New café planned for Cathedral Road in Cardiff

Cardiff Council has approved planning permission for converting three ground floor units on Cathedral Road in Pontcanna into a large café or coffee shop. The transformation of the ground floor of 5-7 Avalon House, Cathedral Road was given planning permission earlier in November.

The property will now be turned into a 129-square-foot café or coffee shop, with indoor seating for up to 50 people and extra seats outside. Celtic Energy, the company developing the coffee shop, is now looking to find a tenant to move in and run the shop.

Adam Pearce, estates manager at Celtic Energy, said: "We are delighted that Cardiff Council has recently approved our planning application to the property at 5-7 Cathedral Road. We are hugely excited about this development and are now engaging with local businesses and agents so that we can secure a suitable tenant that will benefit this area of Cathedral Road."

The road has a long history, having originally been used to link two farms together. It's now become one of the capital's more sought-after addresses.

In the past few years it's been a focal point for high end apartments being developed, and there are already a number of office buildings situated on the street. You can read more about the road's evolution here.

Cardiff is home to plenty of great spots for a coffee, and the options are increasing with a well-known independent coffee roaster coming to town and a group of teenagers and young adults learning valuable skills running a coffee shop out of Grangetown Hub.

Celtic Energy hopes to provide more detail on the new Cathedral Road shop when it's available.
