What to order
Coffee is the starting point, made to order from freshly ground speciality beans. The bigger draw for many is the dessert counter and gelato cabinet, with handmade gelato and vegan sorbet alongside cakes and sweet plates. Savoury food is served through the day too, so it works for a late breakfast or a light lunch as well as an evening treat.
When it suits
Because it stays open late, Bru is one of the easier places in the centre to get coffee and dessert after a film or dinner, when many daytime cafés have shut. In the day it's a shopping break halfway along Queen Street. The brand runs a loyalty app if you're in town for a few days. Families find it an easy treat stop, and the gelato counter suits a warm afternoon on the shopping streets.
Nearby
Queen Street runs between the castle end of the centre and the Capitol shopping area. Cardiff Cathedral of St David, the city's Catholic cathedral on Charles Street, is a couple of minutes' walk, as is The Cardiff Arms. National Museum Cardiff and the civic centre gardens are about ten minutes north.
