Coffee#1 Whitchurch - Cardiff

Great staff, as always. Is their expresso as good as home ground and machine? Maybe not, but very fine and better than S**tbucks. My son's Avocado FrappaCrappucino was, he said, better than Somanybucks, and that is some compliment. Had a sip, and it was a fab fousand calories. Thanks to Ceri and all staff.

Very average. We were made to feel like we were an inconvenience when we ordered coffee and cake 30 mins before closing time even though we finished and left before the coffee shop closed. Coffee and cake was ok but atmosphere a let down.

I really enjoyed spending half an hour here in the mornings before work. The coffee was excellent and always came with a friendly smile. A special mention to Ceri and her amazing coffee artistry!

Yesterday, my friend and I went to have coffee in Whitchurch village. We ordered coffee and cake, which were good. However, our experience was interrupted when a couple came in with three medium-sized, ill-behaved dogs. Despite our discomfort with having dogs nearby while we ate, we tolerated it. Unfortunately, the smell of the dogs' breath and fur was unpleasant and hard to bear. We decided to leave as soon as we finished our drinks, and as we were leaving, the dogs began barking loudly with excitement. Although I like dogs, I found their presence in the restaurant unacceptable. There was no visible "Dog Friendly" notice in the shop. The coffee and food were fine, but I rated the experience a 2 due to the staff allowing smelly dogs in the establishment. Next time, we may try one of the other three places in the village that serve coffee and cake.

My daughter and I are regular visitors to this coffee shop and have always had a positive experience. This morning, we decided to stop by around 11am for some coffee and cake. The place was quite crowded, with most of the tables already taken. However, our experience was quickly ruined when a couple arrived with three large dogs that were barking and whining. They sat near us, and my daughter, who has a severe fur allergy, immediately took an antihistamine. The dogs had a strong odor and, although they eventually settled down, they were restless. Shortly after, my daughter began sneezing and wheezing, forcing us to leave before we could finish our drinks. While the presence of dogs may be acceptable in bars where there is more space and people are not eating, it is completely inappropriate in a busy, enclosed environment where food is being served. We will likely return to this coffee shop in the future, but if this situation becomes a regular occurrence, we may have to find a different venue.
