A cosy room, run with care.
Cegin is built on a simple idea: put all the care into the food and the welcome. There is an all-season menu of sandwiches, baguettes, toasties and jacket spuds, and a daily-changing board of fresh, seasonal dishes chosen on what the local supply brings in. Come Wednesday there is always a proper curry on, served with rice. Whoever you are, working nearby or just passing, you are welcome.

Where to find us.
Cegin Café sits inside the Unite the Union building (Transport House) on Cathedral Road, a short walk from the city centre and handy for the NHS offices, Castlebridge and St David's Hospital.
“I eat at the Cegin most lunch times. Its relaxed environment is great. The chicken curry on Wednesday is fab, I've had it about five times and it's 10 out of 10. A great place for a quick bite during lunch.”
“The Cegin Café in the Unite building is a godsend. A lovely café with daily breakfast options, lunchtime sandwiches, toasties, jacket potatoes, and a daily-changing hot meal of the day. All are welcome.”
