About Monopoly Cafe Bakery

Monopoly Cafe Bakery is a Greek bakery and cafe in Cardiff, at 50 Crwys Rd. The counter carries traditional Greek pastries and syrup sweets, with hand made sandwiches and cakes alongside. Breakfast includes the Monopoly Breakfast, which comes in a vegetarian version, and the menu lists both a Greek breakfast and an English one. The drinks list covers flat white, a wide choice of hot and cold coffee, freshly brewed pots of tea, and the Freddo espresso. Milkshakes and a detox shake are made to order. A retail section stocks Greek products, including olive oil, honey and jar sweets, so the shop doubles as a place to buy Greek groceries as well as eat and drink.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return for the Greek coffee, singling out the freddo espresso and iced Freddo cappuccino, with one calling the cappuccinos the best outside of Greece and another praising a flat white. Close behind is breakfast, especially the Monopoly breakfast and its vegetarian version, which regulars say never fail to meet expectations and which one reviewer calls very good value. Diners also mention an English breakfast, a detox shake, milkshakes, crispy pastries, sandwiches and cakes to take away. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, welcoming and helpful with recommendations, and several describe the prices as reasonable. One reviewer says the place feels authentic and like being back home. The only complaint is slow service on a very busy day, which that reviewer did not hold against the cafe. One reviewer adds that a pot of freshly brewed tea was just what the breakfast needed.
