Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the baked goods, with the brownies named repeatedly: a meringue chocolate brownie described as extremely sweet, and a gluten-free brownie. Close behind come a vegan chocolate salted cookie, rainbow cake, huge cinnamon buns and a cream tea, all called delicious. The coffee draws praise too, from a coconut latte to an oat flat white one diner rates the best they have had in Cardiff, while another calls the coffee decent by UK standards. A bacon bap also gets a mention. Staff are described again and again as friendly, lovely and welcoming, and several mention comfy chairs, a relaxed feel and a quiet morning visit. Upstairs seating is described as a solitary spot with colouring and reading activities. Criticism is minor and specific: one reviewer found staff singing and whistling along to the music intrusive, another called the toilet not great and wished for a proper cup outdoors. Several call the prices reasonable, and one reviewer returned two days running for the vegan cookie.

  • Olivia Morgan
    “Both food and service were superb. Was served by Lauren, who was more than happy to help and answered any queries I had. All staff are very friendly and created a positive atmosphere within the cafe and made it a lovely place to eat at.”
  • Yashvi Verma
    “Such a beautiful place to be. Would definitely recommend to enjoy dine in on the 1st floor if you need some solitude. Love that it has fun activities to do over there l, you can colour, read, play enjoying your coffee alongside. As for the food the bakery options are all worth trying and the serving portion is good enough for a single person.”
  • Lee
    “A great spot for decent coffee and bacon bap. Genuinely nice staff. Only minor improvements I could say are the toilet wasn't great and would've loved to sit outside with a proper cup. Nice vibe to the place though.”
  • Jessica Farr
