Café · Cardiff
A small corner spot in Cardiff that families keep coming back to, mostly for the coffee — flat whites made properly, matcha that isn't drowned in syrup, and bags of beans to take home. Breakfast is the thing to come for: scrambled eggs on sourdough with chilli flakes and basil oil, and cakes worth the detour (the Biscoff banana one has a following). Food arrives fairly quickly, which matters when someone's losing patience. The staff are genuinely warm and happy to explain what they're pouring. Two honest snags: it's tight inside, so the seating can feel squishy with a buggy and a high chair, and there's only one toilet, which gets awkward when it's busy. Outdoor seating helps on a dry day. A kids' menu, vegan options and free still water round it out.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Striking Italian room with roomy back booths, high chairs and a kids' menu — great burrata, but the music is loud and service uneven.
Lively Cardiff street-food Indian with murals, kids' menu and high chairs — order small plates and poppadoms first, as food can be slow.
