About New Tuckin
Breakfast runs through into the afternoon at New Tuckin, a cafe on Whitchurch Road in Cardiff, where the cooked plate brings together bacon, sausages, eggs and toast. Jacket potatoes come seasoned and can be ordered with salad, giving a lighter option alongside the lunch dishes. The coffee side covers cappuccino and latte, with a caramel cappuccino among the choices. Tables are taken on a walk-in basis, so there is no need to book ahead. A step-free entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without help, and high chairs are on hand for families arriving with young children. The cafe trades during the day from Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. It has recently passed to new ownership.

Customer Review Summary
The cooked breakfast draws the most attention, with reviewers singling out generous portions, bacon and sausages they call good quality, and eggs and toast that arrive hot. Close behind is the coffee, several describe the cappuccino as the best in the area, and one returns weekly for a sweetened caramel cappuccino. The jacket potato comes up more than once, described as soft, fluffy and well seasoned, and one reviewer mentions egg and fried mushroom toasties eaten by the window. Friendly staff and low prices recur throughout, as does a busy room where service still moves quickly. A change of ownership splits opinion, one reviewer credits it with faster service and better cooking and suggests a return visit for anyone who has not been in a while, while another says the food was awful under new management. A separate poor breakfast is described in detail, barely toasted bread, paper thin black pudding and hard eggs.

“I loved the breakfast here, and The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavour. The portions were generous, the bacon and sausages were cooked perfectly, and the toast and eggs were spot on. Also they were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick even though it was busy. Great atmosphere and excellent value for money. Definitely one of the best breakfast spots around — will definitely be coming back”
