The venue is located at The College Inn and has been created by Ghana-born Adisa Amanor-Wilks, who has lived in West Wales for more than a decade.
The site will offer West African dishes including jollof rice with chicken, goat, fish or vegan options; red red, a black-eyed bean stew with fried plantains; and traditional soups including light soup, okra soup and groundnut soup served with chicken, goat or fish.
Desserts will include Chin Chin, described as a traditional West African snack of fried donut bites.
Dishes will use locally sourced products and will be available for both takeaway and to eat-in alongside conventional café items.
The venue will also feature a gallery showcasing African, and Welsh artwork.
Baobab Cymru will employ three staff and will launch on 17 April.
The venture takes its name from the African baobab tree, described as a symbol of community, resilience and nourishment.
Baobab Cymru will operate bilingually in Welsh and English and will be open across the week.
“This is about bringing two cultures I love together in one space,” says Amanor-Wilks.
“West African food, Welsh hospitality, and a place where people can gather, eat well and feel welcome. African roots. Welsh home.”
