Timeline
14:00
Grab a coffee at Quantum Coffee Roasters. It is just a short walk from the Pierhead building and opens early enough to catch the afternoon light without the rush.
14:15
Browse the Craft in the Bay Gallery. This art shop is located at the south end of Lloyd George Avenue, right next to the waterfront path, offering a quiet moment to look at local exhibitions.
14:45
Head to Lookout Cafe and Bar for a drink and a view. It stays open late, so it is perfect for settling in as the afternoon light softens over the bay.
Local tip
The Pierhead building is a striking contrast between Cardiff's industrial past and its modern development. Keep an eye on the weather, as the bay area can be windy.
