Jaspers Tea Rooms in Cardiff

Freezing cold venue, even hot tea didnt warm me up!

I visited Jaspers today for my birthday. Greeted by a young girl who seemed to have quite a bit of an attitude towards us. When we arrived I told her we were booked in for 3pm and went on to say what for when she interrupted me by saying ‘yeah for afternoon tea’. The afternoon tea was lovely and the young guy who brought our drinks/food out was pleasant. When I went to pay, she didn’t tell me how much it was so I just paid but once I left I thought the amount was a little steep so I went back to confirm. In fairness I haven’t been for afternoon tea for a while so I was a little out with the pricing but I told her that wasn’t the price on the website it was saying it’s around £13 each. She told me that was probably an old price and if it was that price she would have charged me. Like I said the price to me was a little steep but I can get my head around that. What I didn’t like was the attitude from her. Very sarcastic and short with me. Also my mum phoned them the week leading up to my birthday (which I was wasn’t aware) to ask them to make it a little special for me being as it’s my birthday (a ballon on the chair or candle in a cake) and they said they would do something but I didn’t have that. Again I wasn’t aware of the conversation so I didn’t miss out necessarily. Again the afternoon was lovely though.

Un saludo amable y un gran café. La tarta de zanahoria solía ser mi favorita, pero su tarta Guinness es espectacular y es mi nueva favorita. Buen baño. El precio era muy razonable también.

Esta fue la primera visita. Encantador escenario. Tomé el Cawl y mi compañero la sopa de verduras de invierno. Tristemente nuestro almuerzo fue muy decepcionante. Era muy caro teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de la porción y la presentación. Aunque mi Cawl era muy delicioso y tenía mucho cordero, se servía en un tazón de tamaño tacaño y solo una rebanada de pan delgado y flácido! ¡Al menos proporcione 2 rodajas! O mejor aún un trozo de pan crujiente en lugar de algo que se asemeje a una barra de valor de la tienda de la esquina : ( Muy mal valor, probablemente no volverá.

Fui con un amigo a tomar el té por la tarde. Habíamos reservado pero llegamos tarde debido al tráfico y perderse! Fueron muy serviciales y mantuvieron nuestra mesa sin quejas y sin prisas. El té de la tarde era encantador, buenos sándwiches y pasteles y bollos encantadores. Realmente delicioso! Los salones de té son peculiares y agradables, con un montón de pequeños rincones, por lo que se siente bastante íntimo. El personal era amable y servicial.

Excellent afternoon tea, plenty to eat and plenty of tea and coffee, staff were very friendly and obliging, will definitely make a return visit

Pequeño lugar encantador para un café y charla. Pequeños agujeros privados para disfrutar de una conversación sin tener que gritarse. Sin duda volveré de nuevo. Una taza ordenada de blanco plano y pastel galés también 😊

Beautiful afternoon tea, everything lovely and fresh, good friendly service.

The food here is mediocre and don’t expect excellent coffee, but what really made the experience negative was the dismissive behaviour of the two girls serving us today. Brazen eye-rolling and overall sullen and unfriendly, a shame really

We stopped here for afternoon tea. A very quaint, oldy, worldly place. The food & service were both pretty decent.

Great afternoon tea Great chef Fab staff Clean and tidy Try the (Guinness cake) a must buy

Excellent food, service & atmosphere. Well located near to the Cathedral and a car park.

La elección del menú es buena. Puedes tomar un aperitivo, una comida o un té por la tarde y todo está recién hecho. Tienen una opción de pan sin gluten y una buena selección de pasteles incluyendo sin gluten. Tenía rarebit galés y un bollo caliente con mermelada y crema, ambos sin gluten. El personal es servicial y amable y no es demasiado caro. Sin duda merece la pena visitar este hermoso y tradicional salón de té.

Owner very very rude and argumentative I’m not quite sure how she might to run a business with that type of attitude towards customers

Had afternoon tea delivered to my home address (other side of cardiff) as a surprise for my wife for her birthday.service was brill,food was absolutely lovely and also wife happy.never used jaspers before but definitely using them again.big thank you.

Nice friendly cafe, in the laid-back suburb of Llandaff. Close to the cathedral.

Delightful tea rooms in Llandaff. The warm, corned beef pie is rather good.

Loved this tea room in traditional old buildings. We had to go through about 5 cosy little rooms before reaching the garden, so quaint. Delicious food too, we.had the chicken and ham pie.

We had the most delicious scone with jam and cream this afternoon, the scone was quite large, one of the best we've ever tasted. Lovely place, must go back!

Had the warmest of welcome,here on a cold April day,2024. Afternoon tea for two,a( Christmas gift from my nephew.). Delicious tea time sandwiches and cakes,with an endless amount of tea,served in a large 🫖. Thankyou for the welcome. M.P.Jones

Beautiful, cosy place. Cake selection is fantastic and they are delicious. Staff are super friendly.

Been here a few times now. Lovely food and delicious cakes.

If you have a diet requirement, as I have gluten free and vegan, don’t go to this place. Pre-Booked in for Mother’s Day, they lost the booking, half of the party got there food and half an hour later still didn’t get mine. Eventually it came with real cream with the scone!!! Couldn’t eat it and when I enquired at the desk what was going on I was told” the chef is Polish” !!! Terrible service and place.

Quiet, beautiful, excellent service and lovely treatment

A beautiful tiny cafe. I enjoyed the caramel cheesecake. Definitely the place to go to every time I’m touring Llandaf!

Absolutely rude lady serving me and my boyfriend. Went in to order a coffee and she said “go on” rude manners. She seemed to be off with us apparently for no reason. She treated customers behind us nicely but didn’t treat us with the same energy. Wanted to go in as it looked cute, but with rude manners like hers, won’t see me go there again.

Fitted us in for afternoon tea on the day. Food was delicious.... particularly loved the scone with cream and jam. Staff were wonderful, very friendly.

Jasper's is an old-fashioned coffee and cake shop with a small outdoor seating area out the back. I enjoy food here, but for vegans or people with lactose allergies, the shop has limited options for alternative milks.

The place was very nice with interesting furniture. I have to ay the tea was terrible. Very insipid like milk and water. If you want a very nice place and good looking cakes. It would be right up your street.

Fantastic cafe/tea room in Llandaff. Food fantastic. Chef very accommodating of personal preferences. Staff really friendly. Cakes are out for of this world. Coffee could be nicer. Overall would highly recommend.

My soup was really tasty and delicious

Myself and my wife had afternoon tea which was a present from a family member. Latte was perfect as was the scones and cakes. The staff were so helpful and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

I ordered an afternoon tea for my parents as a nice surprise after they had a tough week. I currently live in Australia and had issues with the payment screen as I was abroad. I eventually was able to use my Aussie bank account but faced some problems with the order being confirmed. I want to say a special thank you to Richard who was so helpful and supportive in trying to rectify this situation. He replied promptly to my emails and ensured my parents were handed their delivery. My parents enjoyed every delicious treat as part of the afternoon tea for two and were pleasantly surprised to receive this on a Sunday morning. Thank you so much to Jaspers Tea Room. I will definitely be ordering again.

We’ve had a few afternoon teas delivered at home from Jaspers and they’ve always been lovely. A nice selection of sandwiches and cakes (these include macarons, mini Welshcakes, white chocolate covered strawberries, scones with clotted cream and little lots of jam, amongst others). When I’ve ordered an afternoon tea, Jaspers have always asked about dietary requirements, which is helpful. I’ve also visited the tearooms in Llandaf village, opposite the old Bishop’s Palace, for a pot of tea and cakes. A really nice selection of cakes at the counter (you order at the counter), it’s difficult to choose! The tearooms are lovely to visit because they’re so quaint. The artwork on the walls is nice too.

Was very good 👍 staff attentive.cakes scones and sandwiches 🥪 👌 and pot of tea 🍵 😋 will definitely recommend them for high tea . Was a lovely surprise from my daughter 😊 ❤..thank you ..

I booked afternoon tea here for my sisters hen party. It's a lovely little place which offers vegetarian and vegan options. They allowed one of us to pop up early and put a few simple decorations up. The afternoon tea was really lovely! The vegan option was great! Really enjoyed everything on there, also they had vegan hot chocolate and whip! The only cons where not super friendly via email (how i booked), it was a bit on the cool side inside there (I like to be warm) and they didn't come around to check drinks after they brought the food, we had to go find someone for extra drinks. Even with the cons, still really nice experience with friendly staff and the food was really lovely. I would return and recommend.

This place is the best restaurant and bar to visit in Val Thorens by far. The food is exceptional, the drink is perfectly chilled and the staff are so friendly. I accidentally let my bag there whilst on the slopes and came back to find it safe and sound behind the bar. Thank you to the manager and manageress 🙌

I like the compact layout here. Every time we turn a small corner, there is a semi-independent special space where we can gather and chat comfortably with friends. It seems that the people who visit are all familiar and friendly neighbors. The overall atmosphere is very peaceful and I like it very much.

Lovely tea and cake in a traditional tea room setting.

Had a lovely pot tea and a cake, with the lovely miss Thomas 👩‍❤️‍👨

Excellent coffee. Sampled two of their cakes, chocolate and "Guinness" - delicious both. An olde-wordly atmosphere which encourages a feeling of escape to a more peaceful world.

Friendly staff and a good menu. The seating is scattered through the building but comfortable. We both had Welsh rarebit which was really tasty. We had drinks and we ate for less than £15 each. Nice toilet facility too

Disappointing visit. We shared a sausage Panini which tasted really odd. Not sure what was wrong with the sausage but I'm not fussy but I couldn't eat it as it was so horrible. We then had scones with Jam and cream. The scones tasted really strange almost give off but not stale. Not sure whether they'd used gone off milk or something to make them but the whole experience was disappointing

I visited jaspers and had a lovely coffee and carrot cake! Best I have tasted anywhere fully reccomend

We ordered coffee and cake to go. There looked to be a nice selection of cakes on offer but I went for the chocolate chip shortbread which was very nice. The coffee however wasn’t I’m afraid and was extremely weak tasting to the point where I threw half of mine away. I feel like if the coffee was improved then they may get a lot more customers as other reviews I see also comment likewise.

Popped into Jaspers by chance for a quick bite during work and was not disappointed. Food was great, staff were friendly and everyone around me seemed to be enjoying themselves. Had never been before but will definitely return with my partner to try their afternoon tea and would recommend to others! I also heard a woman tell the owner she’d just had the best corned beef pie and was raving about it to other customers before leaving - needless to say I’ll be trying the corned beef pie next time!

First time visiting after a friend recommended it, we had a lovely time the food was amazing, Nan loved her corned beef pie and my sister said she would be going back soon for another salmon and scrambled egg bagel! Amazing selection of cakes scones in pastries we were so full we had our desserts to take away Can't wait to go back.

Lovely staff, delicious food and dog friendly too. We were gifted a voucher for an afternoon tea for two and booked a table in the courtyard to have it. The food was lovely and very generous - we had to take some cake home as we couldn't finish it all.

Hosted a baby shower in Jaspers on Sunday and they couldn’t have been more attentive ❤️ the staff were great and the food was absolutely lovely 🥰 Thank you so much for making it such a lovely afternoon ❤️

Stopped here for afternoon tea with my partner, a lovely, unpretentious little place in a delightful location just a short walk from Llandaff Cathedral. Staff were friendly and welcoming, sandwiches and cakes were fresh, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious and the surroundings and decor tasteful and full of character. Cannot recommend the food, drink and service highly enough, a real find and we will certainly be back.

Enjoyed our afternoon tea her with family. Special adjustments made for our fussy family. Great service. Thank you 😊😊😊

The food was amazing the service was quick an very polite. As I have a ceoliac daughter they were very helpful with dietary requirements to the chef knew exactly what she could an couldn't have

Amazing lunch / afternoon tea. Very high quality and loads of it!! Staff were friendly and helpful. The whole place was very clean, will defo go again.

Jaspers was recommended to me by my work colleagues so booked for 6 of us to go there for my friend's 50th birthday. Friendly welcome on arrival & served with tea & coffee within a couple of minutes. Soon after, our cream tea arrived, sandwiches,cakes, scones with fresh Clotted cream & jam, all beautifully fresh & delicious. We had numerous top ups of tea & coffee throughout our visit. The complete visit was superb, service was second to none and food absolutely delicious. Already booked to return for my other friends birthday in August. Thankyou Jaspers Highly recommended !!!!!!!!

We visited here as a family and were pretty much ignored by staff. There was about 4 people we saw plus more in kitchen and even when standing at the desk to order, just ignored. No welcome at all really. felt like customers were an inconvenience for their chatting/phone use. No menu’s available for tables so we had to go up to the ordering desk one at a time to see what was on offer. We had wanted afternoon tea (main reason for choosing Jaspers) but there was no info on the afternoon tea displayed anywhere, when asking what was on it got an unhelpful response of ‘sandwiches and cakes’. Really difficult to get useful information out of the staff. We were seated in a back room, which was absolutely freezing, and cold in appearance, felt like a storage area they’d popped a table in. The food was ok - I remember this place being a lot better back when I used to spend more time in Llandaff (c.2010). In my opinion really gone down hill and I was disappointed I’d recommended it.

Bought an afternoon tea for a birthday present - delicious and scrummy! Have used them before and will again - can't recommend them more highly.

This is a delightful little tea room. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I think the place must be several cottages knocked onto one. The place is a bit of a labyrinth with one room leading into the next and eventually ending up in a outside courtyard. We enjoyed lounging in the sun in the tranquil court yard. Prices are about average and I would be happy to visit there again.

We called in here after wandering around the village and were warmly greeted by friendly staff. We chose to eat in the garden which needs a bit of TLC. Hubby had a sausage and caramelised onion baguette, I had the veg quiche. Food tasty and nicely presented. Coffees were a bit too weak for us. We look forward to returning.

My daughter got the takeaway afternoon tea box for mothers day for me , slowly munching my way through this little bit of heaven . Everything beautifully fresh and tasty and we'll presented . Highly recommend .

Had takeaway afternoon tea for six. Drove to my sister in England for her birthday. All sandwiches cakes scone cookies Welch cake excellent my family said gold star. I’ll recommend jaspers to everyone

We had cold weak tea served 20 minutes before our accompanying tea cake and sandwich, both of which were poorly presented. Tea cake was dry and bacon roll small with a tiny ramekin of crisps alongside. Very poor value for money.

Really enjoyed our afternoon tea for two! The food was all delicious, especially the scones, and the service was really friendly and attentive. Would recommend to anyone visiting the cathedral!

Lovely afternoon tea at Jaspers. Sandwiches, scones, cake, macaroons, chocolate coated strawberries and mini welsh cakes…great

We often go to Jasper's. The staff are friendly. There is a good choice of food, both savoury and sweet.

This was part 1 of a present. I must speak as i find staff were friendly welcoming, attentive and polite. Food well presented and lovely safe to say well fed. would i recommend..............most definitely

This place is seriously ripping people off! We bought 2 toasted sandwiches and a tea for £18.80!! £3.30 for a tea!! The food was so basic- ice berg lettuce and the smallest pot of crisps. I never mind paying if the food justifies it but...

Even though this had been booked well in advance, we were given a dirty table in the scruffy garden. A present for my birthday from my son, we also took my grandson…I paid for his tea which cost me £19! …for 3 finger sandwiches, 1...

The best afternoon tea ever! Where to start? Firstly the staff at this place are absolutely Phenomenal! They are friendly, inviting and there isn’t anything they won’t do for you. We were constantly checked on and had loads of refills of tea. Secondly everything was...

The staff were friendly when we arrived the afternoon tea was served as soon as we sat down . They were happy to let us sit in the small garden area We booked for 2.30 they close at 4 at 3.30 the staff wanted to...

Lush coffee and cakes and I'm in love with these pictures by Chris Langley

A fabulous place, service is exceptional as was the afternoon tea for my mums birthday 🎂. Highly recommended, love this place xx

Home made pies and cakes. Lovely tastey food. I would recommend the corned beef pie and cawl. Jasper's did the food for our wedding at the Llandaff Institute, the buffet style food was amazing, as expected. Well done Babs and her team. I would recommend for an event, or even to have teas delivered.

Excellent place and quaint. Lovely food. We had an afternoon tea. Staff friendly. All great. I recommend others to visit.

The afternoon tea boxes delivered to our home today were absolutely delicious. A lovely selection of finger sandwiches including gluten free and the array of cakes was wonderful. Fresh strawberries, clotted cream, little pots of jam and Welsh tea bags were included. It proved to be a wonderful treat for us. Jaspers excelled themselves.

Lovely quaint tea rooms, beautiful food. Nice atmosphere

My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon tea (one was gluten free). We both really enjoyed them. Will come again. The portion sizes we just perfect for us too.

Lovely afternoon tea quaint little tearoom and lovely service to.

Was a bit disappointed, as there was no reserved table even though I had booked. So ended up sitting next to toilet, which I hate. Tea and coffee were luke warm , and we had to go and ask for some sauce , it wasn't offered. The waitress was young and didn't speak to us , and my white chocolate and raspberry cake didn't taste of white chocolate and the raspberry was just raspberry jam, but it was very moist thankfully. Sorry to be picky , but we rarely go out now, and maybe we expect too much . Sandwiches and toasties were OK.

Good non-corporate traditional place. Good tea and scones. Plenty of cream and jam. Sat in 18th century preaching chair. Good value.

Lovely venue with olde world charm near the cathedral (and 2hrs free parking nearby). Went for afternoon tea which was a plentiful array of sandwiches (egg mayo, ham & mustard and salmon cream cheese) and sweet treats (cup cake, large mini Victoria sponge, macaroon, mini welsh cake, scone cream jam & chocolate strawberry). Coffee was properly hot (rare these days) and delicious. Only thing that let this down was service. The young lady looking after us had a totally disinterested manner, no one came to check if all ok or offer coffee top up despite frequently walking passed our table.

Wonderful little tearoom with lovely decor. Very good coffee and excellent service

We hadn't visited Jasper's for a while but we will make sure we visit there again soon. The lunch was perfect. We had vegetable soup and quiche. The soup was delicious and as good as I've tasted. The quiche, along with the salad that came...

Lovely little, ole fashioned tearoom. Excellent afternoon tea, bountiful of delicious & savoury treats. Lovely service.

Jaspers tea rooms did an outstanding outside catering afternoon tea event for 40 people at Insole Court for our family last Saturday 6th November. The service was exceptional and the cakes and sandwiches were delicious. The vintage crockery and cake stands on the tables looked stunning. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much Babs to you and your friendly team for making our afternoon tea event such a success.

There's a very traditional British tea room vibe on offer here. Very nice tea, coffee, cakes and snacks, though nothing out of the ordinary. I personally find the seating area a bit cramped and dark, but that fits the general olde-worlde style of the place. Apparently there's a decent garden, but it's always been closed when I've visited, and I found it very off-putting on my last visit that someone was putting round a mop ready to shut up shop. Surely you do this after you've closed your doors to customers?! Pleasant staff and service, but not one of my favourite places really.

Had a bacon roll and a hot chocolate. bacon roll was solid, in fact, very solid. But the hot chocolate, wowee, go on Jasper, tell the recipe. that was NAUGHTY! Great way to start the morning, and will definitely be back sometime!

Lovely food and atmosphere. Excellent service. The waitresses were friendly and helpful. Would recommend it.

Fantastic afternoon tea for my Mum's birthday. Dietary requirements catered for, the gluten free option was fantastic. Staff were amazing & great value for money. We will definitely be back!

Extremely satisfying afternoon tea. More than adequate and substantial. Lovely outing with a dear family friend we haven't seen since 2019.

We popped in for drinks and cakes after visiting the Cathedral. What a gorgeous and quirky place. We loved every minute. The Welsh cakes were truly the best I've ever had

We love this place, it has a great ambiance and an excellent afternoon tea selection.

Didn't think much of Jasper's..A pot of weak tea for two, and Bara Brith for two, £12.00! And I think staff should be given a bit more training than simply dumping a loaded tray onto the table and leaving you to it.. Grim.

Lovely lunch at Jaspers Tea Rooms today, followed up with delicious treat of Honey comb chocolate Brownies Great service, wonderful food, such a treat 🙂

Two cups of weak tea and two pieces of cake for £12 at a wobbly table outside. Not great.

Very quaint little rooms. Friendly service. Afternoon tea we had was really nice with a nice sandwich selection and lovely cakes...brought some home with us. Plenty of tea and coffee. There was a flow of local people using the place. Would definitely recommend 😊

Lovely afternoon tea in the garden for a birthday, well worth a visit.
