Genuinely great quality food. Cook obviously knows their taste combos, not the standard drab cafe food. Reasonable prices and great drinks selection too. Been here twice in 2 days for sweet and savoury

Gorgeous food using wholesome ingredients. Had a quiche with salad and coleslaw it was really tasty. Every part of the meal had gorgeous flavours and was very reasonably priced. It's in a perfect spot for a dog walk lunch, just wish they'd open more places!

Lovely cafe within the walls of the secret garden partly open to the sunshine and under cover too. Opening hours can vary depending on the weather. Certainly worth a visit when in wonderful Bute Park. Toilets here too.

Lovely little cafe with nice seating area out front and toilets in the back. Absolutely love their soft serve ice cream! Flavour changes every week, always a different combination so nice to try something new :) Didn't love the hot chocolate or pastries we had last time, but the coffees are good. Good little cafe to pop into if you're in the park :)

Very busy for Monday, but the snacks and coffee were still great. The staff were polite and friendly and the scenery just beautiful with the Autumn leaves in full colour.

Nice cafe in the heart of Bute Park, l like the yard with trees and different plants front of the cafe. I got a latte and carrot cake. The food is okay, but it could have been better to provide different options of cakes.

My favourite cafe in Cardiff hands down! Set in Bute Park in the city centre, attached to the walled plant nurseries, and surrounded by greenery, flowers and birds. Go early for peace and birdsong, at lunch or tea time for lots of dog-walking visitors, and any time for a friendly welcome and creative, seasonal soups and bakes. Some dishes on offer are more successful than others, but I love their experimental nature, which means I can try something new every time. Two small things to be aware of, however. As this cafe is in the park, covered seating is limited, so you are a little exposed to the elements. Also the loos are pretty basic, and can be muddy on a wet day, but clean enough.

Amazing food, really good quality ingredients and a wide range of vegetarian offers. We had the savoury waffles which were great, but everything that came out looked awesome.

We visited here for the first time today. What a great find, the coffee was made well and tasted great. The food was home made, different to a normal cafe offering and served pipping hot. Thanks and we'll be back!

I have only purchased take away hot drinks and cake here whilst on a walk. Lovely looking Cafe Great Staff the grounds around the cafe are beautiful, Lovely to sit down on the benches outside. Coffee is very nice and not that churned out standard stuff you get in most coffee places. Hot chocolate is rich and tasty. Cakes are very good. There are toilets on site Only problem i have had is service can be a tad slow.

It's a challenge to visit Bute Park without a stop at this beaut of a place. Lovely homemade food and drinks, plenty of vegan options, and that stunning wooden door! There's good reason there's almost always a queue. You will never regret ordering one of their veggie samosas!

The staff are always so lovely and friendly. They have one vegan ice cream and one vegan soft serve and change the flavours often which is lush to see and they're really good. The ice lollies are really good too. A great place to stop while in Bute park and I hope they're around for years to come. 5 stars for the service alone tbh 💚 I also love how their packaging is super sustainable, even the ice lolly packaging was compostable!

Must try the ice cream and they have free water fill so if you are around the Bute park you can have a refill
