We stopped here after staying over in Cardiff after the Taylor Swift concert as we needed food before our drive home! Great menu and an excellent full breakfast with loads of different options for breakfast/lunch/brunch. Although I'm not veggie, I did notice there was a lot of choice for vegetarians. The staff were really friendly and they also welcome dogs although there weren't any there when we were. There's seating out front, inside or out the back and I should also say the coffee was excellent. As well as having a meal in, we got a smoothie and coffee to go cos the choice was just too much! Highly recommended and it was really nice to find an independent business that had great food and service for very reasonable prices! We will visit again and recommend to family and friends who visit...

Waited 30 minutes for brunch, weren't told there was a wait, but also no food was coming out, and the tables weren't being cleared, so not sure why anyone was waiting? Had to chase for an update on the food, and then it came out immediately. Corned beef Hash was more COLD corned beed Mush, didn't eat it, or give the feedback because not at one point, even when we settled the bill, were we asked how anything was. Other half ordered scrambled eggs and smoked salmon- eggs were burnt bits of fried egg as though scraped from a frying pan- didnt at all resemble scrambled eggs. The tables around us all needed clearing, staff didn't seem to notice any customers after taking orders- first time trying this place, won't return. Such a shame as was a treat for us not something we can afford to do...

Horrible experience/customer service.

After our food arrive, we realised that some extras we ordered never came. We politely raised our hand to get the attention of a staff member, once we confirmed the missing order, a different member of staff stormed over to our table and rudely accused us of “clicking our fingers” to get the attention of the staff member before quickly walking away instead of calmly asking us what happened.

After this, the missing order of food was brought to us, still missing an order of hash browns.

As someone who has worked in hospitality previously, the way the staff handled this situation was completely incorrect and soured the experience.

Safe to say this is not a place...

As local greasy spoons go, this is a cut above the rest. I used to live above this row of shops, and pontcanna is a cool place to visit let alone live, so I was blessed. I visited once or twice a week for a solid year, I'd always park my classic Jaguars opposite or to the side of their shop. Sitting and watching the world go by, enjoying some very decent breakfasts and brunches, there's not many better corner spots in cardiff to enjoy such a environment.. It's pricey, but it's in keeping with other simular establishments. Well worth a visit. I still go back every so often with friends, as pictured. As always, bacon well done, and please make sure my beans are HOT 😏 Love. G

Close to 5 stars! Great prices, great staff, great food. Great varied menu with plenty of options for vegetarians. Prices very very reasonable. Warm welcome indeed. Seating a little cramped inside but worth it. Plenty of accessible seating outside or for those with dogs. Table service a nice touch. Coffee great and portion sizes great. I personally found it a little too loud in there but after a rowdy table left it was better. Toilets spotless but had to walk through staff area to get to them. Parking impossible but worth the 20 minutes of looking for a space!
