A much-loved cafe in the heart of Mumbles is closing its doors this weekend for the final time. Pippins has been running for five years and wrote on social media earlier today, Wednesday, November 23, to reveal the news that it will be shutting up shop for the final time on Saturday, November 26.
The Swansea dog-friendly cafe has been run and owned by Pippa Stone, 50, for the past four years - it would be five years in February - after she took over Coffee Den - a cafe she worked at - from its previous owners. But now, due to the rising cost of living, bills and financial repercussions following water damage some years ago, in which she had to fork out thousands, she is having to close Pippins.
Unveiling this news via social media, the cafe told its customers: "It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Pippins will be closing its doors for the last time on the 26th November. We would like to thank all our customers for your support over the last few years."
