Café gift shop in Cardiff

“Very nice breakfast, but there drinking chocolate is second to none, friendly staff very helpful would have given a 5* only because of I slice of bacon prefer 2 and have one egg and not two but it's just my preference.”

“Lovely atmnosphere, super friendly staff. Coffee and breakfast was so good, the best I've had in a long time. Good value for money. Will definitely be going back.”

“So it turns out that there’s more than one of these cafes and this one is great too. Location is fantastic on the corner of Victoria Park and the corner position is ideal for catching some sun on a nice day. Food and coffee is excellent with the savoury Welsh cakes being a signature option here and at the Roath location. Really friendly staff - shout out to Robin for a lovely conversation with my breakfast. They also had posters up for Dirty Gnocchi doing evening food there, so we will definitely be back for that. Unexpected in this location but definitely recommended. There’s also parking outside, which is at a premium in this area.”

“Great coffee shop, serving lovely coffee. Friendly staff and an even friendlier dog (Think his name was Ted) giving a great welcome.”

“I had a couple of coffees and an almond croissant, and everything was delicious. I was served by a young guy in glasses who kindly explained the coffee beans and provided service with a smile. I would recommend.”

“Held my wife's funeral there on Tuesday 15th June 2021 With good social distancing we had 68 invited people attend”

“Since costa on albany road closed I have been on the odd occasion popping into Coffee#1 across the road and Its such a cozy and welcoming coffee shop, Theres a lovely girl with brown hair and glasses and a tallish man with brown hair too (Didn’t get to catch her name) I spoke to both were so helpful and wonderful and the girl who took my order was cheerful and always had a smile on her face, She was really helpful and told be about their seasonal beans (although i did opt for the regular one) She even brought the drink over to me which was an amazing tasting coffee! and has a little chat before going back to work. If anyone is in the area I really do recommend coming here as the staff are really friendly and helpful and the environment is overall really welcoming!”

“Excellent experience for our start to the day, we enjoyed the porridge and granola a lovely coffee and atmosphere”

“Very unique colorful natural looking garden, coffee was great overall peacefull atmosphere with a flowing river nearby”

“Stunning grounds around Insole Court and the beautiful gardens. Nice picnic table area or rear court yard at the back of the cafe. Veg and vegan available, if needed as well as all the usual coffee shop fare. Lovely staff in gorgeous grounds”

“quick wait and nice ice cream! variety of flavours. (the image is a tub with a bueno and a salted caramel scoop)”

“Stayed over 1 night as visiting Cwmbran. Lovely double bedroom Coffee/hot chocolate and tea available. Bathroom to a standard. If you add breakfast, dining area is very good. Only let down was that you had to have waitress service for hot drinks and cups were very small. Maybe provide a larger cup !!! Self service on break buffet. Cold drinks , juices, fruit, toast and jam available. It is best to ask for veggie sausages if you are veggie before breakfast starts, as not cooked in buffet selection.”

“Best coffee ever , best brand for me . enjoying in coffee and caramel waffles”

“I always look forward to visiting Costa, and a big reason is the incredible staff. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with genuine smiles and friendly energy that immediately makes the atmosphere feel welcoming. The team works efficiently while still taking the time to be attentive, patient, and personable. My order is always prepared perfectly, and even during busy times, the staff remain calm, professional, and kind. Their consistency, enthusiasm, and attention to detail truly elevate the whole experience. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. Whether it’s remembering regular customers, recommending something new, or just brightening the day with great service, the staff here go above and beyond. Costa is lucky to have such an outstanding team! Highly recommended—exceptional service every visit.”

“Ordered the chorizo dish… was so tasty was a little too spicy for my hungover self but that’s my own fault for ordering it. Would have 100% enjoyed this dish had I not been super hungover but was still one of the best things I’ve tasted. The service was SUPER good and everything was given quickly. Decently priced.”

“Cosy store in cosy location. Feels very friendly. However, it seems there's a slight problem with management. I picked up a tub of yoghurt and it spilled all over me.. it was open!! Also, in the big water section, there were no multi pack of normal water, only individual bottles.”
