Always friendly; generous serving of well-flavoured coffee; pastries are fresh and tasty.

This cafe isn’t too far from where I work but I’ve never visited until one day I decided to take a stroll. I checked their website and saw the picture of the Monte Cristo melt which contained Welsh ham, Turkey and Swiss cheese. At £6 it was a little steep but I just couldn’t get the picture of the melted cheese out of my head so off I went. The cafe itself was ok, and the service seemed decent enough, I ordered a packet of crisps and a drink and waited for my sandwich to be made and grilled. It didn’t take long and I was given a sealed paper bag so I headed back to work all excited and you can imagine the disappointment I had when I opened the bag to see the second picture! £6 for what looked like cheap white bread, sandwiched over a slice of wafer thin ham and a slice of square cheddar cheese that I’d expect from a burger van. Would I ever visit again? Definitely not.

Hey guys, this could be such a great place, but it's too expensive for most locals. Maybe a rethink and a new menu would work for you? I work in hospitality so I know what to expect, but it has prices right for the bay area, but not for here.

This Coffee Shop has the opportunity to be an excellent business within a community, but it fails miserably in customer service. The owner is miserable, moody, unfriendly, and no engagement, and this is not how to promote your business. Prices ae expensive, however, the last Friday of every month, coffee is £1, which is good marketing. There is a deli and seating area at the back which is enjoyable. A smile does not cost, a morning greeting does not hurt, and I would urge the owners/assistants to greatly improve on their interaction with a customer. I have made a decision not to visit this shop again, a shame, because I would rather give my hard-earned cash to a local business than a commercial chain.

I had the salt beef sandwich Friday and took it to the nearby park to eat. OMG the best sandwich I have ever had. Melt in the mouth beef with a lush pickle to top it off. I will definitely be back. A great place to grab a bite and take a proper break from work.

En primer lugar, es extremadamente caro. Entiendo que está utilizando productos de calidad, pero los precios son demasiado extremos. Incluso más caro que los precios de Londres. Cualquier cantidad superior a 5 para una tostada de queso (básica) no es justificable. Sin embargo, aparte de esto, el personal es más que grosero y parece que no estoy solo leyendo las reseñas. No entiendo por qué personas tan groseras tomarían un trabajo que involucra el servicio al cliente. Todo lo que necesito decir se ha dicho en las reseñas antes. ¿Te hace preguntarte cuál es su problema si son tan groseros con cada cliente? Es una pena porque tiene el potencial de ser una pequeña cafetería encantadora, pero hay una gran cantidad de decepciones, principalmente el personal.

Este café está ubicado convenientemente para los trabajadores cercanos que no desean ir a la ciudad de Cardiff a comer algo o tomar una taza de café. Desafortunadamente, dos miembros del personal que trabajan en la tienda son extremadamente groseros. Si bien solo estoy dedicando unos minutos a recoger una bebida caliente para llevar, ha llegado a un punto en el que me siento incómodo incluso entrando en la tienda. Hay dos miembros principales del personal que han estado en la tienda durante muchos años y que son el problema. Nunca espero que las personas sean demasiado amables o efusivas (todos somos humanos), pero no es un caso de esto. Estos dos miembros del personal son abiertamente groseros y yo (y otros) incluso nos preguntamos si están intentando hacer que el propietario pierda la costumbre. Un ejemplo (que ha sucedido en más de una ocasión), he entrado en el café y no ha habido clientes. Los dos miembros del personal han estado frente a la entrada de la tienda y, intencionalmente, me han dado la espalda y continuado su conversación. Entonces he esperado varios minutos para que se dieran la vuelta. Un segundo ejemplo, (que le ha pasado a mi amigo delante de mí), la directora se volvió hacia su colega e hizo un comentario sarcástico al preparar nuestras bebidas. Un tercer ejemplo es que cuando finalmente te atienden, esperan en silencio para que los ordenes, y de hecho me arrebatan el dinero de la mano. Debo decir que nunca escribo comentarios (en parte porque no puedo molestarme y en parte porque entiendo que todos somos humanos y que tenemos días malos). Sin embargo, me parece sorprendente el comportamiento y la actitud del personal hasta el punto de que no puedo creer que realmente esté sucediendo. Es casi como una broma. Realmente creo que es una pena y solo escribo esto porque conozco a muchas personas que tienen cosas malas que decir sobre el personal. Me pregunto por qué el personal es así? Seguramente debe haber una razón. . . Ya que no se trata solo de que no sean molestados. Están actuando activa e intencionalmente de esta manera. ¿Quizás no están contentos con la forma en que la administración maneja las cosas? No lo sé. . . Pero creo que debe haber más cosas. Asesoramiento a la gerencia: Por favor, resuelva esto: es realmente molesto cuando actúan de esta manera. Muchas personas en el área han dejado de ir a esta cafetería debido a su comportamiento, pero he seguido yendo, ya que es mucho más fácil. Pero ahora no voy a ser como es realmente ofensivo.

Walk past it every day. It was Friday and I fancied a treat so I popped in for a coffee and sausage sandwich. I pointed to a dry little sausage panini and said can I have this and an Americano please (I asked for a bit of tomato on the panini but she said it would cost extra so I declined). The lady said 'thats £7.80 please...'. Being British, I just inwardly screamed 'WHAAAAT???' until it was too late to change my mind. Eventually I couldn't hold it in and said 'I'm terribly sorry, but that's extremely expensive'. the owner just said 'This isn't Greggs you know, we only use top quality ingredients'. Well I've eaten the panini and drunk the coffee now. The panini was a bit dry and the coffee is reasonable. Nothing 'Top Quality' about it.

Only ever been here once and I have to agree with the majority here about the prices. I had a takeaway bacon, brie and cranberry toastie with a can and crisps it came to nearly £8 which is ridiculous. Can't complain about the quality of the food but charging that price is a rip off. This place even isn't in the centre of Cardiff to charge customers that much!

As the cafe is conveniently placed a few doorsteps from where I walk, I've been popping in for a coffee and the occasional flapjack on my lunch break every now and then. The seating area is cosy and the perfect spot for me to do some work on my laptop. It's just a shame that the food is so overpriced and the service isn't the friendliest. Not so bad if you're just popping in for a coffee but today I decided to push the boat out and treat myself to a sandwich - that was until I was told the prices. £4 for a simple sandwich - up to £6 if you want to eat in! I advised them that I would look elsewhere and swiftly made my exit.

Sadly this place is not as good as when it first opened. In my opinion it is over priced. Also the small dining section is a tad awkward with the height of the seating in relation to the tables.

I visited this quirky little coffee/deli for lunch with a colleague (as I had done so before). Had a pleasant experience before, but this time not so much. My colleague ordered just before me and said "i'll meet you in there" - meaning in the sitting area around the corner. I placed my order and proceeded in to the sitting area. About 10 minutes later, one of the staff brought my sandwich in a bag (rather than on a plate like my colleague) and rudely barked at me that I hadn't paid the extra charge for sitting in. I apologised and stated that no-one had asked me whether I was sitting in or taking out when I placed my order. I thought that since I was talking to my colleague in front, the lady who took my order had assumed I was sitting in. I tried to offer to pay for the extra charge but the particular member of staff refused to listen to me and insisted that she "didn't want an argument!" I was made to feel as though I had purposely deceived the girl behind the counter to avoid paying the extra charge. How ridiculous. Safe to say the rest of the staff I encountered were polite and friendly, however this one particular individual was rude, confrontational and degrading. How one bad experience can put you off for life. Note to Coffee a gogo - IF IT IS SUCH A BIG DEAL TO KNOW WHETHER YOUR CUSTOMER IS TAKING AWAY OR EATING IN, MAKE SURE YOU ASK! DON'T TRY TO FIGHT YOUR CUSTOMERS!

I dont know how this place has the cheek to charge £3.50 for a grated cheese sandwich with a tiny bit of cheap sweet pickle. Because the cheese is finely grated, it is impossible to eat without making a mess. I was tempted by the beef sandwich but they want £4.50 for this. A very tired looking set of sandwich fillings in the counter. Suggest you avoid

Love this little coffee shop, it opens from 8am, and serves hot and cold drinks, sandwiches made to order, jacket potatoes. They do salad boxes, Cake shop and snacks. All reasonably priced to. They have a mini seating area at the back of the shop where you can eat I'm if you wish. Staff are very friendly, polite and always have a smile. Would recommend a visit if your in the area.

Since this is round the corner from my office, I've been a few times to grab a quick sandwich for lunch for the sake of convenience. However I'll be giving it a miss in future. On my previous visits, the food has been mediocre yet highly overpriced for what it is. Today, the food was awful - a chicken and pesto mayo sandwich on a hard baguette. There was hardly any chicken in the fridge section at the front - I presume the person serving would have gone and got some more. But no, she used the tiny amount of chicken that was left over and made up for this by coating the entire thing in about 2 gallons of the pesto mayo, presumably so that I wouldn't notice. Needless to say, one of the most unpleasant things I've ever eaten. Don't waste your time with this place - there are plenty of coffee shops and sandwich bars in Cardiff that are a million times nicer.

Have been here a few times now because it's so close to work and no complaints. Freshly made sandwiches and a wide choice, friendly staff (although one member of staff tends to rush you a little as you decide, but not really a problem). Nice decor in the sit down area.

Was hungry one morning going to work and decided to call at the café and get some toast to take away. Extortionate price now £2 for two pieces of medium sliced bread with just butter and marmite. Price had rocketed from £1.20 for two slices to £2. Shame the place has gone downhill as where I work we were supporters of this café, but not any more. Miserable manageress now running the place.

Had I written this review 12 months ago it would have received 5 stars. Unfortunately, the café has consistently gone down-hill. Prices have hiked whereas quality of food preparation, coffee and customer service has vastly deteriorated. Recent visits have left me consistently feeling ripped off. Like many of my colleagues I won't be visiting again.

This is by far my fave place to go for lunch - fresh food made to order with staff who go that extra mile to make you feel welcome. My particular favourite lunch here consists on the hot wraps, which are delicious!

This is a mediocre coffee shop at best. The coffee is always bitter and the milk burnt. I've dropped in for coffee on the way to work numerous times and given it a fair old chance but I won't be going again, there are far better choices for coffee on my route to work. The place is overpriced and the cakes are bog standard.

I've come here several times now and I never cease to be amazed at how good the espresso is. Had lunch this time: just a sandwich and the aforementioned espresso. The sandwich was well made with good quality ingredients and the side salad was fresh (as expected given the quality of the espresso and cakes I've had before). The price was on the high end of normal for independent coffee shops but the espresso is on the low end of the normal price for such places so it more than balances out if coffee is the main thing bought here like is the case with me. The only disadvantage I have encountered is the fact that the seating is at the back and only accessible through a back lane. This is a very minor thing that is not really worth worrying about in all but the worst weather as the route is fairly sheltered and the only inconvenience is taking your umbrella with you if you make a return to the counter in the rain. The atmosphere is relaxed, the music is to my taste but not loud enough to be intrusive anyway so taste in music doesn't matter. The staff are polite, friendly (in a professional way) and willing to go out of their way to help, a fairly unusual trait for staff in independent coffee shops in this area sadly (there are very notable exceptions to this "rule" including this shop of course). Overall, a very nice place to come for a quiet coffee, especially for those who appreciate good coffee in good environments.

The cafe was lovely and cosy and the food was delicious. However, I didn't like that it was in 2 seperate buildings (why?!) and every time I wanted a cup of tea I had to go out in the pouring rain to order one. The cafe was advertised as 'no office, no problem' but the wi fi didn't work and the staff were dismissive when I asked if it would be fixed. I was unable to get any work done there as I needed internet access. The waitresses were inattentive and our dirty plates and cups were left on the table for 2 hours, despite her walking past our table multiple times. Not impressed.

The best coffee outside of latin America. Great service from the people at this lovely coffee bar. Very cosmopolitan in it's style. I nearly always pick up a coffee on the way to Cardiff Uni and their house bean is much much better than Costa or Starbucks. The Food is "deli" style with lots of different choice every day. Great Cheese Melts with soup when it's cold!

Paré para tomar un café. Las bebidas eran la tarifa habitual de Starbucks. Sin embargo, el lugar era extremadamente ruidoso (a pesar de no estar tan ocupado), fue debido al techo alto que hizo que el lugar hiciera eco. No es un ambiente confortable.

I said I’d never visit a Starbucks again after my last experience, however here I am paying extortionate prices for average coffee. It’s so overrated! The prices are ridiculous. I wouldn’t mind if I enjoyed what I was purchasing but It was awful. however the staff were always extremely nice when I complained it’s just a shame their products are not.

I can’t think of any other coffee place that comes close. The food was great, and the menu has something for everyone. Make use of the lovely window seats to watch the world go by. I will definitely be returning here, and highly recommend to others! Thank you so much.
