Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the main draw at this Cardiff cafe, with reviewers praising an all day breakfast that arrives piping hot and "spot on", and several calling it good value. Close behind is the friendly, welcoming staff, who are described as chatty, smiling and willing to go beyond their duties, including with a reviewer's sister's health conditions and with a child dining there. Reviewers also name pancakes, a cheese and onion toastie and the coffee, which one calls the best they have tasted and another calls very good quality. Several mention how long they have been returning, some for years, and describe the food as consistently fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked, even for a fussy eater. A few note the place is clean and that service is fast, with one saying the wait at busy times is no more than ten minutes. No recurring complaints appear. Reviewers repeatedly close on one detail: a staff member who always remembers the little details and knows a regular's order without being asked.

“Staff very welcoming and smiley, you can tell they take pride in their work and seem to genuinely enjoy their job which you don’t get to see much these days. The atmosphere was nice & chilled and certainly uplifted by the lovely staff. Great food - 2 large meals and 2 coffees for under £20, you can’t go wrong! Will be back for sure ☺️”
