About Metchy's Cafe & Bar

Metchy's Cafe & Bar is a fully licensed cafe in Cardiff, set at 1 Cathays Terrace and serving brunch and lunch with a coffee menu alongside. The breakfast list includes a full English with hash brown, a vegetarian breakfast built around veggie sausages, and Eggs Benedict with bacon, so meat eaters and vegetarians each have a cooked option. Because the cafe holds a full licence, a meal here can come with something other than coffee. Dogs are welcome, which makes it an easy stop for anyone out walking with a pet.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the main draw, especially the vegetarian breakfast, which reviewers call tasty, perfectly cooked and generous in portion, with veggie sausages singled out. The full English breakfast and eggs Benedict with bacon also earn praise, and one reviewer who orders eggs on toast likes the soft scrambled eggs and a crispy hash brown. Close behind is the friendly service, with several mentioning a welcoming server and an owner who was helpful. Coffee draws mixed reactions, from a good cup and a beautiful latte to one reviewer calling it genuinely poor. Smaller complaints include an avocado that could have been fresher, a bacon that did not suit one diner, and a Benedict sauce that was less flavoursome. One returning customer felt the food had become average and missed the Turkish breakfast. Students and travellers describe a calm space for reading, with hardly any wait and a decent glass of orange juice alongside the meal.

Featured reviews

  • Julia Ka
    “Sadly, this place isn’t what it used to be. The food was average, and the coffee was genuinely poor. I also really wish you’d bring back the Turkish breakfast. It was healthier, more interesting, and a much better option than what’s currently available.”
  • Florian Hegewald
    “Very nice Cafè with various options for Breakfast. Nice atmosphere. Lots of students there. The Owner was very nice and helpful.”
  • Luke
    “Only popped in by chance and ended up being one of our highlights of the trip. Lovely food and drink while we read books.”
  • Xashag
    “Very impressed with the quality and quantity of food, I got the veggie breakfast, the veggie sausages were nice and everything else was so delicious. Avocado definitely could've been fresher but despite that the meal was good. They give you a decent amount of orange juice rather than rationing it like some places.”
  • Marce S
    “The food was really good. Hardly any wait, which was a bonus on top of the quality of this place. And the service was great, the server/owner I believe as well was very friendly. I most certainly will be coming back next time i am in the area.”
