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.

200 Degrees Coffee Shop & Barista School★★ Specialty

Own roastery, live barista school running from the same Queen Street building. If you want a well-made espresso drink in Cardiff city centre, this is the address.
