Elmer's Take a Break Cafe in Cardiff

As many of my reviews will show - I do like a cafe and a cooked breakfast, so I’m not sure how I’ve managed to miss this place for so long. Staff are next level friendly and chatty and the food was superb. I was barely sat down with my coffee in the covered garden area before my breakfast was in front of me, cooked perfectly and piping hot.This is really straightforward cafe food cooked superbly with fresh ingredients. The prices are also startlingly good value, both for the quality and quantity but also compared to others in the Cardiff area. Definitely worth popping in if passing or making a trip for.

What a find this was.It's a bit off the beaten path but definitely worth the visit. It feels like a family business that's been there for years.The food was great, the service even better and best of all it's very affordable.There is also a small garden in the back.Definitely recommend.

I had the full breakfast. The prices are cheap and the service was fine but you get what you pay for in quality. The bacon, sausage, black pudding, and toast (on white bread) were all subpar compared to the other (admittedly more expensive) places I ate in Cardiff.

Amazing service. Amazing price. Perfect atmosphere and with garden seating. Such yummy food, I couldn't ask for better

Lovely breakfast, would reccommend.- friendly, happy staff- reasonable prices- cash only- outdoor seating-road parking close by (free)

Amazing roast !! We love it every single time ! Lovely English breakfast too! The staff always so helpful and polite!

Amazing food, great service and friendly staff. Lots of regulars so you know they are doing something right. The breakfasts were smashing. I'll definitely be back. Incredible value IMO.

5 stars definitely.Good service and Pretty fair price.A really warm family run restaurant. Would come again.

We went there for a real British food experience, and it was brilliant! The staffs were very nice and kind to us. They even offer double/mini/vegetarian(which is the one we took) options as well. With the jacket potato, you can order different toppings.Every single menu is made with a lot of efforts, thus they’re all so yummy. When I ordered the chocolate milkshake, a gentleman who served it asked me if it was sweet enough, which was very considerate thing to do.No wonder why this places is always full of people! Thank you so much for our very pleasant experience (: definitely recommend it both for the locals and visitors in Wales!

Greeted by a well dressed, extremely kind gentleman. A really nice guy. Service was excellent and food was great! We had the breakfast which we could substitute anything we didn't want for stuff we did which was ace! Good value food! Excellent customer service. I had veggie breakfast (foreground) with everything it came with on the menu and a really good coffee as well! My girlfriend had the mini breakfast and substituted a couple of items on the menu! Lovely seating area outside at the back as well!
