Blue Sky Cafe & Taproom

You'll find yourself tucked behind the Victorian grandeur of Ambassador Hall, in a spot that feels deliberately removed from the High Street hustle. It's the kind of place where they've actually bothered to get the fundamentals right — the coffee arrives properly pulled, the taps rotate through Welsh and craft breweries you won't find everywhere, and the crowd skews towards people who care about what they're drinking rather than just grabbing something between shops. The room has character without trying too hard; exposed brick, decent lighting, and enough space to breathe. Whether you're nursing an espresso or settling in with a pint, there's a genuine neighbourhood feel that's become rarer on this stretch of town.
