Best in Cardiff! - Edit
Found this gem via Happy Cow. This cute cafe has great ratings and they certainly did not disappoint. Delicious vegan food, great drinks, and very friendly staff. It was a pleasure to dine here, my husband and I will definitely be back when we visit Cardiff. Thanks so much! :) Peace and blessings.

Fantastic Place - Edit
My partner and I had a delicious dinner here 2 days back. We had avocado and chocolate cake; ginger and lime mocktale; beetroot and asparagus hash; and spicy roots with fried potato wedges.The food burst flavours in our mouths. One of the best tasting food I have eaten. Absolutely recommend!
Read moreThe owner, Adam is very friendly and talks to his customers. He has keen interest in organic food and the food in the restuarant is about 70% organic. I art on the walls are beautifully crafted.
Pros: Delicious Food, 100% Vegan!
Cons: Limited Menu

What a treat - Edit
At last...a first class top quality vegan restaurant for Cardiff. This place is a treat in both food and surroundings. Every vegan within 30 miles should make this place a regular watering hole as it deserves our support. Food choice is interesting, imaginative and varied. Meals are generous in portion size and nicely presented. The restaurant is underpinned by a wholly ethical approach to cuisine. Staff are warm and friendly and enthusiastic. Surroundings do have a gentle religious theme but it is not in any way dominant, moreover hidden behind clever art. This place is a gem and is wholly and entirely vegan
Read morePros: Choice of food, Quality of cuisine , Standard of service
Cons: Location-can be difficult to park

Worth the detour - Edit
My partner and I visited Anna Loka on our way to the Brecons from London. I believe it's still relatively new, but it was obvious that it was doing busy from the number of people eating there.
Read moreIt's nicely decorated, with an interesting vegan menu. I get tired of seeing the same dishes being served at many vegan restaurants, so it was great to see that this place had some different dishes. I went for the open tofu satay sandwich, which was very tasty. The cakes looked good and we regretted not getting any. I also wanted to check out the scones and tea - next time!!
The staff, including the owner, were all very friendly and the cafe had a nice atmosphere. I hope this place continues to do well.
We'll definitely be back when we're passing Cardiff next time.

Best Restaurant in Cardiff! - Edit
This is my favorite restaurant in Cardiff. 100% vegan, and the food is absolutely delicious. The Anna Loka is for vegans and meat-eaters alike. Sweet potato gnocchi is my favorite thing on the menu. So thankful to have a 100% vegan restaurant locally!
Read morePros: all-vegan delicious menu, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

An enthusiastic and interesting vegan restaurant - Edit
We only just made it here, currently. They are closing at 7pm not 9.30'as the online info suggests. Luckily we phoned at 6.15 to book a table and ended up doing a brisk walk to get or orders in before the kitchen closed. Lots of signs were not good from the place being empty, to the wobbly toilet but we had a great experience. This was in no small part due to the very friendly owner and staff who made up for the lack of choices left on the hard to read daily menu (they need to add a spotlight or two!). Inspired by Krishna food ideas Anna Loka is a cool looking ethically motivated restaurant. The decor is clever and interesting. The kitchen is open. The menu changes so recommendations are obsolete but their homemade bean sausage was very impressive.
Read moreThe chef,s were on hand to advise on ingredients and adapt to our special requests which is always a good sign. I,d have appreciated more than one sugar free dessert option but given that this was the first I came across in Cardiff the raw chocolate brownie was a real treat and well made.
Anna Loka is recovering from start up and staffing issues, we wish them well "we" we're both impressed, and shall come back next time ita
Pros: friendly all vegan interesting. different, moderately priced
Cons: they forgot our sweet potato chips but they were a, a short walk outta town

Awesome breakfast - Edit
Unfortunately I could go to Anna Loka only once. The breakfast was amazing. It was a real British breakfast including "ham" and "eggs" and sausages.
Read moreAs I am from Berlin I really felt like home- the restaurant looks like an urban industrial shabby chic place to be.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
I ll come back, I promise!
Pros: breakfast , friendly staff , good atmosphere
Cons: no outdoor seats

Kombucha heaven - Edit
I have eaten at Anna Loka twice now and will be going back regularly. The chia pancakes are the best gluten free pancakes that I have tasted and the middle eastern breakfast was a wonderful combination of flavours. One of my favourite things about this place, other than it being totally vegan, is the kombucha. It's so refreshing to find a place that doesn't serve alcohol. The kombucha ice cream is a must try. Not only is the food great but the staff are so passionate about what they are doing, this is totally reflected in the quality of the food. A great place to go for a meal.
Read morePros: vegan, kombucha, passionate staff

Worth the trip - Edit
We were in Cardiff for the Rugby World Cup (Australia v Fiji) and sought this place out for lunch before the match. I think it opened recently, nicely decorated and a nice ambience. My girlfriend opted for a "meaty" pizza and I had the pulled seitan buns. Both of us were delighted with what we had although seeing a neighbouring table get the breakfast burrito made me wish I didn't live a 6 hour drive away.

Fantastic! - Edit
My boyfriend and I visited Anna Loka during a short visit to Cardiff last week. They had absolutely loads of vegan brunch options including scrambled tofu, "sausage" and pancakes.
Read moreWe opted for the roast dinner which was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted really fresh and healthy. We had a nut roast covered in a generous amount of "pulled pork" and a spicy tomato sauce with veggies on the side. We then had a peanut butter and dark chocolate reece's style cake with a raw vanilla sauce. YUM.
Will definitely be returning when I am home next!
Pros: Friendly service, 100 % vegan, delicious food
