Plans for a new dog-friendly coffee shop in Rhiwbina have been submitted to Cardiff council. The plans, submitted on behalf of Coffi Lab, propose to transform a former betting shop on Heol-y-Deri into a modern coffee shop.
Coffi Lab, which has already opened branches in Llandaff and Whitchurch in the past year, has now submitted plans to change the use of a vacant betting shop on Heol-y-Deri to a café, with ground floor and outdoor seating. The coffee shop would be open 7.30am to 5.30pm between Monday and Friday, 8am to 5.30pm on Saturdays, and 9am to 5pm on Sundays.
The dog-friendly coffee shop already has locations in Abergavenny, Monmouth, and Marlborough, and was set up by Coffee #1 founder and Cardiff native James Shapland. After opening its first Cardiff site in Llandaff in November 21, an announcement appeared on Coffi Lab's social media to say that it would be opening on Penlline Road in Whitchurch on February 26.
