The Secret GardenPontcanna, Cardiff

"A proper coffee stop inside Bute Park, where the baristas have enough skill to pull off an off-menu cortado without flinching. If you're walking the park and want something better than a chain, this is it."

What we love

• •Baristas handle off-menu espresso drinks, not just the standard board
• •Own-cup discount in place
• •Strong cake and food offering alongside the coffee
• •Bute Park location makes it a natural mid-walk stop
