I used to come here 20years ago for my lunch, when the college across the road had not yet been turned into a block of student flats. It was amazing then. Always packed to the rafters. It was still amazing, but dead as a dodo :-(. We're lucky this place is still open considering the revenue they've lost since the college closed. Very sad. Make the most I say. Their shakes are out of this world!

Me and my partner had visited this place for around 3 years, at least once a week, but usually 2-3 times a week. But a while ago it changed management, the original owner (Kate) had moved on from the business and left it with someone else. Whilst the service is lovely and attentive, the quality and standard of food is nowhere near what it was with Kate, the prices increased, the amount of food dropped etc etc. It’s still a cute little cafe at the bottom of city road, and I would recommend to give it a try.

I planned to meet a friend here for some food and coffee after checking out the menu on their website and seeing lots of great vegan options. However, we were handed the menu which had no vegan choices whatsoever. I went to the till and asked the man if they had any vegan options like the ones on the website. He said no, and that the website is old and he is the new owner and has no vegan options. He did offer the veggie breakfast without eggs but that's not really what I was looking for. Unfortunately we left without buying anything. Really gutted because it's a lovely little cafe and was hoping to make it my local meet up place with friends.

Food was nice, went for poached eggs on toast. They have the largest selection of coffee syrups it's insane. Cute family/local feel to the cafe and a relaxed environment.

Kate the owner is one of the most professional and kind people in the industry. Having only a small amount of staff this place is ran perfectly and professionally without being pretentious. The menu is extensive and delicious and the barista is always attentive with what drinks you would like. For a cafe AJ’s is an all rounder with alcoholic beverages breakfasts and many more. I have booked with AJ’s for private parties before and they’ve been amazing, with a fully equipped stage and kareoke available- Kate also offers buffets and a fully stocked bar- absolutely outstanding place for Cardiff it would be a huge shame if AJ’s were to ever close down as it’s a real gem of Wales.

The food in the place is only ok (apart from the awful, packet frozen curly fries) Came in here with colleagues one lunch break. There were 4 in front waiting the que to order so we waited for them to order and placed an order for 3 breakfasts. Immediately after us, there was a table of 12 people who qued (BEHIND us to order). I asked how long the wait would be and the member if staff said 15 mins so we carried on with the order. After waiting for OVER AN HOUR for our food to arrive (and the table of 12 who came in after us getting their meal before us and leaving ). I asked why the long wait and why did he promise 15 mins. He replied no I said it will be 15 mins before we start cooking and there will be a delay. I think this place needs to be more up front to office workers about the time they have to wait for their food. If he said it will be 15 mins before we start cooking and another 1hr 10 mins before you get your food (being honest) then we would have gone elsewhere. We did get an apology and some awful curly fries to make up for this but they were not needed and left and all we wanted was to dealt with before the table of 12 who were behind us in the que. Simple etiquette really! This place made us very late for a meeting we had and won't be ever back. A bit of honesty wouldn't go a miss rather than white washing us with the 15 mins before we start cooking lies. We won't be back. Lost customers just because you weren't up front about the wait time!

The coffees were great, better than the chains on nearby Albany Road. They even hire the cafe out in the evenings, £75 and karaoke for an extra £25. I'll be making this shop my regular

This quirky coffee house was not what we were expecting but we are glad we came! It’s quite a trek out of the city centre, but there are quite a few hotels dotted close by. We came at about 12:15 for brunch and it was quiet. there was a good breakfast and light lunch menu, great for smaller appetites. We both had pancakes which were homemade; you pay per pancake which was brilliant as most places just create a standard stack. We were pleasantly full afterwards. Never judge a cafe by its exterior; it looks tiny from the street but has multiple tables inside and about 6 in a heated and covered garden. The only downside to the garden area was that some customers were smoking under the cover which didn’t allow for proper ventilation of the smoke so the smell did linger for quite sometime; I appreciate we could’ve gone and sat inside but at the moment we much prefer sitting outside because of the current Covid circumstance so I don’t mean to moan! Very much recommend and well worth the walk.

This place is overly priced but they used to do a really nice breakfast so you didn’t mind but I had one today and it was awful! They used to use decent sausages but now they use cheap ones with the herbs in. My egg was frazzled and just wasn’t nice at all. They were supposed to open at 10 but didn’t answer the phone till half past. Told me 15 minutes and when I got there she said another 5, 20 minutes later I was still there and there was only one other person in the place so wasn’t busy. Shoddy place

Searched Trip adviser for coffee shop for breakfast. This establishment came up with a good rating. We were the first customers of the day, so plenty of seating!! - there is actually a lot of seating for customers. We were served very quickly - food was freshly cooked. I had a BLT which was tasty. Hubby had pancakes with bacon & egg. The greedy git upgraded to 3 of each - how wrong he was - they arrived and were huge and extremely filling - he couldn’t finish his food. Loved the sign for the “gender neutral” toilet! Would definitely recommend & would return.

Really chilled atmosphere, clean, great decor, comfy sofas as well as tables. Fantastic for meetings or just to chill with friends or solo. You can also park nearby which is a plus. They sometimes have events in the evenings which range from karaoke to bands, open mic, poetry etc. They have a projector and brilliant sound and lighting equipment. I like it!

My colleague and I went there yesterday for our lunch break and we both ordered fish, chips, onion rings and tartare sauce. We were told that the wait was 20 minutes as they were very busy. We said that was fine. 40 minutes later we asked if they could put the food in a take away box as we had to get back to work.. They did this and handed us the boxes with a mumbling of an apology. On opening the box back in work it was minus the sauce and onion rings. The food to be honest was mediocre and the fish looked and tasted like something from a supermarket freezer Very disappointed ! It would have been nicer if we had a sincere apology and the staff had been friendlier
