About Blŵm
Blŵm is a coffee shop in Cardiff at Fairoak House, where the drinks counter shares the space with homeware, pottery, home fragrance, gifts and cards, and dried floral arrangements. The espresso is made with Coaltown beans, and the iced tiramisu latte is one of the cold options. Alongside the coffee sits a selection of homemade cakes and pastries, with donuts, blondies and a Nutella cookie. The space inside is small, and dogs are welcome. Payment is by card only. The shop also hosts a run club.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the coffee, with the flat white named repeatedly, and the V60 and a Peruvian single origin also singled out. Coaltown beans get a mention too. Iced drinks come close behind, notably the tiramisu iced latte, which one reviewer likens to having a coffee and a cake in one, along with an iced matcha. Pastries draw praise as well, including a Nutella cookie, donuts, blondies and homemade cakes, and a few mention the wraps. Many describe friendly, welcoming staff, and one says drinks came out quickly for a couple on a time crunch. Several note the dog friendly setup and the homeware, pottery and dried floral arrangements on sale, and a Monday run club is mentioned. The main caveat is space: one reviewer calls the shop a bit cramped, another says it leans pricier, though one other calls it good value, and a table was dirty on one visit. Even so, a reviewer who came back a year later still called it a favourite.

“The loveliest coffee shop in Cardiff! Blwm is by far my favourite place to visit. From its friendly, welcoming staff to delicious choice of drinks and wonderful atmosphere, it’s a gorgeous coffee shop with everything you could need (including gifts and cards to shop from too!). The drink flavours are amazing, fantastic coffee and there’s always a choice of pastries and cakes to enjoy! The staff are so friendly, smiley and lovely to chat to, including Caryl the owner, who goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and part of the blwm community. The Monday run club is also my favourite part of the week, and I’d encourage anyway to pay a visit and join a welcoming, inclusive group. Don’t miss this gem of a coffee shop!”

“My partner and I came here just before a viewing in the area today so on a time crunch, and the lovely staff made our drinks super quick, along with about 5 other drinks for other customers!! Really delicious iced latte and iced tiramisu latte :) will return!”

“This is our second time in this coffee shop and it was a very good experience again!!!! When we entered the coffee shop it was not that busy then it got a bit more busy 5 minutes later!!! I then spotted the new hard lines coffee which was the "birthday party coffee!!!" It was reasonably priced and came with lots of birthday stickers!!!. I ordered the tiramisu iced latte and when it arrived it was like having a coffee and a cake all in one!!! And it was cheaper! 🤯. The drink was very creamy and tasted like actual tiramisu!!! The atmosphere of the coffee shop is very cozy and they had the Coaltown beans on espresso today!!! Overall very good and cozy coffee shop and good value for money. 👍”

“Lovely little dog friendly coffee shop! Staff are always so welcoming and kind - it’s quite small inside but I’ve never struggled to get a table in all the times I’ve visited. Definitely recommend their Nutella cookie and an iced matcha!”

“I visited this café and truly enjoyed the taste of the coffee. I ordered a flat white, it was absolutely delicious. At the same time, I also tried their black coffee, which had a berry-like flavor profile. I’m so thankful to my friend who recommended this place, and also grateful for the cheerful staff during the morning hours. I’ll definitely add this to my favorites and come back again!”
