About Boo’s kitchen (Mumbles Cafe)
Behind an orange door on Woodville Rd, Boo's kitchen (Mumbles Cafe) is a vegetarian cafe and deli in the residential streets above the seafront in Swansea, a short walk from Mumbles Bay and the beach front. Homemade sourdough carries much of the menu, turning up as sourdough toast and as a sourdough bap. Breakfast is the core of the kitchen's output, and food service runs to set hours while drinks continue, with coffee served alongside cake and freshly squeezed juices poured through the day. Vegan and gluten free options are marked on the menu, so the cafe covers more than one kind of eater. Dogs are welcome, which suits walkers coming up from the beach. The cafe takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and seating is usually free on arrival. It opens daily during the daytime, with pay and display parking nearby that can be handled through an app instead of a ticket on the dashboard.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the sourdough, praising the homemade bread itself and the dishes built on it, including miso mushrooms on sourdough toast and a beef brisket sourdough bap described as full of flavour and very tender. Close behind are the breakfasts, with nicely cooked scrambled eggs, a hash brown one reviewer calls the best they have tasted, and dirty fries topped with brisket. Coffee, fresh squeezed juices, cake and blondies also draw praise, and one reviewer notes the vegan and gluten free choices. Diners describe the atmosphere as relaxed and chilled, with people working on laptops, and staff greeting them warmly. The one wish voiced is that food were served all day. A more lukewarm note comes from a reviewer who liked the setting, a short walk from the beach front, but gave it a middling score. Several mention plenty of seats on arrival, and one returned for a second day of breakfasts, planning to keep coming back.
