Waterloo Tea in city centre of Cardiff.
As soon as we saw this site we were in love.
Determined to not stand still, and to maintain our development, we have introduced a couple of new features.
We have moved table service. Although in our previous shops we have always had the mantra of "customers should not queue", here we will seat guests and attend to them at their tables.
We have a much more involved food menu. More breakfasts, lunches and treats. Our back of house staff outnumber the front of house!
The teahouse is split over two floors. The upstairs seating area is perfect for private functions for up to 20 guests.
Similar to the other teahouses, we have an art gallery which showcases stunning work.
The teahouse is licensed and can be booked out for private events in the evenings - a beautiful setting in what becomes a private historical arcade.
We hope we are able to push the boundaries of what a cafe can be, and again are aiming to reset the benchmark for the definition of 'popping out for a cuppa'.
