  “Popped in for some refreshments whilst walking through Bute Park. Oh, my. The gluten free pistachio and rose loaf was SO delicious!! And the gluten free salted chocolate brownie is probably the best chocolate brownie I've had in over a decade! Will definitely head back there. It's clearly very popular so a short wait is likely. The service was excellent though.”

  “Lovely little cafe area in a private courtyard area by the information centre. Serving home made quiches, frittatas and cakes. I had a Mediterranean pesto quiche which was amazing. Some gluten free options.”

  “A great name for a café hidden in Bute Park's historic walled garden. There are lots of benches and lawns to sit and make the most of refreshments here, and sheltered benches inside. Hugely popular all year round and pretty in spring and summer.”

  “The goat cheese sandwich was delicious and really filling, and the honey salted brownie was amazing. It was very busy while we were there but all the staff were lovely and sitting in the gardens is perfect on a spring day.”

  “Really lovely place to get a coffee or bite to eat in the middle of Bute Park. One of my favourite lunch spots on Cardiff. - You get a big discount on hot or iced drinks if you bring your own reusable mug. This is a really nice incentive for reducing waste. - Food is really tasty and a generous sized portion for the price. - Lots of good vegan and vegetarian options. - Beautiful location in the park. - Really friendly staff.”

  “Just a wonderful place to stop and relax. The food was excellent - I had the quiche and a friend had the fritatta. The cafe is also super ecofriendly. Set within the wonderful Bute Park.”

  “Lovely setting, really nice coffee and food with vegan and gf options. Made me a perfect cortado even though it wasn’t on the menu! Significant discount on hot drinks if you bring your own cup.”

  “Great little coffee spot to sit down and have a coffee in bute park. Definitely better than it's competition inside of the park but more on the pricier end. I wouldn't recommend the food here it's cold and very pricey. The seating outside is very nice and let's be honest you come for a coffee and the view! Worth a quick stop for coffee if your out in Bute”

  “Gorgeous food using wholesome ingredients. Had a quiche with salad and coleslaw it was really tasty. Every part of the meal had gorgeous flavours and was very reasonably priced. It's in a perfect spot for a dog walk lunch, just wish they'd open more places!”

  “Lovely little cafe with nice seating area out front and toilets in the back. Absolutely love their soft serve ice cream! Flavour changes every week, always a different combination so nice to try something new :) Didn't love the hot chocolate or pastries we had last time, but the coffees are good. Good little cafe to pop into if you're in the park :)”
