Canna Deli in Cardiff

Love this hidden little gem,the staff are so friendly and kind and go the extra mile with a regular customer who pops in with me,she as a learning disability and they always make her feel welcome and comfortable,best place to go in the area and they are fast efficient and have very high standards 😀

Very nice food. Pontcanna prices.....

Delicious brunch! Scrambled eggs and breakfast brioche so tasty and good portion size :)

Had a Blondie and a superb flat white. Perfect temperature and not burnt. Would recommend to anyone who appreciates good coffee and sweet treats!

What a gem of a place! Staff are so attentive and friendly. Food was fresh and tasty. I loved the choice of outdoor or indoor dining with a covered outdoor seating area too. Best coffee in the area.

Just visited to pick up takeaway coffee and tray bake for my mother in hospital, charged £7.90 for small coffee & bake, which was raw!! Coffee burnt! Not good & very disappointing service, will call back for refund.

I love this place!! Super cute and amazing salad. My go-to order is the small salad which is £8.5. Which I think the portion is pretty much. They always have nice selection of salad, taste so good!! 100% recommend

Really nice quality and friendly service

Cute little eatery with a good menu. The food was good. The restaurant itself was cute but small. We sat in a small enclosure outside, which wasn't the most comfortable but good enough. Friendly staff

Stopped by to grab a take away coffee. Waited for 30 minutes. Poor customer service, no communication. No comments of ‘thanks for waiting’ or ‘sorry for the wait’. We could see the staff were busy but these small things make a difference.

One of my favourite cafes, great coffee and beautiful food. Love the undercover outside eating area. Highly recommend.

Tasty food, chill atmosphere. I'll be back.

Decent coffee and tasty food. Nicely tucked away to provide some tranquility from city life. Some good gluten free choices 😊

Down in Cardiff for the weekend. Great food and service. 👍😊❤️

Fabulous coffee and superb locally sourced deli food in a lovely mews of local businesses. We will be back to sample the full menu!

I had the breakfast burrito, really tasty, loved it. My wife had the bah-me vegan dish which she raved about!

Gwych ETO! ALWAYS AMAZING! CROESO CYNNES A BWYD BLASUS DROS BEN. Welcome always warm and food superb as oer usual, New seating arrangement in cabin CLASS!!

We regularly have a Sunday brunch here. However, on a recent visit , the ambience and service was very different. There has been a change of ownership. As a Welsh person and a learner of the language I was made to feel embarrassed because I ordered a coffee In English! The service was patronising and parochial and conducted yng ghymraeg , I felt that this was to prove a point ! An expensive menu for basic choice which resulted in my family ordering a coffee and leaving. So disappointed. We will definitely look for another Sunday coffee and brunch stop.

Brought here by my sister after good reviews from her. The staff weren’t very welcoming as soon as we got there and the table hadn’t been wiped down so was dirty unfortunately. I ordered a coronation chicken ciabatta which I could tell had quality ingredients and tasted good however there was far too much butter and I was finding clumpy of butter which made me feel rather ill afterwards. Unfortunately there was no one around to feedback to. I would say it is slightly overpriced for what it is. Not sure I would visit again.

Awful service. Decided to start making our coffees after we had already been served food. Ordered a large salad which consisted of about 2 leaves.

Great service and background music too!

It was less painful to walk away without a coffee than watch them cluck around without the foggiest of how to use their coffee machine. Also, no vegan options in 2022? Be real.

Wonderful hidden gem! They sell great products, including traditional Welsh laverbread. The staff is also very friendly!

A friend recommended this place but its the first and last time I visit. It's a pretentious and over priced cafe. Was served by obviously untrained and rude staff who looked at me as if I was in the way. They took my money ok though. Cup of tea was the most expensive I've ever had, served in a tiny cup with the tea bag still in the cup and no saucer so had to dump the tea bag on the ground. Tiny bit of milk in a minuscule jug and the overly priced flapjack was factory bought, rapped in plastic and given to me as was with no plate. When I asked for a plate the staff looked at me as if I was being unreasonable but did begrudgingly give me one. The music blared out so we couldn't really have a conversation and my overall experience was basically very poor.

Lovely place, not a huge selection of cakes

Great food and staff in a lovely mews location with fab shops to visit.

Cynnyrch o ansawdd a staff cyfeillgar! Really good fresh produce and a good selection of tins, jars and bottles on sale too.

Really nice food in a lovely peaceful setting. Loved the salad selection. Will definitely be back!

Grât food and wine, the staff are very welcoming, diolch

Visited here for lunch and have to say it was all very disappointing. Ordered chicken Caesar salad which was probably the worst I have ever been served. Tiny cold tin plate with 4 cold slices of chicken, half a gem lettuce and a few teaspoons of dressing - oh and 1 slice of tomato? And for this embarrassment they charged £8.50. I fully understand that food has a mark up but this was really taking advantage ..... unsurprisingly I won’t be back.

Absolutely fantastic place. Our favourite cafe in Cardiff. Also do amazing bao buns on a special night on a Friday.

The best cafe in Pontcanna, if not Cardiff!

We went to Canna Deli for the special nights they are running for the next few weeks on Friday and Saturdays. So glad we did! Had a brilliant time and the food was superb. We visited on Moules & Frites night- the mussels were some of the best we’ve had. They came with lovely bread and fries! We ordered the special wine which was brought in to compliment the mussels, and it was lovely. The outside seating is under cover but no heaters, so wrap up! There is background music and a lovely atmosphere. Also, I can see some reviews regarding Welsh language- I’m Welsh (non-Welsh speaking) and my partner is English. We were greeted in Welsh before the establishing we were English speaking, the service was great, and we didn’t feel as though we were treated differently to the Welsh speaking customers. Can’t wait to go back- will be visiting for lunch, and likely booking in for the upcoming Fondue night!

Hugely expensive, and what seemed to be the owner was rude. Waiter was accommodating and friendly even with a bad boss

The female staff member was rude and the menu is eye wateringly expensive for very standard produce (£8 for a basket of chips). Even as a Londoner those prices wouldn’t fly. Service was slow. 30 minutes without any approach from the waiter while we had empty glasses, and on visiting the bar the female staff member announced the that they had closed orders at 9.15. It was 9.20.

Amazing selection and really friendly staff!

We frequently visit Canna Deli for a brunch treat because the food is excellent and it’s in a great part of town. Although it may be seen as a bit pricey, the quality and taste of the food makes up for it. However every occasion we have visited we’ve been met by the same unwelcoming and almost burdensome approach from the staff. We visited today to support the deli upon their re-opening and as always the food was excellent. £8 for just a sandwich May seem a lot but it was delicious. However, unfortunately we were met with the same sour attitude from the staff and felt like an inconvenience despite handing over a fair amount of money for a pretty basic lunch. It’s solely the food that keeps us coming back, and if that aspect of the deli were to go downhill we wouldnt be returning.

Their signature breakfast dish is simply brilliant. Ham, caremalised onion, egg, cheese, avocado, black pudding with a light sweet warming chilli sauce. One of the best best brunch/breakfasts I've had in Cardiff and gives places like Cafe du Chat Noir a run for their money. Yes it's small and cramped. The chances of you finding a table on a weekend are limited. But since when did people go to cafes for the decor and interior design. If you can get in, it's worth the trip.

Nothing special despite being in the Good Food Guide as a local gem. Lack of menus visible when I walked in so not fully aware what was on offer. My scrambled egg with smoked salmon on toast was tasty and the staff were friendly too. In a trendy part of the city.

Caffi hyfryd, wastad yn brysur.

Hidden away in Pontcanna - Nice coffee, lovely fresh food and quaint atmosphere. Only criticism would be portions could be a little bigger.

Called in for breakfast and the food was tasty and plentiful, if unusual fare. I had “the works” which as it implies was a large meal and very tasty. Unfortunately the overall experience isn’t glowing as: condensation was dripping from the roof, the staff were far from friendly and it was generally pricey. Also,for me, the venue is a touch cramped. I understand that some people will love this place and that’s evident from other reviews, but it’s not for me. I very doubt that I’ll be back.

Tasty!!! Onion marmalade . Left with a jar it was too yummy! Great location friendly staff

Ordered a cappuccino, scotch egg and salad and it came to almost a tenner. Scotch egg was very runny and cold(the yolk should be softly cooked), the "coleslaw" was roughly chopped red cabbage in cheap mayo, the potato salad (two lumps of spuds and nothing else) the same. The salad consisted of 5 olives, bagged lettuce and 4 tiny tomatoes. At home I would cut the tomatoes and olives, dress the salad, and any coleslaw or potato salad I would make uses scant use of mayo and more use of creme fraiche, fresh herbs,spring onions, lemon juice etc. Why go out for this? Lazy, careless and cheap cooking. Given the very short menu you'd think they could do those tiny things well. Siom enfawr.I won't be back.

Been here a few times and I enjoy it every time. Love the decor, tasty food which has a homemade feel, and it's in the beautiful Pontcanna area.

I stumbled across Canna Deli with a colleague today whilst looking for somewhere to grab a quick coffee. How I wish it would have been for lunch. Tucked away in a quiet courtyard along with some other lovely looking businesses the deli has a good number of tables inside. It is really well laid out. We received a really friendly welcome and had quite a chuckle with the guys behind the counter. We enjoyed good coffee and delicious snacks. It was only when we sat at a table we saw the menu, a little bit of something for everyone. We will definitely be back for lunch very soon. Keep up the great work.

Coffee was good. Told the staff where I was sat when I ordered but I still had to get up and show my face at the counter to get my coffee brought over. Female staff member has no idea why manners are. Ordered the scrambled eggs w chilli and avo, when the food arrived it was without the chilli. Asked at the counter and the girl acknowledged the fault in a way that told me she knew the meal wasn’t complete. She then says she would have to find the single bottle of sirarcha and bring it over - no apology given. There is no way they can justify the price of the food here when the general customer experience is so bad. This was my first and only visit.

Expensive but awesome. Eliot X

Visited Canna Deli for lunch and was blown away by the delicious food on offer from the menu and the deli. A great variety of welsh gifts to purchase and a wonderful atmosphere. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Definitely worth a visit.

Good brunch menu but the afternoon offering not quite so sublime

Lovely surroundings ans a great coffee

Rude staff. Very limited and expensive menu

.,sooo relaxing and friendly .def go there again Lovely food .brilliant service and lovely people .enjoyed it No stress

I often visit this oasis of excellence after getting my Daniel Gooch bread from Kings Rd Farmer’s market. The brunch menu is interesting, always some tasty things on the counter and the coffee sensational. They also sell an interesting selection of artisan condiments and preserves.

Visité a unos amigos en Cardiff y decidimos probar un lugar nuevo para desayunar un domingo lluvioso por la mañana. . Buscamos el brunch Cardiff en Instagram y este fue el primer lugar que surgió y estoy muy contento de haberlo hecho. Los huevos escalfados eran para morirse, el salmón era abundante y todo tenía un precio extremadamente razonable a pesar de ser de origen local. Estaba bastante tranquilo cuando entramos, pero en 10 minutos se tomaron todas las mesas, por lo que obviamente es un lugar popular. ¡Definitivamente regresaré en mi próximo viaje a Gales!

What a special place. A true taste of Wales.Fresh home cooked Welsh food. Delicious. Can recommend the coffee and the Gary’s breakfast.

We have just bought the 2019 Good Food Guide and spotted Canna Deli among the well known Cardiff eateries. Se we finally turned up today 19 Dec and enjoyed a good and tasty light lunch. This is just the sort of place that Cardiff needs and is so short of at present. Long may it last - and hopefully grow across the culinary desert of Cardiff.

After buying Artisan bread and honey from Kings Rd Farmer’s market, brunch at Canna Deli. Great food, made with passion, served by friendly staff. Ham cheese on ciabatta with an egg in top!! Toasty!

You need deep pockets to shop here. We visited during the summer & the frowns on the faces of the people working there when they saw us enter, said it all....'your types aren't welcome here' 😶😕judged by the way we dress! I have long hair for a man & dress like a biker(cuz I am) The food isn't as fresh as they make our either, nor is it as local as it should be...it's all just for show. People only use this deli because it's the 'in place to be seen in' pfff, I grow my own organic, locally produced pesticide free veg & fruit ~ which is more tastier than everything they sell. Stuck up describes their attitude perfectly - I'll never go 🔙 😤

Cracking staff, banging milkshakes

Possible the best sandwich in Cardiff!! 👍🏻😊

I came here last year with a friend of mine who had been before. I love finding new places to have brunch and this is definitely a good find. Although small, it's a lovely place and the food is gorgeous. I will definitely be back.

Now that Cibo has shut, down the road I was stuck for a venue pre rugby but the Canna Deli is a worthy replacement . With lovely food and interesting beers and gins I can heartily recommend it. Staff are very friendly and service is cheery with prices modest. Don’t forget to get some cheese to take home. In an era of rubbish chain cafes and restaurants three cheers for an independent operation .

A little gem in the heart of Pontcanna. You will go a long way to find a flat white coffee as good as they serve here. Their scrambled egg with avocado or smoked salmon is delicious as is the mint and pea soup we had at the weekend. All served with a helping of delicious bread. Welsh speaking as well. Pob hwyl ichi.

Lovely atmosphere in this homely deli. Food was so beautiful and delicious. Look forward to coming back again.

As i live in North Wales when in Cardiff this is my favorite Café! Lovely food and excellent service every time. The Garyn Breakfast and Flat White is a must!

Lovely location, friendly staff, great dishes made from fresh, quality ingredients.

One of my regular go to places for coffee in Pontcanna (my usual being salami/coleslaw sandwich + a latté). Their coffee is 👌 and food is quality. Indoors is cozy with lots of Welsh products on offer and if it's dry, you can bring the dog as they have great outdoor seating.

The food at Canna Deli is very, very good. There is a selection of locally sourced, tasty sandwiches, brunch and great coffee on offer. They also offer a deli service, selling fantastic looking cakes, meats and Welsh wines. That alone should be worth 5 stars. But the attitude of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. If you're not speaking the Welsh tongue as you enter, prepare for the staff to look at you as if you were scraped from their shoe. After my first visit I thought I'd give the place a second chance, but the staff were even worse the second time around. They talked over me to each other in welsh and later ignored my friend who'd been waiting to serve welsh speakers. Welsh, born and bred and proud but I won't be going back.

Visited with friends and boyfriend, absolutely amazing service and felt like being at home. Staff were friendly and the food mouthwatering! Had the Brixton Brunch and the Granola and both were fantastic! Best Flat White i've had in Cardiff! A must visit!

What a treat. Excellent service and fantastic cup of coffee. A meal to remember.I can recommend the Welsh rarebit. And the French pastries that followed.

Food was lovely and reasonably priced. However, both visits were marred by less than friendly service.

Had a great evening at the canna deli for a special birthday - great food - tapas and freshly cooked pizza on site - a selection of drinks from locally brewed real ale beer, prosecco Pinot Grigio - all lovenly and locally sourced - same goes for the food which was fully traceable

stumbled across this place whilst out walking the dog on a beautiful sunny sunday morning. We had the scrambled egg on toast with smoked salmon and a side of black pudding, brixton brunch which was avocado, poached egg and haloumi on granary toast and the canna cheese and homemade coleslaw in a ciabatta followed with 3 black coffees. All absolutely delicious. We will be back

experienced the monthly tapas evening last night, the food was excellent with good variety of pretty traditional tapas . atmosphere very warm and friendly, obviously as part of their heritage a large number of the customers were welsh spoken which was very nice to see in the welsh capital even though i cannot speak it personally. very good value for money and a very nice glass of red (merlot) recommended which was very good.all of the staff were extremely friendly and attentive,

Canna D was recommended by a friend. Difficult place to find as it was next door to the coop up a small Street. But it was well worth a visit. The place was busy with locals. What we wanted was not on the menu but our order was quickly taken and a special breakfast was created. Good start to the weekend (shame about the rugby result). Excellent home cooked food with high quality ingredients. Diolch Mawr.

Enjoyed a lovely relaxing Sunday morning breakfast here. The location is great and the menu is varied. The food is excellent and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Diolch yn fawr!

The best scrambled eggs brunch ever -with chilly and avocado Exceptional experience and great vibe and customer service Well worth a visit in the trendy pontcanna quarter of Cardiff

Amazing coffee & milkshakes, quality local ingredients and dishes lovingly prepared by Gwen which makes you feel that they care about the customer experience, reasonably priced, and take away's too. I only wish they opened on Mondays too and served meals/tapas in the evenings as I d probably never use my kitchen ever again! Best coffee shop in Cardiff!
