Beach Hut Cafe

the hot chocolate here has a reputation that tends to spread the old-fashioned way, word of mouth along the seafront. beach hut cafe sits right on mumbles pier, which means you're drinking whatever you've ordered with the bristol channel somewhere in your eyeline, and that context changes things in a way that's hard to explain but easy to feel. the crowd tends to be a mix of locals walking the headland and visitors who stumbled onto the pier and stayed longer than planned. specialty coffee in a spot this exposed to the elements is a genuine pleasure, not a given. if you're making the trip out to sa3, time it for a flat white before the afternoon wind picks up.
