Brodies Coffee Co in Cardiff

Great coffee and customer service thanks to Charlie, who up-sold me to include a double cookie without me realising it.

Simply fantastic. We were looking for a nice cafe after visiting the National Museum. Here it is! Great coffee, everything easy. Bagels, sandwiches, pretzels, whatever your heart desires. You just sit and chill in the park. Card payment is possible, of course. I would recommend Brodies to anyone after visiting the museum. Also with families and or teenagers. There is something for everyone.

Really really good coffee & cakes

I was pleasantly surprised that a Google review was on-point for a change. Normally, I try these highly rated coffee places, to be left disappointed (maybe I identify as a coffee snob :) ). The first taste was up there with the best coffee I have tried, and will definitely be back at some point :). Highly recommend you visit.

A gem in the park next door to Cardiff Museum. Perfect service, efficient, good value and quality. Thanks

Hidden gem on the outskirts of town

It’s so nice to enjoy iced chocolate in a garden filled with the sounds of birds and flowers! The boss is extremely friendly to every student. The boss is extremely friendly to every student.

Got a lovely coffee here, lovely staff and from what I could see, a great selection of drinks and food! Overall, lovely place to get coffee

Service that was, friendly, professional and with a smile. There was 8 of us including kids and everything we brought was really tasty and hot. Decided to go here after museum and it was a really good choice.

Staff are always so lovely and make some of the nicest coffee too

Very good quality coffee, well-made

Lovely location, great espresso, cappuccino was too milky, polite service.

This is my favourite coffee shop in Cardiff. Delicious coffee, amazing views, friendly staff and the best Banana bread ever. I take special detours to visit them because they are worth it 🙌

You guys are awesome..i don't know who started the help our homeless neighbour scheme..but to turn up in the morning knowing other customers have already bought you a drink really helps restore some of your faith in people...staff have great life stories they share when its quiet, some of the staff are in a band...ask to see a vid =-)

Delicious coffee and absolutely lovely staff and owner, who go the extra mile to make us feel welcome. We have tried both the kiosk in the park and the coffee shop and outstanding service at both venues.

me and my partner both got hot chocolate and it was some of the best ive ever had! the cafe is located in a cute little spot and the vibes are great. i definitely recommend this spot

Had a really yummy pumpkin latte with cream, squidgy pumpkin marshmallows & cinnamon.. it was so tasty

Delightful staff with delicious coffee. It was all so lovely

Deed me denken aan Virgin River… voor wie dat ooit gezien heeft😃. Maar een leuk klein coffee en toast tentje in het park…. Heerlijk zitten en het geluk hebben eind september dat de zon op je gezicht schijnt.

A lovely coffee kiosk. Service was extremely good with friendly staff. Coconut and blueberry flapjack recommended.

What a great place for a brew and a piece of cake . The coconut and blueberry flapjack was amazing.

Great place for coffee and a snack.

Stopped in for a toastie and very much enjoyed it. Very friendly staff and a lovely seating area within the park. Loved the peace and quiet!

I absolutely love Brodie's! The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Whether you're having a bad day or a great day, you'll always leave with an extra spring in your step. The coffee is exceptional (top tier imo) and the sweet treats are delicious, with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options. If the weather's good, then taking a seat and watching the world go by in Gorsedd Gardens is one of my favourite things to do (though I don't get to do it enough!) They also have a scheme where you can pop a coffee on the board, which is then donated to those experiencing homelessness in the city. I've not seen anywhere else do similar in Cardiff and I think this speaks a lot for how community-focused and caring the team at Brodie's are. Well worth a visit on every level.

Had a delicious mocha and was kindly made a plain cheese toastie despite it not being on the menu (thank you) the cakes and cookies looked fab too so I will definitely be returning!

I was at the museum and decided to visit brodies as I'd seen so much about it on social media. Quite a wet day so thought the business would be appreciated! Sadly my humble pound coins were not accepted here - ended up going to greggs! Still saved myself a few quid and sat in the dry!

Woman who worked there made me leave for taking my own drink into the shop. I was planning on getting some food here and to do some work with my friend, however this woman was very rude to me and basically told me off in front of the whole shop and asked me to leave. Would not recommend.

On day trip to Cardiff i stopped by for acupof tea and welsh cake which i really enjoyed very much the service was good as well

I can't fully express how much I adore Brodies. The coffee is amazing, the staff are so nice, and the environment is lovely. The El Pecado NEVER fails to perk me up, and the Autumn latte is adorable.

lovely people and delicious brownies!! went with my best friend and quick service. Great value for money.

perfectly made coffee, great attention to detail. soft drinks were great too. cold brew was out of this word.

On all my visits, I have always had a great coffee, the brownies are exceprional and the service is excellent.

Bland, over-priced food. Coffee tasted powdery. Lady behind the counter was rude and abrupt. Great location however, opposite the National Museum.

Great coffee, cakes and toasties. Great service too. Love these guys. Highly recommended.

Cool location, deleicious cakes and snacks, and the best coffee in Cardiff. You have just got to go to this place

Beautiful outdoor spaces, excellent coffee and friendly attentive service. Surprising variety of products available for a small place.

Awesome little gem in the parc! Lovely panini's and the best cofee!

I always love a visit to Brodies! It's such a lovely place tucked away in the gardens. On this visit it had been a long day and I was treated by someone to a vegan hot chocolate and a peanut butter flapjack. I had such a nice chat with the person serving and they really brightened my day just be being themselves and having a lovely chat! As always the hot chocolate and flapjack were delicious and were the perfect end to the day. My dad and I usually message each other when we visit Brodie's because it's one of our favourite places and as we've both grown up in Cardiff I love that we have this tradition and memory.

Nice coffee, nice cakes, nice people

I frequent Brodie’s at least 4 times a week at this point and I have not once been disappointed! For such a tiny place they offer more than most other coffee shops!! Come rain or shine the staff make the walk there worth it, the friendliest staff I’ve met! As someone who struggles with going places alone this is one place I feel so comfortable and at ease. If you aren’t going to Brodie’s what are you doing?

Unassuming from the outside, but they pour one of the best cups of coffee around, well worth a visit particularly on a sunny day when you can enjoy the scenery.

I absolutely love coming to Brodie's for a coffee at the cabin. The staff are incredible, quirky and the coffee is to die for. I literally get a coffee every day. The service and quality that Brodie's provides I think Cardiff should take a leaf out of their book on how to run a successful business. They know how to converse with people. Clearly Brodie's care about the right staff to go with their brand. Have my money. Have it all.

Excellent service and great coffee. Reliably fantastic every time ❤️

Brodies coffee hut in park in Cardiff has really friendly staff, lovely coffee and great selection of food. Opposite museum and nice park to sit in too with seats and tables outside

I’m not one to usually write reviews, but Brodies/Bricks deserves all the praise it can get! I visit on a weekly basis, all of the staff are beyond friendly and very knowledgeable! My partner and I have both spent whole afternoons working in Bricks and have agreed we’ve never been more productive. Would seriously recommend their coconut mocha and vegan lotus banana loaf!

So much love for Brodie's! Every staff member is so lovely to chat to, great coffee and the biscoff banana bread is my go to emergency snack! ☕♥️

The heaviest, stickiest and most delicious chocolate brownies I've ever eaten!! Perfect for replacing energy whilst cycling around Cardiff. Lovely hot chocolate also delicious!!

Lovely to have a coffee in the park

Best coffee and atmosphere in the best location in cardiff. The staff are lovely, soya an dairy intolerant friendly, the white frosted, rasberry and oat flapjacks and oatmilk chai latte are amazing.

Great coffee. Great location. Just love the place

Friendly staff. Great traybakes

Nicest outside coffee in cardiff

This place is a sweet spot, nearby the town centre, but with green views and magnificent architecture surrounding. The coffee is the best I've ever tasted, my partner and I have been coming back here for a few years and do not have a bad word to say. You will always get a friendly smile and a delicious selection of treats including a good variety of vegan options. Brodie is a warm guy and all Brodies staff have their own unique coffee talents. Could not recommend this place enough.

Best coffee in Cardiff. I love Brodie’s, the staff are top notch and always welcoming. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Can’t wait to get back in the office so I can visit more.

Really nice coffee in the Gorsedd Gardens while waiting for my Car to charge just across the road. Friendly service and tasty coffee - who could ask for more.

Good coffee and staff! Nice place. Will go again!

Lovely coffee and Vegan whipped ice cream for my granddaughters

Good, very good in fact -- but super expensive.

Amazing coffee and food, friendly staff and lovely location!

Love this place! One of the best coffee in Cardiff ❤️

Cute lil coffee place in the gardens near the museum

Lovely park cafe. Staff are very friendly, coffee is great and good value and nice place to sit and watch the world go by. Recommend it!

We visited Brodies coffee shop today and were extremely impressed with the excellent service. Both staff members were polite, friendly, easy going, and welcoming. The coffee and cruffins (croissant and muffin hybrid) were delicious (10/10). Lots of dairy and vegan options for all to enjoy. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again soon! Thanks again!

Awesome service with a smile - lovely Irish girl serving great coffee and cakes. Nice bistro tables on the way through the park area just out from city centre - a must visit! Love the "You Got This" on the cups!

Lovely little coffee and snack stand in Gorsedd Gardens. Friendly staff, good coffee (Coaltown Coffee Roasters) and tasty toasties. Card only, no cash!

The most genuine and down to earth independent coffee place in the UK, The staff here are always pleasant, and the coffee is great.

Great coffee, great cakes, great chat. It's never a dull time at Brodies

Visited Cardiff for a weekend away. Found this great coffee shop whilst doing the typical touristy things. Located in lovely surroundings with very pleasant staff. Took the cup home to keep purely because my dog is also called Brodie !! Would definitely pay them a visit when we next come back, highly recommended.

Batista machines make good coffee, the lovely service gave it 5stars!

Great coffee in a wonderful setting. Super friendly staff and we managed to get a table to sit at. Will be back for sure.

Lovely coffee in a nice setting.

Called by after visiting my office for the first time in 16 months. Had a tea and a tuna melt panini and sat on a nearby bench as all the tables were taken. Nice to see people just having normal conversations over a nice brew.

Nice cookies and cakes. Get ready for the surprise size of em

Friendly staff and a good variety of drinks/ cakes to choose from! The cherry bakewell blondie was excellent ❤️

Very polite staff, lovely setting, great tea and coffee! They also provide tea and coffees to the homeless out of the tips instead of taking them home themselves, very selfless! Will always get my service!

Lovely staff and EXCELLENT COFFEE Great location. Keep it up Brodie!!!

Great place for lovely coffee City Hall area

This place fully saved me during the winter lockdown by giving me a reason to get out of the house every day, to interact with friendly familiar faces who make lovely coffees and cheer me up on bad days. Thank you Brodies! They also do a lovely scheme where you can pay for a coffee and they will give it to someone less fortunate. What a lovely ethical local business to support! My extra hot coffees got me through the winter and the lovely ice coffees are making my sunny days even better now! They even give treats to my dog! I always recommend this coffee stop to friends and family. If you haven't been yet, you must check it out! :)

Great coffee, cheerful staff, greenery around... U make my day! Thank you Brodies Coffee and team

Fab coffee. Irish lady was very pleasant.

Brodies has been my ‘go to’ for coffee for over a year (I know it’s taken a while for me to write this review) but honestly the staff are all wonderful and friendly, the coffee is heavenly and to top it all off you get a little positive affirmation boost with every cup! Absolutely love everything they stand for and anytime I have a bad day I know I can pop to the hut and all is right again. Thank you for being you! See you soon,You got this! G

Excellent coffee shop Gorsedd Gardens Cardiff.

This little coffee shop has kept me and my family going through lockdown with not only the absolutely amazing coffee and cakes, but also their great spirit and humour. Love this little coffee shop and have lost count of how many times I have visited by now. (Their toasties are also pretty delish!)

Best coffee in Cardiff without a doubt (and I’ve lived there for 7 years). Mr Brodie and his team always deliver tasty coffee with great chat and genuinely care about you and your day. Best baked treats too and always something different to try!

Best coffee !! Always want to buy 2 as 1 isn’t enough, staff are so friendly and always up for a chat. I have closer cafes but it’s always worth the extra walk !

Excellent selection of coffee and cakes.

Always friendly, great coffee and baked goods, particular shout out to the Ty Melin Almond Pain au Chocolat. Feels inviting whatever the Cardiff weather and on a sunny day, perfect. Do yourself a favour on follow their Instagram, one of my favourite uplifting accounts.

Love this little coffee hut, great coffee with even better service :) always happy to make your drink how you like it and a free warm milk for the little one. The selection of flapjacks and brownies is outstanding, cherry and pistachio today and it tastes like magic!

Simply the best place to get your coffee in Cardiff, can't be overstated when it comes to quality and service. Brodies deserves nothing but the best!

Top coffee, great baked goods and good selection for those vegetarians/vegans/non-dairy

Lovely coffee, cinnamon buns and hot sandwiches. Yummy 😋

Best Sandwiches in Cardiff. Hot chocolate unbelievable. Irish girl deserves a raise for her outstanding customer service

Small but great coffee, great staff, my absolute favorite go-to spot as a local. I’ve gone here every day for the past 3 weeks, every single cup of coffee hits the spot. I love their cookies.

Really great place. A nice spot in Cardiff which not many places offer and they have the greatest brownies in Cardiff

Could barely feel my fingers so the heat of the cup was worth purchase alone. Straight Americano and very polite lovely lady serving. Nice to see a queue and socially distanced. Up to 6 on my stamps so getting quite excited. Well, it's been a slow few months. Great as always.

Lovely coffee - my favourite ! Friendly staff who make the service a personal experience. Good luck with the additional premises !

Great coffee and friendly staff

Fantastic coffee, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Shout out to Jo who always welcomes us with a smile, come rain or shine, or frozen toes! and remembers our order. Great to be able to treat ourselves to a high quality coffee after a cold day dog walk. - Alternative milks available - takeaway only - compostable cups - Covid-safe procedures
