Milo baguette

You'll find yourself on Cathays Terrace in Cathays, that part of Cardiff where the Victorian terraces still feel lived-in and real. Walk in here and you're greeted with the smell of proper French bread—the kind that actually has a crisp crust and doesn't disappear after two days. It's the sort of place where regulars know what they want before they reach the counter, and newcomers quickly understand why everyone's already got their favourite order locked in. The setup is no-nonsense: good coffee, fresh baguettes, and the kind of straightforward execution that somehow gets overlooked in favour of more Instagram-friendly spots.
