I had try 3 different croissants and the crème brûlée hits different. All the other croissants were good and tasty but I like the crème brûlée most. Talking about the service, the lady who serve me was amazing. She is so lovely and warm to approach. Definitely makes up your day.

You can completely avoid this place. Terrible experience: the bread was extremely hard, I’m sure it was already a day or even days old. They shouldn’t sell stale bread without telling customers beforehand. £5 for hard, old bread is unacceptable.

Would give this Cafe 6 stars if I could. Coffee and pastries were top tier and the interior is lovely. Coffees were served in beautiful ceramics and delivered right to our table. Will be on but Cardiff recommendation list.

Great speciality coffee in nice mugs and very good croissants I almost tried every type of croissant The crême brüle one is definitely something to try if you have good apetite or to share with someone.. it is filling The mozzerella danish is my fav for now, just please make more of them 🫣 May I suggest making cheese croiassant or other savoury fillings .. without ham

Lovely little bakery cafe in high street arcade. Small shop area and some outside seating. More suited for takeout. Great selection of delicious pastries, breads, savoury snacks and coffee/drinks. Recommend the delicious creme brulee croissant! Service was friendly and pleasant. It had a constant line of customers which says it all. Really nice shop with lovely bakes although I wish it had more seating.
