Stopped by for a Sunday morning breakfast. It was quiet and the staff were very friendly! Food was good - particularly the toast with poached egg! Very nice soft bread without the painful crust you sometimes get on a large slice. Lovely atmosphere as well surrounded by nature and in the block of buildings that make up Insole Court. Would definitely return as the calm and quiet was perfect for an early spring morning!
Visited early on a Saturday morning and it was empty (perfect). Nice to have a quiet coffee and relax. Service was friendly and coffee was fine.
We will visit again when in Llandaff.
I enjoyed the caramel slice I had on today's visit. It might have been too sweet for some people. The hot chocolate was good - the oat milk that was used did overpower the flavour. There was a small event on in the Insole Court gardens, so they weren't bringing drinks to the tables outside. I'm not sure if that is something that is usually done here, though.
A really attractive venue, with pleasant staff and plenty of seating, including in an outdoor courtyard. The indoor space feels crowded and noisy to me, however.
Decent coffee and snacks, and plenty of cakes on offer at reasonable prices.
Everything is served in paper cups and takeaway cartons, however, even if you sit in. I'd rather crockery and cutlery.
Visited The Potting Shed this morning. Don’t write reviews but I felt the need to comment. Our food was poor. The Rarebit was tasteless and cold, and the topping/filling of our coffee & walnut cake was rock hard. Staff surly and completely lacking in any customer service skills. All in all a very disappointing experience. Shame as I used to visit the cafe regularly several years when the food was truly fantastic - guessing it’s changed hands ?
The cafe is hugely improved. Food is good. The interior of the cafe is nice enough but the overall location of Insole Court is lovely. There’s also an excellent music school on site which I run.
Really cute café. Wish there was a bit more seating but also went during a busy time. Definitely a good cup with some tasty sounding food options.
Haven't visited for a while, but felt cafe had gone downhill. It looked grubby & jaded. Cobwebs, tired cushions, dirty walks/ skirting boards. A shame for a lovely location.
