Mec is one of those places that is a treasure to be in. Staff are some of the loveliest, most hospitable people ever. Their knowledge around coffee is admirable, they will never hesitate from answering any questions without any pretentiousness! The coffee itself is incredible. The time taken to choose coffee that supports the farmers and the roasteries is very respectable. The community they've adopted in this lovely space is lush, there's always a friendly group of people to talk to, whether it's staff or other regular customers. Mec is a smalls business that refames coffee, goes above and beyond for their customers, and just overall great vibe with a great vinyl collection!

As a coffee obsessed visitor to Cardiff for 1 day, I am so glad that I received a recommendation to visit Mec - a recommendation from another excellent cafe in Cardiff that if I had a limited time, Mec was the place to check out. I had a stellar espresso from their guest bean, but the friendly atmosphere is just as yummy, built up by the decor, the artwork on the wall and the lovely conversations between baristas and clientele. Even if they did struggle with the NYTimes crossword today. They're not all Genesis. Very nice orange cake, did you make that?

Coffee to absolutely blow you away!! This is a bit of a local treasure. Lovely people and atmosphere, vinyl playing and live jazz on Sundays... Also have a handy selection of gifts; plant pots and nice wine... One of our favourite spots in Cardiff

Brilliant knowledgeable staff who are passionate about the beans they’re serving, a nice variety although slightly limited in terms of roasters. I was offered an espresso split in half so that the other half could be enjoyed as a mini flat white at little extra cost and this is something I’ve never been offered all my time drinking coffee and was such a nice idea that really allowed me to see both sides of an absolutely delicious bean. They even gave me a little sample of their batch brew as well! It is little touches like this that set a café apart and Mec absolutely excels. It’s worth a half an hour walk from the city centre just to give this place a visit!!

MEC Coffee lives up to the hype. Pretentious hipster coffee at its absolute best — I felt judged, educated, and caffeinated in all the right ways. The coffee was outstanding, and I somehow ended up in a deeply serious conversation about brewing techniques that changed me as a person. I’ve come out with a strong urge to make my own clothes and chat about neo politics.

Incredible Barista who knows all about the roasts on offer. Gives you a glass of water with your coffees which is a nice touch. Very kind and peaceful. Best place in Cardiff that I've tried for good coffee.

Coffee here is amazing. Also the decaf is some of the best we've ever had!

I really like this place. It didn't get 5 stars because you look on to Crwys Rd (which I feel bad about). The coffee is delicious (a bit on the pricey side) and the pastries are sourced hyper-locally (literally within walking distance). The owner is very friendly and promotes a very relaxed atmosphere. There is good wifi too.
