I started going to Coffee#1 back in 2010. I used to go to Starbucks(Newport) but the service was…read morejust terrible. I wasn't expecting much from Coffee#1, but I was pleasantly surprised. The drinks are always made perfect and the service is incredible. Within the second time of going there, the staff had already remembered me and were very welcoming. Their food is also good quality(for a coffee shop). The reason why im giving it four stars and not five, is there's always the same annoying people outside all day, everyday. They were friends with the staff so, of course, they have first digs on the outside seating. They don't let anybody sit down and will not move for nobody. I guess that kind of makes a dent on the business for people who want to sit outside.

If you are looking for a restaurant at lunchtime that offers a quick service with some top quality…read morefood then I suggest you try Pillars. 'Pillars' is an underground restaurant that has a wide variety choice of food. They rang from salads to sandwiches to hot meals. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is delightful and makes you leave with the idea of returning again. I have been to 'Pillars' many times because when I walk in there I know that I will get excellent quality food for a very reasonable price. When you first enter you can see all those glorious looking foods that look so exotic they scare me. So I stick to what I know and go for the hot meals. They are very basic like the bog standard Fish and Chips or Curry and chips. You are overwhelmed by the smells they give off that you will want to try everything they offer. The desserts look so edible that you want to just buy them all and take them home whilst watching a sad film. It costs around £7 per person but depending on what you buy they do have offers of 2 meals for £5 and offer a children's menu. This underground restaurant is a little gem in Cardiff and is constantly busy so make sure you get there early enough to get a table. Once you try their foods you will definitely want to go back there again.

This is an old-style lunchtime 'restaurant' down some stairs just off Queen Street (near Dominions…read moreArcade), and despite being a rather bizarre and tired-looking place it's often very busy - usually with lots of older people, weary shoppers, and families taking advantage of the cheap children's meals. You have to order your food at the hot or cold counter, then go on to pay at the till, then take a seat. The food is fairly standard - nothing exceptionally interesting, but plenty of choice of both hot and cold options such as salads, lasagne, fish and chips, jacket potatoes, soup and so on. Portions are filling and the prices are very reasonable. Make sure you know what you want before you reach the staff waiting to dish up behind the counter, though - otherwise they get impatient and make you feel like a bit of a nuisance.

We stopped in for gelato, and Kaspa's definitely fit the bill. Absolutely delicious! We appreciated…read morethe artistry! What a nice touch!

Stopped in here for dessert after visiting some bars in the area.  They offer sundaes, waffles,…read morecrepes,  shakes, and smoothies.  A lot of options.  I counted: 18 waffle options 12 crepe options 23 sundae options. I got a sundae loaded with chocolate and it was good.  Service was good. They are open late.  Located in the city center with bars and shops nearby, the clientele was pretty eclectic the night I stopped in.  Atmosphere is nice and decor is unique. Well worth a stop for dessert.

Was supposed to go to another restaurant, but that one was full so decided to come to Brava and was…read morenot disappointed at all. By the way, they take Covid measures very seriously here which is a nice change from London. I ordered their classic Welsh Breakfast (I believe it is called "Meaty") and it came with an assortment of items like a classic English breakfast. All the items were very okay but I really liked the bacon though which had a bit of a fattiness to it and was pretty thick cut. I will say that that is probably the only thing on the plate with natural flavor so just be mindful of that so you can eat it with everything. Overall, not a bad meal in Cardiff and +1 for the cheap prices. I think I'm just not a huge English breakfast person but if you are, you will probably love this cute little place.

Positives: I have…read morebeen to Brava twice for full Welsh breakfast - which was great - properly cooked very tasty - lovely sausages. I also went there for an evening meal - I had lamb shank - again it was lovely - very succulent and had a nice glass (es) of wine too. The evening is less busy and the staff had more time to be friendly. Negatives: Breakfast time is very busy and I felt very cramped and rushed. I didn't feel relaxed and it got on my nerves. It's a little on the pricey side but hey this is Pontcanna - its the price you pay for trendy town. Overall - go there if you want a good evening meal and breakfast but expect it to be full and not as cheap as a greasy spoon in Canton.

Right, so sometimes you are writing reviews and you think 'That's it, there is nowhere else that I…read morecould possibly review. What am I going to do?' And then you remember that place that you haven't been to in so long, that you really liked all the way back when. This is one of those places (I hope no one's coming to come along and tell me that it's shut now because I really want to visit it again). Let me see if I can remember to what it was like... Oh, yes, it was lovely. The staff were absolutely fantastic, really friendly and up for a little bit of banter. The atmosphere was great, nice and relaxed but not completely slobbish. Oh, I just hope it hasn't changed.

Based in Albany Road, with a green sign covering the top of the cafe. Relax and enjoy this food and…read moredrink with friends and family a nifty little place with an outside eating area at the back. Tasty and delicious food to fill up your stomachs and addictive cravings. I've had a creamy, bubbly milkshake and free, fresh tap water before. They do wonderful toasty sandwiches and Panini's. They also do lovely chocolate cakes; Ice Cream, cheesecakes and carrot cakes. Often under £10's each. It can get very busy sometimes, but they are pretty quick with their waitressing skills. It is a cosy cafe, perfect for lunch or afternoon tea. The staff are friendly enough and quick to give you what you wish. I love going there, as it is a place full of tranquillity atmosphere suitable for all adults and maybe for some children. It is not really a wheel chair, or a baby pushchair accessible place.

The cafe is situated right in the town centre so its ideal for a relaxing sit down when you have been shopping all day!! They have a good menu with plenty of choice,not just baguettes but jacket potatoes,soup,paninis,pasta dishes and freshly made sandwiches.Whilst sat at your table you can see a vast range of very tempting homemade cakes,pastries,fresh cream tarts,banoffee pie etc and if that did not take your fancy they also have real Italian ice cream in mouthwatering flavours.Cafe Venetian is definitely the best place to eat in Cwmbran because they serve great food and the service is first class.

Definitely NEVER going to this place again. The man who served us (I think the owner?) was abrupt…read morein taking our order, to the point of impatience. Then we were asked to take a seat and told he'd bring it over to us, so we chose the mezzanine area (a raised area adjoining the hot drink preparation area). All the tables were so dirty we had to use a wet wipe to clean the table (we would have walked out at this point, but we'd already paid for our drinks). Then, when our order was called, instead of being served at our table as we'd been told, our hot coffee was lifted on a tray, over a high wall that separated the kitchen area - EXTREMELY dangerous as (1) there were tables directly below it - thankfully the little girl who'd been there 5 minutes before had left (2) I'd ordered a latte, which came in a tall glass... It is pure luck that the drink didn't topple over ....(and result in boiling hot coffee going all over me). Avoid it. Serious health and safety issues.
