HQ Urban Kitchen
The cup
Social enterprise cafe run by Urban Foundry inside Llys Glas, the former Swansea Central Police Station built between 1912 and 1913, serving specialty coffee and homemade food with locally sourced ingredients. Vegan and gluten-free options run throughout the menu; dogs are welcome and the building's original civic architecture gives the space a distinctive character.
