The Summerhouse in Cardiff

Just stopped in for a quick breakfast before tackling Pen y Fan. Was lovely and fresh, excellent service and set in a very nice park to sit and watch the world go by.

Welcome stop off point for walkers in Bute Park. The cafe seems to change hands every couple of years, so quality varies, but generally good for tea/coffee and light meals. My dog loves a dog ice cream from here any time of the year.

Nice location.Cup of Tea I had was good.Cost.. Same as everywhere else I suppose.Handy if you want to stop and take a drink or have some food,and even the dog can come.

Stopped for a drink and some food as I’d seen them spray hand sanitiser in another customer’s hand.Before handling the ice cream I asked for some hand sanitiser too and the woman pointed to a bucket of water with some bubbles in. How can this possibly be safe with everyone sticking their hands in?Wouldn’t have been a huge problem if the staffs’ attitude wasn’t so awful.

Such lovely staff with a large range of food, cold and hot drinks and ice creams. Very good with the social distancing with barriers for different queues with tables to pass the drinks/food over to customers. I also noticed that they sanitize the tables and freezers regularly. Would recommend!!!

Great location within the park, however the hot drinks weren't good and actually chucked the cappuccino and hot chocolate we had.

Really like this little cafe in Bute Park. They do great breakfast rolls/baguettes for £3. It's dog friendly (unlike the Secret Garden Cafe further along the path) which is great for us as we have a labradoodle. Good location just across the bridge from Sofia Gardens. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the tea is a bit weak, but that's all. Well recommended!

I like the Summerhouse Cafe and almost always stop off when I'm passing. A nice place to sit, drink a beverage or soft drink, eat a decent snack (plenty of choice) and watch the world go by in the open fresh air of essentially a large well kept garden. Loads of people passing, just has a nice ambiance. Staff always appear pleasant and friendly. Be aware though that it is entirely open air and most of the seating is bench tables literally in the open. There will be some sun umbrellas in the summer but little shelter in the colder months if it's raining. Also it is a kiosk based cafe, collect your food at the window once it's freshly made.

Good selection of hot foods, ice cream and snacks. Many choices and prices are surprising good for the location.Lots of places for seating and bowls for dogs to drink.The staff was very helpful and friendly. Recommended and will visit again.

Good value and great location spoilt by their insistence on playing music through speakers in the roof. Guess the natural sounds of birds singing is not the owner's thing.. Such a shame.
