Great coffee shop, quick service, fabulous coffee and the sausage and egg door step sandwich for breakfast was enough to keep me going all day. Would recommend.

Lovely spot to relax in Cardiff. Great coffee. Lovely breakfast. I had scrambled eggs on rustic toast. There was as good range on the menu. Great atmosphere but by far the best part for me was the service. Lovely attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble.

We went to Coffee Barker twice during our two day break in Cardiff. Coffee Barker is located in the Castle Arcade. The Castle Arcade is part of the three Grade II listed Victorian and Edwardian arcades in Cardiff. All of the arcades have some amazing original architectural features, which make the arcades quite special. The interior of Coffee Barker was filled with low seating (armchairs and sofas) and (coffee) tables. This created a perfectly relaxed setting. First time we ordered the Tun

Had some breakfast here whilst I was visiting Cardiff. Really liked the coffee avocado toast with chorizo (really proper bread). Coffee was also really good. Only thing I was slight underwhelmed by the juices as they weren’t fresh juices. Really nice staff though great atmosphere.

Visited for breakfast and coffee which was lovely. Food choices were good and what I chose was delicious. The coffee is lovely, able to choose plant based options too. Overall, a very lovely visit, would happily recommend and visit again.
