Coffi Lab Llandaff in Cardiff

Pet friendly! Nice coffee with great vibe

Went with my sister and the coffee and atmosphere was brilliant. Love that you can take your dog in with you. Wonderful

Always busy but for a reason. This place is a gem in Llandaff Village. Dog friendly and coffee is very nice. Not recommended for people on diets as very challenging to stay away from those sweet treats!

Awful manger, just a liar. Totally wasted my time that I could’ve used on something useful. Wish I never came to this place from the start

Great coffee and food. Lovely staff. Clean (unlike the big chains). Go there a couple of times a week up until now Here’s the BUT. the best seats along wall are always taken by laptop users. Two people taking up tables of four, one person taking up tables of two. Not a coffee in sight. They stay for hours and hours.

It's such a lovely place . And beautiful and tasty latte ☕️😍 👌🏾.

Cute coffee shop on charming street, smiling nice staff and open space with dogs welcome. Pastries need improving in flavor and portions for the price. I’ll definitely go back for the coffee and environment.

A very nice place to visit; the staff are always polite and friendly, and their mocha is amazing! Along with that, I really enjoy their cake options, and the cinnamon bun, along with the danish pastries are very nice! The hot foccacia they do is also a go too option. All reasonably priced, and to top it off, they support Guide Dogs and they're dog friendly.

It's nice inside, lovely staff and dog friendly. It's just such a shame that their coffee is aweful ☹️. Their cakes are good though.

Great place and wonderful concept. Sadly coffee was extremely strong and disappointing. The oat milk was also poor - Oatly barista is the best!

Really good coffee and the lemon drizzle muffin and salted caramel shortbread were outstanding

Lovely atmosphere, absolutely loved saying hello to the fellow dog owners. Staff were just lovely, couldn’t give my fluffy boy enough attention not to mention the beautiful latte art.

This is a very popular branch of this new chain. And it's my local one. Many people seem to like it. But, for me, it's just too busy, too loud, too crowded. It's like one big loud party. I guess it's not what I look for in a coffee shop. The furnishing don't absorb any of the echoing sounds and I find it hard to think and relax in this branch only. The rest are more peaceful. Think of it as Paddington Station! Coffee is OK. Cakes and snacks over priced! Staff seem frantic Not such a great service in here when it's busy at weekend. Pastries with meat labeled as cheese and touching other vegetation food. Assistant wasn't interested when I said I should be on separate plate in the display.

Staff were all really friendly and service was exceptional

I mean….. it’s ok……. Busy, but we still found a table and chairs no problem, service was quick, facilities were clean and we love the dogs 🐶 food was great! What you do for Guide Dogs is fantastic. However…… I have consumed more coffee than I should ever admit (especially to my GP), but the barrister staff need more training or experience. My coffee was burnt (the milk) creating that almost sour after taste in your mouth. It’s lucky they give you free bottles of water to wash the flavour away. The staff need to understand the difference between good customer service, ideal chit / chat and social filters. I was stop by a male employee (stature of a jockey for reference) who made some comment on my T-shirt choice in a a negative fashion! After seeing my obvious facial expression he immediately said “I’m joking” - to which I responded with “you have an odd sense of humour”. Before telling me that he collects “skulls”. Not that I asked for that information not cared about his personal interests. We come to a vendor such as yourselves for a “product” being food and beverage, along with good customer service. Basic inter personal skills and manors as well as being able to deliver a satisfactory good cup of coffee are the fundamental essentials for your business and on my visit you failed on both. Training, training, training.

Dogs. Dog with its head on the table. Dogs barking. Dogs in a cafe with food. Tables not cleaned between dog visits. This would be a lovely cafe with lovely coffee if they didn't encourage the dogs. So pretty disgusting.

I love this place. The staff are very friendly and courteous. There are usually seats, even during busy times and the staff even help me find a table because they know I have my laptop with me and I'm always after a place to sit near a plug socket. The cakes and sandwiches are lovely; my only complaint is that the coffee is sometimes quite bitter. Honestly, won't put me off returning though. It's only made better by the amount of dogs that frequent it! Top marks :)

Really nice people really nice atmosphere.

Nice for a quick breakfast/lunch or coffee ☕️ break. Reasonable prices.

Four of us had to share a table for two while two people occupied two tables each with their laptops. Ok if they have to work but to take up that amount of space is u necessary. Teacake was good but coffee wasn't hot enough for me.

And they serve dogs as well which is really nice

Nice place & it's dog friendly.Unfortunately they don't do just plain ham,cheese toasties etc..they have added extras e g. Pesto etc which I don't like.I did try a toasted sandwich but didn't like it.

Always great coffee and cake. Our server Aimee was so lovely and friendly

Simple cafe. We were there on a Sunday morning (around 11am). It was very full and it took a while until we had our cappuccino. As everywhere on the island, the price is slightly higher than at home.

Just loved the service from Aimee.

Great coffee. Lovely friendly staff, nice relaxed atmosphere

Great place to meet for coffi with a friend or have lunch with the family

Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant vibrant coffee shop staff very friendly and approachable. Service excellent, coffee and food at a good standard and very enjoyable

Had the Prosciutto focaccia and it was stunning bread tasted so fresh. Coffee was lovely, would love to see more alternative milk options however it was a lovely place to have a quiet lunch.

The Lovely Coffee establishment offers a pleasant ambiance and welcomes canine companions.

Lovely coffee, be prepared for a wait. Lots serving but takes a while.

I tend to go here because they have longer opening hours than elsewhere. Cakes and pastries are good. I'm one of the customers who goes here in spite of the dogs welcome policy, not because of it! Most of the dogs / owners I have no issues with, but sometimes there are really noisy dogs, or ones whose owners don't prevent them from jumping up / licking strangers / tripping them when they're carrying a tray etc. Yes, I know I should go somewhere else, but sometimes there's nowhere else open... Rant over 😂

The coffee was good, we didn't eat there but it was pleasant there and we can recommend it.

A lovely, but very busy and popular cafe, (it was mothering Sunday). A bit of a queue to order and just managed to get the last veggie focaccia, however the staff were excellent, friendly and helpful and very professional considering how busy it was. The food was excellent and good value for money. The cafe is dog friendly and has a very relaxed and informal atmosphere. We really enjoyed our lunch, and I'm looking forward to a repeat visit.

Nice place.Dog friendly.Gets really busy.

I frequent coffee shops regularly. However, I have never had to wait so long for a coffee as I had to in Coffee Lab, despite having a lot of staff on duty. After 15mins of waiting, in which we had finished our cakes/sweets snacks I went up to ask. The lady that had paid behind me was being served her coffee. I asked politely how long my coffee would be as I had paid before the lady that had already been served and I was rudely told there are two making coffees and it depends on who picks up what order. She then went on to say that they were busy and had lots of orders to work through, with no apology. However, I have been in much busier coffee shops that work through orders MUCH more quickly. I wasn't the only one complaining either, I witnessed one guy complaining he had been waiting almost 20mins for a tea. When my coffee was ready they called my name and placed my coffee down in a takeaway cup and I explained I had ordered it to drink in. The lady then rolled her eyes and began to make another one and when ready handed the tray over to me without any apology or acknowledgement. The coffee was OK but not worth the long wait and rudeness. It has put me off ever visiting again!

Great place to grab a coffee and a cake. Dog friendly and a load of seating so no problem getting one!

We love coming to Coffi Lab with our dog. Coffee and other food and drinks are great. Always a friendly atmosphere and very welcoming!

Brilliant service. Had a stunning ham and cheese toastie and thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the dog's!!

Coffi Labs (been to several CL locations my favourite being Y fenni) has superb coffee, great food and generally great ambience. So why one star? To get readers attention ! I understand and appreciate the doggy theme but I, like, at minimum, a very sizeable proportion of the population am not a dog lover and shouldn't be expected to be. SOME dog owners have this attitude and do not honour THEIR obligation to keep their pooch under control. Especially with respect to trip hazards! And yes I know before I'm reminded many customers are often more objectionable than the average family pet. I want Coffi Lab to continue its dog friendly policy but perhaps on the basis of segregated usage ....an area should be available to which dogs are excluded. Let me remind readers I'm a real fan of CL and not a dog hater (Fritz my childhood rough Collie would have loved CL..!)

Ordered a selection of pastries. All inedible. Very processed and lacking quality, so dry. Such a disappointment.

Super pot of real tea(proper tea leaf) in a snazzy teapot lovely cake and lovely helpful staff defiantly shall be going back here.

A lovely, spacious coffee shop, with a great selection of food and treats. Good coffee, with a nice atmosphere. Dog friendly and accessible. Friendly, helpful staff. Wheelchair accessible toilets. A lovely space for a coffee and a catch up, or to work from. Highly recommended.

Always good service here. Lovely busy shopping area. Close to Llandaff Cathedral a historical site of great interest.

Very nice cafe, dog friendly. Pity the sandwiches had sold out.

Brilliant place, lots of tables. Lovely for families with children and dogs. Very friendly. Will be coming back.

I visit Coffi Lab almost every week. Great tasting coffee and friendly staff. Also the place is full of dogs for a bonus! Its just about the only place we can take out dog, something about the open layout and the number of dogs makes her not guard our table and bark at people, so if we ever want to take her for food with us. Its where we go! The welsh cakes, toast, and Chai Latte are my favourite things here.

Lovely drinks, cakes, and sandwiches. Nice staff. Clearly very loved spot by locals as it’s sometimes quite busy.

I arrived at 17.35 and was told that they weren't serving. I informed the gentleman that was serving that I only wanted to cakes to take out. He raised his eyes at me and told me 'we stop serving ar 17.30'. I repeated that I only wanted to take cakes out and he ignored me. I regularly visit Coffi Lab and have never had an issue before. Good for you if you can turn away customers, this customer will not be retuning!

It’s a nice modern coffee shop with a selection of lovely looking food. We arrived at 10am on a Wednesday and it was extremely busy and got quite loud. The coffee was nice (I had an americano and do drink a lot of coffee) but a bit too bitter for my liking. I would come back but maybe at a different time during the day.

A perfectly fine coffee shop in a nice spot in Llandaf village high street. It’s very popular/busy. Plenty of space inside and it feels bright and airy. Lots of tables and they’re not too close together either. Service is queue and order, then wait to the side for your drinks (it’s the same whether you’re taking your drink away or drinking inside). There can be quite a queue as it’s popular. If your food’s being prepared then they’ll bring it over to your table. It’s dog-friendly with a little menu of dog treats, so there’s lots of dog walkers there. They do have house rules for dogs by the entrance, which is sensible. They collect for guide dogs which is a nice touch and there’s a charity board too. They have decaf coffee available. The morello blondie I had was really nice. The traybake cake slices are on the small side, but that works for me.

Excellent service. Really friendly team and great coffee.

Lovely place to drop in and have a break . Good range of food and drink . Staff very friendly and welcoming .

Absolutely loved it. Very comfy chairs (quite rare these days). Coffees and cakes delicious 😋.

Favourite coffee shop in the area!

It was truly good there is so much choice at Llandaff it was difficult to choose....

Fantastic atmospheric doggo friendly cafe, the coffee is gorgeous, staff are lovely you just have to pay a visit. 6 stars as Google only had 5.

Lovely coffee shop. Service was 5* too, really friendly and much appreciated tasteful decaf too! Happily go back as there is so much to try and they welcome dogs!!

Lovely place to grab a coffee/tea and a muffin and have a catch up with an old friend.

A lovely little hideaway for you and your dog.. Great food and drinks and treats for your pooch.!

First class coffee shop with good products and a rating of 5++,they have got it right on

This place is the best coffee in the UK. Coffee bean was So fresh and it must be high quality. Bread looks good. So it is difficult to choose one. Reasonable price and generous free wifi. If I stay in Cardiff more, I would definitely pop in there.

Go to Coffi Lab Llandaff regularly. Always friendly, with a very good choice of hot drinks, snacks, cakes etc. Free to park for 2 hours in local car park, ideal for meeting friends. Their dog friendly policy means that any of my friends can go there.

Nice coffee shop, shame it's so dog friendly.

Large, open feeling to coffee shop, great coffee and staff

Wonderful coffee shop with great, friendly staff and amazing cakes. Highly recommend it! Dog friendly is a plus too

adorable dog-friendly cafe with a great cause, fantastic vegan options and a friendly staff

a very cute cafe with a nice homely atmosphere. dog friendly and helping out guide dogs in the meantime which is really lovely. plus great food and drinks, including vegan options!! really love it!!

Reliably good coffee each time I visit any branch of Coffi Lab. Nothing not yo like about the food, service, style & general dog friendliness!

Excellent service, and very polite extremely the blonde 👱‍♀️ very well spoken 👏 👍

Turns into a zoo after mid-morning. Virtually impossible to sit here quietly and do any work (if that's what you wanted to do). A bit pricey, too.

Lovely cafe with a lot of drink and food choices - cakes and pastries galore. The staff were friendly and there was a warm and relaxed atmosphere suitable for all ages. Dog friendly, changing room facilities in the disabled toilet and a separate unisex toilet too. Prices reasonable and not far from Llandaff Cathedral

Slightly limited but a welcome addition to an area lacking anything like this

Coffee and cake on a Friday lunchtime. Quite noisy when it's this busy - but also good to see.

Lovely cafe in Llandaff. Lots of happy dog owners.

Just a really open coffee shop, with a nice ambience.

Nice selection of coffee and atmosphere. Have coffee beans and ground coffee to buy in store

Called in for a coffee. Lovely atmosphere with all the dogs

The tables all clean , very friendly

A relatively new spacious coffee shop in popular Llandaff, friendly relaxed atmosphere in modern surroundings, clean tables, slow WiFi, dog friendly, limited menu choice.

Great coffee shop with good range of trendy drinks eg turmeric latte and many delicious cakes. It is dog friendly and many different breeds were there today with very little trouble! Chilled and no pressure if you want to sit and chat as it is large

Had a few minutes and didn't think anything would be open for a quick bite and drink. Pleasantly surprised it was open I think until 530. Lovely person serving behind the counter. Even getting near closing there were still nice cakes and buns. Recommend a stop!

1st time here, meeting up with my neice on a Wednesday afternoon, was very busy but managed to get a table, friendly staff. Toilets could be monitored regularly, but nice place in general :)

Fantastic coffee shop, lovely staff and my little dog big Ralph loves it in there

Lovely after a walk...hot chocolate yummy...busy but nice

Great place to go for a coffee. Tables very clean, and staff very approachable and friendly. Lovely selection of cakes to go with my flat white. This was the first time I visited the Llandaf store, and it definitely won’t be the last. Also loved how dogs were welcome too 🐶

Relatively new coffee shop in Llandaff Village. Coffee is expensive. 1 size cup and not that big at over £3 a cup. Aside from loads of cakes, food is limited to a few fancy sarnies. One thing that sets this place apart is how dog friendly it is, with plenty of evidence that they take the caring of our beloved pooches further than most. Atmosphere is good. Mellow Sunday mornings as part of our dog walking is a treat. If you like a peaceful time, avoid it just after the schools empty. Here's where they seem to congregate, which to me is also quite nice.

Nice friendly place.will go again...

Nice spacious coffee outlet with nice range of snacks. Coffee is lovely and so are the people running it. Dog friendly too. After we ordered our coffees, the staff brought two dog bowls with water for our canine friends

Took our dog here for a coffi and biscuit. Brilliant place

The chap who clears up and puts chairs and tables straight operates at a frantic pace. So quick in fact he has no regard for those seeking a quiet coffee. Asked for extra hot latte's but they were tepid. Sent them back to be reheated. They poured ours away and remade fresh coffee. What a waste. Not a great experience overall, the place just lacks something.

Good coffee and good ambiance! Staff were friendly on the three visits I had made there

There’s nothing all that wrong with coffi lab but there’s nothing that great about it either. Most places are dog friendly so theming it so seems somewhat redundant these days. Coffee is average, the food is drastically overpriced and generally of average quality as well.

Best Chai Latte I have had in a while. Latte was also fabulous 👌

Can't go wrong with this place :)

Felt I had to leave a review after coming across this coffee shop. Great atmosphere and good quality coffees. This is a dog friendly place to go after a walk in the park. Well worth a visit and the member of staff spoke Welsh.

Absolutely love this place. The coffee tastes amazing and my boy says the smoothies are tasty. Good selection of cakes and food. And for us more importantly dog friendly, our dog loves the pup drink and definitely seems to think the dog biscuits are tasty but how quickly he eats them. Become quite a regular here now x

Picked up coffee, Sandwiches and muffins earlier today. Firstly the coffee was superb and really well made. The sandwich was excellent and great quality. My only hang up is the red velvet cupcake is a few days old and was a brick. So I'm not too happy about that. Regardless, a decent store but check the items you are buying are freshly made.

Friendly, efficient service. A good range of hot and cold drinks, and tasty treats. Also dog friendly which is an added bonus!
