Swell has been a part of the Avalon cafe scene for years however I've only just realised what a…read morelittle treasure this place is. It's a pretty simple layout with almost bench seating across one side and a few table sprawling onto the street. Clearly everyone else knew about this place because there is always a a couple people hanging around. They serve allpress beans and dish up quite a good cuppa for 'burbs coffee'- in fact it's the best coffee I've found in Avalon so far. I came here after a post beach lunch and went for the spinach, goat cheese, cherry tomato and avocado on rye toast which was pretty awesome- a solid half a star of this rating is attributed to that super tasty rye bread alone. They also do fresh juices- I tried the pineapple, mint, ginger and something juice which was pretty tasty. They staff were really chilled and friendly and the guy didn't care at all that I changed my order like 3 times. They were also going above and beyond to help give a recommendation to a couple not from around here about a nice restaurant in the area. Really enjoyed this place and kicking myself I didn't discover it 10 years ago!

Having said that there seems to be plenty of space for all types of patron. The menu has some nice selections - the chrorizo beans and poached eggs was rather fine as was the chicken panini. The owner always asks me if I would like a glass of wine no matter what time of day I'm in there. Yet to take him up on that and also yet to go to the Thurs/Fri wine bar sessions from 5.30-8.30.

I would've given this place 4 stars, but the egg & prosciutto sandwich is DELICIOUS--soft bun with a fried egg, prosciutto, tomato, spinach, and some kind of amazing aioli-type sauce. So it deserves 5 stars. Will definitely visit this place every time I'm in Newport!
