I was delighted to discover the Mosh Pit. It isn't in the main street of Cardiff but well worth a wander around the corner. They sell records and have a very relaxed funky atmosphere (as well as a fun facebook page I've discovered). They also make great coffee and food. Children are welcome there. It is now one of my favorite coffee shops in Newcastle.

The Mosh Pit is a fantastic place, because it is both a cafe and a record store. The service is lovely, as the store clerk constantly offers to help find a record for you. The place itself is well kept and is a great idea. I highly recommend checking out this store/cafe.

Dropped in for a pumpkin soup on a cold winter day, served by friendly barista/sales assistant. Soup was delicious, and hot. Made previously and stored in a slow cooker, constantly warming. Absolutely delicious A+
