When you work in the city centre, one thing you are never short of is somewhere to go at lunchtime, thanks to the likes of Cardiff Indoor Market and a handful of sandwich shops dotted around the city centre. But, if I'm being honest, there can never be too much choice.

Da has replaced Milk & Sugar, which closed down in April 2022 after saying the venue couldn't be made viable. Would Da match its predecessor's delicious offerings? Would the coffee be as good? Would the vibe be as welcoming and just lovely? Spoiler alert: it was. For more what's on stories, sign up for our newsletter here.
