Love Chocolate…Love So Cocoa!

So Cocoa

As a listing in a budget eating feature, So Cocoa is of limited practical use, but, blimey, it tastes good. A gourmet chocolatier, hidden up a side street in Mumbles, it also has a sideline in superb homemade and local, artisan-produced cakes. The pastry on its citron tart doesn’t so much melt as magically evaporate in the mouth. There are whopping whoopie pies, great brownies and, a little less impressively, serviceable carrot cake. My advice? Buy some cakes, grab a takeaway coffee elsewhere, find a bench down on the seafront, and enjoy. And if you’re not hungry, buy a cake for later. Mouthful for mouthful it may the best £2 you spend in Swansea.
• Cakes from £1.50. 28 Dunn’s Lane, Mumbles, sococoa.co.uk
