Well I passed the shop on the way to another shop I usually use. I decided to ask if they did Sausage & Bacon baguettes etc. The lady advised she could do a sandwich. Duly picked it up and it was truly awful. One sausage apparently cut in half to go further and some fatty bacon on 2 slices of... more

I went here because of the good reviews but was a bit dissapointed. The traditional breakfast tasted good but was too small (just 1 sausage and 1 egg) and overly priced (I think it was 7£). Also I don't know if the custom is to get a refill on coffee but I was not offered and didn't bother to ask... more

Our freshly cooked breakfast usually costs £5.95 for thick cut back bacon, quality pork and leek sausage in a natural casing, local free range fried egg, mushrooms, grilled tomato, baked beans and two slices of toast. If a customer requests different or extra items, for example a second egg, we will always provide them. Our menu specifies 'please ask for...

We visit Garlands during our regular visits to Cardiff. We are always impressed with the friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the excellent service. Good quality food for both the meat eaters and vegetarians among us - my favourite is the glamorgan sausages, the best i have ever tasted!!! more

We came to Garlands for breakfast while on holiday with our 3 children (7, 5, and 4 months). I had the Pancake Breakfast - with proper crispy bacon! It was fabulous and I'll probably have it next time too! All our children were welcomed, and nothing was too much trouble. I also like the touch of a clean, well equipped... more

Perfect!

Friendliest service I have encountered, extremely nice food at a resonable price and easily the most relaxed, unobtrusive atmosphere in Cardiff. The venue is small and personal with quiet, relaxed music. The choice is very wide with a good selection of local dishes using locally sourced produce. more

I have been here a few times and the food has always been excellent. It is cooked fresh to order and served warm. There is a great choice of food and it is great value for money. The place has a really nice atmosphere inside and has a real european feel if you choose to sit outside. The staff are... more

I love this place, the food is fresh, appetising and reasonably priced . The coffee and cakes are more tasty than those in department stores and it is great to have efficient table service. It is also cleaner. I will definatley be eating here again . It is convenient as it is just across the road from the castle grounds... more

If you get tired of walking through a central Cardiff, do not miss the Garlands Eatery in shopping arcade just near the Cardiff Castle. Nothing large, just cozy enough to read your paper or check your next journey in the map. If you like coffee, then you must not miss to have one here! Great place to start your day... more
