What a wonderful find! Just a short stroll from Cardiff Central train station, in an arcade. Great tea, coffee and wonderful sandwiches and salads on excellent gluten-free bread. And very reasonable! Highly highly recommended!

Food: Tried the smoked Haddock rare-bit. It was delicious. The portion wasn't large but it was moderately priced at £6.50. Didn't manage to try any of their cakes this time around.
Tea: Hot-water refills are complimentary. We tried some of the Japanese green teas - kukicha (£3.50) and matcha (£5). Both interesting choices, the matcha is probably a bit too adventurous for someone who is only used to their English breakfast! The kukicha was recommended as a milder introduction to Japanese green teas - it went down well with my companion who was new to these.
Next time I plan to try the matcha latte.
Atmosphere: Noise level is moderate, can be a little louder when it's busy but still quiet enough to hold a comfortable conversation at your table. On this occasion we were sat at a sofa and coffee table on the ground floor. There are a few locations near power outlets for those who want to bring a laptop.
Service: Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Our waitress gave good menu explanations and recommendations - definitely developed our tea-taste buds.
Don't come here if you're in a rush - food arrives slowly.
Lasting impression: Good food with moderate pricing and an interesting range of teas. Casual place for a light meal and a long afternoon chat over a cuppa.
If you want afternoon tea it is wise to book - they can get quite busy.
