Blossom Cafe in Cardiff

Lovely eating experience, that I was really unexpected. The boss fancied a late brunch. She had heard good things about Blossom, a Turkish restaurant,from a couple of her friends. I must admit that I was a little apprehensive, but it was surprisingly good. We both had Shakshuka. I've eaten this many times in the middle east. The Cardiff one was better than most of them. Lovely Turkish coffee, with a complementary piece of homemade Turkish Delight concluded this lovely meal. The service was exemplary. I took home some of their home made baklava. It is delicious. I will certainly come again.

We visited Cardiff for my best friends surprise 50th! I’d done my research being afternoon/cream tea lovers and stumbled across this little gem! I contacted Selma via instagram and she was so lovely and always got back to me, even when I was asking her questions about how to get there, as it’s about a 20 minute walk from National History museum! (Thanks to google maps- walk function with lady telling you exactly where to go 🤣) we arrived and the place is gorgeous! A flower wall with swinging chairs, so lovely photo opportunities, plush comfy beautiful coloured big seats to sit on and bone china cups and plates. Selma greeted us so warmly and was so attentive and super lovely. I think it is a family run business as that was the vibe and I think mum was also helping who was equally lovely! I can honestly say genuinely this was without a doubt THE BEST AFTERNOON/CREAM TEA we have ever tasted! And we have eaten LOTS of cream teas around the country! From the sandwiches to cakes and scones we were in heaven! The food was sooooo good, the humus was the best I’d ever tasted, sandwiches original, scones crunchy of the outside and soft in the middle and the selection of cakes was colourful, enticing and absolutely DELICIOUS! Everything tasted homemade and we couldn’t stop smiling. Selma was super attentive, refilled our tea and just made us feel so special and relaxed. The walk was worth the trek! I urge anyone coming to Cardiff looking for a afternoon/cream tea to put this on your list, don’t be put off it’s a little far out from city centre it is 100% worth it! We couldn’t finish it so took a doggy bag away with us! If only this place was in Bournemouth as we’d be regulars as ALL the food and cakes that came out around us looked fabulous! Thank you Selma so much for making the start of our trip so memorable! 😘

I enjoy the Turkish breakfast in here. The decor and atmosphere is nice. Will return for more food. Caters for gluten free.

So cosy and lovely and everyone who works there is so friendly - great variety of options for food - 10/10 amazing for a quick bite to eat, also decor is stunning!!!!!

Visited for afternoon tea with family. Great food, fantatsic and friendly service. Nothing was too much. Lovely environment.

We had the Turkish brunch for two and it was very tasty! Only thing neither of us liked was the cold potato dish but everything else was excellent! Caters for gluten free- my wife had gluten free roast instead of the Turkish pastries and bread. Not sure the pastries could have been made gluten free so she was happy enough with toast. The cafe was lively and decor is quirky and fun. Would visit again for sure :)

Where do I start! Love this place! Amazing , tasty food, fantastic staff! Always a warm welcome. Varied menu, accompanied by a lovely setting. ❤️

Sadly I will probably not return after being charged £3.50 for one piece of shop standard toast. It's such a shame as the tea was very good quality and the staff are polite...I just don't like being ripped off. The pantry just a ten minute walk away gives 2 doorstep slices of artisan toast and jam for £2.50!!

Nice and cheerful setting compared to some of the other cafes in the vicinity. The service was excellent and there was plenty of choice of cakes and food.

Excellent friendly service and beautiful tasty food. Really attractive decor with a relaxing atmosphere.

Came here for brunch and will definitely return. Great range of veggie food from Turkish specialities to bagels and sandwiches. Lots of choice, comfy seats and great helpful and friendly service.

Visited this cafe with my mum and toddler for lunch and coffee/tea and it was all so fresh and tasty! It is spotless in there and the decor is really pretty and the atmosphere is relaxing with gentle background music but most of all the staff were so helpful, friendly and lovely. Will definitely be returning!

A comfortable place to sit with the newspaper. Great service, the lady who runs it is always smiling, and they serve the tastiest soup in town!

Quaint little cafe punching weigh above its weight in the array of vegetarian options it provides. We regularly visit and have found all dishes prepared with quality ingredients, freshly made to order vegetarian breakfasts and lunches, warm homemade breads, always presented with care and attention to detail. Look out to be surprised with finishing little touches. Family run, warm hospitality. Even our 6 year old loves it here. Couldn’t praise this little restaurant higher. Unique blend of Turkish Mediterranean fusion food. You would be hard pressed to find anything else like it.

What a fantastic little new find. Selma was an absolute fantastic at helping us. Really pleased with the food, price and the location. We will all be back.

We held a friend's baby shower here over the weekend and it was an absolute delight. Having been to the venue once before for brunch, we had noted how friendly and attentive the staff were, how aesthetically pleasing the establishment was and of course how...

Very lovely chatting and great service. Thanks for existing in our life. As a small friends group, we had a great time. Turkish tea in a pot and menemen also is another main food of Turkish breakfast and simit… etc legitimately perfect.

A very hygienic and clean place to have breakfast. Turkish and vegetarian foods. Kind and smiling staff. Wonderful way to start the day off. Very reasonable prices. Plenty of flowers that make the inside look very nice. If the weather is good you can eat...

Very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was brilliant and the coffee is excellent. The cakes are fab and there is a great atmosphere.

Have been visiting here since they first opened, the owner has always been extremely lovely, helpful and amazing at catering for intolerances. The cakes (sometimes GF & DF) are beautiful and the home made bread is fantastic (not GF, maybe one day). Menu has so...

I have passed this cafe many times, but today finally went inside for lunch. The food was excellent, so tasty and well presented, but it was the perfect service that made it stand out! Felt like a very welcome guest. I can’t wait for a...

Fantastic coffee shop, Salma and all her staff make us so welcome every time we visit. Highly recommended to everyone. Thank you

Have been here before for coffee and cake but this was my first time for lunch and I was not disappointed. I had the leek and cheese pie which came with salad and 2 lovely little pots of dip which were delicious. The staff were...

My sister and I decided to call in for a coffee. Our first visit. Our last visit. The only seats available were at the back of the cafe. I didn't notice the step and tripped landing on my right knee. I'm 73 and this fall...

I have spotted this place on Instagram and interior was looking so sweet. When i see there will be a mummy and daughter afternoon party, i have decided to go and see myself. My little girl had so much fun. Everything was perfect. Food and...

We have been there today. Sesame bagels were baked freshly and all the breakfast was delicious. Great experience with friendly service definitely recommend this place.

Brilliant little find on Wellfield road. We actually went to go to another cafe for a coffee and cake a few doors down but their kitchen was closed - I saw this cafe as we were parking and it looked bright and busy! So off...

Stopped for coffee and cake as the place looked brighter and more cheerful than some others on the same road. The service was excellent. There is plenty of choice of cakes etc and I believe food is also served here. Would recommend and visit again.

Friendly food, tasty atmosphere and relaxing service. The sandwiches were freshly made to order and my boyfriend is now addicted to the walnut baklava.

Lovely lunch for family of 5. Great vegan choice. Service was great and everyone there was super friendly. Recommend the moussaka and homemade bread.

We had delicious Iman Bayaldi, Falafels, Turkish tea and a smoothie - nicely presented and utterly delicious, We thought that we would have to wait a long time as the cafe was busy and the staff seemed to be a bit disorganised at a busy...

Fantastic afternoon tea, we had two vegan and two non vegan cream teas and they were superb. The staff were really friendly and attentive.

The name "Blossom" says it all. Beautifully decorated cafe, the best in Roath. I sat outside in the back courtyard on a sunny afternoon, what a treat eating carrot cake & milkshake with a beautiful wall mural backdrop. The place is spotlessly clean as well....

Great food Great breakfast I enjoyed it so much, very tasty Great design as well I would strongly recommend it Will call again

Absolutely amazing! Can't fault it. So nice you'll want more once you've finished!! The staff are so kind, friendly and welcoming! More than happy to help with whatever you need

You feel like you're a personal guest of Selma the owner, who is so kind and welcoming. Fabulous coffee and tasty cakes. Turkish owners offering Turkish patisserie (best in the world) and other Turkish delicacies.

I would strongly recommend the food here, it is a MUST. Great atmosphere and great food. The staff are always very friendly too.

A great addition to the local area. Nice environment, congenial staff, great menu, well prepared food, more than you would expect from a cafe.
