    Great variety of choice for veggie/vegan breakfast. (No meat served here). The salad bowls are healthy, generous and filling. Also serve hot breakfast with eggs. The fresh juice is served in a small jar, very tasty. Plenty of staff on duty (more than the massive Cosy Club round the corner!) - clearly well run 😊

    Excellent cafe with additional upstairs seating. Very fairly priced and good, healthy lunches available. I had the standard salad bowl (which was a selection of fresh salad bits) for about 5.50, was a very good portion and not the kind of small salads places can serve. Also sells coffees and fresh juices/smoothies Improvements I would make would be making the entrance wider to be more accessible and, also, make it clear how ordering works (no menus available, got to pay first then take it to a table/takeaway)

    Amazing café, lots of options, plenty of space, nice atmosphere, fairly priced. Would easily recommend to anyone. All food is vegetarian or vegan which is why we picked it.

    I haven't been to crumbs for about five years, as I don't go into town much. However the quality and taste of their mixed salad is, to be fair, legendary. I don't know for sure, but suspect that the mixed salad alone has made Crumbs a bit of an institution. It's great to know it hasn't changed since the last time I visited this cafe. Add peanuts and a dollop of their mayo based dressing for a filling bowl of goodness. The only downside I can think of is that their food hygeine rating is three stars, which is pretty shoddy.

    This is a lovely little place. Does good selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free breakfasts. Fresh juice good, coffee good. My American-style hash browns were a little anaemic, undercooked and under-loved, but I'm a hard diner to please, eggs were very well cooked though.

    My fave cafe in Cardiff. Staff are friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable, lots of options and it’s all really tasty. Nice coffee too.

    Really healthy selection of salads and veggie options. I ordered the salad bowl and poached eggs on toast and tbh there was so much food I had to ask to turn the salad bowl into a take away which they did without any issues. 5 star!

    Disappointing. I ordered poached egg and avo on toast. The egg was a bit “snotty” but the big issue was that avo which was ice cold (I assume it must have been frozen or in a fridge). It made it a very underwhelming experience. A real shame.

    Loved that the cafe was located at the side alley in the centre and had 3 floors with lovely seating. Staff were friendly and helpful explaining about the menu. 4 stars as they forgot some of our order till we mentioned it but quickly corrected it with apologies.

    I love crumbs, it is a great place to eat in and take away on the way through the arcade to my next stop. The salads are always fresh, with a lovely homemade coleslaw not found elsewhere. I love to sit upstairs near the window and watch people go by down in the arcade, relaxing.

    Small-town, artisanal food neatly tucked away in the heart of a capital city. A very well-presented, vegetarian English breakfast and a pot of tea came to less than £12.

  • 5/5 Eric Wyn R. 6 months ago on Google
    Went in on a Saturday morning. You can find a vegetarian breakfast in many cafes these days but it's a bit more difficult if you want a vegan one. Service was quick and professional and the food was good and reasonably priced. Portion size was about right for my liking (i.e. not a massive plate of unhealthy stodge) and the coffee was more than decent.

  • 5/5 Katie S. 4 months ago on Google
    Wow - what a gorgeous place! Loads of lovely vegan and vegetarian delights on the menu. Really lovely staff, nothing is too much trouble. I cannot believe I’ve never been in before. This is definitely now my favorite cafe in Cardiff. The salads and juices are just divine - simply wonderful x

    Gorgeous little café with healthy veggie food options and ridiculously good quiche 😍

  • 5/5 Sue C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great find. Vegan cake and milk alternatives. Good Vegan choices. Friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Nick Titan A. 11 months ago on Google
    We had salad bowls with 6 toppings how ever I couldn’t have 1 of the toppings (rice) as it has nuts in it. I feel that it would be better and safer to remove the nuts and have them in a separate bowl as another topping. Also I wouldn’t say it’s wheelchair accessible.(space to move)

  • 1/5 Ruth T. 10 months ago on Google
    Unhygienic and terrible service. I had the questions for my order barked at me with no pleasantries. I asked for a slice of pie/quiche and a salad. I wasn't told the pie came with salad so consequently I didn't need to buy another salad. The salad didn't have any labels so I asked what they were. The woman serving was not happy about this. Then I had to ask if they had a salad dressing and she absolutely drowned it in dressing, so I was unable to eat the salad as the dressing was so powerful. The spoon handles for the salad were left in the actual salad itself, meaning anyone that had touched it, had then spread germs into the salad. Definitely not returning.

    Three bites I had to stop and take a picture. The hummus is one of the best I have tasted. And I’ve eaten a lot of hummus 🤣. Highly recommend.

  • 1/5 Gui Salinas (. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst customer service, owners or managers are rude, not attentive or friendly whatsoever. A pity because the food is ok, but I never felt welcome, it's like you are an annoyance and they are doing you a favour. Nothing against the employees (that seems to change constantly as I've never seen the same people twice)

  • 5/5 mrgarrytoo 2 years ago on Google
    Five star food with five star service 😋

  • 5/5 cosy h. 2 years ago on Google
    Always know what you’ll get here. Quality and service always excellent and never falters. I go here whenever I need to eat healthy at a good price and in a non pretentious environment,

  • 2/5 Tom C. 1 year ago on Google
    Music good....and the biscuits that came with the coffee...but other than that...the coffee was watery and undrinkable, the Mayonnaise was watery enough to pour and the avocado seemed also watery. Everything was watery! Such a shame as we looked forward to it and these things are easily fixable. Central veggie cafe should be great!

  • 5/5 DemonTom360 (. 1 year ago on Google
    Just amazing, great food. A hidden gem to find.

  • 2/5 Vicki H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointing that they serve average smoothies in disposable plastic rather than a reusuable glass. Average food as well, porridge good but American hash browns didn't really resemble what you would expect.

  • 1/5 Alys B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really disappointed with breakfast today. First of all, told abruptly that there were no eggs florentine as there was no hollandaise sauce. No apology. Then, the vegan breakfast was so pathetically stingy that you get NO toast, and have to choose EITHER mushrooms OR beans. Yes, either/or. Not both. With a vegan breakfast!!! Two of the most important vegan components!!! So tight!! Oh, and the so-called hash browns are nothing of the sort. Just sliced, cooked potatoes with no flavour. No crispy hash browns. And no sauces offered. And it cost £6.45!!! Yet was very bland and cheap-tasting. #rip-off!!! It's a shame, as Crumbs used to be THE place for veggie food. However, the truth is, for half the price you get much better at Wetherspoons. And there are plenty of other veggie/vegan food outlets in the centre of Cardiff waiting in the wings, so will visit those from now on.

    Had lunch here on a Saturday in town & was really looking forward to a salad bowl. Not sure if they were just low on supplies but the 6 salad bowls were very uninspiring - one was just grated cheese, another just grated carrot. 1 was coleslaw, another was just lettuce & tomato. Only 2 were a bit more exciting - a red cabbage dish & a rice salad with some peanuts in it. It honestly felt like a throwback to the 80s. No herbs or anything to add a bit of zing & freshness. The falafel I had on top was a bit dry. Nothing I felt I could complain about but there are so many amazing salads you can do i felt really disappointed.

  • 5/5 Paul L. 2 years ago on Google
    We were recommended this charming cafe and I will be doing the same. I had a delicious jacket potato with tuna and salad, followed by a white chocolate and raspberry cake plus a pot of tea. Friendly service and a delightful atmosphere make this a definite respite from shopping!

  • 5/5 Ros B. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm into my 4th decade of eating crumbs salads - they haven't changed and are always excellent
