were told 30 to 40 mins, but was more like 15 in the end and they let you know via WhatsApp if your table is ready, which was a nice touch.

The food is really nice and there is a good selection. The tater tots are stunning and the coffee is very good. There are also vegetarian and vegan options, but not a great deal. We did find that a lot of the vegetarian options came with avocado and we couldn't see how to remove it from our order, but not a big deal. We could have asked, but just cracked on.

I had the chorizo stack, which was lovely, but goes cold quick. My wife had the vegetarian breakfast, which was very nice.

You order and pay at your table, scan a QR code and this brings up the menu, where you can pay as well.

The atmosphere was nice, quite a cosy place really with seating downstairs and upstairs. I would highly recommend visiting if your local. For 2 mains, 1 side, a hot chocolate and cappuccino it came to around £30.
