Good cup of coffee, only down side the parking around Wellfield Road Albany Rosd area is terrible.

My friend and I both had chai latte. I had it with coconut milk, my friend had it with dairy milk. I had the raspberry and almond tart, my friend had white chocolate roulade. It cost £16. Quick service, was busy at the time too about 5pm.

07/03/24 Very disappointed. Flat white was small and overfilled spilling into the saucers, the cake was not fresh, and our cakes were served on a saucer. I had a voucher that expires on the 17th, my app advised me after I paid, the barrister said it was my responsibility to manage my vouchers. No, I was not at all happy, far too many very poor service points, truly disgusting. My 3-star review on reflection is probably too generous.

Definitely in decline, and facing stiff competition nearby. Dirty toilets upstairs, left uncleaned from the day before. Took me two attempts to get a drink vaguely hot - cups not warmed. Response from the barista was passive aggressive. Tables uncleared and sticky. Very disappointing experience.

We went here today after having a great food some nearby..when we came in the staff asked us what do we want..and then i told them that we want to have a latte coffee..2 caramel cakes 2 brownies for takeaway and 1 of each for dine in..the thing is the staff keeps asking again and again about what i said and keeps laughing and laughing about the word i said dine in..so me and my kids and my husband kept asking each other if there's anything funny about what i said..i look at her in a very angry look..but the woman behind the counter keeps laughing on and on and on and keeps repeating it..what a very nasty manners..i feel sorry for her parents that she never learn any manners..to all the people who dine and have a coffee in this place..be aware of this woman who doesn't have any manners at all..i'm posting this so that everyone will be aware..and to the owner of this place..hope next time u hire a staff..please make sure that they have some manners..coz having proper manners won't cost u anything..

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! I went for a coffee the other day at welfeild road coffee one and was served by a young blonde waitress who was rude and obnoxious. She made no effort to make us feel welcomed and was very snappy and ignorant whilst speaking to us. It was an uncomfortable experience, one I hope doesn’t happen again as I enjoy the coffee at this place.

Had to give 3 stars as unfortunately our experience was tarnished by barista who didn’t even acknowledge us when we were stood in front of him for a few minutes. When he did serve us he was rude and condescending before speaking to the girls he worked with in a rude manner also. I think this was because he was longing for his break which he publicly announced he was going on after serving us. I asked for his name afterwards which was Tom. Shouldn’t be working in a customer facing position if he can’t be polite. Minus this, food and atmosphere was lovely though!

As a regular customer for the past year I undoubtedly believe that it is the best coffee shop in Cardiff. The staff is extremely friendly and always welcomes me with a big smile. Coffee as well as cakes, especially tea cakes, are delicious. Definitely much better than any Starbucks or other big chains ;) I often come there for studying, but it is also a great place for a catch up with family or friends. Keep it up, you're doing great!

If you need a kick up the bum in a relaxing caffeinated way then this is the place for you. If you want a healthy snack I’d say go somewhere else. The cakes are fabtastic and the tea cakes are the size of an over grown mans hand! Soooo good. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome every time you go. So I suggest shrug off the old Starbucks and get yo self to a coffee #1

We love coming to the coffee shop and staff are generally very friendly but recently we have noticed the increase in dogs coming into the main area and sitting on chairs. Also very large dogs are allowed in and to be honest there is often an odour associated with them. Please can they be limited to an area at back of the cafe if possible

The other week I noticed how friendly the server was to the customer ahead of me, a young woman, so after her order was taken I expected an equally warm welcome - without the flirty chat as I am a person of a certain age - but no, I was barely acknowledged. A one off I thought.

We were introduced to this chain by friends who always go to #coffee1 in Albany Road - the staff there are friendly, welcoming and helpful, although the shop and it's decor are a little tired, the coffee and service are great. We thought we'd try the shop in Wellfield Road on Saturday - what a contrast! Initial reaction was good - young man took our food order and assured us it would be no problem - how wrong! Got our coffee and found a seat (having been told the food would be brought to us) - half way through our coffee and still no food - went to enquire and was told they were busy. Asked what we had ordered and was given half our order, which was cold, and told they'd bring the rest, which they did later, and this was wrong! The chain may be owned by S.A.Brain (large Cardiff brewery) - but these staff certainly couldn't organise a "celebration" in a brewery - very poor!

I've visited coffee #1 numerous times, alone, taking away, or meeting friends, and I've never once had a bad experience. The place is usually busy around peak times of opening, midday, and early evening, but I've never had to wait long for a seat. The service has always been reasonably quick, and the staff are always polite and helpful. There is upstairs and outdoor seating, which is always clean minus a few left over coffee cups and plates.

Met a friend for coffee, talked at length as had loads to catch up on. We were able to talk over our coffees without feeling the need to rush, or having to order more as in some other coffee shops. Good choice of different milk, my friend only has soya milk - not a problem here, I only like skimmed, again no problem. Coffee is not the cheapest £2.45 for a regular latte, but it is a good flavoured coffee and not with a bitter after taste as some coffees have. Good place to meet for a lazy cuppa!

Not all are as good as the Pontcanna coffee shop on Cathedral Road but this one is super because of the staff - I have no reason to even be in the area and I cross Cardiff for my mocha and fresh orange juice and if feeling really bad a lovely croissant.
