A new Parisian-style cafe is opening in the heart of Mumbles which promises to offer customers a cosy and continental coffee experience even over the autumn and winter months. Coffee Barker, currently a popular coffee shop in central Cardiff, is expanding to the west with a new venue in Mumbles Road, Swansea.
It is the sister business of Gin & Juice Mumbles, and is run by the same people who operate The Grill Restaurant. You can keep up to date with the latest Swansea news by signing up to the local newsletter here.
It will be an espresso-bar cafe with leather seating for around a dozen customers inside, while outside there will be an additional 30 seats under giant awnings with heaters. The new cafe opens for the first time on Wednesday (September 28), when everyone will be offered a free cup of coffee to be drank on the premises or taken away.

“We’re excited to bring our unique brand of Coffee Barker hospitality to Mumbles.,” said Stephen Barker, founder of Coffee Barker. “We have a great location in the heart of Mumbles village. Between the coffee bar and its street terrace, we have created great spaces for people to stop in for a quick coffee while they’re out and about or sit outside and watch the world go by.
"And the terrace is on the sunny side of the street, so it gets the sun all day when the weather’s good - but we’ve also got huge awnings so our outside seating can be used all year round under the heaters. It’s also perfect for a continental glass of wine or a beer in the afternoon. And we are 100% dog friendly too.
"This is our third business on this site, alongside Gin & Juice and our newly opened rooftop restaurant, The Grill. Mumbles is a great place to do business, we really believe in the quality of this beautiful location and we’re looking forward to serving all of the dog-walkers, commuters, locals and visitors who will pass Coffee Barker every day.”
