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.

A great little place for a snack or a cuppa (ice cream in summer). Sitting is outside only but some seats are covered. Great service and always love going here. Reasonably priced. Located in Bute Park near the Millennium footbridge.

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.
