KIN+ILK, St Davids

KIN+ILK St David's is our Cardiff city centre coffee shop, located on The Hayes next to Cosy Club - one of the most central spots in the city for speciality coffee. Originally launched as a pop-up in St David's Shopping Centre, we opened this permanent location in 2020 and it's been a Cardiff coffee staple ever since.

Here you'll find our direct trade coffee, Finca El Corozo - sourced directly from Fernando Lima's farm in El Salvador - alongside a rotating selection of guest coffees from some of the most exciting specialty roasteries in the UK. Whether you're a filter purist or an espresso devotee, there's always something worth trying.

St David's is open seven days a week with extended evening hours, making it one of the few specialty coffee shops in Cardiff city centre open late. It's a great spot to work, meet friends, or take a proper break from the shops.
