What mdjohnst likes about Boswells Cafe:
Only popped in for a coffee with a couple of good friends. It was towards the end of the day so the place was very quiet. Despite that, we were greeted with a friendly smile and were given very nice coffee. The place was clean... View all feedback. What LightPacker795119 doesn't like about Boswells Cafe:
The venue is nice and the prices are reasonable. However, I was disappointed to see salads being prepared with bare fingers. It would be better to use tongs and gloves for hygiene purposes. View all feedback.

Boswells Café in Swindon offers a welcoming atmosphere with reasonable prices, making it a favorite spot for many diners. However, experiences can vary significantly. While some guests praise the friendly staff and generous breakfasts, others express concerns over food hygiene and preparation practices.
