Terra Nova Cafe - Cardiff

This is a lovely cafe on the edge of Roath Park. The cafe allows dogs which is to be expected as the cafe is in the heart of a park and popular family and dog walking area. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, the cakes are to die for- lots of choice but my favourites were the custard slices, strawberry tart and custard filled eclairs. Everyone is friendly, the staff and customers. It gets very busy so it’s common to have to wait and semi queue for a table but the food is definitely worth the wait. We had chicken curry and a ham and cheese panini and a tuna tuna panini and chips. All were great.

We had a great evening enjoying pizza and cold beer! the views are tremendous across the lake! the staff were very friendly. Definitely do this again.

I stopped at Terra Nova cafe for a quick coffee when going for a wintry walk round Roath Park lake. I entered at the door indicated and followed the sign to the till but no one was there. I could hear 2 people talking in a room off from the counter and tried to get their attention but couldn't. After 5 minutes of waiting I was leaving when I saw a food preparation room. I asked a woman in there and she sent a young man to serve me at the counter. I bought a decaf coffee, which costs 10% more than caffeinated coffee. The coffee was ok. The chairs in the cafe are made of metal so had become very cold over a freezing night. It was very uncomfortable sitting on such a cold seat. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy my visit to Terra Nova cafe, which is a shame because it's so nice to look at the lake.

What a surprise to meet a Gamecock in Cardiff! Nick, being able to tell we were from the states the minute we walked in the door, was extremely gracious and accommodating even after learning I was a Clemson graduate. We were there with our Cardiff family and so there were 9 of us and Nick made sure to find a way to seat us together. I got the pizza, which was amazing. Others in our group enjoyed the paninis. The beer selection was good as well as the hot drinks on a cold, windy day. Wonderful place to catch up with the extended family. Can’t wait to visit when it is warmer and we can sit outside. Definitely a place to try and enjoy the surroundings of a beautiful park.

I had the most delightful afternoon at the Terra Nova I took my family for cream tea. Delicious food, great atmosphere and tip top service I would highly recommend
