Great place for a bite to eat and a drink after a walk around the lake or just to meet up with friends for a chat.
I recommend any of the panini and the hot chocolate .. �
Hi, Me and my daughter Ayla arrived this afternoon for lunch. first impressions of your place is absolutely fantastic. The staff at this business are a ture credit to you. I did ask to speak to the Owner of the business but he was not in today, however i did speak to the lovely manager she was fantatic. Customer service is brilliant. The staff made us very welcome not many places like this in Cardiff especially when you arrive with a child! So what's the food like?
Very nice and good service. But most of all the best thing about this place is the baby changing room lol! 5 star service if you have a baby or a young child. Thank you very much.☺ Nick you must give your brilliant staff a pay rise! ☺
The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble...Brenda is a star � so are the others but I don't know everyone's names...The cakes are awesome and Shan shortbread is melt in the mouth......difficult to choose so I go often and sample everything eventually, never disappointed �
Great cup of tea in nice real cups and teapot with real tea leaves, lovely cakes, great view and very friendly staff.
Just had lunch at Terra Nova and I have to say, it was just lovely! The food was delicious (awesome chips BTW!) and the new coffee menu is a welcome addition - the caramel latte was gorgeous! Serious bonus points for the baby changing section where they offer (for a voluntary donation) everything you might need/have forgotten to bring, from jars of baby food and wipes to Savlon and children's plasters! There was even a bottle of Dettol spray to wipe down the changing mat! All in all very impressed, keep up the great work!
Never been before even though it's near to home. Lovely venue, friendly staff, nice selection of food plus a fantastic array of delicious cakes. Also great view of the lake.
Lovely place to be, GREAT food and staff are always welcoming

Such a lovely cafe. Helpful & considerate staff :). I will be coming back again.
Had my surprise 30th birthday party here last night and it could not have gone better! The food was great, the facilities they offered were all you could need, and Nick and the staff were so friendly. I really can’t recommend Terra Nova enough. Thank you!
One of the most aesthetic places I've been to at Cardiff. Situated right next to Roath lake you get to have a lovely view of the lake and the swans. The staff was great and the coffee and cake I had came up to £6.6 so it was reasonably priced. I had a cappuccino which was decent however the carrot cake I had was kinda of bland and hard to eat. The icing was hard and basically fell apart when I tried to eat it. I'm definitely coming again but will get myself a sweet treat elsewhere! A must go for a relaxing afternoon Coffee/Tea after a good stroll in the park.
I recently had my 30th birthday at the Terra Nova - such a cool venue for a party, especially at night when it’s all lit up with fairy lights and candles! Christina was really helpful in the planning and the evening ran super smoothly with lovely staff. Great range of pizzas served with lovely salads and plenty of chips with a really good drinks menu too. My guests enjoyed their welcome drink which was a lovely touch. Highly recommend for a party venue!
Lovely place for a lovely coffee with the grandchildren and the children meals are lovely a bit expensive but a treat now and then will be back again lovely staff and very busy
Love this cafe. It’s so friendly, so helpful, stunning views. All staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious, the pizzas are divine and their bacon sarnies after a walk round the lake. Super clean and perfect service. Took my mother in law and sister in law for lunch and they both loved it. Served by lovely Jan who was incredibly friendly. What a beautiful place. I’ve also taken my husband in there before, he is in a wheelchair and the staff were super helpful and great access. Thanks so much, highly recommend.
Another fantastic visit to the Terra nova cafe to be in a great atmosphere and around the fantastic staff that always give an amazing service. Sampled the breakfast menu this time and blown away by the quality of the food, the price was amazing.
Would I return ? 100 percent yes, I only wish I lived closer to be able to enjoy the breakfast menu more and more
Great views across Roath Park and the water here. The price of the food is very reasonable and the size of the potions were generous. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted really good. They also have amazing hot chocolate flavours such as black forest and coconut 😍
The best Custard slice for miles!! Swilled down with a hot chocolate... yummy scrummy
Beautifully located cafe. Great food at reasonable prices and wonderful service. A fantastic experience to be shared with family and friends. The ham and mushroom pizza was to die for. Lovely stuff!
Visited today. Simply wonderful in every way. Staff are helpful and friendly, food is reasonably priced and delicious. It’s a very welcoming place, today there were lots of parent with children, buggies, elderly, dogs. Dogs were barely noticeable because they were all well behaved and under control. I only noticed because I actively looked.
Nice lakeside cafe. Simple choices - panini had good salad I. It & £7 inc chips. . Sandwiches a bit white bread boring . Great looking cakes. Nice spot for gentle lunch .
We came here to meet friends that we haven't seen for a long time (they suggested it as they are temporarily living in Cardiff). Wow. What a find.
We brought our dog with us, and really appreciated how dog friendly this place is (even towels available).
But, the cafe itself was amazing. The food was incredible. We were here for over 4 hours chewing the fat and in that time had several rounds of hot chocolate, pizzas, dirty fries, nachos ... all was spot on.
The staff are lovely, really good interactions with the customers and the location is to die for. Loads of on-street free parking (coming from England, this is really hard to believe).
Overall, 10/10. Amazing.
Nick and the staff were so helpful in letting me film inside the cafe for a university assignment! It was a spontaneous request and they were all very accommodating. A staff member helped as an actor and added a perfect touch to the story.
The atmosphere is lovely looking into the lane and the cauliflower rosti afterwards for lunch was delicious with a divine vegan carrot cake and perfect cappuccino! Thanks so much! I highly recommend
Great little cafe overlooking Roath Park lake. The cafe serves hot and cold food as well as an array of refreshments. When I went there on a Saturday morning it was very busy. I had a toasted panini and an americano.
We recently celebrated my cousins baby shower at Terra Nova by hiring the venue for our private event. It was absolutely perfect, the staff were amazing and very attentive to our needs - special shout out to Jan who went out of her way to ensure we had a great time. The bar was open for us to purchase drinks, lovely g&ts and excellent wine selection! Thank you Nick and the team x
Myself and my partner took a walk around roath park lake. We often take a walk as it is easy to park and free, but never have we gone into the cafe as we never knew it was dog friendly until we spoke to a passer by. So we decided to pop in and have a nice warm drink with our dog on a sunny autumn Sunday. They had a large selection of drinks and hot chocolates with all different choices of syrups. We chose ginger bread latte and hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream which I have to say was delicious. Unfortunately we had just had our lunch, but we looked at the menu and they had a lot of choice and we did see a waitress taking a pizza to the table close by and wow it looked very nice I have to say. We will definitely be back for one of those.
Great spot for lunch and brunch. Food, service and view were excellent
Me & my wife try to come here every couple of week’s!! Amazing food & drinks made fresh & the staff are the best honestly the best crew of people ever!!! Icing on the cake dogs are welcomed the same way people are with open arms can’t say enough about the place that’s why we always come back for more!! Keep up what you’re all doing Terra Nova you’re the best!!!!!!!
