The Junction has a really interesting menu and blackboard specials, with good vegetarian choices and fair trade organic choices.

Some are a bit wobbley so you have to be careful not to upset your drinks. The decor is also blue and fawn and quite attractive with pictures around the walls. There is waitress service and quite a lot of choice. Everything is freshly made and good quality coffee too, including lattes and cappucinos. You can choose different types of breads and fillings for sandwiches, have them hot or cold, and they come with extras like salads, sweet corn, coleslaw and/or crisps. Several hot meals and dishes of the day available - see menu, or the blackboard for 'dishes of the day'. Very reasonable prices too. They also offer buffet catering and other services. The uni-sex toilet was clean and there were some nice touches like flowers in a vase and scented soap in a dispenser.

Cafe Twocann is a recent addition to Swansea's up and coming cafe culture. Situated in one of the…read moreoriginal Dock buildings in the SA1 regeneration area, the cafe retains it's historic feel but with modern comforts. A fabulous place to come at any time of day, the cafe caters to a comfortable prolonged breakfast/brunch with delicious luxury salmon and eggs benedict as well as simpler fare. There is plenty of choice throughout the menu, kept simple but allowing customers to choose their choice of fillings, style between breads, jacket potatoes, salads and omelettes etc. Breads go from simple white to spelt and cornbread, delicious and generous portions. The owner specialises in mini homemade welshcakes instead of the ubiquitous bulk bought individual biscuits accompanying pots of teas. Cakes and puddings stand out along with speciality teas and coffees.

Returned to this cafe today for the first time in years! It's just inside the market in Llanelli…read morebut is a fair size with many tables for two, four or more inside and a few more outside (in the market hall). It's pleasant and well looked after and the tables all have tablecloths. The menu is fairly basic (and inexpensive) but there are 'specials' on the blackboard in addition to the plastic menus on the tables. You can have various cooked meals including some vegetarian choices (like the cauliflower cheese on today), plus snacks like pitta bread with various fillings and salad, toasties, baked potatoes and cheese or beans on toast. 'Instant' tea and coffee is available, plus cakes and some desserts. The food was freshly made and served very quickly considering how busy it was.

There are so many excellent and imaginative, freshly prepared meals and snacks on offer and something for everyone, including good vegetarian options. Paninis, pancakes, pizzas, pastas, spiced potatoes, salads. If you don't want a full meal you can have a fried egg sandwich (free range too) or one of the others on offer! There are gorgeous desserts, cakes, coffees and smoothies, and it's also licensed and sells wine and beer. The cafe is upstairs from the information centre but there is a lift for easy access, and there are large round tables inside or a huge balcony with wooden picnic tables overlooking the forest. Although they were busy, the service was quite quick. We'll be back soon! UPDATE SEPT A bit disorganised today and not up to the previous standard - forgot part of our order and then a bit overcooked, but I won't take stars off till we've seen what it's like the next time, could have just been an off-day and they were rushed off their feet, to be fair.

Tastefully furnished with comfortable couches and the more standard table & chairs, place all subtely lit, windows screened with white curtains and floors are laminated wood. The venue is ideally situated in the centre of town opposite the Tinopolis TV studios. Nearby to Alitalia (italian restaurant), Sher Khan (Indian) and Lolek Delcicatessen (Polish). With Avos own mediterranean fare i.e.salads Llanelli will have the beginnings of a burgeoning cafe quarter considering its neighbouring food venues. The clientele were a mixture of families incl.kids, young couples and old age pensioners. The menu offers cooked breakfasts(approx. £4), shared platters (£8-9), sandwiches (£3.65), panninis (£4-5), mediterranean salads (£5), sweet things/pastries (£2-3) and an extensive range of coffee styles with various flavourings (price varies). Plus there is a specials board (av. price £4) with things like soup, bologanise/pasta, chilli etc. Also nice to see a Welsh influence on the menu too with bara brith and the Welsh share platter in amongst the Greek & Caesar salads etc. On my visit I opted for the full breakfast(£4.95)which incl. black pudding, eggs, beans, sausage, bacon, grilled tomatoes & toast washed down with one of their speciality coffees (caramel flavoured cappucino at £2.15). There maybe other cheaper places in Llanelli for breakfast but this was well prepared, had high quality items and was non-greasy. The caramel cappucino has just that wow factor in a word (recommended fo those with a sweet tooth or enjoy a sugar rush with a caffeine burst). Sevice was well above standard and was both friendly, inviting & curteous in addition to being prompt & helpful. The venue does have disabled access, toilets, nearby parking. Would highly recommend this place to a friend or family member as I feel it raised the benchmark for other competing cafes in town with the overall product it promotes. Well done Avo.

There are tables outside both doors, so you can sit outside in the summer (or in the winter if you need to smoke!) The service is friendly and pretty quick. Prices are reasonable, and the menu is standard coffee shop fare - sandwhiches, panninnis etc. There are some lovely homemade soups on at the moment, which make a nice change for a winter lunchtime. They also have pies and other specials on at the mo. After trying most of the bridgend coffee shops during a lunchbreak Bauhaus ranks as one of the best in Bridgend. It's nice that independent coffee shops are still going strong in Bridgend - you definately get more friendly service here than in a typical chain coffee place.
