Find bakes but expensive - Edit
They didn’t have a looot of choices when I went there, and it was rather pricy. One macaron for £2,50, I think. It was a big macaron but still. The flavour didn’t really come through, the sweet taste was overwhelming. But the chocolate filled bear was amazing, and what’s a plus is they take cash. Not a matter of course these days.

Amazing all-vegan café - Edit
This all-vegan café serves amazing hot chocolate and donuts. Probably the best vegan donuts I've ever had besides Brammibal's in Berlin. It's super cozy and the staff is friendly as well.

The doughnuts are so amazing and I love that they have so many different options every time I go, the only downsides are that they’re a little bit pricey and there never seems to be any room to sit down!

Great! - Edit
This is one of the best, if not the absolute best vegan spots in Cardiff.
Read moreI’ve personally raved to the owner and staff about how great the food is.
They do one of the best breaded and fried tofu’s in the world.
Their Korean BBQ tofu sandwich is easily on my top 10 vegan sandwiches in the world right now.
Funny enough the doughnuts are good, some better than others but after Doughnut Friend in Los Angeles, it’s very hard finding a vegan doughnut that could even come close, they almost do, but it’s their cooked food that really shines here.
Oh and also the best oat-milk flat white in town!!!

Blanche brilliance!! - Edit
Well, I live in Cardiff 6 months each year to film “A Discovery of Witches” and I just discovered Blanche this season. Instead of eating the shows catering for lunch I’ve been getting Blanche delivered EVERY DAY to set. I get a vegan donut (I love the salted caramel) and the Korean tofu sandwich & fries. I also love the vegan mac n cheese, it’s the best I’ve ever had with seasoned coconut bacon on top. Seriously mouth watering. This place has made our stay in Cardiff so enjoyable. It’s also a very cool space and not only does it have incredible Vegan sweets the WHOLE menu is fantastic and my favourite in Cardiff. These eats are some of the best vegan meals I’ve had worldwide. Well done guys! See you next season! ❤️
Read morePros: Tons of creative food options , LOVELY staff, Very cool vibe
Cons: The table sizes are a little small

Delicious coffee & doughnuts! - Edit
Great find in Cardiff - worth a visit for the doughnuts! Today they had 6 flavour options (everything in the place is vegan). The doughnuts were all nut-free but made in a kitchen using nuts. Really fresh and tasty, brought some home to eat tomorrow too! Coffee was lovely, and I overheard another customer telling the staff it was the best mac’n’cheese she’d ever tasted!

Pros: The doughnuts!!
Cons: Parking is difficult,I had to park 2 streets away

VERY DELICIOUS VEGAN DONUTS - Edit
Superb staff and absolutely amazing donuts. They keep their choices varied throughout the year, which means there is almost always something different on the menu each time you go. I’m pretty sure they also do brunch as well now!! A little pricey, but when you’re supporting a local business that doesn’t matter.

Amazing donuts - Edit
Huge selection of donuts and they are so good! Love the French toast one. They also have baguettes/toasties which look really good but I haven’t tried them. The strawberry latte is amazing! Annoying that they don’t open till 1pm as it would be great for brunch.
Read morePros: Amazing donuts , Huge selection, Good selection of baguettes as well
Cons: Doesn’t open till 1pm, A bit out of the way when you’re in town

Beautiful cupcakes - Edit
Been to the Blanche coffee shop twice now. They make some lovely sandwiches. We liked the chicken mayo; maple coconut bacon and cheese seitan toasties. Enjoyed the hot chocolate in oat milk. Love the chocolate chip cookies and the double chocolate cupcakes. Amy and Remed are just lovely. So delightfull to see their jolly happy spirits. Must visit Cardiff's 1st Vegan Coffee shop!
Read moreThey were so kind to reserve a table for my friends and I. There is place to sit inside for about 16 people.
Just great to be at a place and not ask if things are vegan.
..........
I have seen Blanche at vegan events like Ab Fab Vegan Fayre and the Cardiff Viva! Vegan Festival. Amy is a Sweetheart. The cupcakes are just beautiful, however I found it a bit pricy. I got to try one finally at Viva! Fest and found that the flavour needed some improvement.

Delicious vegan food! - Edit
I'd tried a few cupcakes at vegan events and pop ups, but only just managed to get to the newly opened bakery. I went with a group and between us we had a couple of toasties, cupcakes and a mixture or teas and coffees. The cheese toasties had the best vegan cheese that my friend and I had ever had and the seitan was really tasty. We had cookie dough and chai latte cupcakes which were both lovely, and enjoyed by non-vegans in our group. The flat whites and lattes made with oat milk were incredible, and there is a great selection of teas. The prices are really reasonable for the quality of the food, and are comparable with other cafes in the area, which is great when a lot of "specialist" food carries a premium. I look forward to coming again when I am next in Cardiff to try one of the donuts!

excellent cupcakes and brownies - Edit
saw these fab guys at the ab fab fair in Cardiff. I believe you can also pick up some of their brownies from barkers tearooms. all cakes are vegan and absolutely delicious. the couple are friendly and helpful. one thing I love about blanche is that their menu changes regularly so you always have something different to try. would love them to do a subscription box because I'd adore having a surprise monthly treat from them. keep up the delicious yumminess.
