Dessert · Cardiff
A city-centre stop for when the afternoon needs rescuing with something sweet — and one that's set up for children, with a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and a few tables outside. The sticky toffee pudding gets the loudest praise, along with the fudge cake, the Biscoff milkshake and a fruit sundae that arrives looking properly made rather than thrown together. Vegan options are on the menu too, so a mixed group is easy to feed. The team are the reason people come back: warm, quick, and known for remembering regulars' orders, which counts for a lot when you've got a tired toddler in tow. Desserts here are a treat rather than a cheap round, and being central it can fill up in the evenings — an earlier visit is usually the calmer one.
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.
Step-free city-centre coffee spot with a fireplace snug at the back, great coffee and cakes — but tables are tight and it gets noisy.
