Corner Coffee in Cardiff

A small cafe with tables outside and in the arcade where we sat watching people passing through (yesterday we're people watchers). Service was very friendly despite them being very busy and drinks arrived quickly. We then ordered food which did take a while to come but they were very apologetic and offered Free drinks. The food was well worth waiting for!

Came over for rugby, stopped for a cuppa with friends. Prompt service, friendly staff, had a lovely biscoff cake and cookie to go with our drinks.

Very good address! The staff is smiling and welcoming. We ate very well. Only downside: it was a little cold because everything is open.

They do some good pastries for breakfast here and the English breakfast was lovely too but it did take them 30 minutes to cook and serve it up so a lot waiting and watching each other eat...

Great location, friendly staff, good quality coffee. But the chairs are uncomfortable.

Lovely small coffee shop. Visited on Sunday morning nice breakfast simple menu. Cost was £20.40 for the below Flat white - Coffee and bacon 🥓 bap 🍊 juice and sausage bap inside is very limited with space but seating outside and within arcade if weather is good !

It was a busy Sunday, but the service was still quick. I ordered a flat white and scrambled egg on toast. It might have been because I was starving, but it was the best egg on toast I’ve ever had!

Excellent white hot chocolate and breakfast, thank you very much Katie!

A fabulous brunch and such good value for the portion. Brilliant cup of tea too!

Great coffee, decent cakes & snacks, but a bit cramped. One of the better terraces in town though, and the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by.

I've been going to Corner Coffee since I moved into Cardiff, about 3 and a half years ago (by my very brain damaged reckoning.) It's gotten to the point that the staff - lovely, kind, sincere and with unerringly good coffee - get temporarily confused if I order anything other than my usual. I know this place well ^w^ Take it from a disabled person with not awful much to do in a day and enough interest in coffee to have a la pavoni europicolla - pre and post millenium - I've been to everywhere in Cardiff. Nowhere else compares. The team is lovely, it's *exciting* being surrounded by people who enthusiastically care about coffee, and it's been a pleasure watching the team grow in confidence and skill from already outstanding, superb showings. The pastries and snacks on sale are superb, and the food is wonderful. It's where I take dates I want to see on a second date, and it's where I go where I'm feeling sad, happy, simply sat in a bewildered malaise. It's where I take my girlfriends and carer when I don't want to make reservations. Corner Coffee is a blessing, and I'm so very thankful for it. Go! Treat yourself. Have a good time <3

Lovely warm spot for a cold day in Cardiff ❤️ great coffee, and the soup was delicious as well!

The sausage baps (sausage bap) are very delicious, both the vegetarian and the meat ones. Very good coffee too.

Very friendly staff, fantastic coffee, lovley food, what more could you want?

Our go-to in the centre, impeccable cortado and smily staff.

Great coffee and food, and great service

Best coffee in Cardiff just wish the atmosphere was nicer. Inside is small, outside you have the ugly view of St Marys Street and the Warhammer shop lol. Still 5* because the coffee is miles miles miles better than literally anywhere else in Cardiff. Very big avocado toast portion too 😋

These guys know how to produce great coffee! The lunch matched the quality of the coffee and the setting! A quality unique place situated in the city centre!

Great food, great atmosphere, great coffee and very nice staff!

Brilliant Breakfast. Let us swap beans out, would recommend would come again, lovely!

Really lovely little spot, especially on a rainy day! The matcha and pumpkin spice latte—with the housemade syrup!—were delicious, and brioche baps—halloumi and bacon alike—were top notch. Excellent service and cozy atmosphere, and the cakes on the counter looked so tasty.

Excellent coffee and great coffee pecan! Friendly service, even right at closing time, thanks!

Siempre trato de ir al café de la esquina cuando estoy en Cardiff. Increíble café y una encantadora selección de pasteles veganos y sin gluten : )

¡El mejor bacon que he tenido! Ubicación encantadora, gran ambiente, música fantástica y personal y perro agradable. Visitado antes y siempre fabuloso x

Pretty great spot for breakfast! Nothing out of this world great, but everything was solid and relatively reasonably priced.

Lovely little coffee shop serving a great breakfast. Service was quick, well presented and tasty! Most of the seating is outdoors but some is covered, would suggest wrapping up warm, particularly in the cooler months!

lovely coffee shop with a good selection of beans, nice coffee and pastries. Took the v60 filter coffee and it was well prepared and balanced. I also took the pistachio and rose cake, it was tasty as well. The people working there are friendly, which created a nice atmosphere. There was a short queue but they are fast at service, seating could be limited at certain times.

Visitamos café de la esquina regularmente, sin embargo, hoy recibimos el mejor servicio que hemos experimentado por Ella. Ella nos dio la bienvenida e interactuó con mi familia en múltiples ocasiones. Gracias Ella.

Great coffee, have yet to find a time where there isn't a long queue though!

Simple. Phenomenal Coffee. Phenomenal Food. Phenomenal Service. 💯🎉🙏

Parada para un café - recomendado por un lugareño - gran café sentado en el sol de octubre. Pasteles / galletas se veía bien también!

Great Matcha!! Oat milk! Nice cake and so on…. Service Personal on top! Go there!!

Coffee represented differently each time. Bought cold brew and first time it was presented beautifully separate cup, jug and ice and a little note where the coffee is from. Today we got it all combined no presentation but the same price.

Best coffee shop in Cardiff. Staff are lovely and the coffee is top quality 👌. Lovely atmosphere and plenty of seating.

Great food (we had a vegetarian breakfast and a corn breakfast), delicious matcha and coffee, good selection of drinks, great atmosphere, beautiful location

I found this place while looking for good coffee and it did not disappoint, it had really fresh and delicious coffee.

Had a lovely coffee and snack here. Sat outside the arcade in the warm sun. The staff were lovely and very efficient.

Cosy place in the city centre, offering very good coffee and the cosiest t-shirts. Happy to come back for more coffee and coffee beans!

The specialty coffee culture has been growing quite a lot in Cardiff and Corner Coffee is lush. Get a v60 and enjoy the best cafe in the town centre!

An extremely good veggie breakfast - Every ingredient has its own delicious flavour and there is plenty of it. Great coffee options too

Lovely breakfast and coffee. Will be coming back for more

Pleasant, lively place, with personable service, and tasty breakfast and lattes.

Extremely nice coffee, tasty cakes and friendly staff! Able to sit outside in some rare sunshine! Thoroughly pleasant visit…would recommend!

Excellent coffee shop with friendly and knowledgable baristas. The location is cracking as well, sitting just off Cardiff city centre’s main street in one of the beautiful arcades. A relaxing oasis from the bustle at any time of day. They also do a good cake and food menu.

Great coffee and pleasant staff. Would recommend

Best coffee in Cardiff and the breakfasts are fab also. Brownies, cakes all homemade and very knowledgeable about coffee. You can buy coffee beans and they will grind for you.

They were busy, but still the staff were very friendly and the overall vibe was lovely. Good music and good food, would definitely recommend!

The food was amazing 😋 I love avocado 🥑 on toast 😁🤤😁🤤😁🤤😁

This review is mainly for your Porthcawl branch of Corner Coffee. We rate this place very nightly for its location and high quality of food BUT we needed to contact re lost item and found no telephone number. Highly frustrating and seemingly this trend of non communication after you have visited certain businesses is becoming commonplace. Valued customer service is being eroded sadly whereby trying to get human contact is quite a task. Corner Coffee please buck the trend and become more human friendly.

What a FIND! Superb coffee, fabulous scrabbled eggs on sourdough.. Seriously amazing value... On the corner up a slightly hidden alley on castle quarter, I can't work out why people aren't queuing out the door. Service is really lovely and they're very friendly and nice! Great job ❣️ Oooh and they do filled croissants 😁

Great coffee, and the GF carrot and walnut cake is divine!!

Hands down the best bacon sandwich ever!! Coffee is great too. I'll be back!

Waited in the queue for about 20 minutes only to be told that they were closing. Rude staff.

The banana bread was really good but it was a bit odd to be served hot coffee in a glass without a handle! The staff were friendly.

One of my favourite independent coffee places. Great spot to chill and watch people stroll by.

Great spot, sat in sun watching world go by, with really good quality coffee.

The Kenyan coffee was fantastic, obviously they put a lot of care into it. Had a vegan breakfast and it was just as good. So impressed and they are incredibly friendly too. Will be my first stop when back in Cardiff.

The food is amazing! We tried their vegan breakfast and salad of the week. They have a lot of vegan options which was great to see. On top of it, the service was great. The barista and the staff were so welcoming and accomodating. If you’re visiting Cardiff, definitely worth your time on your trip! It was one of the highlights of ours.

One of the best coffees in Cardiff. Always friendly service. Lovely atmosphere and aesthetic.

Excellent coffee ( Cortado and flat white) , great staff!

Food was great (hot chocolate was a highlight!) and the servers were so friendly, had a wonderful time

Nice vibes, nice coffee and nice staff. Pecan caramel cake was amazing. I’ll visit again!

Great coffee, awesome brunch with reasonable price. We had Corner Brekkie and Scrambled egg on toast. Everything tastes great, except the back bacon is a bit dry for our liking. Highly recommended!

Good coffee, and specially the scrambled eggs with sourdough. Loved it! Highly recommend

Beautiful cafe on the way to Cardiff Castle - the portions of cakes and puddings are super delicious, with vegetarian and vegan options. I highly recommend the carrot cake, spectacular. The girls who served us were extremely friendly and attentive.

Great coffee overlooking the High street arcade

If you want really good coffee, come here. Independent coffee shop. Option for V60 also available along with the regular espresso based drinks.

-Funky -Vegan cakes and sweets available -Indoor and outdoor seating -Vegan brownie was ok, quite crumbly. It was rich and dense too -Chai latte was decent

super cute cafe so friendly and delicious coffee and bagel :-) thank you

Batch brew coffee and food was amazing! We could’ve stayed here all afternoon, the atmosphere was creative chill and felt relaxing and cool. Thank you!

‏One of the most great specialized coffee stations in Cardiff. ‏I highly recommend v60 & today’s coffee (batch brew)

great coffee, matcha, avo toast

Five star review because there is a sign saying "we give our staff tips if you give a five star review" cheeky and clever. Jokes aside the coffee is banging and the staff are nice.

Me and my wife had a great breakfast here. Great bacon sandwich!

The perfect take away flat white 👌

Nice place, very nice service , good coffee

Whenever I visit Cardiff this is always my first place to stop. Excellent coffee, food and service. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful too (even at the busiest times).

Staff were friendly and welcoming but the coffee was just okay - nothing special . The waiting time for food was 30-40 minutes which for just a bowl of soup is pretty excessive

Lovely coffee, very friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Really good location and value for money. Love it!!!

Delicious breakfast (smashed avocado on toast with halloumi) and great coffee. Staff really friendly and lovely location in the city ❤️ will be back!

Cracking coffi friendly service and clean loos. Saw the sign on the way to the bogs about how fiver star reviews means more money for the staff innit. 10/10

I was in Cardiff for a couple of days and this place was on my list even before arriving and I loved it; it’s a very cool and chill place with good music, staff are nice & I tried the most amazing bath brew, the breakfast items I tried were good but nothing special tbh, and the pastries not so worth it to me. But still I know if I was a local this would be my favourite place only for the coffee and the vibe in general. :)

Great strategic location , Sitting outside and enjoy the coffee and hassle and bustle of the city is great. Coffee is so so. Staff os friendly . Overall good

Enjoyed a cappuccino to go, very much!

Fantastic range of specialty coffee.

Excellent food and quality choices for a brunch. Not too many seats inside very close to the desk.

Been dozens of times. Consistently really good coffee (which is how I primarily measure a place). Don't recall ever being served a dud one! Staff are friendly. Breakfasts look tasty. If main cafe is busy ask to be directed to their second shop 30 seconds walk away.

Lush veggie breakfast and coffee. Friendly staff and nice vibe to the place. The benches and table are a little small though so something to keep in mind!

Been here before and it was lovely, this time I asked if they did child’s breakfasts only to be greeted with scowl and flat ‘no’. They don’t serve kids, fine, but why did the staff member need to be so rude about it? Poor service. Don’t take your kids here. Went to the indoor market and had an amazing breakfast for half the price.

Lovely cafe! Good selection of cakes and the staff were friendly 😀 thank you!

Friendly staff where nothing was too much trouble. A lovely relaxed atmosphere and can recommend the delicious halloumi bap and latte 😋

So happy Corner has come to Porthcawl - Laura, Cary & the whole team are incredible and make every visit perfect. The BEST coffee about, brunch is unreal & the vibes are immaculate. 100% the new go to spot at Porthcawl Harbour, so good to have passionate people who love what they do looking after you, can’t fault it one bit. Will be returning over and over again

Order Cappuccino £3.4 and take away But wait too long

Lovely little coffe shop. Coffe was divine and the atmosphere was perfect. The sweet treats looked really good too!

Hands down some of the best curated coffees in town.

Really nice little cafe. We went because they had some vegan items on the menu. We both had the "Vegan Brekkie", which included sourdough toast, baked beans, garlicky spinach, mashed avocado, bacon and sausages. Everything was delicious, but my least favourite thing was unfortunately the sausages. The texture was good, but they were a bit bland, no real flavour to them which was a shame. The rest was very tasty though. Service was really lovely and it was very cosy and comfy inside. We also got some pastries to take away too, which were very good. The raspberry croissant was the best! There were quite a few vegan pastries available, which we were so happy to see. Definitely recommend going here, and we would definitely go back.

Nice coffee shop deserves going many times. Ethiopia with ice taste extremely good. The elder flower note is very distinct.

Perfect for breakfast and brunch .

My favourite spot for a coffee, lovely cakes also! Great staff, we buy our coffee for home here also as it’s so good!

Superb americano. Having had a spy on TA this place looked very good so we made the effort to find it. My wife and I both had an americano as I think it’s the benchmark to compare from. The service was slick and the coffee was delicious. We shared a flapjack from the nice selection of baked. Highly recommended
