So nice to be able to have exceptional quality coffee at an affordable price! Staff are extremely friendly and the place looks clean and kept well! Nice to see an independent coffee shop in central station

Seeing this place open again with a fresh look, amazing service and brilliant coffee is just what was needed in the station. Being able to grab a delicious coffee in the morning for my commute, alongside friendly service is great. Welcome back Gourmet!

Always forget what a great little coffee shop this is if you're rushing for a train. The long black is always perfect.

The staff are lovely and friendly even at 8 in the morning, but the coffee is rubbish. Over priced, weak, very milky and not frothy. Avoid.

The best coffee anywhere close to Cardiff Central Station. It's hard to capture in a picture of a takeaway cup just how fantastic the coffee is here. I got a flat white and the milk was properly foamed (micro-foam if you're a coffee nut like me) the way it's meant to be for a flat white. Blend is medium-dark, with chocolate and biscuit notes and a smooth finish. The coffee is reliably of a very high standard, the sort that one might expect from a hip, indie coffee joint, but perhaps not from a small kiosk in a train station. With friendly, welcoming staff who always brighten my day, this is my top recommendation for coffee for anyone travelling by rail, or needing to stay near Cardiff Central. Fantastic!

The best coffee you can get at Cardiff Central. As good as any of the independents in town!

I wouldn’t recommend it for coffee fans since it more like Stabucks

Lovely selection of baguettes cakes drinks etc. Seating area but have no toilets. You have to go on the train platform for the toilet. Reasonably priced, nice staff.

Friendly, very convenient location, good brownie! Flat white was good but could have done with being a tad stronger but still pretty decent.

This is a really nice option for hot drinks and snacks before getting on a train. The staff are always friendly and we had a particularly nice chat with the lady who served us this morning! Thank you 😊

Disappointing. £2.95 for a regular (small!!) latte. Couldn't taste the coffee, only luke warm milk.

I work close by and this is without doubt the best in the vicinity for coffee.

I stopped off for a consolation coffee after a gruelling all-day exam, not expecting anything special. But the coffee was gorgeous! many thanks.

Their coffee is excellent, and much better than any of the other rubbish served in the train station, which is expensive but bitter. This coffee is strong and dark but has plenty of flavour. Very friendly staff as well.

By far the best coffee option in the station and also one of the better ones in Cardiff.

Qua ho preso il miglior cappuccino di Cardiff, davvero molto simile al nostro italian Capuccino. Peccato per le brioches, erano mediocri.

Room: the room was beautiful. We stayed in the Venetian suite, which was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfy and they had extra pillows in the wardrobe, if like me you can be a bit particular about pillows. The ensuite had a bath and shower. The shower water pressure was brilliant and the bath was a good size. Dining: the food looked lovely. For main we had the herb crusted lamb. This includes two small pieces of lamb, they were sadly very well cooked and very herb crusted - not to my taste. With so many good places to eat in the local area the food was a bit of a let down, especially considering the price. We were one of only two tables dining, so not much of an atmosphere either. This was unfortunately further impacted but the staff busily setting up for breakfast around us. As someone with sound sensitivities, the clattering of cutlery and sound of mugs being placed on plates was very off putting. Service: the front of house gentleman on arrival was very warm and friendly. As we're the bar and waiting staff. The service we experienced during the Saturday day could not be faulted. Room service is only available until 8:45pm and the bar is closed at 10pm. There is a lovely lounge area, where my husband and I sat, enjoying being able to sip nice wine (good selection here) and talk without the interruption of children. However, the night staff member was a stark contract to the friendliness of the staff we had previously encountered. I can only describe him as hostile. Another guest had returned from a function and asked if they could get some crisps or nuts. He sighed rolled his eyes and made it very clear she was in convincing him. He took a large jar of nuts from the bar and then returned with a small bowl with a few in. She asked if she could have more and was met with a sharp no, before he left the area. A few minutes later he returned, the other guest had gone to their room, he then rather sternly stated to us, from the door way that he was turning the lights off and locking the lounge area at 11. We went out to smoke at 10:35 to return a few minutes later to the lights off, doors locked. I felt like a teenager sneaking home. Just like that we are banished to our room. As a base to explore the area this hotel offers comfortable rooms and a good location. The breakfast was good (the poached egg was perfectly done). However, I wouldn't recommend staying here for the experience of the venue. I had wanted to visit for a while, thus we went for a birthday treat but I won't be rushing back.
