Great vegan cafe, busy street so parking may be an issue, but car parks near. - Edit
Found this cafe in my endeavour to eat more plant-based. It's a clean and modern cafe where the staff were really helpful. I just wanted a quick take away so I asked for perhaps some curry and chips, that wasn't on the menu that day but they said, 'how about a chicken burger or some barbeque spicy ribs', I had to just double check and ask and they reassuringly confirmed it was all vegan.
Read moreI went for the vegan ribs, and it came with coleslaw, not being a fan of coleslaw I was disappointed at first but I tried it and it wasn't bad, it certainly didn't make me feel sick after eating it like regular cs, probably as a result of it being vegan. The rib, however, was different to anything I had tasted before but I enjoyed. Almost like a donor kebab texture, without it being an animal obviously, I'm not sure if it was soy or perhaps tofu. The sauce was very nice as well, was really happy with the service and the food. Will be going back another time if I'm in the area
Parking may be an issue as its a busy street but I'm sure there are car parks located fairly near.

Brilliant Vegan Food - great for non-vegans too! - Edit
So thankful this place exists in Swansea. Delicious food, with a great menu for vegans and non-vegans alike. Healthy options available as well as veganized dishes like Tofish and Chips, Fib rolls, Non-chicken burger, Vegan breakfast with scrambled tofu, toasties and more. The desserts are to die for, try the brownie with peanut butter ice-cream and your life will never be the same again! One of the best things about coming here, aside from the great food, is the friendly welcome and good conversation. I go as much as I can, for coffee and cake or full blown lunch blow out. It's always worth it and I'd rather spend my ££s here than anywhere else in Swansea.
Read morePros: Friendly people / great atmosphere, Varied menu and everything tastes great!, The desserts!!!!

Friendly owner and great food - Edit
I have been going to Canteen 18 since Fliss (the owner) opened last year. She is fully committed to producing great vegan food. There is a wide range of food available from breakfasts to lunches and occasional special evening sessions. The Christmas meal was outstanding. Fliss bakes her own cakes and bread and I’m sure pretty much everything else is produced by her. Except the excellent ice cream ( try peanut butter ice cream). She also has a stock of vegan essentials and bags. A nice ambience in the restaurant and a very friendly host.

Fantastic vegan cafe! - Edit
We love Canteen 18. Great menu and lovely staff. Service is excellent. Love the decor and we bought a couple of things from the little shop area as well. I really like that the shopping bags are made from organic cotton. They stock Ice Green ice cream which is my favourite ice cream ever! Definitely worth a visit!
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Lovely staff, Ice Green ice cream!

Great selection - Edit
This cute vegan café is a lovely place for lunch. There was a wide selection of foods - between a group of us we had a falafel wrap, spicy "ribs", a zen plate (like mezze with falafel and houmous) and a sausage roll and all were really nice. There were chocolate brownies and ice cream for dessert as well as a Monster Milkshake! Definitely recommend for a nice lunch.

disappointing - Edit
Considering the vast amount of vegan options around in the area, I found canteen 18 to be overpriced and bland.
Read moreThe breakfast was disappointing, to add a bit of avocado alone was about £1.50! And again it was just so bland and boring for how much they are charging.
I returned again to sample something else and give it another shot but can say it will be my last.
However, it’s great that Swansea has the option of a totally vegan menu and my review should not deter people from going, I just feel there are better vegan options nearby.
