Caffe Gelato has become a welcome addition to this area of the city centre. It has managed to establish itself as a café that serves good quality food at reasonable prices. With its décor and its fairly regular stream of custom it can appear to be a business that has been established for some time. I find a visit here has to incorporate ice-cream in one way of another. And they do good ice-cream to enjoy in the café or to take away. One way I find ice-cream can be vastly improved is through the addition of cake, and this rule is proven through a correct visit to Caffe Gelato. Grab something sugary and then put something extra sugary and creamy on top of it and enjoy the view of people buzzing past Cardiff Castle.

In this prime area of town the shops and cafés seem to change hands infrequently, as most businesses here seem to do well thanks to all the tourists milling around visiting the Castle and nearby attractions. Caffe Gelato, however, has sprung up here recently, and offers tourists, shoppers and workers a new city centre café to grab a drink, some lunch, or a generous gelato. When I’ve wandered past it’s generally been busy with customers wolfing down delicious looking paninis and salads, sipping a mug of coffee, or enjoying a smoothie. I’ve only tried their gelato, however, which is very good — but it’s worth knowing that they actually have a far wider menu than their ice cream-themed title would suggest, if you want a full on lunch. The perfect place to cheer yourself up on a damp and drizzly day, or to grab an ice cream on your way to Bute Park when the sun’s shining!

Caffe Gelato is a new sandwich and gelato eatery that opened just a few weeks ago across the street from Cardiff Castle. I’ve noticed recently, and I wonder if anyone else as well, that there have been a crop of businesses in the last few years that charmingly possess more substance than style. I’m sick to death of these slick, pretentious cafes that offer little more than Tesco-quality sandwiches at a premium price. Caffe Gelato is a welcomed reprieve, with a quaint and bustling atmosphere(it was a Saturday, after all), and in a perfect position to catch all of the tourists in the castle’s orbit. Now for the gelato: The apple crumble I had was creamy and delicious, and the fact that it was a warm day made it all the more enjoyable. If you’re fancy something a little more substantial, Caffe Gelato offers a selection of paninis, baguettes and salads, as well as coffee, smoothies and drinks.
