About Coffee Spot
Coffee Spot is a family-run coffee shop in Cardiff, at 6 Barrack Ln. The kitchen makes its Basque burnt cheesecake in-house, and the slice sits alongside espresso drinks like the flat white. For warmer days, the Spanish iced coffee is on the menu next to other iced coffees. Dogs are welcome, so visitors can bring their pets along while they stop for a drink and a slice. The space is small, with plants and decor filling the room.

Customer Review Summary
Flat whites and the Basque burnt cheesecake come up most, with reviewers calling one of the flat whites among the best they have had and the cheesecake the star of the homemade cakes. Close behind are the Spanish iced, described as creamy and sweet with a micro-foam texture, plus the cappuccino, cortado, matcha, mocha, cinnamon bun latte and dirty chai. Banana bread and hot chocolate also get praise. Reviewers describe a cozy, calm space where it is comfortable to work or study, with plants, nice music and outdoor seating that catches the sun. Dogs are welcome and the WiFi is described as fast and free. Staff and the family owners are repeatedly called friendly and lovely, and several mention drinks priced fairly. One reviewer calls the service minimal but friendly and reserved. No complaints appear in the reviews. One parent recalls a man behind the counter making a "baby chino" for her daughter even though it is not on the menu, and refusing payment for it.

“Beautiful people who work here. Really friendly, over heard my baby said she wants baby chino even tho they don’t have baby chinos the kind man still went out his way to make her one! We offered to pay but he said it was from him 🥺 Very clean, calm environment. You can work comfortably there. Their ice coffees and hot chocolate are 10/10! 😍 Thank you for a nice experience everytime.”

“This is a relaxing café away from the main hustle and bustle of the city centre while not being too detached from it. The cortardo and flat white is very very good and the matcha is at an impressive standard. The serving staff were lovely, friendly, and raring to help. Outdoor seating gets perfect coverage of sunshine, and ashtrays are provided to outside seating areas upon request. This spot is dog friendly and offers fast, free WiFi to patrons. The pricing is also extremely reasonable especially for the quality of the drinks. All in all, a must visit.”
