Rank 3. Longa Turkish Café
Turkish Café
Longa is a Turkish breakfast café in Heath where the plan is always a quick bite and the morning disappears anyway. The menemen arrives bubbling in a copper pan with a basket of warm sesame simit for scooping. The room is bright and mismatched, with a shelf of Istanbul travel books and Turkish Mr Men at the back. Weekends mean dogs, prams, and people hovering over your table, so settle in and order another tea.

Rank 3. Milkwood
Café
Milkwood is a Pontcanna bakery and cafe where upstairs feels like a friend's living room, with a fireplace, big windows, and wood floors, and downstairs has a small terrace for the street. Brunch leans Welsh, so expect cockles on toast and warm bara brith. Weekend queues run long, which is how a quick breakfast turns into an afternoon with a book. Weekend evenings bring wine and pizza, for the committed.
