Cardiff city centre doesn't have many places where you can order a pour-over and have it treated as a serious drink. This is one of them.

The city-centre stop where filter gets the same attention as espresso.

Pour-over

What we love

  • Pour-over on the menu as a deliberate option, ordered and recommended by coffee-literate regulars
  • Cortado available alongside standard espresso formats
  • Priced at London-comparable specialty rates
  • Independent Cardiff brand, not a chain or franchise

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.
