Coffi Lab Rhiwbina in Cardiff

ok coffee but wouldn't return due to dogs barking in the cafe itself, leave them outside, why spoil it for others.....shame

The current oasis in Rhiwbina village ☕

Really enjoyed my caramel latte and cheese & ham toasties, followed by a slice of wonderful carrot cake

Lovely staff, lovely service. Always happy to help and just a great atmosphere.

Used to be really great but the quality of some of food products seem to have slipped (e.g. sourdough bread). Lovely atmosphere and service is always great.

Always a calm and friendly atmosphere. Lovely chai lattes, just wish they came bigger!

Wot a morning good friends good coffee ☕️

Coffee Lab is a nice and clean place to drink tea and coffee, and they have places to sit outside in the open air

First visit to Coffi Lab today and would definitely return. Good vegan/veggie options and lovely coffee as well as nice decor 👌🏻

We love this place, come here most weekends for a coffee and either a pastry if it’s breakfast time or a yummy sandwich at lunchtime. Love the fact that it’s dog friendly and always so spotlessly clean. The staff are lovely and the surroundings are great, modern but welcoming. It has made me laugh that a couple of people who have left a review have complained about dogs being present, DONT VISIT A DOG FRIENDLY COFFEE SHOP IF YOU DONT LIKE DOGS!! Can’t fault this place,

Lovely coffee shop, does a great coffee along with superb food. Very nice ambience too, and really good if you're doing work. Really take advantage of any occasion I can to. visit Coffi Lab

We visit Coffi Lab every Monday and the coffee, food and staff are just amazing!! Quite confused about the reviews complaining about dogs - the coffee shop is called "Coffi Lab" as in Labrador (its also the logo!)... they raise money for guide dog charities, hence the name, the dog friendliness and presence of ....dogs! Our absolute favourite coffee shop!

We've been coming hear since it's opening and we find it the best of all the coffee labs . The staff are always friendly not only to us but too everyone. The manager even remembers our drinks .

All is good nice and professional, but large flies in the glass display where all the muffins and pastry are. I don’t think that’s cool. You should have the fly catcher zapper electric light thingy. Hope you do something bout this because otherwise your cafe is lovely.

Great coffee and good space to catch up with mates. Dog friendly. Food selection and tatse is a bit average though.

Awful atmosphere in this coffee shop used to have pleasant staff but think they are no longer there , things have changed since my previous visit in February and definitely won’t be returning , my toastie was served with a hair clearly visable but the manger wasn’t available when I asked to speak as wasn’t happy paying full price as had to leave it , and the coffee was tastless and Luke warm

Been here a few times. Coffee always excellent and have had some lovely cakes and pastries. Tried the toasted chicken pesto sandwich today which was a bit of a disappointment. Hence the 3 stars. None of the flavours came through. Will be back for coffee and cakes. May be avoid the sandwiches.

Visited this coffee shop whilst in Cardiff , what a experience over crowded & noisy, found the presence of dogs licking there paws around me whilst eating very off putting , the coffee was bitter tasting but the food was tasty , the manager seemed to have no interest in the issue with a dog at my feet under the table , I have no problems with dogs but there is a time and a place and shouldn’t be around other customers tables around food very unhygienic to say the least 🤢

One of the best coffee shops in Cardiff and definitely the best Coffi Lab. The outdoor seating is *the* place to be seen in Rhiwbina in the warmer weather. Great coffee and a good selection of cakes. Highly recommend the almond croissant, the blueberry muffin and the carrot cake. Everything topped off with friendly and polite staff - thank you so much for taking the time the other day to provide my six year old with a pen and paper.

Without doubt my favourite coffee shop. Great coffee, good food, fast WiFi and a generally nice environment to be in however it’s the staff that make it such a warm and welcoming place: Kaleigh, Mike and Jamie, Liv, Beth, Milly, Abbie/y - and all the rest of the team!

Definitely the best decaf coffee and the most welcoming staff! Thank you to Kaleigh, Jamie, Millie, Libby, Liv, Beth, Finn and Abby for making Coffi Lab the heart of Rhiwbina.

Lovely coffee and a great selection of cakes. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

After a stroll in Caedelyn Park with my two dogs, we had a lovely lunch. The service was extremely friendly, the food was delicious and my dogs were very welcomed. They handled my dietary requirement with grace and therefore I would come back again perhaps for afternoon tea.

Came here at the weekend, great atmosphere and the staff were all really lovely! I had the ham and cheese croissant and the red velvet cake, both were absolutely delectable, I definitely recommend. Cant wait to come back with some friends!

Really nice coffee and lovely staff :)

great food, lovely staff, can't wait to return

Took my dog for a coffee here earlier and he was well chuffed. His tail didn't stop wagging with the staff calling him a good boy - I thought he would take off like a helicopter! The coffee is great and the atmosphere is just as good.

Fab, vibrant coffee shop. Super friendly, efficient staff. And so very dog friendly. Can't wait to return!

Friendly and welcoming environment, brilliant coffee and great customer service.

Great place for a coffee and a bacon roll!

Excellent place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Lovely coffee and food!

Wow the coffee lab has really taken off in Rhiwbina. Always packed and great atmosphere. Parking a nightmare. Cake and coffee lovely. However they are very expensive and no healthy option food.

Lovely venue in the heart of the Village. Friendly and welcoming, great atmosphere, nice choice of delicious coffee and a wide range of tasty food.

Met for coffee and cake with family. Enjoyed

Your tea pots are too large for just one tea bag- the tea never gets to strength because of this. Smaller pots or more tea bags

Excellent coffee shop, a visit is a must!!

Coffi Lab have got the formula right for a coffee shop, as their popularity shows!

Very popular coffee shop. Lovely coffee and cakes

Very nice place. Rather noisy when full as it was on my visit. Toast and Latte were tasty.

Nice indoor and outdoor seating area.

Lovely place, lots of seating inside and outside - dog friendly too.

Great service, staff really friendly and welcoming.

Lovely and warm on a cold day. Fab coffee. Lovely helpful staff

Awesome dishes.Had an excellent coffee here.

Be passing here a while looked amazing finally popped in wow what a shop...delicious food to eat in or take away coffee is perfect and the staff are so lovely 😊my new fav coffi lab please take over all the costas and starbucks show them how it's done 👍

A popular café with a dog vibe, amazing fundraising for Guide Dogs! Lots of cakes, croissants, etc. to choose from and lovely breakfast items too; breakfast baps, overnight oats etc. They even have a doggie menu and dog biscuits for sale with funds going to Guide Dogs! Dog friendly but wasn't over run with them! A lovely spot from a panad and watch the world go by!

Friendly staff, fab quality food and coffee chill atmosphere

Good choice of food and a good selection of coffee. A few things were more expensive than other places

Lovely place to go for a coffee and cake.

Fab place for a get together ❤️

Excellent coffee, excellent service, excellent friendly staff

Nice coffee shop. Pastries looked nice. Fast service, good strong coffee. Plenty of seating

Great coffee really enjoyed it. Fantastic service.

Great coffee shop with lovely cakes.Can eat both inside & outside. Enjoy!

Very chilled, minimalist vibes, reasonably priced, good quality food. More vegan options needed though. Dog friendly

No ice cream options for non canines ?

Right in Rhiwbina village. OK for a snack or cake but not a great choice if expecting more. Always busy. Great outdoor sitting area to watch world go by. Dog friendly inside and out. Fab addition to the village.

Spotlessly clean, great coffee and service.

Nice coffee and good service. Dog friendly as well 🐕🐩

Lovely environment and staff. Nice choice of food and drinks. Lost a star for some of the prices on some drinks and food. Overpriced.

Lovely staff and importantly very dog friendly.

Poor selection of fresh sandwiches veryimited veggie options which was surprising. But in saying that people lovely and friendly and service good. Do still go quite often.

Great place to meet family and friends, very friendly staff, and the best hot chocolate with delicious cakes

Absolutely adore this place. I love a great coffee shop and this has everything to offer gorgeous pastries, cakes and light bites really lovely atmosphere and amazing coffee even have dog biscuits for your pooches

Good coffee and food. Lovely covered seating area outside

So much nicer than the chain coffee shops

Good coffee, cakes and light lunches. Noisier than the Whitchurch branch. Covered veranda in front of the café has outdoor seating with a number of blankets provided.

First time visiting here and really enjoyed it. The tea was very good quality and the Welsh cakes were really tasty. It had a nice pleasant atmosphere, the staff were friendly and welcoming and it's dog friendly too. All in all would definitely recommend.

There's a real buzz here! Great coffee & friendly staff.

Brilliant addition to the area....

Très bon établissement, très propre, personnel au top, service parfait et de très bon produit de qualité. Je vous recommande 😊

A nice place with a good coffee and fantastic carrot cake. A little bit busy around noon.

Great place, nice atmosphere and good food.

Nice new coffee shop. I have visited a few times, and the points to note are that they only sell one size of coffee, which is a bit disappointing as I like a mug! Also, no fancy hot chocolate. The till is located near to the door as you walk in on the left so everyone is queuing out to the door and you don't get chance to see what pastries are on offer unless you get the people waiting for their drinks to shift out of the way and make everyone wait to order while you are looking. There's another till hidden down the end of the room, but you wouldn't know it was there as its behind a pillar and all of the customers waiting for their drinks. The atmosphere is ok as long as you don't mind dogs and children as it can get a bit noisy. I've had a few delicious cakes and pastries but not tried a sandwich as they are in a fridge away from the queue for the till and didn't want to lose my place. There's a sizeable outdoor area with blankets. I've not tried this due to the freezing weather but will be popular in the summer, I'm sure.

Very popular, difficult to hear our conversation as very loud, but won't stop us from going again.

Great addition to Rhiwbina for good coffee and cakes, also well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Lovely, clean and modern. Coffee and cakes are amazing. Also has really good outside seating with cover.

Warm, friendly, faultless service! Smooth and silky flat white…..the best yet!

Amazing place, super friendly and food was lush. Highly recommended 👌

What a cracking place, friendly staff, amazing coffee and some pretty impressive latte art

We only had coffee, but was good quality. Coffee above will love it. It seems really popular, so great atmosphere. Will be back

Lovely coffee and cake and excellent service but for me way too noisy, 2 days later and my ears are still buzzing. Shall wait for the warmer weather before returning ….and shall sit outside.

Great Friendly shop! Lovely choice of cakes and fresh sandwiches

Lovely place to have a good coffee

Superb coffee, nice setting inside and my focaccia was delicious. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff. Good selection of cakes and savories. I've been struggling to find decaf coffee that doesn't taste watery and horrible. Theirs tastes so nice I thought I had the wrong drink. Definitely recommend. Dog friendly

Excellent coffee, friendly atmosphere, what's not to love?

Second time visiting and we are always made to feel so welcome! Worth the trip from Torfaen back to my home village. Excellent food and friendly staff

Love visiting here,and they absolutely love dogs. Favourite place in Rhiwbina.

only had coffee, but lovely spot, 👍

Expensive for what you get, but nice

Very busy but good, parking is a pain

Good reviews, but why do you insist on having your outside lights on during daylight hours? The glare from the lights are so obvious throughout the village and make it look like a cheap resort. The village supports its own ‘Eco team’ who try to encourage the provision of appropriate facilities and behaviour. Operating the lights, as you do, demonstrates a total lack of understanding and support to energy usage. You did promise several months ago not to operate them in daylight hours. It would be nice if this was the case. Further to Rachael’s response. I think you are missing the point, the review is not about customer experience. It’s about your impact on the local environment. Perhaps an appropriately designed lighting scheme is the answer.

torte deliziose, caffè ben fatto 👌🏼 e servizio eccezionale. sicuramente visiterò di nuovo.

Very buisy even on a Monday. Excellent coffee and helpful service. Acoustic is not great.

Lovely staff as well great drinks, location is exactly what Rhiwbina needed.

Nice coffee shop chain, with this one located in the village of Rhiwbina. It's not as nice nor spacious as the one in Llandaff. Maybe too dog friendly for my liking.

Nice cafe, though sometimes get the feeling they like to turn the tables around fairly regularly.

What a fab coffee shop! Excellent service, super friendly bunch. A treat that we get to bring our dogs in, a great addition to the village!

Amazing coffee, lovely ambience, and incredibly attentive and friendly staff… couldn’t recommend highly enough :-)
