Barkers Tea House

I required a gluten free afternoon tea and the staff provided me with a lovely selection. The venue has a great nostalgic feel. The staff are very accommodating and helpful. Slight miscommunication, but that was as much my error as theirs. When I booked I explained that I was gluten free but that my daughter wasn't. I assumed we would get half and half gf and ordinary but everything was gf. This was fine for me but not so good for my daughter. The staff member who served us offered to make her some ordinary sandwiches but she didn't like to cause a fuss at that point. We both enjoyed the breakfast tea. We had the whole of the upstairs to ourselves which felt quite special too. I will definately go again and I would recommend to others as a great place to go with good quality food and helpful friendly staff.

Gluten free scones, brownies, and cake here to enjoy with your afternoon tea. Great tea selection, I enjoyed the oolong tea best. They have great outdoor seating and soft cozy chairs inside as well. Really cool old building, great staff, and quick service. You pick a table and order at the counter, they bring your order to you. We stopped here twice for afternoon tea while staying in cardiff, the tea being the spotlight here, the gluten free food options were just okay as most GF food is sort of dry and bland but they do have the options which is a huge plus. Great looking tea sandwiches which I was told were delicious.
