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.

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 roastery, operating out of the Victorian Royal Arcade. The team roasts what they serve, and the staff understand the sourcing well enough to tell you about it.
