All the food is freshly made and you can really tell. The quality of the baguettes and sandwiches are leagues above the likes of Subways and the prices aren't bad either. I have been told to recommend the big breakfasts they do by my friend sitting next to me. Apparently they are really good!

You will find that there is usually always space for you to sit and enjoy your meals, the service is very friendly and the food is, well quite pricy for what it is, but then I guess you are paying that little bit extra for that extra quality and care taken over the preperation (I tell you what though, i'd have a sub of the day over a sandwich from here any day!) The atmosphere is nice and warm inside, with alot of space for you to enjoy your coffee and fancy baguette. Lunch time hours might cramp your style a bit though.

The pricing is reasonable for the amount you get and the staff are happy to cater to specific needs (I like my bacon extra extra crispy with lots of ketchup!).

I stumbled upon Canna Deli after exploring the neighbourhood…read more It is tucked behind a row of houses so pretty easy to miss if you don't know it's there. It is a deli that serves a good selection of artisan, with a very local flare, food. I had Welsh Rarebit along with a Lemon Tart. Both were nicely presented on a slate plate and tasted great. The food is more expensive that you might like to pay but it is Pontcanna and the food is a notch up from your typical deli. There is seating both inside and out which is OK in the summer, but I am guessing it would be hard to find seating on a wet day.

I was expecting it to be more like an actual authentic bakery but it was not that. The food was very okay.

Not sure if I will come back again no matter how cheap it is. It is very convenient though.

If you are looking for a restaurant at lunchtime that offers a quick service with some top quality…read morefood then I suggest you try Pillars. 'Pillars' is an underground restaurant that has a wide variety choice of food. They rang from salads to sandwiches to hot meals. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is delightful and makes you leave with the idea of returning again. I have been to 'Pillars' many times because when I walk in there I know that I will get excellent quality food for a very reasonable price. When you first enter you can see all those glorious looking foods that look so exotic they scare me. So I stick to what I know and go for the hot meals. They are very basic like the bog standard Fish and Chips or Curry and chips. You are overwhelmed by the smells they give off that you will want to try everything they offer. The desserts look so edible that you want to just buy them all and take them home whilst watching a sad film. It costs around £7 per person but depending on what you buy they do have offers of 2 meals for £5 and offer a children's menu. This underground restaurant is a little gem in Cardiff and is constantly busy so make sure you get there early enough to get a table. Once you try their foods you will definitely want to go back there again.

This is an old-style lunchtime 'restaurant' down some stairs just off Queen Street (near Dominions…read moreArcade), and despite being a rather bizarre and tired-looking place it's often very busy - usually with lots of older people, weary shoppers, and families taking advantage of the cheap children's meals. You have to order your food at the hot or cold counter, then go on to pay at the till, then take a seat. The food is fairly standard - nothing exceptionally interesting, but plenty of choice of both hot and cold options such as salads, lasagne, fish and chips, jacket potatoes, soup and so on. Portions are filling and the prices are very reasonable. Make sure you know what you want before you reach the staff waiting to dish up behind the counter, though - otherwise they get impatient and make you feel like a bit of a nuisance.

This was my first visit to a Boston Tea Party and I can't say I'll be rushing back…read more It was pretty unremarkable I'd say, nothing particularly good or bad just ok. We met some friends for a late brunch, all nursing sore heads there was an interesting array of orders going in. I had the chorizo hash with poached eggs, the eggs were cooked to perfection so no complaints there, the hash was a great texture and portion size but it was well over seasoned and this really put me off. My husband had a veggie with burger with added pulled pork (sounds strange) the burger was good although a bit too much bread and the fries were a bit soggy. I do really like the decor, it's got an industrial vibe with added urban chic going on, there's some rather inviting looking a chairs in the window. We also had a red berry iced tea, which was ok, it quenched the hangover thirst so job done! All in all a pretty average experience, there's plenty of exciting independent cafés around the area that i'd recommend trying before settling on BTP!
