In the middle if Montpelier's cool district is this community owned and run eco-cafe-bookshop. It doubles up as a not for profit events space and internet cafe run by volunteers. They run super storytelling for children events and talks on diverse subjects like green cuisine and gardening. They also stock a whole load of books and magazines on eco and ethical living and children's books. The café dishes up delicious fair-trade coffees and teas and some scrummy homemade cakes, including a squishy Welsh apple cake that I washed down with elderflower cordial. Good place to meet friends and learn about the environment, if that's your bag.

Prices a quite good, £1 for an hour of surfing, the printing is cheap and they'll scan documents for you, though at 50p a sheet it seems a tad much. International Phone cards are available and as the yellow and black sign indicates they do Western Union money transfers too. Service is quick if a little distracted but hey that internet thingy is addictive or so I've heard. Which may explain the greyish and rundown interior, you're probably too preoccupied with the screen to take in your surroundings, though when I was in there last I was engrossed by an aphid crawling along the printer. I do hope it's a pet.

Hotspot Internet Café is a small internet shop on City Road that seems to have given much of the…read morelimited space available to telephone booths where international calls can be made. It's funny to see this kind of setup in the UK, as I'm more accustomed to seeing it in India and West Africa, where I am always tremendously grateful for the services they offer. But, with communication being pretty cutting edge in the UK, I do wonder at the need for services of this type. However, there are a lot of foreign students living in the immediate area, and calling long distance on a mobile is probably prohibitively expensive for them. Hotspot Internet Café also sell international phone cards that can be used in conjunction with the landlines installed, or elsewhere if desired. I used to have one about ten years ago, and it was really useful and economical. My job took me all around the UK, and the card meant that I could use hotel landlines at a fraction of the cost that I'd be charged if the usual hotel rates were applied. When I was in India last year the telephone and internet shop that I used most regularly had a dedicated phone using Skype. This was even more economical than the cards, and I wonder why Hotspot Internet Café don't offer this service as well, as they clearly have the setup to do it. In addition to telephone and internet services, Hotspot Internet Café also offer a limited suite of ancillary services that include, copying and faxing. They also offer PC and laptop network maintenance and setup.

And that's the main reason I'm always going back!

There are comfy sofas and a lovely flowery decor welcoming you to come and sit for a few hours taking advantage of the free wifi. It always amazes me how this place is so clean by day, seeing that during the evening it turns into the Cardiff union's nightclub with many a scantily clad student, coffee being a billion miles away from their mind. This is just a great spot to meet up with friends, have a beverage and some food without costing the earth.
