Nata & Co Bakery in Cardiff

Obviously a popular place but my breakfast experience wasn't the best ! Coffee OK but the croissant seemed only half cooked . I wasn't sure if this was an old Portuguese custom or an oversight by the bakery ! I should have tried the Portuguese speciality , which I'm sure would have been excellent .

Whenever I’m in Cardiff this is always my first port of call for coffee and cake. Needed something to recharge the batteries this morning after the Cardiff half marathon - great mortadella and cheese sandwich, the big slices of pastel da nata even better than the individual cakes, best coffee in Cardiff. Please open a branch in the West Midlands.

Just had the most amazing experience at Natas & Co bakery in Cardiff! The pastries were absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was so cozy and inviting. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a 5-star bakery that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Cardiff.

Lovely staff working in the sweltering heat today - please sort it! Air con is needed. Coffee/cake/service was top notch.

Wow ! lovely to find a Portuguese cafe in Cardiff. A 2 night 3 day visit from Essex . Pastel del Nata great ! Just as good as in Lisbon and Porto which we visited last September. Coffee excellent. Will return 👍 . Highly recommend.

Very good cafe serving good food I recommend the soup of the day and the Bacalhau à Bràs. Also the coffee is good as are there pastel de natas the orininal or with a twist definitely worth a try.

One of the nicest coffees in Cardiff and the natas are the best that I’ve tasted anywhere. They often have their own biscuits, which are also gorgeous. Cannot recommend them enough!

Uma das boas surpresas que Cardiff me reservou. Um Cantinho português onde é servido um delicioso caldo verde. Quentinho para contrariar o frio que se fazia sentir. Mas há mais.... Bacalhau à brás, Migas etc. Ah e claro, não falta o delicioso pastel de nata. Muito bom !!

During my week's trip to Cardiff I came every day, sometimes twice! It's a perfect spot - and about the only one - to get a breakfast-time snack as it opens at 7.00 a.m. And such quality. Delicious every time, with a wide range of bakery items. I also used it to get some takeaway pasteis de nata to take on a visit to friends. Late in the trip I introduced the cafe to local friends, who enjoyed it as much as I did. The caldo verde soup, taken on the final day, was truly excellent, and a nice final memory before returning home.

Needed a quick late lunch bite and didn’t want to spend time in a restaurant. I walked by and just had to take a taste of back home. It was all delicious and great service.

My second visit in two days while visiting Cardiff. On the first day I had the “Sopa de Pedra” (Stone Soup)… for a soup it is a whole meal… highly recommended. Since I am Portuguese, I can say that the authenticity is real… great job! I came back the next day, and today I am trying the “Bacalhau à Brás” (Cod “Á Brás)) Great job as well. I have been extremely impressed. If you looking for inexpensive (lunch style prices) and great food, this is a place to be… of course you should not leave without trying the “pasteis de nata”… after all, this is a Portuguese Café! Will definitely come back when I re-visit Cardiff.

My mum bought a pack of 6 pastel de Natas as they were doing an offer of buy 6 and get 20% off to take away. We tried it and in my opinion, these were not as good as the ones you get at other places. There was an overwhelming taste of cinnamon and the egg custard wasn't creamy, sweet nor were there any taste of egg. The pastry wasn't flaky or buttery and was quite hard to bite into. A bit underwhelming as I expected more from an 'authentic' Portuguese bakery.

My boyfriend and I went in there to have a pastel de nata and a coffee. It was delicious, the staff was very friendly and the place had a cosy atmosphere. If you are cold I totally recommend make a stop here.

What a wonderful/ lovely place !! Very nice staff there ,too ! I had some pastel de nata & pastries there with a cup of Earl grey ! The very best pastel de nata I've ever had in my life !!! 😍 😋🤤 I ended up buying 3 more to go !! Lol And it wasn't enough !! I couldn't get enough of it !! Lol. I got a better deal for that ,too !! ( than buying 1 ,or 2 pcs )I actually had to leave my table for a brief period & step out & I went back to another bakery previously I stopped by & purchased some pastries because left my smartphone there !! Lol When I got back with my phone ,I realized SOMEONE PUT A SAUCER ON MY TEA CUP TO KEEP my tea WARM for me !!! WHAT A FABULOUS GESTURE/ SERVICE !! A lady worker with a dark long hair did that for me !! I thanked her & expressed my appreciation in words ! It was a very nice surprise !! Like the 1st class treatment we usually receive at a 5 star hotel ,or restaurant !! AMAZING !! I asked her if she was the manager there ,she said no ! SHE SHOULD be the one !!! The pastel de nata literally MELTED in my mouth !!! SO ~DELICIOUS !!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAFE/ BAKERY !!! A MUST STOP / VISIT IN CARDIFF !!! It exceeded my expectations !!! Very polite ,very friendly employees were there !! The relaxed & cozy atmosphere was very very nice ,too !! It was very clean ,too !! If you don't visit here ,you're gonna miss out a lot !! I really wish if we had this store over here in Los Angeles ,too !! People in Cardiff are so ~lucky to have them !!! I am jealous !!

Great Portuguese cafe/ Bakery. Fresh savoury and sweet portuguese cakes, nibbles. The Natas were fantastic. The Bola de Berlin need improving, too much dough and not fluffy like the real thing. But overall, I recommend this place for a mid morning/ afternoon snack or sweet for a treat. 👍

We had coffee and pastel de nata, possibly the best little tarts I have tasted. The establishment is very well kept and a comfortable place to be.

We stopped here for a snack since we are fans of Pasteis de Nata. We tried some of their savory treats and we are happy we did. The food is very good here, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive. This is in front of the entrance to Cardiff castle, so it can’t be missed.

Luscious treats of my fave Nata pastries authentically Portuguese! Freshly baked and reasonably priced! Friendly staff too!

Lovely Pastéis de Nata if you fancy a sweet treat in Cardiff by the castle. Tasty and fresh, great pastry. Not super cheap but not expensive. There is seating there too so good stop for a coffee and a treat. Service was excellent.

Ambiente acolhedor. Serviço rápido e de qualidade. Apreciámos o café expresso e o pastel de nata. Apesar de pequeno era extremamente saboroso

We've been in Cardiff for almost a month, far from home, while my youngest was hospitalized. It's been a struggle at times, so every weekend I've taken my oldest to this bakery as a special treat. What a nice place to go. The food has always tasted great (the bola de carne was especially popular) and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It become our favourite almost instantly.

Very central in town opposite castle main entrance. Authentic Portuguese pastries, Coffee was excellent, nice roast, smooth. Staff explained choices well and service was swift. Highly recommended.

Very nice place, they were really friendly and accommodated our request, the Portuguese tart are very good, I had a vegetarian brioche was delicious and massive and shared with my husband, our kid had sausage roll the pastry was nice, definitely a place to try

Delicious choice of lunch snacks and cakes, friendly service and good price. Nice to find something a little different to eat for a change.

Three of us had a delightful lunch, very good prices substantial sandwiches and I had a main meal. The food was tasty and the friendly service made it an even a better experience, good relaxed unhurried atmosphere. Even if they were very busy the service...

£2.20 for a cup of tea!! Bonkers. Server asked me if I wanted the deal of having a Portuguese tart with my cuppa. I stupidly thought the deal was "free tart with a cuppa" so £2.20 seemed good for that. I even commented, "hey, free...

Always hits the spot a little treat from here. Staff are always there to help. Would highly recommend for something sweet

Everything absolutely amazing, from the customer service till the food in itself, everything you order is packed with flavour! Coffees as well are well made and everything has an amazing price for the value!

We came here with our 2 year old daughter on Sunday. Staff were lovely and made a fuss of the little one too. We had a meat and vegetable pastry, which was delicious. My only complaint with regards to the food was, we asked for...

Amazing nata! They were great, we tried the peanut butter nata and the lemon nata! Would definitely have them both again. Also had a smoothie, which was fine but for the price of it, I would have expected it to be made fresh. Toilets could...

I have visited many times while in Cardiff! Delicious Portuguese custard tarts and many other cakes of excellent quality! Convenient location facing Cardiff Castle.

Fantastic Portuguese tarts. A great selection of other sweet and savoury goods also available. Friendly staff.

I ordered the Oreo cake and it was amazing! I received a massive slice and it was moist and not too rich, so it was not sickly and it was easy to eat a lot of it! It was also covered in cream and it...

I was in Cardiff for the day, and had been told by many work colleagues that I simply HAD to visit Nata & Co Bakery and try their produce. I had a prego, a latte and a pastel de nata (as had been recommended by...

We came here on rainy Saturday afternoon and it was busy, but as there is loads of sitting options we manage to seat where we wanted. The staff is very nice and friendly and welcomed us straight after entering the cafe. We had fried sweet...

I've been coming to this place for over 2 years. I don't change it for any other place. Good quality food and coffee, and professional and friendly staff. The only thing I am not happy about is the amount of hours this guys are working....

Friendly little cafe, serving all kinds of lovely baked bread with scrumptious fillings, great Nata with a coffee.

Popped in for a coffee and a cake today. Lovely staff, lovely coffee and delicious Natas! One is never enough! A regular stop off for me and long may it continue.

Very friendly,helpful,delicious pastas De natas,lots of flavours,Apple,choc,lemon but prefer original

The pastel de nata that I had was so delicious and so reasonably priced that it took great self control to not go back and order more! I wish there was a bakery like this near where I live.

位於卡地夫城堡前的麵包蛋糕店，是位於此城的其中一家。除了點心和飲料外，還有一特產，葡式蛋塔。但口味與葡式蛋塔其內餡不太一樣，外皮確很雷同，不妨來嚐試看看！

Locale molto piacevole. I dolci buonissimi e soprattutto c' é molta scelta. Prezzi nella media, ci tornerò sicuramente

とても沢山のペイストリーが並んでいるお店。甘系で同じみの定番のアップルもあれば、ちょっとかわったピーナツも美味しい。お店の中で食べて帰ることもできます。お勧めはスープとセット。お腹が空いていたらトーストも選べます。

Al centro di Cardiff a pochi passi dal Castello. Locale accogliente e ben curato. Personale disponibile e cibo caratteristico ottimo! Tempi valico e prezzi bassi!

Llegamos a Cardiff y antes de empezar el tour decidimos comer algo y entramos. Excelente comida y ambiente agradable. Los quichés son fabulosos. Pedimos varios y otras cosas que no conocíamos. El personal muy amable, a pesar que nosotros no dominamos el inglés. Los precios van promedio con la ciudad. Cada cosa al rededor de las 3 libras. Volveremos.

My friend and I have taken to touring Cardiff coffee shops in our lunch breaks when we can, and trying to find the best coffee in Cardiff.

Lovely cafe, quick service and very friendly staff! Would definitely recommend and will be back again for some more natas :)

As regular visitors to this great wee cafe we're never disappointed. The service is great and so is the food. The staff are really friendly and consistent Top marks from us!

I was early for a meeting so thought a coffee would go down well so popped into Nata and ordered a simple decaff Americano. It was the most delicious coffee I have ever had, so had to have a second! The service was exemplary and the cafe was spotless! I was not there to buy food though I was sorely tempted as it looked delicious. At the end of the day popped back in to buy some custard tarts to take home. They had to be the best Pastel de Nata we have ever tasted. Thank heavens I don't live in Cardiff or I'd be the size of a house!

Having spent the first two weeks of July in Portugal ,we were delighted to come across this Portuguese treat on a recent visit to Cardiff.Their pastel de nata were as delicious as the ones we sampled several times in Lisbon. Highly recommended.

Smoothies are not nice and neither are the cakes. Given this place a few chances, staff are nice but their cakes are not unfortunately. Their ‘cheesecake’ literally taste like jelly, it’s not cheesecake and it’s nearly £4 a slice. Very disappointed by the desserts as they look amazing but aren’t up to anything.

Cosy little bakery with a delicious selection of cakes and nattas ❤ the nutella natta was amazing! Will visit again next time we visit Cardiff!

Muito bom ver uma loja com sotaque português em pleno Reino Unido. Tive a oportunidade de comer uma coxinha e comer um pastel de Belém. Fiquei encantado com o espaço e principalmente a localização. O pessoal atencioso apesar do movimento intenso no horário que fomos o pessoal consegui atender a contento. Não consegui experimentar as outras guloseimas mas pareciam serem deliciosas. Parabéns pela iniciativa. Sucesso

After visiting Cardiff Castle , we spotted

Stumbled on Nata & Co Bakery on a short break in Cardiff - what a lovely find! Great Portuguese cakes and coffee, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere.

Gran variedad de pasteles, a cual más rico. El personal muy agradable. Totalmente recomendable un buen desayuno antes de visitar el castillo, solo hay que cruzar la calle.

Stopped here today for coffee and pasta da nata Delicious and even though we arrived near to closing time,the staff were very welcoming and warm.A real find

We noticed this place while wandering around trying to find a place to have decent coffee and decided to give it a try, initially drawn in by the pastels de nata on display. No disappointment here, the pastels were just as fast as those you’d eat in Portugal and the coffee was perfect.

Good reasonably priced breakfast. Great coffee and friendly service. Large selection of freshly prepared pastries and clean and bright cafe.

We are regular visitors of Nata and Co so when the new branch opened in Capitol we had to visit. The coffee is lovely and the pastries and cakes are delicious. The staff are very friendly and are always happy to recommend something new and the prices are great. The coconut cake, pastel de nata and the bacon rolls are our favourites . Always clean and tidy. Highly recommend them

Always a pleasure for a swift pick me up coffee and cake. Always super friendly and swift. Even when they are flat out. Had good here also sandwich deal is decent also

Have stopped to have a coffee and Nata many times but never left a review I have bought Nata's from the stand in St Davids shopping centre and also sat in the one near Capitol centre. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the Nata are very nice indeed ( moorish) my partner has tried Nata whilst in Portugal and are just as good as them. So well worth a visit and enjoy

On behalf of my mother and a coach party from Exeter I write this review to praise the helpfulness and great service provided by the staff at Nata. My mother and friends visited twice in one day because of the fresh pastries and the warm welcome they received. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Special thanks to Ana for helping my mother whose memory is not what it was!

Lovely place for both quick snack or a proper lunch meal. Every time that I visit this place I am able to find the taste that I normally expect back home. Highly recommended!

Food, service and place are lovely! Love everytime I come here as it reminds me about Portugal & the nice food there. No complaints at all.Busy or not, service is always excellent!!! Nothing better than to feel home. Love, Ana

On a morning trip to Cardiff, my son from London insisted in visiting this venue for a coffee and a pastry. The freshly made pastries were a delight to sample, so much so we not only only ate here, but took some home for lunch.

We used to love Nata when it started out in the bay and visited regularly. But as it has got more and more popular the prices have rocketed and the seating less and less comfortable, no doubt to get people in and out. Food, coffee and service all good but irritated with the pricing and seating.

We found this bakery/ cafe by chance when visiting Cardiff. The food all looked so tempting and was very reasonably priced. We enjoyed the pastries so much that we called at the Nata bakery in Cardiff Bay too. We hadn't realised the shop had just closed, as we looked in the window, amazingly an assistant opened the door and allowed us to make a purchase. Great service.

We called in having seen the Portuguese tarts in the window.

We had the original Portuguese custard tarts, 1.20 each. Very tasty. Crisp pastry and deep filing. I loved the selection of cakes they have; doughnuts, eclairs, vanilla slices. Very reasonably priced for the size (big!). Wish I could have tried more.

The sweet pastel de natas are delicious and our very favourite. The meal deal is worth it with a soup, toastie and original nata. And they always have interesting Portuguese treats both savoury and sweet to try out.

Nata is probably my favourite to have with coffee and in this coffee shop both the nata and the coffee are excellent and reasonable price Support Nata and Co!

Called in here while waiting for our coach while on a trip from Porthcawl. There is a great variety to choose from that you don't know what to choose. While the cakes and buns look nice we went for the savory option, warm bacon & cheese roll and ham & cheese pastry. There are some nice relaxing chairs & settees. The staff are friendly and pleasant.

This is a coffee shop where the coffee tastes brilliant and the Portuguese tarts are fantastic. I would give it 6/5 if I could.

Dropped in en route to the SWALEC stadium (wanted to get breakfast somewhere) from the train station - a little detour but well worth it.

Nice cafe with very authentic Portuguese food Pastel de nata very good. Maybe not quite like being in Belém but a very good option for coffee and a snack

Welcoming,delicious pastel de nata ,various flavours. Coffee excellent best in city centre. Convienient location based bottom of queen st cardiff ,entrance via queen st or from inside capitol shopping centre. A lovely reminder of beautiful algarve and warm sunnier times.

Great pastries and cakes sold here, really good quality. Excellent Portuguese tarts. I could easily eat 10 in one go. So yum.

I've visited Nata bakery on many occasions, but only now I've got around writing a review. The food is great , especially the pastel de nata (egg custard tarts) and the make a great cup of coffee. The staff are very friendly and my 2 little boys love going there to see the friendly staff. I can highly recommend a visit to this cafe

it was my first time in Cardiff, and I was really suprised to find the Nata & co, just in front of the castle! Craving for some Portuguese treats, I went there for breakfast and lunch! Probably the best "pastel de nata"(Portuguese custard tart) that I had since I moved to Britain! They were still warm, and they have some "twists" to the traditional tart. I also had the "francesinha" sandwich for lunch, really tasty! Service was really friendly. I will return, for sure! Vale a pena visitar, se estiverem com saudades de casa, vão sentir-se em Portugal! Obrigada pelo serviço!

Lovely bakery. Baked fresh and the only time I have Eaton pastel de Natalie tarts outside of Portugal. You must try them when still warm

Seit unseren Urlauben in Portugal und Brasilien sind wir große Pastel de Nata-Fans. Daher stellten wir erfreut fest, dass es in Cardiff gleich mehrere Zweigstellen der portugiesischen Bäckerei "Nata & Co. Bakery" gibt. Das Gebäck war wirklich gut, wenn auch natürlich nicht ganz wie das Original in Lissabon. Aber definitiv zu empfehlen, so dass wir sowohl die Niederlassung am Castle als auch diejenige am Regierungssitz besuchten.

This is the place to go for the best Portuguese cakes and savoury, the staff is friendly and welcoming.

This is a must if you like good coffee and those lovely Portuguese tarts. The coffee was the best I’ve tasted for some time and the traditional Portuguese custard tarts were a great accompaniment would fully recommend!!

Gorgeous tarts! We tried the apple and the lemon but our favourite was the original. We liked the fact that there are big chunks of tart on the counter to try before you buy.

Love the pastries - both sweet and savoury - at Nata & Co.

You know those delicious custard pastries you get on holiday in Portugal? Nata & Co specializes in these pastries, "pasteis de nata" and they are exceptional! Staff are lovely too.

Stayed in Cardiff for four nights and went to cafe six times. Shows how much we enjoyed the coffee there. It can be very hot and humid when busy but lovely and quiet most mornings. Coffee mostly to our taste. Couple of times a different barista prepared the drinks and we were not that keen. However we returned time n time again. Excellent WiFi access.

We came here 3 times on a 4 day visit, perfectly situated opposite the Castle but the enthusiasm of the staff and the delicious cakes were the real reason for the return visits.

As my wife is Portuguese, we visited Nata & Co to try the advertised 'original' Pastel de Nata. We wasted our time and were hugely disappointed.

Um cheirinho de casa com comida deliciosa. E viva os pastéis de nata e as tigeladas. Óptimo café. E outras delícias que só fazem crescer água na boca

Dopo una grande delusione per il pranzo andato malissimo, ci imbattiamo in Nata & Co Bakery che si trova di fronte al Castello di Cardiff.

Stopped here to try their pastries. We were served quickly and the apple pastry we tried was delicious. Will try their coffee on our next visit.

Came here before work everyday for a coffee and their fantastic natas, love love love!! I recommend you take more than one home, youll regret it otherwise!

Fabulous food and coffees, amazing staff !! Really good job ! Really enjoyed! Good price too I suggest to try it .

Como cada vez que vengo a Cardiff voy a esta cafeteria pasteleria portuguesa. El mejor café expresso de Cardiff, eso si, te da para un sorbo. No he probado lo que tienen de salado pero el dulce espectacular: el pastel ruso con una nata montada increible, los pasteles de Belem típicos portugueses, tarta de almendra buenísima. Raciones generosas y buenos precios. Personal muy agradable, de hecho, a mi que ya me conocen me preparan un café con leche largo de café estupendo. Abierto de 7 a 19 h, excepto los domingos que cierran a las 17h. No se puede pedir mas.

Polecam wszystkim odwiedzającym ponieważ jest tam wspaniała atmosfera , wspaniali ludzie i bardzo dobra kuchnia

Excellent food with kind staff. Try the custard tarts they're great! The bread is fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed so much both the breakfast and a service in this place. Everyone is so nice and friendly! Love their pastel de nata. I will be back!

Lovely tarts and I am not being rude about the staff either! It made a great change to try different flavours and all of them were fantastic!
