The owner/ waiter was an extremely jovial chap.
This place is wonderful. He chatted with everyone who came in. Made them all welcome.
If you come to Swansea, sure sure visit this place.

Excellent service best ice cream in the world ? Better than Joe's plus you get more per portion. My daughter went to Venice and said the ice cream there wasn't even as good just go to skewen for Cressi's best ice cream and you can go to the canal to eat it if you really want to and pretend you're in Venice!!!

Very Expensive
Order large breakfast and a coffee, should of checked the price before ordering £17.40. Thought oh well must be something special for that price, nope just average. Incredibly overpriced. You can get more for paying less, elsewhere.

Service quick, great interior and clean.
The two young girls serving where friendly and quick.

Cresci?s Ice Cream and Breakfast Bar
Eating area like a Five Guys fever dream via the imagination of Dr. Seuss? Cat in the Hat.
Skewen.
It is a place.
With all the interesting facts about Skewen now out of the way, on with the review.
It was raining aardvarks and armadillos as I walked along the desolate streets of Skewen. Turkish barber after Turkish barber. There was a strange man dancing on the pavement as though a rabid ferret was loose in his baggy trousers. This is a desolate place... I could feel the dark forces grumbling like my bowels after Taco Tuesday with extra jalapeños.
I passed an odd shop selling eyeballs when I happened upon Cresci?s Café and Ice Cream Parlour. I decided I was hungry and took a little stroll inside.
I was stunned by the interior. Like an American diner crossed with the colour scheme of the Cat in the Hat?s milliner?s fever dream. It was quite a lot to take in; I had to catch my breath. Trippy.
There was a man, I assume the owner, working behind the counter. He took my order: a standard breakfast and a strong black coffee. Not a bad price. Reasonable, in fact.
Cresci?s has a little bit of everything. A shop, a newsagent, an ice cream bar, a café, a social area, and a small monkey sanctuary. Bit of everything.
I sat down, and the owner brought over my coffee. It was then that my stomach decided the dark forces were too strong, and I needed the bathroom.
This is where I have a problem: you have to ask for a key to unlock the bathroom. Reminded me of my day (singular) in boarding school.
Boarding school was a bit of a letdown for me. I wanted to learn skateboarding, surfboarding, boogie boarding, and waterboarding. Apparently, Eton College doesn?t offer such courses... disappointing. Especially that last one, given the number of British secret agents they?ve pumped out over the years.
Anyway, I did my business and sat down just in time to be served. The breakfast was okay. Nothing too special, and it wasn?t the hottest breakfast I?ve ever had. It was okay. Sausages were a little tough, and everything seemed lukewarm. The toast was lovely though, with fresh salted butter on it.
On the whole, not the worst experience; but certainly not the best.

(Come to think of it, the monkey sanctuary may have just been some of the locals.)
