Made out of a few shipping containers and facing out onto Cardiff Bay. Great coffee and sandwiches. Great location as you have to walk past Millennium Centre, Welsh assembly, and Norwegian church to get there.

Drinks & Nightlife

Yes it's another Wetherspoons, but this one is by far the best in Cardiff. On a sunny day the upstairs balcony has great views over the bay and it has a pretty vibrant atmosphere on the weekend. Drinks prices very good.

Mill Lane is home to many bars and clubs. Take your pick. If you're nocturnal like me then 'Ten Mill Lane' is open until 6am on the weekend. Peppermint bar is usually packed out too.
