Cafe Yakamoz in Cardiff

Second visit in as many weeks, this time for a Marmara breakfast. What a wonderful meal for the two of us, a lovely selection of cheeses, meats, pastries, bread, olives, jam, honey and menem - eggs scrambled with peppers, tomatoes and onions. Deliciously simple and very moreish meaning another visit is on the cards soon, not least for the wonderful family who run the place. Highly recommended!

Very affordable breakfast/lunch spot with the most friendly and welcoming staff around the area. Great place for students to come and study too. Would recommend to anyone in the area or even surrounding areas.

This place has opened my mind to a broader appreciation of Turkish food. Eaten there a couple of times and each time the food and service is superb! The iced coffee is the best in Cardiff! The service is next level, explaining the food and drink, sometimes with a story. Or just chill with a cuppa and breakfast. I now love Turkish food and coffee - I’m not quite sure about the music 🫠

Awesome place with lovely food, the staff make it! Lovely to chat to, all so friendly. Highly recommend trying the Turkish coffee!

Café Yakamoz offers a delicious Turkish breakfast spread with fresh cheeses, olives, bread, and the standout fried eggs with sucuk (no debate best sucuk I’ve had in the UK). Paired with jams, honey, and Turkish tea, the flavors are rich and authentic. Cozy ambiance and great service make it a must-visit for breakfast lovers. It also has great discounts for students! I will 100% be back!

Looking for somewhere to have a coffee on Sunday and found Cafe Yakamoz close to where I was staying. What an absolute find! This family run restaurant was so welcoming and the food - we had the Mesopotamia Breakfast - was fantastic. Generous portions, quality ingredients and really attentive staff on hand to help and advise on what works well. I had the best Turkish coffee here since visiting Istanbul and the heart shaped chocolate was a lovely touch for Mothers Day. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Excellent place. Clean and friendly. Everything was truly delicious. A lot of care and attention had gone into the ingredients and presentation. A visual treat. Tasty and very filling. Absolutely satisfying. Will be back to work my way through the menu. So much choice . Staff very pleasant and happy to discuss menu

Was looking for Turkish cuisine in the local area and Yakamoz didn’t disappoint! From lovely staff to authentic cuisine you’re bound to have a lovely time. The food is authentic and traditional and tastes as though the streets of Turkey have been brought to Cardiff! Will definitely be back!

The best Turkish breakfast I’ve had in Cardiff. We had the Mesopotamian breakfast, which came with some of the best falafel, halloumi, bourek and menimen I’ve had. Mountains of amazing quality food, loads of bread to mop it all up with, all for just £25...

Quality authentic Turkish cuisine with good prices and a nice environment. Would recommend for especially students in the area.

This spot is a great place to meet up with friends and family for some coffee and food. Would highly recommend even if your unfamiliar with the Turkish cuisine like myself. Service was excellent, Highly recommend

The canteen breakfast was brilliant and cooked to perfection

Yakamoz is great cafe with authentic Turkish food and drinks. The Turkish tea is elite, and the food took me straight back to Istanbul. The chef there has clearly been doing it for a long time.

The food was banging and the staff were even nicer, would definitely recommend the hummus with the Turkish bread.
