Vegetarian · Cardiff
Tucked into Morgan Arcade, this little vegetarian and vegan cafe is an easy stop with children — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu, and both indoor and outdoor seating, with plenty of seats and plugs if you need to charge a phone while someone finishes their cake. Service is generally quick, which helps when patience runs short, and there are usually plenty of staff on the floor. The soups are the thing to order — the spicy sweet potato and coconut with fresh crusty bread gets particular praise — alongside generous, filling salad bowls, a Mediterranean veg pie, vegan sausage rolls and hot breakfasts with eggs. Two honest caveats: it isn't the cheapest lunch in Cardiff for what you get, and hot food can run out well before closing, so go earlier rather than later.
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.
Bright Morgan Arcade brunch spot with roomy tables, an unnoticed upstairs and cooked-to-order breakfasts — busy at weekends, calmest early.
A laid-back Cardiff coffee and donut shop with vegan options, easy for families wanting a sweet treat in the city.
Generous, inventive baguettes around £7 in Morgan Arcade — takeaway only, with a fast-moving queue and Bute Park nearby for eating outside.
