Amazing Drinks, the coffee is the best and the pop up Pizza Evening was amazing. One of the best Pizzas ever. Friendly and polite staff as well and made for a great Date night.

What a find! Buzzy atmosphere as soon as you step in, and found a table even though it was very busy. Staff were happy and chatty, and the food was delicious. Such amazing coffee too. Can't wait to go back.

The staff member in charge of allocating tables was doing a fantastic job under extremely busy conditions! I think they would benefit from going to table service to reduce foot traffic through the cafe. Food was incredible! Music a bit loud. Our food didn't all arrive at the same time, about 10-15 minutes delay between the first and last served! But it was really delicious, and staff were working very hard.

An absolute gem. Very busy but there's a reason for that...it's absolutely fantastic.Every dish was full of high quality, fresh ingredients. The coffee was delightful and the staff were great.A must visit if you're looking for places in South Wales.

Very trendy coffee/ brunch place with lively atmosphere. Have not tried in evening. Cups are small with no handles, either love this or not!

Lovely little place featuring some amazing food from guest businesses. Very dog friendly and the tables are well spaced out, there's a nice vibe. The staff seemed a little rude and disinterested most of the time but it was hot and very busy so this can be overlooked.Would definitely return!
