The market-hatch visit
The operator describes a compact espresso hatch in Cardiff Central Market, focused on coffee and cookies. Use this branch for a city-centre coffee stop within the market. The Canton café’s breakfast menu and table-booking offer belong to that separate site.
Current Market timetable
Hard Lines now publishes Monday–Friday 08:30–15:30 and Saturday 09:00–16:00 for the Market. Sunday hours are not listed. The address is 23–25 Central Market, Cardiff CF10 1AU; do not borrow Sunday opening from the Canton café.
Welsh roasting beyond the hatch
The wider business roasts at Gwaelod y Garth. Its roastery retail timetable and Canton café hours are separate from the Market hatch, while the brand’s coffee ranges support brewing at home.
