Add some locally sourced organic food, and a proprietor that caters for dietary requirements AND an art gallery and you'll get close to Annie's Tea Rooms. Probably the best Banoffee Pie I've ever tasted, not to mention the salmon and pasta; oh and the ice cream. This a place where you can wake up and smell the coffee and STILL be in the same place!

The sandwiches and pastries were lovely. A proper afternoon tea in the UK!

Located a 100 yards North from the entrance of Castell Coch. This forest hideaway serves a range of hot and cold SNACKS. *Caps necessary to ensure you don't expect poached eggs and hollandaise sauce (I was hungover and had a craving). Opt to sit inside near an open fire or outside where there is an abundance of plants and wildlife - there's even a neighbourhood Peacock! We had toast for two, coffee and a tea - served by their friendly staff which cost only a few pound. Next time as apposed to driving straight there I would choose to take on the Taff Trail ending at the Forest Tea Rooms as its apparent most use it as a post cycle / long walk reward.

It was the pebbledash equivalent of finding an oasis in the dessert, a quaint but spacious tearoom offering a wide range of teas, coffees, ice-creams and lunches. As we sat there sipping our perfectly foamed lattes and having a chat with the owners we felt quite excited to have discovered this place that had remained unknown to us until we had stumbled upon it. The melodic, baritone voice of Johnny Cash made its way from the juke box into the corner and combined with the vintage decor gave us a sense of nostalgia. We decided to make a 'thing' of it and ordered some food, which arrived quickly and needless to say was a generous portion. I had noted that the kitchen appeared to be quite small and for two sizeable meals complete with a decorative garnish and all of the sides to come from it must have been quite a chore. I know I would have struggled. The steak was cooked to perfection, I'm not that well educated in steak, I think medium rare is my favorite, I don't really know. All I know is that this one was lovely and I did observe a couple (who had also ordered steaks, in fact the chap had TWO!) taking photos of their meals to send to their friends. When it comes to eating out I am quite a skinflint, it's more often a case of limited funds but if I had the choice of The Harvester or a fancy-dancy restaurant I would probably go with the former unless someone else was paying. Like I said, I'm not a pro when it comes to steaks but I tend to avoid ordering them because I find that they can be hit or miss depending on the chef's idea of what medium-rare is. I know that if I go to The Harvester I'm going to order the BBQ ribs before I even get hold of a menu because they're delicious every time. If I went to a restaurant where I'd need a small mortgage for a started then I'd be doubly disappointed if the meal wasn't up to standard. Anyway, back on track - In conclusion we found Memory Lane to be very enjoyable, the staff were lovely, the setting was lovely. Great food and inarguably good prices. The only issue that I could see (although it didn't affect me) was that they did not serve alcohol. The staff did point out that there is a shop directly opposite where you can buy drink to have with your meal. They did say that they are looking to start doing alcoholic drinks, so perhaps that's sorted now.

The service was very slow and it seemed like they needed some more more employees but it is what it is. I would go back a million times! I love the ambience and the lighting was wonderful.

I paid extra for marshmallows, and when my hot chocolate came it was without the little mountain of tiny marshmallows I was expecting. I was still fairly new to Cardiff at the time, and a little shy, so I sat quietly and hoped that perhaps they had sunk to the bottom and I'd find them as I started drinking. Sadly, however, no marshmallows were to be found, and then it was too late to do anything about it. This aside, Waterloo Gardens Teahouse is a lovely little shop, in the quiet area of Penylan with a nice selection of drinks and cakes, and comfy sofas. The coffee is fair-trade, there is a wide variety of tea, and they change the art on the walls regularly, exhibiting a different artist each month, which is a nice touch. Just make sure they give you the marshmallows you're paying for.

Was lucky to get a table for five inside as the weather was too cold for eating outside. This tearoom definitely looks the part, as well as having a solid selection of different teas and a full food menu. Opted for the "Luxury Bath Bun Tea" (£7.50), which includes the aforementioned Bath bun, clotted cream, strawberry preserve, and a choice of tea. The Bath bun is large and fluffy, topped with sugar crystals and raisins. Loved the rich clotted cream and sweet strawberry preserve - using the entire allotment to finish the meal. For the tea, selected the Assam version - a supposed malty, dark mahogany flavor that may have been too subtle for me. Only one person manning the room, yet was able to get our items quickly. They do in fact take credit card, so a fine spot to whittle away time.

But it's mainly because I can think of few greater pleasures than a cup of tea and a piece of cake. The cake here is just brilliant. There's something about eating cake in a church, surrounded by elderly people, being a little bit cold because - let's face it - churches are always a little bit cold. You can sit outside in these tea rooms, which I would have loved to do because the seats are right next to a little bit of greenery. The flowers are all slowly starting to come out and it smells divine. Unfortunately, though, it was raining today. Standard.

Being a day unlike today (My hair has been turned into an afro and I'm freezing.) We saw that St. Johns church had a tea room. It's an impressive setting inside the church, but since it was a rare warm(ish) day we sat outside. Tea and cakes are nice and cheap here, I didn't have any cake but the tea hit the spot! This is a place for your more mature visitor and is brilliantly relaxing.
