Cafe 14 in Cardiff

What a lovely surprise we found it on our last day of visiting our daughter in hospital,lovely and clean great disability access we sat inside but there's plenty of outdoor sitting area,we got served by a lovely girl great customer service she made the best mocha lol we will definitely recommend .

We stumbled across this Cafe yesterday in the grounds of the UHW. We found the whole experience both relaxed and enjoyable. The Manager even took time to have a little chat, despite him having his mask on which must have been uncomfortable for him. TThe coffee was delicious as was the toastie and the cheesy chips are a must. These were brought to our table by a very pleasant lady. Price was so reasonable too, we will definately be returning!!

My wife and I decided to try Cafe 14 for lunch, rather than the Concourse. We ordered a BLT bagette and a cheese toasted sandwich and a pot of tea for two. The waitress only brought a pot for one, luckily there was just enough for one cup each. We had to wait 30 minutes for our food. My wife said that the Cheese Toasted sandwich tasted as if they had used cheap bread. My BLT bagette wasn't to bad, the bacon could have been hotter and there was not a lot of tomato. By the time the food arrived the tea was cold. In the future we will stick to the Concourse not as comfortable but the food is hot and served quickly. Shame it could have been quite good with a bit more thought.

You get what you pay for ultimately and I really get that, and it is so true here in this cafe. The coffee was really nice to be honest and the barista was very friendly and chatty, even offered a recommendation from the food menu. However, the speed of the food being prepared leaves a lot to be desired. The chef is quite possibly the angriest looking most miserable man in the world unfortunately, he is like this with the staff and customers. Maybe he lost his passion for food long ago and this tells in his lack of 'love' put into his food and the slowness of the service being delivered. Would I recommend it......hmmmmm in truth yes for a coffee, no for food unless you have a lot of time to kill and wait for it.

We came here during a break from manual handling training and the late I had was smooth and mild. Very nice and would recommend it. Shame it was packed during our lunch break as we were going to have a toastie

Popped along to have a cuppa here while waiting for hospital appointment. It has been tastefully refurbished since my last visit & is now a very pleasant area to sit. I was delighted by selection of cakes to go with a nice cup of coffee & I'll happily visit next time.

Been enjoying coming here for a lovely coffee in their new cafe after session in the gym and pool. On Friday it was very busy everyone was enjoying the outside area!

Excellent quiz last night with 7 teams and prize money of £100. Not won and going up to £110 next week Beer reasonably priced £3.90 for Grolsch and the superb range of Gins and tonics are a treat to try and get through the lot

Lovely atmosphere and family friendly, cakes are amazing especially the Lemon Drizzle.!! Staff are very friendly. My daughter keeps asking to go back as swimming pool across the way. Nice place also for working as can charge laptops and have WiFi.

Best coffee in Cardiff amazinggg staff are always friendly and accommodating and the cakes are lovely well worth a visit

Relaxed and friendly. Fitness facilities include squash, swimming pool, football hall, badminton and gym. Classes available and child friendly groups during school holidays

My colleagues and I have enjoyed coming at lunchtime for quite some time. We were slightly disappointed that the room we normally sit in was closed for 5 or so weeks however, it has been transformed into a new, very comfortable designated Cafe area sperate from the rest of the bar. The room is such a transformation from what it previously was. They have such lovely cakes and really nice (cheaper than the concourse) coffee. Well worth a visit just to see the transformation.

Welcome to Cafe 14 where the customer is always wrong! Feeling like putting a downer on your day? Ever wondered what an absolute dive looks like? Well then come on down and feast your eyes on our menu your nan could cook up better with her eyes closed. We may not have a rank 0 hygiene rating anymore, but fear not! Our food still tastes like we cooked it on a car bonnet. Burgers so thin and dry you'll wonder if you're actually eating a slice of hoof. Never mind cheap and cheerful, how about cheap and choke on bread that's so chewy you'll get lockjaw. Got the wrong order? Not our problem! Cos it all costs under a fiver anyway so who cares right? No plates? No problem. We serve half our meals in doggy boxes as standard. Coming as a group? Then you can enjoy watching each one of you take turns eating with our completely random service times. We're always happy to listen to our customers complaints since we know we'll never see any of you idiots ever again. The UHW is such a cash cow for us we haven't had to change anything since the 80s. Don't forget to try our selection of beers pumped through pipes that taste like they haven't been cleaned in years. The regulars seem to like the taste of a dirty penny, so why bother right? We'll amaze you with how little we care about your experience here. So come on down and waste some money, because you're one of a million who'll make the mistake of eating here.
