About Killay Cafe

Killay Cafe sits in a shopping precinct in Killay, serving breakfast, lunches and sandwiches from Unit 3 in Swansea. Griddle-cooked breakfasts anchor the menu alongside bacon butties, omelettes, an American burger, lasagne and chicken curry, with wine and beer also on offer. The kitchen and counter are run by two staff at a time, one taking orders and pouring coffee while the other cooks and clears tables. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. Payment is cash only, though a cash point at the nearby Co-op covers anyone caught short. Seating runs both indoors and outside, and dogs are welcome throughout the seating area.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what most reviewers come for, described as tasty, freshly cooked and generous in portion, with one diner calling it outstanding and not greasy and another praising a delivered breakfast in good cartons. Close behind is the coffee, called great by several. An excellent omelette with salad and chips and an American burger with all the trimmings also get singled out. Reviewers mention friendly staff, comfortable seating inside or out, and a dog made welcome. Service speed divides opinion. One diner was served unbelievably quickly with only two staff on, while others report a very long wait for a pot of tea and a mediocre bacon sandwich. Two reviewers describe slimy, undercooked eggs. One table ordering large breakfasts and bacon butties says a breakfast arrived missing with no word from the server, and another says the last plate reached the table after everyone else had finished eating.

    “Visited whilst working in the area and didn’t look that busy. Placed order for 3 large breakfasts, 2 bacon buttys. With drinks. The wait time for food to arrive was ridiculous and when the guy brought the food over it was minus 1 of the large breakfasts! Nothing said by the guy, Thinking this would follow shortly I waited! 5+ mins passed and I had to ask about the 3rd breakfast to then be told it’s coming shortly the griddle is only small to cook so many things! Finally got the fifth breakfast! Let me say the wait was so not worth it! Food wasn’t very good at all eggs not cooked (very snotty) I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.”

    “Dont go to Killay Cafe if you are tight for time... 20 mins to produce a pot of tea and a mediocre bacon sandwich!”

    “In response to the owners response regarding my recent review! Firstly you wasn’t busy! There were empty tables! May of had previous customers leftovers etc on them, maybe have more than just 2 people working would help. Communication is key in customer relations and the guy serving/bringing orders to tables lacked this in more ways then one. Regarding waiting time, it was totally unacceptable to wait the time we did let alone one persons order being brought out a further 10 minutes after the first 4! By this time the others had finished I was eating mine alone, made me feel awkward. In response to your cooking instructions, the egg was overdone itself from the (egg ring) used to cook the egg but on the top was slimy and snotty. Worse place I’ve e er ordered from and for the price you’d certainly expect more! PS, whilst there a lady came in three times just to ask how long she’d got to wait for her coffees. Avoid this place if I was you. Hopefully they improve”
