Their small lunch deal is a great value and fills me up easily. The breakfast bagels are fantastic and perfect for a late brunch. This is a great spot for daily breakfast with excellent coffee. A must-try if you live nearby or study at Cardiff University.

I ordered a good quality pasta and a Pepsi for around £5 with a discount, and the service has improved since my last visit. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and disorganized, but it was understandable as they were dealing with a high volume of orders both in person and through Deliveroo. Despite having to wait about 20 minutes for my pasta and hot chocolate, it was a decent meal to start the day. The prices are reasonable, although slightly on the expensive side. The 15% student discount was a nice touch. I haven't tried the bagels yet, but I heard they're popular. In short, the pasta is decent and reasonably priced, but it's probably best to visit during off-peak hours to avoid the rush.

Brilliant place in a very comfortable location. breakfast bagels are beautiful and not too expensive, and the service is extremely fast. highly recommended. read more Brilliant place in a very comfortable location. breakfast bagels are beautiful and not too expensive, and the service is extremely fast. highly recommended.

Got a good quality medium pasta pepsi for around £5 w/ the discount applied and they've sped up their service since I last came here. Absolutely brilliant! I wish Google did half-stars as this place deserves more than a 3 but doesn't quite warrant a 4. Staff seem a little rushed and disorganised because they seem to receive a lot of orders at once from people phoning in and using Deliveroo etc. Although I did wait quite a while for my pasta and hot chocolate ~20min it was good as a pick-me-up in the morning. Although nothing particularly amazing . Prices are reasonable although a tad on the expensive side? and the 15% Student Discount is very nice. Helps to offset the price a bit I've to try them, but the bagels are quite nice or so I've been told and seen by the fact they're very popular TL;DR Pasta is decent and a decent price, but probably a good idea to order this one through Deliveroo to your dorm/office rather than coming down here in person.

Really nice little hidden place. Great bagels and pasta was lovely. read more Really nice little hidden place. Great bagels and pasta was lovely.
