Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Lift Services (South Wales) Ltd

"Still Cardiff's best vegan restaurant, it opened up declaring itself the city's first 100% vegan restaurant, run by a Hare Krishna monk. 'Anna' means food, health or earth and 'Loka' means world. Sample dish: Ultimate Burger - Beetroot, cashew and red lentil patty stacked in between two onion rings, jalapeños, tomato, lettuce, gherkins, garlic mayo & sweet chilli sauce, served with a choice of triple cooked chips or sweet potato fries"

"Cardiff's very first vegan restaurant is run by a Hare Krishna monk, and just because it's free from all animal products, do not expect a boring menu. Anna Loka makes epic meals, from their famous carrot cake through to huge brunch plates, you won't want to miss out on."

"Anna Loka is Cardiff's first 100% vegan restaurant, run by a Hare Krishna monk. 'Anna' means food, health or earth and 'Loka' means world. The food is tasty and the surroundings are relaxed."

"This is where you go if you want a Cardiff breakfast that feels like you’ve got a little bit of your living room with you for the ride. It’s got a fair few sofas, as well as the main restaurant tables to choose from, so if you just want to wallow in comfort while stocking up on nutrients then this is a good shout. It’s also got some pretty big tables for larger groups."

"It's not a vegetarian restaurant, but it offers some tasty grub for those who are vegan or don't eat meat. There's something for non-meat and non-dairy eaters on the brunch, tapas, main and pudding menu, including a vegan BLT and chocolate orange torte!. Where: 1 Hills Street, St David's, Cardiff, CF10 2LE"

"For a great vegan breakfast in the centre of Cardiff, check out Cosy Club. We wanted a yummy vegan breakfast to snack on before visiting Cardiff castle. Cosy club is part of the Loungers chain which was founded in 2002 by three friends."

"Right on Queen Street this isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s an evangelical church of coffee, with Rainforest Alliance certified coffee from Brazil and a full-scale barista school to boot . I also rather liked the sign for free cupping classes I spied, which says a lot about the hip vibe here, and in fact all over Cardiff."

"200 Degrees Cardiff shop roast their own coffee on site and run Cardiff’s only fully fledged barista school upstairs!. Just pop into the café."

"Cafe Citta is now so popular you have to book well in advance. When you manage to get a table you'll be delighted with the Italian food (the pizzas are fantastic) in this tiny, atmospheric and buzzy restaurant. And making that much effort is actually very romantic."

"A family run restaurant serving up delicious authentic Italian food. This place is always lively and just the smell as you enter is enough to make you want to order everything on the menu. Dishes on offer are what you’d expect, more or less."

"Seriously, how is anyone meant to go carb-free when there's food like this in the world?. Proof that Wales does Italian well."

"With local art on the walls and an informal vibe, this cool cafe is recommended on the strength of its breakfast," says the Lonely Planet travel guide. And who can argue with that?"

"We love the sound of their American-style pancakes with smoked bacon or bananas and maple syrup. Where: 71 Pontcanna Street, Cardiff CF11 9HS"

"An Italian restaurant that uses a handcrafted, traditional Neapolitan brick oven for its stone-baked pizzas, custom-built by a specialist oven-maker in Italy. On the menu you'll find pizzas that include Scarpariello, with cherry and sun dried tomatoes, garlic, basil and pecorino alongside 'Nduja, with spicy salami from Calabria, mozzarella and basil. What you said: "The few times we have eaten there with our children the staff could not have done more to accommodate and it is for this reason the children always ask to go here above and beyond the usual culprits favoured by their peers. "

"Formerly known as Anatoni's, Da Mara (stylised as 'da MARA') is a lovely restaurant near Roath Lake that offers authentic Italian food and great service. They specialise in proper Italian pizza - the pizzas have their own separate menu, in fact - but there are plenty of other dishes available too if pizza isn't your thing.

"With Wales' first Stefano Ferrara log burning pizza oven, Da Mara is making pizzas worthy of a Naples pizzeria. There's also a wide selection of à la carte dishes."

"Clarence Park is close to the seafront and includes a play area, a bowling club and a café. It is popular with dog walkers."

"Everyone loves a Greggs, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or both!. For a quick, on-the-go brunch, grab yourself the All-Day Breakfast Wrap, filled to the brim with pork sausage, sweet cure bacon and a cheese omelette with tomato relish, all in a soft tortilla wrap. Treat yourself to a hot coffee whilst you’re at it and you’re all set for the rest of the day!"

"From sandwiches to pasties, sausage rolls, to sweet treats, you probably already know what you’re getting at Greggs. The small store in Whitchurch is next door to The Royal Oak."

"With nearly 200 years of experience of welcoming holiday makers, its small wonder Weston remains as much of a magnet for visitors, as it always has. Weston boasts a beautiful promenade, stretching for 1 1/4 miles along the sandy beach. Break your walk by visiting Sea Life Centre, Grand Pier and Marine Lake (boating and paddling)."

"At the other end of the spectrum is Bill’s, located right in the middle of the city, opposite the St David’s shopping centre on The Hayes. It’s not great for large parties, unless you’re happy to be spread over a number of tables, but it does have a delicious breakfast menu. A Cardiff hen weekend is well setup with a breakfast at Bill’s, with its relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and good variety of food."

"This popular chain is certainly a great option for family dining in Cardiff Bay. Founded by Greengrocer Bill Collison, you can expect fresh, seasonal dishes for breakfast, lunch, teatime and dinner. Breakfast is particularly good (try the blueberry buttermilk pancakes), and is served until 1pm on weekends."

"This chain restaurant is loved by everyone and anyone and no matter where you are, as soon as you see Bill’s, there is nothing else you want for breakfast. Cardiff’s city centre Bill’s is no different from the rest. Except it’s inside a late 1800s Wyndham Arcade that is also a Grade II listed building."
