I want to tell you about a bakery in Swansea that is making life a whole lot sweeter for the local vegan community and beyond. Rhannu Bakery is the delicious creation of Niamh, a self-taught pastry wizard bringing vegan bakes and laminated treats to the people of South Wales.
Read more below.
Tucked away in the back Sloth Coffee, Rhannu Bakery is a micro bakery with a big heart.
Every single item that leaves Niamh’s kitchen is 100 percent vegan and made from scratch by her own hands. The dedication is immense. She’s taught herself how to perfect notoriously tricky vegan pastries, putting in years of time, energy and practice. That’s the kind of commitment that deserves all the love and support in the world.
When you look around and see the lack of proper vegan pastries in most places, it really highlights just how important businesses like Rhannu are. People like Niamh are pioneers in their local communities. They are doing the hard graft, often at great personal cost, to make sure their towns and cities have compassionate and tasty food choices. It’s not easy and it’s not always glamorous but it is important.
I want to say a huge congratulations to Niamh for launching Rhannu Bakery and for having the courage and passion to bring something so special to Swansea. Independent vegan businesses are the backbone of our movement and they deserve to be celebrated, shouted about and supported every chance we get.
If you’re anywhere near Swansea, get yourself to Sloth Coffee and grab a treat from Rhannu. And if you’re not nearby, give them a follow online and spread the word. The future of food is kind and people like Niamh are leading the way.

I’m lucky enough to have Rhannu on my doorstep (although my waistline doesn’t thank me!). Seriously the best place in Swansea.
