I frequent here regularly after work as I work nearby. Staff friendly, good spacing between seats, delicious coffee and the food is very decent. I now consider this my local.

My dog Scooby was kind of a rescue and he was extremely nervous, but bribes with awesome staff and puppachinos totally transformed him. I am extremely appreciative times a million million.

We hired the venue for a family party. The staff were very friendly and helpful! The food was also nice. The only thing they are missing is a wider variety of alcoholic drinks.

Nice spot to grab breakfast or lunch on your way into Cardiff Bay. I stopped by around 9am on a weekday and it was very busy, which meant there was a slightly longer wait time than I anticipated. Staff is very friendly and working hard to meet the demand, but don't expect the speed that you would for takeaway at a Pret or Costa. The quality of the food makes up for the longer wait time in my opinion - and if you have time to sit in the atmosphere inside the cafe is lovely and colorful.You can expect to pay between £7-10 for a food item and coffee for breakfast - wouldn't say it's cheap but again, you are paying for quality. Overall a good spot located conveniently for commuters into the Bay. On a nice day sitting outside is a must.Vegetarian options: Also some vegan options available.

Coffee and quick snack before travelling into city centre Dog friendly too.Wheelchair accessibility: Side entrance toilet facilities
The young women serving was excellent, polite, friendly, calm, and produced a good standard of food and drink. However she was on her own doing at least a two person job. This caused almost an hours wait on food. A steady flow of costumers meant she was having to try and prepare food inbetween making drinks (and there was a table of 12 wanting food!). She deserves a raise or bonus for keeping such a positive demeanour in a challenging situation. Management need to sort out this lack staffing issue and reward their hardworking staff for such a strong effort.

This cafe is very welcoming and friendly. Although it has a bar, as a Muslim I feel like I am welcome. I often come here to have a coffee and catch up on some uni work. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is very calming.

A wonderful coffee shop suitable for a quick stop or a longer working/study session. Good food, great atmosphere, and accessible facilities, such as plugs etc.The staff are especially lovely, always ready to serve with a smile and a friendly chat. They are warm and engaging, and are the main reason I've become a regular. Academy has now become my go-to coffee shop!
Definitely closed today.
Great coffee and very nice place.
