Lovely little coffee shop in Bute park. Ideal if you're waiting to catch a coach from Sofia Gardens. It's just a short walk over the river taff foot bridge. Reasonably priced and lovely staff.

So I just got off a coach at Sofia Gardens Coach Station. Was in need of a good coffee so headed across the river to Summerhouse Cafe.
A warm welcome, good chitchat and a great price for a oat milk latte. I had my own mug so got a discount as well.
Great customer service and look forwards to coming here in the summer when I come to Cardiff again.

Tiny little cafe in Bute park, lots of places for seating and bowls for dogs to drink from.
Good selection of hot food, drinks, ice cream and snacks. Many choices and fair prices for the location.
Parking in Sophia gardens nearby.
Friendly staff, hope to visit again.

Welcome stop off point for walkers in Bute Park. The cafe seems to change hands every couple of years, so quality varies, but generally good for tea/coffee and light meals. My dog loves a dog ice cream from here any time of the year.

Such lovely staff with a large range of food, cold and hot drinks and ice creams. Very good with the social distancing with barriers for different queues with tables to pass the drinks/food over to customers. I also noticed that they sanitize the tables and freezers regularly. Would recommend!!!

I like the Summerhouse Cafe and almost always stop off when I'm passing. A nice place to sit, drink a beverage or soft drink, eat a decent snack (plenty of choice) and watch the world go by in the open fresh air of essentially a large well kept garden. Loads of people passing, just has a nice ambiance. Staff always appear pleasant and friendly. Be aware though that it is entirely open air and most of the seating is bench tables literally in the open. There will be some sun umbrellas in the summer but little shelter in the colder months if it's raining. Also it is a kiosk based cafe, collect your food at the window once it's freshly made.
