Another amazing find in Cardiff Bay thanks to GourmetGorro’s blog, “Sunflower and I” is an old bank branch office in Mount Stuart Square which has been lovingly converted into a combination flower shop and coffee shop which also hosts ad hoc opera/cabaret events.
The interior is an Aladdin’s Cave of bric-a-brac, chandeliers, beer pumps, paintings and sketches and all sorts of wonders.
When we arrived the owner was in the middle of prepping flowers for a wedding but he broke off to prepare our food and then chatted with us for ages about life, love and Kaiser Rolls – of which we had two (ham and cheese salad variety – lovingly made in a local Polish bakery).
We also shared Sponge Omelet – which sounds dodgy but was aaaaamazing. Folded light-as-air sponge filled with vanilla custard and cherry jam.
Sat in a cosy corner we absolutely loved our post-run coffee, brunch and chat with the owner.
Another fab indie cafe for the bay and an utter delight.
We’re looking forward to going back already.
