A new cafe catering for those who are intolerant to gluten has just opened its doors in Cardiff. Against the Grain on Merthyr Road in Whitchurch is the city's first completely gluten-free coffee shop and launched at lunchtime on Saturday, June 25.
Started by Frazer Twigg, who previously worked at an energy company, the cafe will serve a selection of coffees and cold drinks, light meals and home-made snacks, all free from gluten with no risk of cross-contamination - something many cafes struggle with.
Speaking of this new and exciting venture, owner and director Frazer explains: "My partner (Chris Thomas) was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease (an intolerance to gluten) in August 2018. It soon became apparent that there aren’t many places in Cardiff that catered for someone with this condition.
