New York Deli, High St Arcade, Cardiff Absolutely tonnes of food at a reasonable price. They were really friendly too. Jon had a breakfast bagel with a mountain of egg and bacon, Jim opted for a hot dog and I had a vegan grinder with extra gherkins (pregnancy!). It gets extra points for being American and interesting but loses points for being American and over sized. ****
Cafe Remos, Aberavon beach, Port Talbot What a pleasant surprise. Somebody has thrown a whole lot of money at this seaside town recently and Cafe Remos looks to be just the start. The cafe was very fancy and new, and there were some amazing views out to sea. The menu was pretty standard for breakfast but unfortunately they have no concept of vegetarian let alone vegan. Iona and I shared the beans on toast, Jim had a sausage sandwich and Jon went a bit fancier with the eggs benedict. The kids particularly enjoyed their huge ice cream milkshakes. **** www.caferemos.com
Chiquitos, Cardiff Bay
The food was lush but the service was awful … then they gave us a 50% discount and all was good.
I had a veggie breakfast sizzler and swapped eggs with avocado. It had hash browns, mushrooms, veg, roasted tomatoes and beans. Jon had a breakfast burrito, Jim had bacon and pancakes, and Iona had a freebie breakfast of eggs, sausage and beans (free with an adult breakfast).
The kids liked playing with the sombreros and they had a sneaky pudding of churros too.

Cedar Tree Farm pub, Cardiff Retail park Big breakfasts! Lots of options and veggie friendly. Jim had a sausage, bacon and egg roll, Iona had the porridge and Jon and I had cooked breakfasts. They're fairly new to breakfasts so it didn't run smoothly and they forgot our hash browns but brought us extra. Cups of tea were bottomless so the boys were happy. ****
Chapter Arts, Cardiff Full cooked breakfasts in meat or veggie /vegan options available. Jim enjoyed his but there was far too much for him. The sausages were good quality but the egg wasn't runny. I had the Sunday lunch because we got there at 12 and the breakfast didn't sound so special. Great place to meet and eat but it wasn't stand out.
Anna Loke, Albany Road, Cardiff Vegan, all vegan! And the two meat eaters enjoyed it too. Jim had berry pancakes; I had a full vegan breakfast with bacon, sausages, avocado and more; and Jon had a breakfast roll. Iona slept through it so missed out. The food was good but drinks could have been better as we all sat drinking from cartons. ****
Waffle, Clive Road, Cardiff (A week ago because I'm still catching up) Vegan waffles!!! I had a simple vegan waffle with maple syrup and vegan ice cream but there are plenty of options. The group of vegans next to us had a berry compote and there are vegan sausages available. Anyway, mine was delicious 😋 The kids shared a non vegan American waffle with bacon, maple syrup and extra beans. All was scoffed down in minutes. *****
Crema, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay (2 weeks ago - I'm pregnant and lazy) Toast, pastries and a bacon roll. Small breakfast menu but good for a coffee shop and hubby got a staff discount because he works in the WMC. Comfy seats, nice staff and a lovely place to sit and just take in the beauty of the Centre. ****
Carluccio's, Cardiff Bay The kids could barely resist the giant meringues in the window when we walked by a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was closed so we headed off to Bill's. Today it was open and in the words of Jim, the meringue was ' awesome'. They were so big that Jim and Iona didn't even finish one between them. They also had a pan au chocolat, and I had a selection of breads with fig jam. The rest of the menu was eggs and more eggs, and not a bean in sight (poor Iona). ****
Anna's Greek Cafe, Caerphilly Road, Cardiff The Greek experience - lots of yummy food! Jim had a baklava slice (look at the size of it!) and hot chocolate; Iona had a chocolate brioche; and Jonathan had a cooked Greek breakfast with fried haloumi, spicy sausages and the usual breakfast items. Jim's only complaint was there was too much food. Not sure about the veggie options as I didn't make it out this weekend (morning sickness). ****

Riverside Farmer's Market, Cardiff Vegan cakes that will blow your mind, literally the best in the world! 8. Harvester, Sully Buffet dream. 9. Hannah's Diner, Cowbridge Fluffy American pancakes. 10. The Breakfast Bar, Cowbridge Road, Cardiff Good food and good service. My favourite: Riverside Market Jon's favourite: Cosy Club Jim's favourite: Harvester Iona's favourite: Probably Harvester too I wonder what else we'll find?
The Pot Cafe, Crwys Road, Cardiff Good grub. Jim especially liked his breakfast wrap with eggs, beans, chorizo and salsa. Iona tucked into the porridge. I had a vegan breakfast with falafel, mushrooms, tomatoes and homemade beans. Jonathan had a small Welsh breakfast. We saw a full size one and it took the bloke a very long time to get through it. The menu was more creative than we've seen in a lot of places. Now, I'm going to have to figure out recipes for baked beans and breakfast wraps to have at home. *****
Imperial Cafe, Splott Road, Cardiff
85 years of service and still going strong. We ordered food, sat down and it arrived - that quickly!
Beans on toast for Iona, bacon and sausage roll for Jim, veggie breakfast for me, and Jon had an egg and sausage roll. The food was fried and tasty. It’s another good greasy spoon to add too the list.
We were impressed especially by the speed
*****
Bill's, Cardiff Bay I liked it. It was a bit trendy and expensive but had some good ideas. I've heard lots of people rave about the breakfast and it was nice. I had hummus, guacamole, mushrooms and toast, Jon had eggs Florentine, Jim had a sausage and bacon sarnie, and Iona was happy with beans on toast. We had fancy drinks too which probably hiked up the price. Jon had a watermelon and raspberry smoothie and I had a peach and mint ice tea. Lots of positives. A few negatives: over friendly waiter, expensive, more scary toilets and the bread was stale. Maybe we'll try the one in Cardiff city centre another day. ****
Starbucks last week
Much better than I thought it was going to be …
Steamed soya milk with caramel syrup … mango and passion frappuccino … mocha frappuccino … mmmm drinks.
The food was okay but it’s all prepacked toasted sandwiches or cakes. I had a fruit toast, Jon had a breakfast roll and the kids shared a granola yoghurt and a chocolate pastry.
Jim’s vote was 5 stars and if it was on drinks only I’d probably agree.

Deli Rouge (2 weeks ago, because I forgot) Jim had a bacon roll and Iona had a very large bowl of porridge. Jim was disappointed by the lack of choice. He wants everywhere to serve pancakes, croissants and chocolate cereal! ***
