Lovely desserts - Edit
It’s not the most amazing vegan junk food I’ve ever had, but I ate here a few times in Swansea and always enjoyed it. The cakes were always my favourite - particularly the lemon meringue pie, which was one of my favourites before being vegan.

Monster shake and lovely chips - Edit
We came here for a very early dinner as there aren’t many vegan options on a Saturday night. When we asked what was in the vegan shake and we heard marshmallows and whipped cream, that was enough to say yea! I got the mushy peas and tofish and chips. My partner got the poutine. The chips and mushy peas and shakes were good. I liked the tofish but it wasn’t as fishy as I’ve had recently. Still nice though. There are plenty of seats inside.

Hearty portions, friendly staff - Edit
Delicious vegan meal (Tofu fish and chips, and mushroom and 'bacon' gnocchi) with generous portions. We arrived 20 minutes before closing but staff were more than happy to accommodate. Great prices, including on the big selection of vegan wines.
Read moreOnly downside is they aren't open 7 days a week, however the lovely staff were happy to recommend a whole list of places to find great vegan food in Swansea on their closed days!

Lovely lunch - Edit
First time visiting Canteen 18 today for a late lunch. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Good selection to choose from on the menu. I had the Gnocchi with mushrooms which came with a salad. It was soo tasty and filling. The wine I chose was lovely aswell ( i had to have 2 glasses..lol ).
Read moreI really liked the decor and it was really comfortable place to sit and chill out for an hour. I didn't think it was too expensive either for what I had. I will definitely return very soon!!
Pros: Great choice of food and drink , Friendly staff, Lovely relaxed vibe
Cons: I can't think of any cons!

Vegan but plain - Edit
This place is great for drinks, the hot choc is awesome and the coffee tasted great. My pasty was very average no flavour, my sister's food could have been a little bigger for the price. My friends buddha bowl wad very plain with only a cooked veggie bit and salad with rice. We felt the food could have all been better. Not worth the price in pur opinion for food. Drinks were a success but i wish i bought food from ezy vegan in town instead.
Read morePros: All vegan, Good drinks, Nice place to hang
Cons: Expensive for what you get , Lacks flavour
