Phenomenal - Edit
The doughnuts are absolutely phenomenal! Such a large choice of flavours, I had cinnamon sugar and a pistachio, but they also had biscoff, salted caramel, pink sprinkles, chocolate and so much more! Also got a roast dinner panini which was delicious, the gravy on it made it a top tier lunch.

Gorgeous doughnuts - Edit
Stumbled upon this little gem in the indoor market in Swansea today. Incredible selection of doughnuts and pastries to enjoy with a hot drink. We met the lovely owner, David and Steph one of the members of staff and had a nice chat with them both. We will most definitely be back any time we're in Swansea :)

Insanely good donuts - Edit
The donuts are huge, good value, a variety to choose from, and seriously tasty. Hands down some of the best vegan food I've ever had (shoutout to the blueberry donut and the cinnamon sugar donut). #Veganuary

Doughnuts and Treats - Edit
I have yet to find a doughnut flavour we have not enjoyed! Definitely worth visiting here if you're in Swansea. The doughnuts are massive but they also do hot drinks, hot sandwiches, savoury and sweet pastries and cookies.

A friendly market welcome - Edit
Great little cafe with seating in the indoor market. We arrived just in time for cake lol. Also took a donut away for later. The owner is a lovely chap, really friendly as we’re the other two people there when we popped in.

Cheese and onion pasty - Edit
I can’t remember the last time I ate a pasty/pastie. They had a cheese and onion one and it was so cheesy. Loved it and was worth the wait. I had a soy flat white which was served in a big cup which is pleasing to see. I also had a chocolate and caramel donut and the caramel was the most authentic caramel flavour I’ve had in a sweet.
Read moreThere were tables inside and a couple outside in the market area. I’m so glad we found it. Service was friendly too.

OMG the doughnuts! - Edit
Finally managed to get here with the family today. We had a "sausage" roll, pasty, and two doughnuts (blueberry and a raspberry). The doughnuts were out of the world, this may be dangerous for my waistline 😂

Definitely delicious - Edit
Lovely vibe in the cafe itself but also great for grabbing something on the go. The main draw will be the doughnuts which are yummy and indulgent. The cookies are great too. The pastries are also very tasty as are the bagels. A must visit if you’re in town.

Great place - Edit
Small little hot drinks and dessert shop that seats 10 people on 5 small tables. Have a variety of mylk options: Oats, Pea, Soy, Coconut, Almond. They just opened 3 weeks ago and I had so many recommend this place. They have a variety of doughnuts and cakes they make in-house.
Read moreThey plan to offer a few savoury options in the future like savoury doughnuts and sandwiches.
I bought 4 doughnuts ( Chocolate with and without sprinkles, pistachio and blueberry. I have tried the Chocolate sprinkles doughnut, it's very filling that I'd probably prefer half the size. Not a fan of sprinkles but that is a preference. Liked the Chocolate spread tasted like a nutela. The dough was good airy texture but tasted slightly savoury, a little less salt might do it.
I have yet to try the rest so will come back & give my feedback.
I tried the chai latte with Oat milk which was nice and my friend tried it with pea milk which was also nice. The Pea milk is the only only GF option.
David and Stef were wonderful and friendly. They are so passionate about the cafe. Have wonderful smiles and warm and welcoming. Happy 5 yr wedding Anniversary to David and Barbara!
I had a nice chat with David about the inspiration to Nonna's which means Granny in Italian from his wife's side. His stepdaughter was the inspiration with her journey of being vegetarian and vegan as a teen and the challenges she went through getting vegan options. I found it so heartfelt and admired this close knit family bond. David though not vegan (yet) took the stand to go vegetarian before opening Nonna's as he wanted to be an example that he himself doesn't eat meat. I think that is just wonderful and is a great start.
David is super excited that he is looking to Open a second Nonna's and is is search for a venue.
I'll come again to try the croissants and savoury options.
