Café · Cardiff
A short stroll from UHW, this neighbourhood spot leans on its outdoor seating — there's genuinely more room outside than in, which is the making of it on a dry day when you've a buggy and a toddler who won't sit still. Inside is tighter and gets a proper buzz at brunch, so expect noise. Breakfasts are hearty, the jacket potatoes and sandwiches do the job, and the bakery counter is the draw: one lemon drizzle is remembered as "deliciously moist and tangy". Kids' menu and high chairs are there. Two honest snags — service can be slow at busy times, with waits to be served and tables left uncleared, and the bill adds up faster than you'd think for a café. Vegan savoury options are thin. Go mid-morning, sit outside, keep it to coffee and cake.
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.
