Elmer's Take A Break Cafe

Great place. Is it michelin star food? No. But that's not what Elmer's is about. It's good, hearty, simple food at incredible prices. You get way more than you expect for the price that you pay and it's always delivered with a smile. The full english and omlette are both great. Student and NHS discounts also. A great place to go for a hearty meal before an exam.

Really busy little café. We had breakfast here every morning during our stay in Cardiff for 6 Nations Wales-France match. The staff are very friendly and gave a very warm welcome to the large groups of French supporters that kept pouring in. They were very accommodating, shuffling tables around and cooking up the best breakfasts for all, with a smile and lots of patience.

As many of my reviews will show - I do like a cafe and a cooked breakfast, so I’m not sure how I’ve managed to miss this place for so long. Staff are next level friendly and chatty and the food was superb. I was barely sat down with my coffee in the covered garden area before my breakfast was in front of me, cooked perfectly and piping hot. This is really straightforward cafe food cooked superbly with fresh ingredients. The prices are also startlingly good value, both for the quality and quantity but also compared to others in the Cardiff area. Definitely worth popping in if passing or making a trip for.

We went there for a real British food experience, and it was brilliant! The staffs were very nice and kind to us. They even offer double/mini/vegetarian(which is the one we took) options as well. With the jacket potato, you can order different toppings. Every single menu is made with a lot of efforts, thus they’re all so yummy. When I ordered the chocolate milkshake, a gentleman who served it asked me if it was sweet enough, which was very considerate thing to do. No wonder why this places is always full of people! Thank you so much for our very pleasant experience (: definitely recommend it both for the locals and visitors in Wales!
