I cannot recommend Bluebell enough. It is a lovely cosy cafe with high quality food and coffee. The bread is to die for! It’s homemade and very thick slices. The poached eggs are always cooked to perfection and there is always a generous amount of avocado. Due to food intolerances, I always ask for adjustments and nothing is ever too much. The coffee tastes great and such friendly staff. I always look forward to coming here for food and a coffee to start my weekend. More...

Nice cozy place to have breakfast / brunch and some tea. Found it by chance driving through the town. Appreciated that they put the hollandaise sauce on the side as requested on my Eggs Benny Bagel.

📌 Wayne's Eats - Local Food Blogger for South Wales (Instagram/Facebook Review) Did you know that Afternoon tea is said to have originated in England in the mid-19th century and has now become one of the most popular afternoon activities in the UK ☕ 🥪 Now on this occasion it was actually Mrs Eats 🐘@elestration and her lovely friend who had the pleasure of visiting this amazing place, I was unfortunately away on a business trip and to say I was jealous would be understatement 😅 📍@bluebellcoffeeuk This particular Afternoon Tea comes from the super popular Bluebell Coffee in Swansea who have mastered the art of teatime. 📌 If you want to try this out for yourself well it will only cost you £21.95 Per person 😉 ➡️ Today's Menu: 🍓 TOP TIER Scone, Clotted Cream & Strawberry Jam SWEET TIER Battenberg, Chocolate Mousse, Bakewell Tart, Greek Lemon Cupcake 🥪 SANDWICHES & SAVOURIES Chicken Souvlaki Brioche, Ham & Cheese Croissant, Cheese & Chutney Sandwich, Mini Mediterranean Quiche, Greek Spanakopita Pastry. ☕ DRINKS Looseleaf Welsh Brew Tea or Speciality Americano Coffee by Allpress Coffee Roasters (Prosecco & upgrades available) 🍽️ Review: 💃 Mrs Eats: "I must say the team are absolutely lovely and most of all, passionate about their food. I loved the greek origins behind some of the savoury food including the chicken Souvlaki Brioche which was delicious and a unique addition to an afternoon tea 👌 We loved all of the cakes, my favourite being the scone it was so soft. Everything tasted delicious and I would recommend it to anyone who's local, it's not to be missed and it makes for a lovely scrumptious lunch with a friend or family. P.S thank you for the cute table sign!" ❤️ More...

When we arrived it was so noisy that you could not hold a conversation properly. There was a baby shower party in one half of the room. Lots of cheering, clapping and noise...which you'd expect at a party but not when you pop in for coffee and cake. We both felt that you should not have opened to the public on this occasion. It was chaotic. To add to it...the food orders were being yelled out above the noise. It was a horrible experience and atmosphere. To make things worse, right next to us before we'd even finished, staff began moving and dragging tables and chairs....near kitchen window, causing more noise and distribution. Obviously preparing for another party as balloons were brought in. There was no thought or consideration for your non party customers. It was horrendous and we couldn't wait to get out of there. You maybe need to consider closing to the public when you have parties....because take it from us....the two don't mix and it doesn't work. More...

My girlfriend and 4 month old had an amazing experience at pizza night in Bluebell. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the pizza was absolutely superb. The crust was perfect, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The restaurant had a cozy ambiance and also a night time Cool vibe, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend trying it out! And just small things like getting dips in dishes that actually last until the end of the food. More...

The most horrible experience i ever had in a coffee house. Very disorganised! The order was totally messed up. I've ordered pancakes with honey and Berry(i clearly specified that i don't want chocolate) and avocado on toast with scrambled egg, feta and hallumi cheese. The girl who took my order she repeat after me what i want and it was fine. But when the order came everything was totally different, the pancakes was with chocolate, i sent it back and she came with the same pancakes but with some berries on top and she told me that the black sauce from the pancakes its the juice from the beries but it was chocolate!! I sent it back again the third time finally she came with the right one. The taste was bad, a lot of backing powder in it! The order with avocado, she came just with two pieces of toast and some avocado on top and nothing else. I sent it back and after she came , something from that plate was still missing, the third time she came with that plate finally it was the right one but the scrambled egg was very raw! Not recommended! More...

It's Saturday ballet which can only mean one thing, exploring cafes. Today I thought I'd give the Bluebell cafe a try. I had a really warm welcome from the staff, the cafe has a really nice relaxed vibe, it wasn't too busy on arrival with a good few seats to choose from. The menu was really good with plenty of choice. I went for the Bluebell breakfast which has the unique twist of Greek potatoes added. I can honestly say that this was the best breakfast I've had for a while, everything was fresh and tasty, the latte was piping hot (as requested) and quite smooth. Throughout the staff were really friendly, you cannot fault the customer service. Bring on next Saturday because I will definitely be back!! More...

It's a lovely atmosphere every time I visit. I love coming in for coffee and cake. All the staff members are very friendly especially Maria who is always so helpful and has such a good personality. She makes the time to talk with customers in between the busy rushes, even engaging with the dogs and young children.

My boyfriend and I stopped off for a delicious vegetarian breakfast this morning. Each item was cooked perfectly. I especially loved the flavour to the beans and tomatoes. The cafe was very clean and tidy and the autumnal decorations were lovely! Thank you to our server Bev and the friendly service from the owner Sophia. We have also had takeaway pizza night here before which was also very lovely! More...

Me and my partner order our breakfast from here quite often and the bacon sausage and porched egg have always been beautiful, however couple of times we ordered it now hasn’t been the best I normally order the porched egg on toast but past couple times I’ve had it the egg is not porched it’s boiled and I don’t want boiled egg on toast , especially when your paying £20 you want what your paying for.

Called in on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Steady flow of customers in and out but tables available. Interior is bright and airy, and there is a small seating area on the raised walkway outside. The cooked breakfast we had was excellent. Freshly cooked with plenty on the plate. Toast was particularly enjoyable - freshly sliced bread. Some kids at the next table had pancakes which also looked delicious. Would definitely visit again. Kid-friendliness: Several families with children in when we visited. All seemed to be having a good time. Parking: Only limited on street parking outside. Kid-friendliness: Several families with children in when we visited. All seemed to be having a good time.

Excellent selection of bites to eat, to satisfy the need for a "light bite", through to platefuls for the very hungriest among us! Lovely array of teas and juices to accompany your meal, and a very homely and cosy feel inside. The staff are all wonderful and very helpful, but it does get busy around typical lunchtimes so there may be a short wait at peak times for a table. That alone speaks volumes for Bluebell - never disappointing! Parking: Parking can be tricky, so will need to be on one of the streets adjacent to Bluebell. Have always managed to park nonetheless, but may mean that it's slightly less accessible for those with accessibility issues, and a set of steps to enter the café. Not an issue at all otherwise.

What’s your signature dish?
Now that's a hard one!! As far as buffets go - our Mediterranean pasta salad is very popular! As is the humble sandwich - with our homemade fillings, they are always the first thing to be finished!! If you're looking for something a bit more special, our hog roasts are to die for!
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We realise that every guest has specific needs. We are happy to work with our client's specific needs and individual requirements. Great food is the way to people's hearts! If we make you happy, you'll do the same for us :)
What do you love most about your job?
We come from a Greek family (raised in Wales), so we have always been brought up around great food! Quite simply, we love feeding people!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Again, feeding people! Have you seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"? It's such an accurate film!! Greeks love to eat...but also to feed people! Being Greek, what better to start than a restaurant/catering business!?
Why should our clients choose you?
Because we are a very professional, family run and very friendly local business. And because we will leave you with a big smile on yours and your guests faces :) :)

We can cater for any event up to 500 people. Hot or cold. Anything from 3 course meals, to hog roasts and cold buffets.
