A well-loved Cardiff cafe has closed for good with plans for a dog-friendly spot to take its place. Kemi's in Pontcanna has long been a popular venue, and despite moving locations a few times, has been around in the capital for more than 20 years.
But Kemi Nevins, 60, who runs the business with her son Patrick Nevins, 31, said that it's time for them to move on. She said: "I started the first café in Mill Lane in 1999 until 2002, then Craft in the Bay until 2012, and Pontcanna since then.
"Patrick took over about eight years ago and it's gone really well. With Covid, we were able to adapt really quickly but in a way it was quite draining. We were constantly reinventing ourselves and re-designed how we worked, our menus and so on."
