As a student from another country like myself, relocating to a new city and locating an appropriate place to study can be a challenging endeavour. The city of Cardiff, which has a thriving student population, provides a wide variety of options when it comes to cafes to choose from. My standards, on the other hand, go well beyond a simple cup of coffee because I’m a student.\u00a0 After visiting a number of different coffee shops, I’ve narrowed down my recommendations for the top study spots in Cardiff to the following:<\/p>\n
Waterloo Tea<\/a> – This cosy caf\u00e9 in the city centre is my go-to for studying. It has a chilled-out vibe with calm music, comfy armchairs, and lots of students working away. The long wooden tables are perfect for spreading out textbooks and laptops. There are plenty of power outlets along the wall, and the Wi-Fi is free and fast. And with over 80 loose-leaf teas and freshly made sandwiches and cakes, you\u2019re sure to find energizing study fuel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Plan<\/a> – Tucked away on Morgan Arcade, this quiet caf\u00e9 has a light-filled room at the back that’s ideal for settling in to study for hours. The tables are generously spaced, and they have cushy armchairs too. Free Wi-Fi and multiple power outlets make it easy to get work done. Food-wise, you can\u2019t beat their epic all-day breakfasts and coffee from local roaster The Coffee Corner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Milgi<\/a> – This vegetarian caf\u00e9 in Roath has an artsy, laidback vibe perfect for studying solo or with friends. There\u2019s funky music, cool books to browse and comfy sofas and benches. The back room tends to be quiet if you need to zone in with textbooks. One of my go-to orders is their avocado and hummus toast with one of their fresh juices or smoothies to power through study blocks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
