Quick info
About Hard Lines Coffee Roasters
Hard Lines Coffee Roasters is a coffee roastery in Cardiff, based at Unit 8. The site doubles as the company's headquarters. Roasting takes place on site, so the premises work as both a production space and a place to buy coffee. Visitors can buy retail coffee from the team and ask them for advice on it during opening hours. The roastery opens Monday to Thursday, in the daytime only, and stays closed on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come for the coffee itself, and the House Party blend gets the most detail, described as smooth and rich with hints of milk chocolate and dried fruit, and brewed in a Moka pot each morning. Close behind is the festive Nadolig Llawen blend, with tasting notes of milk chocolate, orange and caramel. One household says its coffee subscription beats any other ground coffee they have used in their espresso machine. A natural from China is called lovely, the team is described as welcoming, and one reviewer calls the coffee training phenomenal. Another diner finds the food delicious. The one trade-off raised is seating. A reviewer acknowledges it is a roastery and HQ but wishes for a few tables to sit, sip and work on a laptop. One reviewer, who never understood black coffee, says the Rwandan opened their eyes and awoke their inner coffee addict.

“Some amazing coffee and the team there were so welcoming!”
- Andrew Wallis
“I discovered Hard Lines Coffee at Narrative Coffee in Rhayader whilst driving through Wales, and it’s become a staple in our home! The festive blend (Nadolig Llawen) is a perfect holiday treat with tasting notes of milk chocolate, orange, and caramel—so indulgent and full of Christmas cheer. The House Party blend is equally impressive, with its smooth, rich flavor and hints of milk chocolate and dried fruit. We particularly enjoy brewing it in our Moka pot each morning—the flavors come through beautifully, making every cup a real treat. Hard Lines Coffee has brought joy to our mornings this holiday season. Highly recommend for any coffee lover!”
