went for tea after a morning's shopping with my daughter and stepped into an oasis of calm a stone's throw from the Millennium Stadium within the walls of Cardiff Castle. The selection was varied and interesting and service was excellent. Portions were very generous - we were so full that we took the offer of taking our cakes home! crockery... More

I would recommend for anyone visiting Cardiff to pop over for some lunch or the delicious afternoon tea. The staff were polite, friendly and happy to take requests. The afternoon tea consisted of 2 pots of tea of your choice, 3 different sandwiches to share, a fruit or plain scone and a slice of cake of your choice. (I had... More

Excellent location will be great in the summer. My partner and I had Walnut & banana cake and Lemon cake both were very nice but the lemon cake could've been more moist and lemony. I also tried a vanilla steamer for the first time, which was something different and really enjoyed it, looking forward to trying another flavour when we... More

We were treated well by the staff, with very prompt and friendly service, along with a good explanation of the menu. We were seated... More

I booked a table for my friends birthday and was really pleasantly surprised.

The cakes are home made, the atmosphere was really nice, great value for money and the service was outstanding... More

First time of visiting on Saturday afternoon was so good I had to go back again on Sunday afternoon for more lovely tea and cakes...
