It is a while since we last visited this cafe and whilst the pleasant decor and calm atmosphere were the same, the staffing and kitchen area seemed to have changed. The coffee was as good as ever but the cakes and pastries on offer were disappointing with barely a nod towards Austria. We ordered the drinks in German as per the menu but the woman serving us had no idea what we were saying. The lunch menu looked much the same as before but the trays of food in the chiller cabinet did not look very appetising. We did not feel inspired to return for lunch.

This used to be our favourite coffee house, sadly gone down hill. Plenty of staff, all the gear, no idea. Very slow service, quality of food poor, such a shame. Excellent competition a few doors down!

Just popped into this interesting Viennese-type café above the iconic Wally’s delicatessen in Royal arcade, Cardiff. Very friendly young girls serving and making a delicious selection of salads, salami and sausage dishes and sandwiches, and all sorts of other mouthwatering delicacies. I was particularly pleased with the availability of gluten-free bread, crackers, and even some sausages, for those who are coeliac or gluten sensitive, like me. This is definitely my new good find, and can’t understand why I haven’t tried it before, as I have shopped in their wonderful famous delicatessen below many, many times. And they have a top hygiene rating from the council health inspectors.

What a lovely hidden gem! We were looking for somewhere for coffee and cake that wasn’t a bar. Not easy in Cardiff. Walking through the arcade we found this hidden gem . The plum cake and the apple cake were very nice indeed. The coffee was excellent and the tea came in its own pot, along with 2 glasses of water that we thought was a lovely thoughtful touch. Usually you have to ask. Only downside is queuing for the loo but a small price to pay for such a delicious tea break! Would thoroughly recommend. One thing to note it’s upstairs and the loo is downstairs not sure about disabled access as we didn’t need it so you may need to check if you do.

Found this little shop last year when we came to visit Cardiff, but unfortunately there restaurant was closed due to Covid. But this year it was open so we went upstairs to the small restaurant. We both had a hot chocolate which was very good, hubby even had a mince pie unfortunately this wasn’t German, as they don’t eat mince pies but the rest of there cake’s etc were indeed based on German food. The actual shop has lots of different types of food that are generally from Germany Austria and Belgium, and even further afield.

A day trip to Cardiff found us fancying a fairly light lunch. We were simply wandering and found this place. What an amazing find. To begin with, the staff were incredibly friendly. We were planning on something quite simple each but my partner saw the sharing platters. We opted for the meat and cheese platter and were presented with a sizeable collection of assorted cold meats and cheeses, with olives and onions pickled in balsamic vinegar. Plenty of bread and crackers too. Everything was just delicious and we left, having ended up buying may of the ingredients in the deli itself downstairs. A truly brilliant surprise, finding an Austrian kaffehaus in Cardiff, but what an awesome place it is.

Really nice artisan place to go and absolutely unique with quality produce used. Amazing that you could purchase the foods from the coffee shop in the shop below to take a little piece of it away with you. The staff were friendly and very tentative and could not do enough for us when we were there. The coffee was amazing quick to be brought to the table. The food was amazing and delicious with a wide selection to meet everyone's need. It was fresh and tasty and plenty of it and didnt leave you feeling like you could eat another one but enough that you didnt feel overly full. Would highly recommend for anyone to try and would definitely visit again without a second thought.

Nothing average about the quality here or the service; both excellent & prices are good as well. The coffee is excellent & so nice having proper table service. I am saying 'average' only because of the chairs - since I started going here I have found them uncomfortable, I don't know if this was intended to stop students sitting there all day, doing their homework but it lets the otherwise wonderful place down.

Downstairs in Wally’s emporium is a treasure trove of European food - it is really special just before Xmas. Upstairs is the Kaffeehaus. I love this place - the atmosphere is relaxed, gentle classical music in the background, no shouting between staff, a place where you can still have a conversation or browse a newspaper. No WiFi yet although you can log in to the White Stuff WiFi for a free hour.

This is a real gem of a place & was brought here for lunch by friends on Sunday. It is a spacious cafe upstairs above Wally's Deli. They have an extensive breakfast and lunch menu all with an Austrian and German influence. The open sandwiches are amazing - heaving with cold cuts and come with a side of potato salad. I had a frankfurter and frikadellen in a pretzel roll (I asked if they could substitute the frankfurter with kasewurst and that was no problem) - this came with sauerkraut and German mustard and was lovely. There is an extensive drinks menu and the coffee is great - treat yourself to a Mozart (double espresso - whipped cream and brandy)! The service is attentive and quick and the atmosphere is just right of a light lunch with friends! Will be back!

Who can resist their cakes?Their coffee selection is great (Einspänner is a perfect choice) and the cakes are delicious (most of them, traditional German and Austrian). The service is perfect, efficient and really friendly.

We perched on their bar stools until a table became available. After about 10 minutes we were sat in comfort, albeit in front of the café entrance which is a bit draughty. Both of us chose soup of the day which was beef goulash, with a brie roll. Delicious, although my soup had little beef in it. Think my hubby had my share!

We also had a cheese and meat platter to share which was so scrummy.The coffees are the nicest we've had in South Wales so creamy and rich. My partner also indulged in a pecan pie which was delicious.Amazing friendly service with excellent food,and also came away with a bag full of goodies from the shop below.Will definitely be visiting again soon to sample more yummy treats

Stopped for a quick coffee and couldn't resist the apple strudel. Lovely coffee, pleasant atmosphere and great friendly service. Delicatessen downstairs is fantastic too, never seen a better stocked deli anywhere.

Another delightful, delicious delicatessen inspired light lunch, we had the croissant specials, mine with brie, rocket and onion chutney, my wife the turkey and avacado. They were both superb and as usual the staff were welcoming and attentive. Superb.

Often very busy, we managed to get 2 seats (high ones), the staff are very friendly and the coffee was excellent. First time to get a seat (it was Saturday afternoon) and lots of people tucking into open style sandwiches, good veggie choices too. We needed a sweet fix so I had the sachertorte and my husband had a huge gluten free chocolate cake. Bit pricey but not something you have everyday (I'd be 25 stone!). Well worth for a treat.

A (very) small café upstairs in a deli. The food has a German/Austrian influence and great for light lunches. The breakfast menu also looked lovely. Many different types of coffee and tea were also available. The café is very small and you have to wait to be seated so sometimes the queue stretch down the stairs but the wait isn't normally that long as the service is very quick. Thoroughly recommend the mix sausage platter!. They also offer a 10% discount for students.

In need of a short break we passed Wally's wonderful delicatessen and were drawn in by the amazing range of foods on sale, from fresh meats and cheeses, to fresh ice cream and chocolates. In addition upstairs is a coffee house (Kaffeehaus) offering a wide range of teas and coffees with a German influence. The fresh coffee was delicious, though the decaffeinated alternative is a little disappointing. Service is excellent and it's well worth a visit.

Met up with some friends for a late lunch - the sandwiches all looked amazing, but I had the special "tapas plate" with chorizo, anchovies, cheese, olives etc. This was extremely nice, and I had a large pot of camomile tea to go with it all.A relaxed meal with some really interesting and different meal choices.

We went here on a Sunday for lunch, had an amazing coffee (Grozzer Brauner, a double espresso with a dash of milk). Then we both had a frankenfurter, which was amazing, was very large and delicious, with curry ketchup and mustard in a pretzel roll.We then had another coffee, because they were so good.Absolutely recommend for lunch, it's cheaper than subway or McDonald's if you just have the frankenfurter!

While in Cardiff, I discovered the many many arcades (covered venues) around the city. They come in handy if you take into consideration it rained almost too oftenly during my visit.Wallys is an old deli with a coffehouse on top. You can enjoy your senses with the many products they have in the ground floor and then enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the floor above.I had an assorted platter of sausages, ham and cheese. The selection was good, but the bread (which they're proud of) was average. In my humble opinion a better bread could enhance the experience.The service was also ok, they seemed to be very kind with local old people. But perhaps since I was young I wasn't within their target market.

Excellent wine and food pairing with great service. This small restaurant has a coffee shop attached. Their food is always based on fresh local ingredients and is prepared and served in a fresh contemporary style. The black pudding fried meatballs were fantastic and the scallops were large and well sauced

Italian restaurant with a more refined offer. Normally a la carte but forcing sometimes a 2 or 3 courses menu. Kind service, slow pace.

I popped in here last weekend to pick up some food for Christmas. The shop itself is lovely, but while standing near the cheese counter the older man manning the counter came up behind me and put both hands on my shoulders and physically moved me out of his way. It's absolutely unnecessary to touch a customer like that, simply saying "excuse me" would have been better. When I confronted him and told him not to touch me, he shrugged and rolled his eyes at me. Such a shame that one staff member has completely ruined my experience, because everyone else was wonderful and the selection of food and drink in the shop is great.
