    Fantastic selection of herbs, spices, chillies, teas, and more. One of the few places you can find high quality whole dried chillies, with an excellent range and quality.

    Great advice on spices and teas. Better prices than other shops too and they make a tasty pakora! Went back the next day to get more tea it was that nice.

    Clancy’s is the best place in Cardiff for herbs and spices, they sell a wide selection of them and their own blends too. I can always find whatever I need here and they’re reasonably priced too. There’s also a great selection of dried chillies that we’ve enjoyed over the years from mild through to the really hot varieties. An interesting and nice selection of teas as well. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

    Irresistible vegan food! Visited twice today, once alone and then with my partner. The shop is so easy to find, just follow the aroma of herbs and spices in the Central Market. ;) They also sell organic herbs, spices, teas, masalas, matcha tea set and many more from around the world. :D

    We always come here for our herbs and spices. Superb range available and quality always good. Called in today and stocked up. Had great chat to guy who was serving who even gave us a free taster of harissa to try. Cannot fault Clancy's.

    Discovered this hidden gem on a recent trip to Cardiff. The tea blends are awesome and prices are very reasonable. Loved the teas so much I asked about a mail order and they were helpful and obliging. Love this place, go check them out!

    This place is a real gem in the city centre. There’s a wide array of spices, herbs and teas- so many it was hard to choose what to get. The lady who served me was very smiley and helpful so will definitely come back when next in the city.

    Incredible selection of herbs and spices. The owners are really helpful and the delivery service is perfect. Best place I know of in the UK for variety, anything I've wanted they've had

    Repeatedly I have been served spoilt pies. I have gone back to them and they have offered to replace or refund me. This was the case at the end of the week However as this has happened repeatedly I'm not impressed as I have stomach problems. Also noticed then that vegan items are placed touching non vegan dairy/egg products and they use the same tong. When requesting them to separate the vegan food and use separate tongs I was argued with that they don't see it as an issue ad apparently the outer surfaces of non vegan items are suitable for vegans and no one else has complaint. Three male staff in particular have mentioned this and we're quite rude not open to consideration nor respecting vegans point of view. If a non vegetarian business placed a vegetarian pie on top of a pork pie with the justification that the pastry of the pie is vegetarian will not gel with people. Animal fats ooze through the pastry on cooking. This is not cool. I have had meat eating places more considerate of this so I am really appauled that a vegetarian business can be so disrespecting. Seriously won't hurt buying a £1 tong to be used separately, separate the vegan food and training staff to be customer centric and polite. My review will not change till they respect treating vegan food the way the Vegan Society does. ....... 22/12/2015: The stall has alot of interesting spices you don't easily get in a grocery store. They have a few options to snack and eat which are quite affordable. We tried the burger which we found to be dry, the coconut bonbon which lacked flavour, the sausage roll which was bland, the lentil balls which were oldly sweet and the falafel wrap which was ok. I feel the food they have needs improvement. They lack flavour, are bland and cold. Would prefer that they serve the dhall they have with rice. It would be nice they consider gluten free wraps and breads too.
