Field of Beans in Cardiff

Really nice coffee shop. When we walked in we were greeted by the smell of freshly roasted coffee... mmm! Interesting decor and comfy places to sit. There were six of us but we managed to find an eclectic group of chairs for a chat over their lovely coffee and drinks. Our friends decided to say for some food.

Pasé por un café y un sándwich de tocino. Personal encantador, muy educado, buen respeto por los protocolos covid y servicio de mesa eficiente. El sándwich de café con leche y tocino estaba delicioso y ambos a precios asequibles. Hay una buena variedad de asientos y es una parada perfecta después de un paseo por el parque / lago Roath. ¡Definitivamente lo recomendaría!

Renamed the Corner now! It's a lovely place inside, beautifully decorated. Dog friendly, although you do get the odd owner who thinks it is OK that their dog whines constantly for an hour. Breakfast is excellent, full Welsh very tasty, the only thing is that drinks and toast are extra, so for a full breakfast you are talking £13+ which is pushing it a bit!

Excelente cafe. El propietario es un poco miserable, pero ya estaba acostumbrado a él como visitante habitual aquí. Muy cómodo entorno tranquilo y cálido. Se admiten perros, lo cual es bueno. Volveremos de nuevo muy pronto

Visité aquí unas cuantas veces y lo seguiré haciendo. Café encantador y el queso en pan tostado es genial! Los niños disfrutan mirando la pecera. Recomendaría

Now called The Corner, but the same lovely food and great service. Tremendous help to us and our friend who is wheelchair bound. Thanks to everyone there. Absolutely brilliant.

Called here with one of my sons for a soup and coffee. Lovely quirky place with lots of dogs. Lovely soup (carrot and honey), comfortable chairs and friendly staff. Plenty of views from windows on 2 sides. Laid back atmosphere. Will make a return soon, with my sons dog in tow.

Booked a lunch for my mother (wheel chair bound) and family for a Saturday lunch. The restaurant part is in the back of a coffee house/ cafe so we had no great expectations but were pleasantly surprised. Staff were friendly and attentive, menu was reasonably priced with a fair selection. Food was served promptly and efficiently and of a decent quality, Mum & I had the tapas, a few had the burgers and the rest had pub style food. It was all good. The menu isn’t huge, but what they had was fresh and well cooked. The owner/manager was excellent and we all enjoyed it. There was a 10% service charged added (there was 8 of us) and I thought it worthy of a small additional tip. Definitely worth a visit.

In this quirky venue just off Roath lake they serve the most peculiar of drinks, the smell resembles that of charcoaled embers. It has an unusual BITTER taste, much like that of when you're dads burnt the sausages on the BBQ. They serve it with hot milk, frothy milk, or on its own. It's not cheap but well worth a try if you're looking for the next "unique" fad. They call it coffee...how ironic

We popped in as it's one of the few places in Cardiff who accept dogs, and in such a convenient location by the lake. the atmosphere was lovely with many dogs in there. Only thing i'd say is that it shouldn't be serving food, for one thing its a bit of a strange selection of food - it's almost like a dinner menu served all day, where you'd expect an establishment like this to serve things such as sandwiches, jacket potatoes... more cafe like food. Unfortunately, I ordered the chicken butterfly, it all tasted like water, absolutely no taste to the chicken, veg or the sauce which was really disappointing. So much, I had to stop eating as it was just unpleasant. Nevertheless, the milkshakes and coffees were really nice so go for the coffee, but not for food.

One of the top breakfasts we have had in a long time. Unassuming but just loved the decor and feel about the place. Waiter was simply lovely and really friendly. Will definitely be back when visiting Cardiff

This place was very nice with lovely service and welsh cakes if you are reading this 1 waiter then thanks bro I will be back soon. Don't thank me.

Has changed name . But atmosphere remains the same. We both had Mussels mariner but the fish delivery had not been received so I had to have a starter portion rather than a main course portion. I felt that the mussels were on the small side and also no whole meal bread available just brown sliced which is not really whole grain . The taste was good , and the service was very good.

This unassuming looking café - restaurant is a half hour walk from our house, through nearby pretty Roath Park, so is very handy. It makes a welcoming stop off for anything from a coffee and cake to Tapas or steak, depending on the time of day. The atmosphere is informal and welcoming and we particularly like that we can bring the dogs and tuck them under the table whilst we eat. The menu is not very extensive but all the food we have eaten there has been good and service is also fine. We can recommend the house Merlot if you fancy a drink too. Check opening times if planning to visit in the evening as they only open in the evenings on certain nights. Prices are fair.

Delicious food served by friendly staff in lovely surroundings. And even though the dog had come along too, we were told we could sit in the restaurant part. That made an enjoyable birthday celebration meal even more enjoyable. Top marks all round.

Oh! And it's joined to food! Fabulous...might just stop for some of that. Tapas menu looks appealing. Very tempting.

I live nearby so this is a great place to stop by to meet with friends or get some work done. The layout is lovely and they have a great selection of cakes (some gluten free) and soya milk for vegans / dairy intolerants !

Very nice premises with cool fish tank inside! Coffee was really good. Service was great. Recommend a side order of chips...

Very casual coffee and sandwich stop. Comfortable, peaceful seating areas with windows so you can check the traffic rushing by! One area has a large aquarium with fish hypnotically swimming for your relaxation. Simon always makes us feel welcome and taken care of.

Went this morning with our son. Great atmosphere and well frequented. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They had a full range of items on the menu to suit all tastes and more importantly very reasonably priced. This is yet another coffee shop on our list to visit when we come to to see our son again. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit.

Meeting a colleague for breakfast. The coffee was good and the staff very helpful. What was odd was the price difference between some of the breakfast dishes. So the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs (which was good) was way more expensive than another dish of similar make up. Still the food was good.

Been wanting to try it for ages..it's fairly cute inside I like the decor and friendly staff too but seriously your prices are a rip off.. it's off putting.. I'm not poor but I can't stand inflated prices for simple things.. it's a no no for us.. and that's sad as we live by the lake so it local.

The frappe was amazing. And the coffee is good too. Really good service they are friendly and honest staff.

Good food, good service, good wine, very enjoyable overall, the bill was on the high side for a weekday meal. Worth a try. :)

Myself and my sister with 2 kids visited this place after walk in the Roath park. When I walked in I was amazed. Finally something different , decor is lovely and atmosphere really enjoyable. We ordered 3 milkshakes and iced coffee. All was good. Would definately come back this time for tapas.

Definitely one of my favourite cafes in Cardiff- great coffee and really friendly service! Relaxing and great after a walk around the lake. I bring friends here and my family it's fab.

Great place to relax with a cup of coffee and watch the world go by. Although there are a few chains nearby,it's always good to support local trade and the coffee and tea purchased add the personal touch which makes a bit of difference.

We've visited twice this week and on both occasions have had excellent and friendly service. Great selection of ice creams & good coffee. Definitely be back & hopefully to try the restaurant!

We stopped in for some coffee and drinks as it said it was dog friendly and we were out walking with our dog. It was a lucky find, the service was great and they were very helpful and our dog was allowed inside. The drinks etc. were good as was the service and their food menu looked very appetising, we also saw some being served and would have had some if we hadn't eaten so recently. The adjacent/linked restaurant, Field and Fish looked really good as was their evening menu which I studied

Took my parents here as I j ew that digs were allowed in the coffee shop at the front. We ended up sitting in the resteruant and putting the dog in the car for a bit, which wasn't a problem. Starters were fantastic. I had the Palmer ham with truffle shavings which took the dish to the next level. The main course beef was so tender and the roasties where fantastic! Great atmosphere and great service.

Nice and relaxed, plenty of people in for a coffee whilst out walking their dogs. Service was swift and very friendly. Tapas menu looked good, but I opted for the cheese on toast which was great !

Always first class food and coffee, Only small gripe (or it would be 5 star) is limited warm food early on and I was looking forward to the most excellent cheese on toast!

Had never been to the original place in Wedal Road, but a new branch just open in Station Road Llanishen. Smart newly appointed place with a good menu. We had coffee which was excellent and delicious sweet potato soup with Chili, and beautifully fresh warm bread. Staff very friendly. To be recommended.

The rudest staff I have ever met. We asked for breakfast. They did not look happy. Only thing available was full eniglish or scrambled eggs, what if you want a bacon roll m? It made us all sad and hearts broken

My husband and I pop most weekends for cake and coffee. Lovely relaxing atmosphere and always greeted with a welcoming smile. We will be booking the restaurant in the next couple of weeks as the menu looks pretty impressive . They even have their own parking behind the restaurant too.

Took a walk around roach park which sadly closed at 3.30 due to the time of season. With it being so cold looked for sometime warm up go. Warm welcome by staff and great tasting hot chocolate. Welsh cakes were also delicious.

My husband dog and I recently moved close to the area. We wanted to find a nearby cafe where dogs are welcome. We thought we'd give Field of Beans a try and we were very impressed with the friendly service, lovely lattes and toasted tea cakes! The cafe is located next to a park with free parking at the back. Bonus!! The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor is very stylish. The cafe is clean, well looked after and I would highly recommend you visit!!

A lovely place with great coffee and very friendly people. Large (free) car park, which is great if you're driving coz parking is very difficult in Cardiff.

Delicious home cooked food and friendly service. It's refreshing to see a family run restaurant with good quality food.

Called in for coffee after a Sunday morning walk around Roath lake. Good coffee in a lovely environment and nice cake too. Although we were a little late for breakfast (finishes at 11.00) they did seem a bit pricey at £9.95 for Salmon and scrambled eggs as when you add a coffee it works out at £25 for 2 people.Friendly staff and a pleasant environment that's well behaved dog friendly made for an overall very good experience.

Having just returned from a period overseas, it was great to see a new business had opened just around the corner. The place is pretty cool but the service needs to be looked at. It took over 20 mins to get our coffee and cake, and a couple who came in after us, got served before us. The chap serving was very friendly but two of him would have made all the difference - this seems to be a bit of a theme with other comments. We will come again and really hope the business succeeds.

Flat White Coffee and Coffee Smoothy - simple word - lush Really enjoyed the atmosphere - very laid back and relaxed - will be back again Also for the wine tasting in October - I think possibly a meal soon

Decided to stop and have a coffee with the mutt. Lovely little place and a friendly welcome! Decided on a latte and was told about the options for lunch. Chose the cheese on toast, as wasn't that hungry. (Crackin tapas dishes were also available) It was a taste sensation! The chutney that came with it made the dish, which I was told was homemade. Stayed for another latte and a piece of carrot cake. Will defo return. Highly recommended! Top

Called in for mid-morning coffee and were very impressed with the atmosphere and service. Newspapers available, interesting decor and good coffee, but best of all was a lemon drizzle cake. Highly recommended.

Arriving about 2 pm on a damp Monday afternoon, I was first impressed by the warm and enthusiastic welcome. No problem about the time, the cafe menu was all available.

Love it here, always call in when I am working in the area, love to seat in the window and watch the world go by, I remember when it was a shop all those yeas ago.

Quirky little place with plenty of character. Just had tasty frappes loaded with coffee and vanilla and my daughter loved the ice cream milkshake. Owner was nice and friendly. Just near Roath park. Noticed they do Tapas, will sample this next time, or the fish and chips.

Came here on a busy bank holiday Monday after a walk in the park with a friend and my dog, was greeted by a friendly gentleman and had our order taken. We ordered off the tapas menu which all looked delicious. Food and coffees arrived quickly and with a smile, we weren't left waiting around like we have experienced elsewhere when it gets busy. Delicious Garlic mushrooms and coffee was tasty too. Overall a great little place, and to top it all off I can take my dog there!

Great place, good service friendly staff. Relaxed Saturday coffee with friend will be back! Just around the corner from Roath Park a good find.

Decided to try this cafe after a walk around the park , and was so pleased we did . The latte was very good , and gluten free carrot cake delicious . The whole place has a lovely ambience , and very friendly staff . Will definitely return.

Popped in here with a friend after a walk around Roath Park for a pot of earl Grey tea and a soya decaf latte. Very nice latte, soya milk can be a bit hit and miss but this one was sweet and creamy. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and chatty, would definitely go there again!

Been looking for a dog friendly cafe in Cardiff for a few months and this was a great find. Just next to Roath Park and Roath Lake makes a perfect pit stop on a dog walk! Very friendly staff and a good cup of coffee

An overwhelming smell of fish greeted me as I walked through the door. I love fish, but it's not what I want to smell at coffee time. Coffee expensive at £2.60 for a small cup, but it was good and the accompanying slice of chocolate was moist and gooey. Good choice of chairs and sofas, Metro newspapers and Buzz magazines. Toilet clean and regularly checked by staff who were very friendly.

Arrived early for a training session and have run past here numerous times. I am glad I called in, a friendly service with good flavoursome coffee. Now I wonder if I'll have time to stop off in a few weeks time when I past again for the World Half Marathon

Went for a leisurely Sunday morning coffee here as we love the Fish and Field Restaurant and it was the perfect place to have a Sunday morning coffee.

Field of Beans is a unique café/coffee shop located in a lovely part of Cardiff - very close to the green spaces of the much sought after Roath Park area. It is attached to, and within the same building as the Fish and Field restaurant (the two are inter-connected) which can also be accessed from Wedal Road. Car parking is on road usually in Wedal Road (which gets busy) and/or on Lake Road West or its side roads. Short walk then to the premises. Otherwise, it is very well placed for people to visit in conjunction with a walk around Roath Park. I think it is also dog-friendly. The Field of Beans coffee shop has very recently been tastefully extended into the area previously taken up by its sister restaurant. This means that customers can now enjoy more seating (traditional tables and comfy armchairs and sofas - take your pick). The recent re-modelling now means the coffee shop bar is longer and faces a different way than previously which means access is improved. The main seating area also incorporates a large fish tank full of tropical fish. Great for customers to unwind to and to keep the kids entertained in particular. All, in my view, welcome improvements. The coffee shop benefits from some large window space, through which customers can enjoy interesting outlooks onto the nearby and very pleasant Roath Park/ Fairoak roundabout areas. The coffee shop serves cakes and light snacks. Not actually eaten there but seen some good looking dishes (eg cheese on toast and cakes) being served to other tables. Coffees are fresh and tasty, being competitively priced. Service is very good. Always a warm welcome from the staff who take the time to have a chat. All-in-all, a very good choice for coffee. Somewhere a bit different from the usual coffee chains. Not sure if wheelchair users can better enter via the restaurant door in Wedal Road?

Went in late afternoon for 3 kids hot chocolates, 1 tea, 1 coffee and 2 flap jacks. 10 mins at least to order, was offered a flap jack left out on counter on an oily napkin for all to cough and splutter on - I refused and asked if there were fresh ones. Was dully shown the prepackaged flap jacks. Once order made it was over 30 mins till drinks started arriving. 3 baby chinos - not ordered. 1 coffee, explained it was 3 hot chocolates. Lots of apologies, took away along with the tea which we asked back. Kids eventually got their hot chocs ( with some mini marshmallows fully explained were added as an extra REALLY - was that supposed to be a bonus!!) then we reminded them that we have still not got the flap jacks. Although I explained that we were unhappy with the service, and it was now starting to get dark. It was "very sorry, must sort out the staff and please come back". Not good enough, that order was more than £16.00 expensive for what it was. Asmall gesture of an extra flap jack or take a little something off the bill would encourage return custom. I work in a customer service environment and I am afraid they have much to learn... If they survive ??? On a plus side the drinks were very good and tasty, so an uplift of the service could get field of beans back on track. Good look it will be a while if ever I return.

This lovely coffee shop is at the front the restaurant `Fish and Field` which has had some great reviews, so we thought we would give their coffee shop a try. We walk in this morning at 11.15, the place was empty, so we had a choice of seats..the building itself is really nice. The service was a bit unfriendly although the guy who brought out our food was very pleasant.
