Coffee Denn

It is a little known fact that Sir Isaac Newton, one of the smartest people to ever walk the earth, devoted a third of his life to the pursuit of alchemy.
Of course, turning base metals into something completely different was beyond even this genius.
But residing in the kitchen at Coffee Denn, Mumbles, is someone who may just of cracked it.
For what surely started out as simple base ingredients — egg and cheese — arrived in front of me in a material form I’ve never come across before.
A flying saucer orb with a dark, oily crust which gave way to a polystyrene rubber compound that should take the interest of Bridgestone, Michelin and Dunlop should they be looking to develop a lighter, longer lasting tyre for use in heavy industry. The cheese-​like substance providing extra grip, if the chef can work on a tread pattern, they’re onto something big.
Light as air but durable in the extreme. Albumem and yolk magically transformed into something with the mouth feel of a Brillo Pad.
My ‘omelette’ was accompanied by some nachos and a salad containing a quartered up orange. I dare say if there was some Marmite and a can of tuna going spare in the store cupboard they would have happily lobbed them on the plate too. My dish was like staring into a time warp. It could easily have starred in an episode of Heartbeat.
The Mumbles is a beautiful place, set as it is on Swansea Bay. But if you ever need to make a pit stop at Coffee Denn (there is surprisingly little choice), avoid the hot food here at all costs here and stick to their pretty array of cakes and scones.

Café’s like this are dying out in Britain, and there’s a reason for it, they’re not quaint just dated. the menu food on offer is rather boring, think sandwiches, cups of tea, coffee, and of course English breakfasts! I’ll be fair it’s not a dingy caf, but I found the place quite depressing. The food tasted bland, and the milkshake was simply strawberry milk. The presentation wasn’t good either (very plain old looking mugs and plates). If you fancy good food and a cute café I recommend going over the road to Treasure (which has one out the back)!

This is a nice little café to visit while shopping in Mumbles. It’s quite comfortable with several sofas in one corner You can have coffee and a cake, a toasted crumpet, or something more substantial. They do toasted sandwiches and paninis, jacket potatoes, and Christmas dinners at the time of writing. Prices are reasonable and the food is good!
