Head upstairs upon entering the market and make you way past the pet shop or Kelly's records (depending on which end you enter) and slap bang in the middle you'll find the Bull Terrier Café with its panoramic views of this glorious building, its interesting characters and its bloody pigeons. The Bull Terrier Café will do you a lovely pan-fried chicken pesto Panini, no I'm kidding they dish up grub from the greasy spoon pantheon of cooking and they won't shake you down for more than a fiver. Everything comes with chips and a chipped mug of tea. If you've hit the sauce the night before and now find yourself being dragged around town, then cut the ties and head straight here. Yeah it could be cleaner, but it's a greasy spoon in the market y'know? I love this place.

Wally's Kaffeehaus is located upstairs of Wally's Delicatessen and is their restaurant arm of the…read morebusiness. I really think it deserves its own business page separate of the actual shop although the two obviously go hand in hand. ~ Atmosphere: It's just a tiny place. The stairs leading up to the restaurant from Wally's Delicatessen only have room for one person and during busy periods you might need to squeeze past quite a few people. The cafe itself is quite tiny as well but there are plenty of tables available. However, it's not good for large groups mind. ~ Customer Service: Quite good. The food came out promptly and we were served almost immediately despite how busy the cafe was! ~ Food: I came here for lunch so I can't comment on their breakfasts. They do quite a few different varieties of open sandwiches that all sounds very appetising. Since it was around Christmas-time, they also had a seasonal turkey, cranberry, and stuffing sandwich on offer. However, my partner and I opted for a sharing platter, the Wurst & Kase Aufschnitt for £15.50 (for 2 people to share). On the platter was an assortment of continental sausages, hams, soft and hard cheese, balsamic onions, feta stuffed red peppers, olives, and wholemeal bread and cheese biscuits. It was all very lovely and I especially enjoyed those feta stuffed red peppers! Even though my partner and I are normally big eaters, the platter was more than enough for the both of us anyway. --- I'd definitely come back to Wally's not just to browse their amazing shop downstairs, but their Kaffeehaus is also amazing. I highly recommend not missing out on this one!

FINALLY managed to make it to New York Deli after living in Cardiff for years. I'm an American and…read morealways had it in the back of my mind that I needed to visit a little slice of America in Cardiff. I had the "New York". Unfortunately, when I went they ran out of hoagies so I had to get it in a bagel but it was packed to the BRIM. Although when you look at the prices you might grimace at it seeming expensive, because of the generous portions the prices are well worth it. This is more than just a simple sandwich people!!! 4 stars because the bagel itself was just alright but the fillings were delicious. However, I do have it in my mind that I have to come back and try some of their hoagies. Don't skip over this place! Overstuffing your face is what the good ol' USA is all about!

Yet I'm pretty sure that when faced with the deli delights, like myself - you would struggle and ask for a takeaway. TIP: Try and get your hands on a menu prior to visiting as when faced with all the options and ingredients you're likely to panic pick! Rookie's Guide: Choose your bread, Choose your spread, Choose your fillings, Choose your Salad! On my last visit I had the Reuben: Salt Beef, Swiss Cheese, Coleslaw with the addition of Jalapenos - £3.90. *please take moment to appreciate the magnitude of the meat to bread ratio* Delicious yet ridiculously filling - The New York Deli is open 7 days a week. They slice ALL their meats and cheese daily, support local charities AND use local suppliers for just about everything. They even deliver if you order before 10am!

Cardiff is well known for many things - but you ask the locals and you ask a tourist what these…read morethings are and you will get completely different answers. You ask any local and they will tell you there is nothing more imbedded in local folklore than the legend of the CLARKSIES PIE. To visit Cardiff and not try a Clark pie is like going to Rome and not eating Pizza. This is how their website describe their large pie, "Oval shape vegetable and beef filling in a gravy base contained within a substantial shortcrust pastry". Unfortunately mere text cannot convey the carnival of savory extravagance that kicks off in your mouth as soon as you bite into the substantial shortcrust pastry - so all I can say is try one! There are friends of mine who will not eat any other type of pie from a Cardiff chip shop and frankly they are offended if you try to palm them off with anything other than a CLARKSIES!

I am not a big fan of pies or pasties, but I feel this shop deserves a review because it's a bit of…read moreCardiff history. The now-famous Clark's Pies originate in Cardiff, and can also be found widely in Bristol where one of the sons moved to branch out in the late 1920s. This shop in Canton isn't the earliest Clark's outlet - the very first one opened in Llanmaes Street in the Grangetown area, closing for a while during World War II due to wartime meat rationing. This Canton branch opened in the 1930s, however, so it's been going for a long, long time. The pastry is so thick on a Clark's pie that it doesn't even need a foil tray - which gives you some idea how substantial they are! The precise recipe used for the pie filling remains a closely guarded secret but it's mainly made up of beef, potatoes and other vegetables, and gravy. Pie lovers should definitely seek out this shop if they're in Cardiff!

Once you find a shop like this you realise you've been missing out for years. I love Italy and all…read morethings Italian so this deli is right up my street. Some work colleagues told me about and i've been going back for special occasions ever since. They have a great selection of meats and the most gorgeous cheeses including yummy Welsh varieties as well as traditional Italian. OH and the freshly made cakes and bread, its just too good. Andre will helpfully suggest how to make the most of the ingredients and give you little tasters. It really does remind me of being back in Italy everytime I go.

I've been coming her for over 5 years now, this is my local Coffee Shop…read more What sets it apart from the other nearby Cafes is it's abundance of external seating. Making it one of the few central Cafes where you can sit outside in nice weather and not be surrounded by booze or loud music like most of the Seafront venues. The staff are very friendly and provide an excellent service. Even going so far as to go across the street to source ingredients for what you order if they have run out. And they bring the order to your table, meaning you don't have to stand around waiting for your drink and then carry a heavy tray through the Cafe (Like a certain nearby major chain...) The food here is quite expensive, but the reasonable price of the Coffee makes up for that. The cups are large and they don't hold back on how much Coffee you get for your money. They offer a large range of Food, Drinks and Cakes. Also offering a 'specials' menu on juices and smoothies on occasion. I'm not a fan of those myself but my partner enjoys them and is impressed on their variety. Their opening times can vary throughout the year, I am never too sure on when they officially open or close. Sometimes they've closed at 5 and sometimes I've seen them close at 3:30. This may be dependant on weather, time of year or just how much custom there is. I only wish they would stay open a little later as I find myself having to relocate across the street when they close as I enjoy a late afternoon Coffee. Overall I would recommend Coco's over the other Coffee shops in the area, they provide a personal service and great drinks for a very reasonable price.

I'm amazed there's only one review of this place as it's a little treasure…read more It's not a Greggs, so that's a great start. it's an all too rare, independent bakers in Cardiff, selling good quality, home made, fresh food without shedloads of preservatives. You can get pies, pasties, quiches, pizzas and wonderful cakes. My favourite is an apple cake thing which is lovely. Because they're a small concern it often depends what time of day you go as to what's left. The main reason I go in is because they make they're own bread. Importantly they don't just make bread from wheat but also from spelt. Quite a few people are gluten intolerant so spelt is a good alternative. If I'm not mistaken spelt is native to the UK and was the flour of choice before cheap wheat from the Commonwealth became common. So with transport costs high and a move towards food sourced locally spelt is likely to become an important part of our diet in the future. Get down there and give it a try but it does sell out quickly.
