Caffi Nini

Caffi Nini is a relaxed, community-oriented café located on Pontardulais Road in Penllergaer, nestled within the grounds of an animal care centre. It’s a spot where locals and visitors alike come for a straightforward but satisfying coffee and cake break, with an emphasis on supporting the animals nearby.

The café’s setting gives it a rural, unhurried feel—ideal for those looking for a quiet moment away from the busier parts of Swansea. Outdoor seating is available, making it a nice place to visit on mild days, especially if you’re accompanied by children or dogs, both welcomed here with little fuss. The adjacent park is a notable draw for families, featuring play areas and a small pavilion offering preloved children’s books and toys—a detail that adds a thoughtful local touch to visits.

Inside, the atmosphere is casual and accessible, with ample parking that includes easy access for wheelchair users. The staff come across as friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which makes the café a comfortable place to linger, whether you’re catching up with friends or taking a break during a walk.

On the menu, the focus is on coffee and homemade cakes. Locals mention the quality of the cappuccinos and the fresh, satisfying scones—perfect for an afternoon treat. While the food selection is modest, it suits the café’s role as a light stop rather than a full dining destination. Free WiFi means it can also serve as an informal workspace for those wanting to settle for a while.

Caffi Nini is best suited for anyone looking for a calm, welcoming spot with a gentle countryside vibe. Families with young children, dog walkers, and those connected to the local community or the animal centre itself find it especially fitting. Weekday afternoons or weekends with dry weather offer the most pleasant conditions to enjoy both the café and the outdoor space.
