Ikea in Cardiff

It's IKEA... Cheap but quality food and grub! What's not to love?! 😘

Meatballs, Mash, gravy, peas and Jam... Always a winner, Smoked salmon starter Strawberry cheese cake main. Quick service, always clean. Thank you

I bought a nice few items was easy to go around with my mobility scooter but the breakfast was cold and not very good quality

The experience was good overall, especially the customer care, however, the sample I was looking for was not available, so I either had to purchase the entire box of tiles or select another sample option, which I did.

It's IKEA. Everything is neat and tidy and planned out. Adding to leisurely experience.

Being something of a Scandimaniac anyway, I do like Ikea. Their approach to consistent high quality and easy packing and assembly is excellent, and the food market is great when taking a trip to Sweden just isn't viable. The Cardiff branch is particularly pleasant. Most UK branches are very bust compared to the ones I've visited in other countries, and whilst Cardiff is far from dead, it's a much more pleasant experience going around it, with space and sensible customer levels. Am excellent member of the Ikea family.

Noticed they have less damaged items for sale now. Does anyone know why they are not giving the free wood away now, that used to be outside on a trolley.

IKEA Cardiff is an excellent place for furniture shopping, home décor, and a great overall shopping experience. Located conveniently off the M4, it has ample parking, making it accessible even on busy weekends. The store follows IKEA’s signature layout, guiding you through different sections—living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and more—allowing you to visualize furniture in real-life settings. The selection is vast, with affordable yet stylish furniture and accessories for every home. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist design or something vibrant, IKEA has it all. I particularly love their PAX wardrobes and BILLY bookshelves, which offer excellent customization. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable. On my last visit, I needed help selecting a comfortable office chair, and a staff member guided me through different options, explaining ergonomics and material quality. The self-service warehouse is well-organized, and even if you struggle to find an item, there are plenty of digital kiosks and helpful staff to assist. No visit to IKEA is complete without trying the restaurant! The famous Swedish delicacies are a must-try, and they also have delicious vegetarian and halal options. The café area is clean and spacious, making it a nice place to take a break from shopping. The Swedish Food Market near the checkout is a great place to pick up unique treats like Daim cakes, lingonberry jam, and frozen meatballs. The checkout process is generally smooth, with both self-checkout and staffed tills. I also used the Click & Collect service once, and it was incredibly efficient—I placed an order online and picked it up with minimal waiting time. And they have fantastic return policy and order online and collect at store facility as well . Free small parts for assembly always available at store and also deliver online at home as well free,which all I feel were fantastic. IKEA Cardiff is a fantastic destination for home shopping, offering affordable, stylish, and practical furniture. The overall experience is enjoyable, whether you’re redesigning your home or just browsing. I highly recommend visiting, especially on weekdays when it’s less crowded! Would I return? Absolutely!

I buy it, I look at it, i swear at it, I finish it, I find a bolt missing

Standard IKEA experience, got a good sense of what furniture to order, no surprises but decent, well designed stuff as always. Standard except the cafe was in a bit of disarray, with no trays, no knives, no mayonnaise. Worked out alright in the end tho.

Larga cola - el plato del día era pescado, patatas fritas y guisantes, pero tenía que esperar a que el pescado se cocinara (junto con otros), lo que significaba que estaba comiendo mi comida después de que el resto de mi familia había terminado sus albóndigas. Las porciones son definitivamente más pequeñas de lo que solían ser y también están usando tazas más pequeñas, así que el chocolate caliente no valió la pena y tuvimos la gran pizca de la mujer en la caja que no se le permitió recargas más - este es el caso traer de vuelta una taza de tamaño decente para empezar - incluso los rollos de canela han reducido de tamaño. También nos sentamos en una mesa con aire acondicionado soplando por encima que hizo que su comida se enfriara en cuestión de minutos. El personal es lo suficientemente amable, pero no vamos a tener ninguna prisa para volver, que es una pena porque nos encantó un viaje en familia y el almuerzo a Ikea en un día lluvioso.

Seen better days sned staff all walk around like they hate their jobs. Depressing. It can't be only me who thinks their meatballs more taste of nothing and no longer makes it worth going?

Typical IKEA shop always confusing unless you really know what you want but some great bargains to be had in the last chance section and reasonably price electrolyte along with an ice cream or hotdog for 75p

If you can’t self pick, you have to wait an hour for your items.

Ok cafe never seems to have coffee or coke drinks not working

Parking was easy. Breakfast was cold and had to queue for ages to get it. Only 1 of 6 coffee machines was working so more queuing. Usual wide range of products available and we get what we wanted but only after taking some time to find a member of staff to help us. Disappointed that tils were all self service.

Very busy there but always enjoy going around

Everything to furnish a home at reasonable cost.

IKEA Cardiff is a great store in the Grangetown area of Cardiff. Furniture beds kitchens and much much more for the home. Great Coffee shop and Restaurant. Plenty of free parking. Escalators or lifts to all floors. Wheelchair friendly and disabled toilets. Well worth a visit.

Attended IKEA in Cardiff today with my newborn child. To my surprise in the café, They had a section where you could feed your child in a secluded room. however in the bathroom the only facility they had to change your child, was a seat! which required your child to sit upright meaning there are no changing tables in the Cardiff site! I asked another customer to check in the female toilets, they had the same item where it was a small fold down chair bolted to the wall and not the table. As my child is below 3 months it is unable to sit in a chair, nor could you change a child's nappy whilst in the sitting up position anyway... This leaving me no option but to change my child's nappy on the floor of the disabled toilets which is an absolute disgrace very poor facilities at this depot

Huge shop and really nice staff

Not happy! Can you bring back the detolf glass display cabinet please 🙏!

I love this shop. So much to see and always great quality and great prices. Definitely a great selection and great service can always find what you want!! Will be going back again soon to get some artificial plants for our holiday home.

Meatballs and gravy What more can I say…. Awesome.

They need to buy salade dressing unless you like just eating dry lettuce and be carful your not eating on a chipped plate

I am not one to give bad reviews but a trip to ikea frustrating slow checkouts and don’t even bother trying to get food it’s way too slow I never want to visit again

Shocking Cafe...Cold food, long queues, the hot drinks area was disgusting, not clean, milk, hot chocolate spills all over the place, no one cleaning the area. Three out of four Tea/Coffee machines were out of order leading to long queues. People who had hot food left waiting for ages as only one till staffed and then having to wait 10 minutes to get their hot drinks...A total disgrace, surprised environmental health haven't paid them a visit?

Good deals and lots of quirky little things you didn't know you needed

Always good value & exercise routine trying to get out the other side 😀

Online says they have stock, get there and it's in the air, nothing on the floor had to buy an alternative. The staff were friendly enough about it all and helped with load the trolly

Loads of parking available Great choice of product in store

It has great storage solutions. I enjoy wandering around picking up ideas. Had an annoying experience today. I noted down the aisle and location of a birch table only to find it was white when I got home. Returned it and found the birch in a different location. An extra 24 mile journey. ☹️

Promotions come with strings attached to trip you up. More grifters after profit who don't care about customers

Not to busie heretoday. Nice to have a list andget most of it bought

Came here looking for furniture the other day. Was the usual idea shopping experience but this time we thought we would have a food while here. The food was ok for the price. The staff in the canteen area have to be the slowest serving people I've ever seen. Was in the que for over 15 minutes then when at the till the guy was the most miserable person I've met. Extremely slow service. Off putting.

Same old same old has everything a modern house needs

The family visited IKEA for tea. We arrived at 6.30pm on a very busy day in Cardiff to find quite a queue in the restaurant. I thought there wld be no food left as it closed at 7pm but the staff were filling the turines with fresh hot food and there was a good choice of food to be had and excellent value for money! I cldnt fault it and the staff were all very polite, happy and obliging after probably a very long day serving food!! I'll certainly be returning in the future, if only to visit the restaurant!! Well done to all the staff! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Unfortunately you won't get lost in IKEA, no mater where you are in the world. Most things we have purchased over the years, have stood there test of time

Think this place is fantastic. Great for a family brose and the food in the restaurant is unbelievable 👌

What's happened to IKEA? Children's portions for adults in the restaurant, plastic plants, tiny glasses for drinks. Do you think we haven't noticed?!? Shame on you IKEA 😕

What's not to love?! Great reasonably priced restaurant and products. 1 star off as very pleased to see they finally getting on recycling wagon, very late in the eco game but at least they now making effort. Come on IKEA you can do it

Love ikea. Great value and quality. Restaurant is brilliant.

Parking was a breeze and shopping around was easy enough but the wait for the food was a bit chaotic as we queued for nearly an hour but all around not a bad place

New Sausage and mash meal verry testy.

One of those very compelling places: can't help but but every time I'm there.

They have different sections for what they sell. The beauty of it is that their items are quite affordable. I love the fact that they have canteen.

Plenty for the home and nice apple pie.

The take out coffee area was so dirty I left there. I had not been around the store, it was a quick coffee take out... Ive never seen the place look so filthy, everything was grubby, the bin was overflowing onto the counter area, food residue all over the place. I left my drinks there and went elsewhere, awful.

Estoy realmente sorprendido y decepcionado por lo pobre que fue el servicio en el punto de venta de comida Market Hall de Ikea. El sistema de pedidos con las pantallas digitales fue bastante fácil, pero ahí terminó la experiencia positiva. Esperar 30 minutos para 1 perrito caliente, una bolsa de papas fritas y 2 refrescos es más que ridículo. Solo había uno de los dos mostradores abiertos, con solo tres empleados —uno reabasteciendo bollos de perritos calientes y atendiendo los hornos, cocinando lo que parecían suficientes bollos de canela para alimentar a todo Cardiff, uno preparando pedidos y otro sirviendo a los clientes sus pedidos— y ni una sonrisa entre ellos. Mientras tanto, la cola era enorme, y todos a mi alrededor se quejaban de la larga espera por su comida. Fue muy caótico. Para empeorar las cosas, una vez que finalmente recibimos nuestro pedido, la zona de estar estaba repugnantemente sucia y no era apta para sentarse a consumir alimentos, ya que no se había limpiado en horas. Fue con diferencia la peor visita que he tenido en Ikea. Ikea - Si vas a introducir un nuevo sistema de pedidos, por lo menos asegúrate de tener suficiente personal para apoyarlo adecuadamente, particularmente durante las horas pico en un día muy ocupado. La configuración actual es un desastre, y quien gestione el equipo de catering o los puntos de venta debería sentirse avergonzado por la falta de servicio y limpieza. No me apresuraré a regresar pronto a menos que las cosas mejoren drásticamente.

I live IKEA who doesn't... found what I was looking for and you always buy more things than you plan. Staff were lovely and helpful.

This is related to cafe at ikea. Its filthy and greasy in the sitting area. Attending staff is very rude

Terriblemente lento. Largas colas. Seguramente anticiparían que la hora del almuerzo estaría ocupada y tendrían la comida cocinada y lista. Muy mal servicio.

Good place to shop for home stuff also ikea have a cafe and a area for laptop user so people can work there as well as a brestfeeding area for women.

Update Jan 2025, crazy checkout queues due to new alleged express checkout forcing you to download their app. Went at a quiet time to. How about getting some staff in to take the customers money. It's IKEA free pencils tape measures and coffee if your a family member.

We went to look mainly at sofas, the one we were interested in didn’t have any display models with the head rest, so hard to know what it will be like with them, which is frustrating. But the experience in the restaurant was atrocious. We queued about 30 minutes to order, they were out of mashed potatoes, and the glasses and cutlery were filthy; I had to rummage through before we found something usable.

Ikea shop cardiff was well stocked up. Clean and tidy. The only thing the restaurant was very busy. The serving staff were quite slow and the fridge where the drink dessert and starter were pretty empty with no choices at all!!

Picked up a few items for our kitchen Very reasonable And good quality Can't wait to go back

Ikea family card is well worth it - grab yourselves a free hot drink when you visit!!

Huge showroom and household articles and plants available

What's to say. It's a shop that sells stuff if you want it

Nos detuvimos en el poco que vende hotdogs. Realmente horrible. Prácticamente no hay asientos. Creo que se espera que te pongas de pie y comas. Impactantemente sucio - comida por todo el piso y superficies. La máquina de bebidas estaba tan sucia que no quería tocarla. La comida era barata, supongo. No puedo ver cómo no se ha cerrado.

Quite busy, really helpful staff. We got everything we needed.

It was my first time here and I was amazed at the layout of the show rooms. They stock a great range of home furnitures and the prices look good. There is an impressive restaurant within the premise.

Regular jaunt for us. Enjoy the food and their homes marketplace

Dirty, no conditions for truck drivers! It takes a long time to unload!

Great store excellent products bought kitchen cabinets,click n collect in and out with few minutes great customer service experience no queueing highly recommended service.

It is what it is IKEA. Some great ideas very modern and trendy

Such a great place and the staff are very helpful

Ikea Cardiff, waited in all day Sunday for a delivery. Didn't turn up. No email or information. Ikea Cardiff are impossible to get hold of.perhaps they might see this and tell me what's happening but I won't hold my breath

Nice restaurant, wonderful selection of items, easy to navigate, very friendly helpful staff.

Come for the Kallax, stay for the vegetarian meatballs with lingonberry jam...

El gerente del restaurante sueco debe comer un plato lleno de la comida festiva de albóndigas. La Bruselas donde un color muy peculiar más cercano frío empapado e insípido. Las papas asadas y las chirivías se secan y una vez más son insípidas. La col roja tibia y bastante aguda. Las albóndigas tibias. ¿Por qué no me quejé, alguna vez traté de hacer eso en el restaurante? Busqué a alguien pero todos estaban ocupados con la Navidad sueca. No es una persona feliz, pero bueno, es Navidad.

My experience with IKEA’s kitchen installation service has been nothing short of frustrating. The installation itself has been plagued by delays, and what’s most disappointing is IKEA's complete lack of communication. Despite multiple promises of callbacks and updates, I’ve been left in the dark time and time again. When I’ve reached out for clarity or to simply get an idea of when the work will be completed, responses have been sporadic at best. This lack of responsiveness has caused major inconvenience and disrupted my plans, both at home and professionally. It’s disheartening to invest in a project intended to enhance my living space, only to feel abandoned by the very team supposed to deliver it. I had expected much better from IKEA, but this experience has left me reconsidering my trust in their services. For anyone considering IKEA’s installation services, be prepared for potential delays and a worrying lack of communication. I truly hope IKEA takes steps to address these issues because, at the moment, I am left feeling let down and frustrated.

We sang here as a choir to start the day off for Noahs ark charity for children, everyone was singing or dancing along with us , I would like to thank those who donated to the charity or who went to see santa

I went here with my partner for breakfast. Let’s just say it’s appalling. The people serving food are very rude and look really angry. The dishes and glasses are the worst I’ve seen in a cafe. Safe to say we won’t be back to Cardiff ikea lmao 🤢

Just been to IKEA Cardiff which is our favourite place to visit for lots of reasons. However, the whole store is now automated, no till staff just dozens of self service checkouts including the food store and cafe. No lifts working, escalator out of order, no staff available to help. It's a thoroughly horrible experience and we won't be going again.I wouldn't recommend this store to anyone.

Inconsistent portion sizes. People ahead of us had mountains of chips whilst we got as pictured.. that amount of quinoa won't even feed a child.

Very well presented shop.. Plenty of choice, plenty of parking, certainly value for money

IKEA is in a class of its own. Goods are excellent and brilliantly displayed the restaurant is excellent value. I can't criticise the store at all

We had food it was great and cheap wat more do you want and we found the furniture we were after

Great place for shopping, clean and lovely restaurant

Great store as are all ikea shops that I have visited. Great quality and value and always enjoy a snack at the food hall.

The meatballs are delicious, and you can buy everything you’d need for your home here! I especially love the stuffed animals, and the calax is so useful for organising bits and bobs away.

IKEA you should be ashamed of yourselves. I recommend you close this restaurant until such time that you can look after it properly. The cups and cutlery were dirty, the queue was so long that when you received your meal it got cold whilst waiting to pay. The drinks dispensers were not functioning and several coffee machines were empty. My fruit salad had started to ferment, this was changed for me. Please get you act together. Find more staff and keep it maintaned and clean.

El restaurante es abismal. Alimentos fríos, máquinas de bebidas fuera de servicio, cubiertos y vasos sucios. El restaurante también es frío.

IKEA deberían avergonzarse de ustedes mismos. Te recomiendo que cierres este restaurante hasta el momento en que puedas cuidarlo adecuadamente. Las tazas y los cubiertos estaban sucios, la cola era tan larga que cuando recibías tu comida se enfriaba mientras esperabas pagar. Los dispensadores de bebidas no funcionaban y varias máquinas de café estaban vacías. Mi ensalada de frutas había comenzado a fermentar, esto cambió para mí. Por favor, hagan que actúen juntos. Encuentra más personal y mantenlo limpio.

Still don't understand why Blåhaj is a trans icon

Busy at weekends. Everything an ikea should be - good value, fun and meatballs.

Great selection, always have stock of what we need. Beats Bristol IKEA in every way!

Nice be place to do all day shopping. All type of house holds.

It was nice and big in there and I got meatballs and chips and it was delicious I recommend the food as it is cheap and delicious.

Amazing trip again to IKEA. Great layout and very well maintained store. Found what I needed.

It's an IKEA. Restaurant was slow and the food not up to standard for IKEA

Massive store, easy to get lost in, thankfully there are short cuts to let you escape. Fantastic variety, my wife hated it but I loved it. Didn't get to taste the legendry meatballs, but I'm sure i will next time (with or without my wife)

Want to experience life grinding to a halt? Come to IKEA Cardiff. Need to return something? That'll take at least 30 minutes, even with one person in front of you in the queue. A hot dog from the 'fast food' counter? Another 30 minutes. I gave up on the restaurant (on a quiet weekday morning) when the queue didn't move for 15 minutes.

Great place to get affordable home furniture. Good customer service as well. IKEA has a large multi-storey car park available for customers.

Great variety and good value for money

We ordered online so my score is purely my experience on collecting. Loads of parking and fast service.

Friendly staff even thought I visited just before closing

Absolutely awful delivery experience. Ordered something for delivery and they failed to deliver it upwards of 5 times, they never contacted us on the day of delivery and would just reschedule it over and over. Ikea support couldn't seem to even contact the store to find out what was happening.
