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.

Mine and my two boy's 1st time going to Elmer's cafe, and we were greated with so presently by the elder lady on the counter, so polite and professional. The foods so good and good value. We will be back for more great food.

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!

Cardiff's best breakfast place, I'm lucky to have such a great and affordable breakfast next to my student house. I used to pack one for lunch when I was writing my dissertation. The staff are very kind and the quality of the breakfast is very good.

Perfect breakfast. Elmer's has a well-deserved reputation for great food and service.

Amazing food, great service and friendly staff. Lots of regulars so you know they are doing something right. The breakfasts were smashing. I'll definitely be back. Incredible value IMO.

5 stars definitely. Good service and Pretty fair price. A really warm family run restaurant. Would come again.

Really nice food and service. Jus needs more staff and a bigger place.

Greeted by a well dressed, extremely kind gentleman. A really nice guy. Service was excellent and food was great! We had the breakfast which we could substitute anything we didn't want for stuff we did which was ace! Good value food! Excellent customer service. I had veggie breakfast (foreground) with everything it came with on the menu and a really good coffee as well! My girlfriend had the mini breakfast and substituted a couple of items on the menu! Lovely seating area outside at the back as well!

Nothing is too much trouble, customer satisfaction is the oxygen of this amazing cafe. Double breakfast will leave you full all day, top quality food at affordable prices. No wonder they queue out the door. Nice covered garden area too.

Travelled about 5 miles to get to this café and it was well worth it £5.95 for a large breakfast comes with a tea. Unbelievable Price,breakfast was boiling hot, not like most coffees. Definitely recommend it to my mates🎅

Fantastic service. Amazing breakfast. Very busy cafe. Waiting time for food was minimal. Owner could not do enough for us. Will be calling here again very soon

Elmer’s has been a firm favourite of mine for years, I’ll always keep returning, it is definitely the nicest cooked breakfast in Cardiff but also the cheapest, it’s a traditional fry up, always piping hot and plenty of it. I’m yet to try anything else on the menu because every time I visit I’m so tempted to go with what I know I love, the breakfast! 10/10 from me! Definitely give this place a try if you’re looking for outstanding service and food!

By the Far the best cooked breakfast I have ever had. Even the prices are great for the quality of food you get served. Please don't Change a thing!

Fantastic little gem, great value for money and extremely nice staff and regular customers. Group of 8 of us turned up and they were all very accommodating. We had a great value double breakfast for £5.95 which came with toast and a drink...bargain. they also do what looked to be a lovely roast dinner for £8, well worth checking out. A1

What a gorgeous little gem in the capitol of Wales! If you're looking for a good old full breakfast, then Elmers is the place to go! We were on a road trip across the country, and in need of some well-earned fuel before setting off back up north. Finding this delightful cafe just round the corner, we decided to follow our noses and were plentifully rewarded for doing so! The menu at Elmers covers the classic breakfast options, with sandwiches and full plates on offer, as well as several other meals that can cater for other appetites, including pies and roasts. Through the main cafe is an additional seating area, though we stayed in the main shop. Staff are friendly and courteous, working to making everything as delicious as possible. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, we shall certainly be sure to pop in when in Wales next time!

The value of Elmer’s is unmatched in the area, staff are all lovely and I have many fond memories of breakfasts here. The food is of genuinely good quality and they are not too shy with portions. It gets really busy at times, but this is only because it is such a good, unpretentious place.

Best breakfast I've had is here here Definitely worth the money as 5.95 including coffee Definitely be coming here every weekend Spot on

Awesome Cafe.. The Owner is fantastic - The care he takes of his loyal customers is amazing. This was my first visit, but it won't be my last.. Great food, great staff and great prices. Well done

One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a while! We decided to give this cafe a go on our visit to Cardiff as it was only down the road from where we were staying, and we were very impressed! Only £5.25 for a full English breakfast, what a bargain!

Great Quality and Great Value. Not much more to be said. The food especially if your a student is so well priced and the staff are always quick to make sure you have everything you need. Offering bottles of water to take with you for free and always offering a free tea or coffee. The food is always nice, nothing fancy just good well prepared food. Always go for a full breakfast with hash brown and add black pudding. Can't go wrong and if ever wanting food always recommend it to friends and are always going if feeling rough in the morning from the night before.

Amazing roast !! We love it every single time ! Lovely English breakfast too! The staff always so helpful and polite!

Lovely breakfast, would reccommend. - friendly, happy staff - reasonable prices - cash only - outdoor seating -road parking close by (free)

Great atmosphere with an amazing service from some really nice people. Very cheap but the food is top quality. Can't recommend this place enough!!

A fantastic cafe! Had a bacon roll and coffee. Very reasonable price and very quick service. Highly recommended!

Perfect food. It’s been a while since I’ve had breakfast here, but it was so good that I had to think of it. On the last day of my trip to Cardiff a few friends took me here and I definitely advise everyone else to go here too. Great service, not too expensive and delicious!

What a great find! The gentleman behind the til was super friendly and helpful. Also came over to check on us as our first time coming here which was a nice thought and even got some free toast - whats not to love! The food is what you expect when you read the menu - a good proper cooked breakfast and 1000000% we will be going back again. To be honest I'd go every morning if I could. If in doubt, just look at the picture...

On a cold morning Elmers breakfast and coffee ☕soon warmed me up and all served within a few minutes of ordering even though they were busy. I have visited here many times and have never been disappointed. Well done to all at Elmers.

What an amazing breakfast. So reasonably priced. It's run by really friendly staff. There is a little blonde girl on the till how just one little Ray of sunshine. Always happy

Lovely cafe. Excellent service. Was served by the kindest and sweetest staff. We were in Cardiff for a brief visit from Newcastle and had a lovely time !

The best café in Cardiff, without exception. Top notch English Breakfast options, served with a smile and a genuine sense of community care. If you haven't experienced Elmer's Café, you haven't experienced Cardiff!
