The independent option at Cardiff Central. Flat whites come with proper micro-foam and a blend that runs chocolate and biscuit rather than just brown.

One independent at Cardiff Central doing espresso with actual technique.

What we love

  • Medium-dark house blend with chocolate and biscuit flavour notes
  • Proper micro-foam on the flat white
  • Consistent independent at Cardiff Central, where the alternative is a chain queue

Hard Lines Market★★ Specialty

Hard Lines roasts in Cardiff and pours from this market counter. Order a V60. It's the closest you'll get to the source.

Corner Coffee★★ Specialty

The guest espresso slot rotates through named producers, with barista write-ups that explain the origin, the processing method, and what you're actually drinking. Serious sourcing for a city-centre stop.

Uncommon Ground Coffee Roastery★★ Specialty

Cardiff's own roaster, with its coffee bar in the Victorian Royal Arcade. The team roasts what they serve at their own facility outside the centre, and the staff understand the sourcing well enough to tell you about it.
