Haystack Cafe Reviews Summary

Menu Selection and Variety

Pros:

• "So much on the menu it was difficult to choose what I wanted."

• "I made my own pancake stack with raspberry, white Choc, fudge, ice cream and whipped cream."
• "The only thing I wouldn't order again is the black forest pancake stack."
• "The tater tots are stunning and the coffee is very good. There are also vegetarian and vegan options."

Cons:

• "The only thing I wouldn't order again is the black forest pancake stack. At £10 it was a big disappointment."
• "There are also vegetarian and vegan options, but not a great deal."
• "Only criticism would be the home made hash browns were super greasy and fried solid."
• "I found that the menu was quite limited - basically breakfast or...breakfast."

Service and Staff Friendliness

Cons:

• "Sorry to say that I found this place a little more style than substance."
• "As usual my children wanted pancakes and I had the crumpet stack. Mine came out very quickly which was fine but we then waited a good 20min for the pancakes."
• "Ordered some breakfast rolls & coffee this morning. Not good at all."

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "The interior is kooky and quite charming, ordering food is via a QR code which loads up the app."
• "Great decor and atmosphere! Price was also fantastic."
• "A cosy cafe adorned with details such as hay, wooden logs, fireplace and a stand for your flat cap if you're wearing one."
• "The surroundings inside is nice but very cluttered."
• "Really enjoyed our meal's. Service was timely and the staff were very friendly."

Cons:

• "The food tasted incredible BUT flys everywhere upstairs, they landed on my food and I killed roughly 8 flys - was not impressed!!!"
• "To many tables for a small area, very claustrophobic, very dark, parking was a nightmare as we are disabled, I'm sorry to say we walked out."
• "The breakfasts are served in cool frying pans though!"
• "Disappointing breakfast. I'm really not fussy but the egg was overcooked, rosti like a brick and didn't like whatever the mushrooms were cooked in."
• "Ordered some breakfast rolls & coffee this morning. Not good at all."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Good selection, if slightly on the higher price range than our local cafe."
• "Fantastic pancakes though 4 is far too many and LOADS of syrup which I wish had come on the side. Delicious though."
• "Amazing food for a great price, portion sizes are massive."
• "Absolute must try if your in the area or live local. Breakfast and Pancakes were 1st class."
• "This place is a little gem of Swansea. The food and coffee are among the best you will find in Swansea."

Cons:

• "Good selection, if slightly on the higher price range than our local cafe."
• "American pancakes were not American. More like 'our' version of them. Maple syrup was golden syrup so ready disappointed. Expensive and definitely not worth it."
• "A nice ambiance and nice tasting food, but comes in at a hefty price with mediocre service."
• "Was over rated, the presentation of the food was really good, tasted just like a breakfast that you’d get in weather spoons for half the price! And was ridiculously over priced."
• "Walked in first of the queue, sat down and no menu on table. Turns out there was only 5 menus to what must have been 10 or so tables."
