Is tea officially taking over as Cardiff’s favourite pick-me-up? ☕️🍃

While we love a caffeine kick, Waterloo Tea is making a serious case; our pick is their matcha, spiced Christmas tea, and a perfectly extracted espresso.

Since opening in 2008, Waterloo Tea has been a passionate champion of "real" food, meaning you’ll find no processed ingredients, chemicals, or preservatives here, just fresh, homemade goodness😋

Locations:
📍Penylan & Penarth (8:30 am–4:30 pm)

POP MART is rumoured to be opening in St David’s 2 in 2026… and if true, (our sources are strong!) it would be Wales’ first POP MART store.

Blind boxes. Designer toys. Collectors already on high alert.

St David’s 2 just keeps levelling up ✨
