A natural meeting point in the heart of Cardiff.

As the third and final instalment of the Brodies Coffee Co. journey, The Wall at West Lodge was always going to be something special. After a period of refurbishment we opened the doors to the public in July 2025.
It’s been a whirlwind, but with each passing month we feel more at home. We’ve met people from every walk of life; tourists heading for the water taxi, office workers grabbing fresh air, runners refuelling, and families enjoying one of Cardiff’s most beautiful green spaces.
Thanks to it's central location, The Wall is a go-to coffee stop for a freshly brewed cortado or a made-to-order breakfast bap on the way to work or class. Got time to sit a while? Then settle in and watch the world go by - you can choose from our downstairs seating with the buzz of the bar, a calm upstairs space overlooking Bute Park or our plentiful outdoor seating - perfect for sunny days in the city.
At weekends The Wall becomes a popular meeting point for run clubs, a favourite stop for visitors exploring Cardiff and a relaxed brunch spot when cooking feels like too much effort. During the week we're perfect for those slower mornings, casual meetings or simply a welcoming space to enjoy a top notch brew and freshly baked treat.
The verdict is in: we love it here.

Why call it "Brodies on the Wall"?

One of Cardiff's most loved quirks is the Animal Wall that runs along Castle Street between Cardiff Castle and West Lodge. Featuring 15 unique animal sculptures, each with it's own personality, it's a must-see for visitors and locals alike. To honour this iconic landmark, we commissioned a bespoke mural by local Cardiff artist Matt Joyce, celebrating the unlikely collaboration between Architect William Burges and Brodies Coffee Co.
If you are interested in the history of the area we have an information board situated upstairs detailing several of The Wall's historic features:
The West Lodge Building
The Decorative Victorian Floor Tiles
The Footings

How to find us

The Wall is located at West Lodge, Bute Park - perfectly positioned between Cardiff Castle's famous Animal Wall and the bridge over the river Taff at the park's West Entrance.
If you are walking or cycling, you'll find us at the City end of Bute Park, with plenty of bike parking nearby.
We are:
2 minutes from Cardiff Castle
2 minutes from the Principality Stadium
5 minutes from Cardiff Central Station
If you are driving in, Sophia Gardens car park is just over the bridge via either Castle Street or the more scenic route through Bute Park itself.
There is also a bus stop directly across the road, making The Wall easy to reach however you choose to travel.
We're open seven days a week, 52 weeks a year (with the exception of Christmas Day).
As Bute Park is gated and opening times change seasonally our hours adjust throughout the year - shorter in Winter and longer in Summer.
Our current opening hours can always be found on Google and across our social media channels.

Events

We are super excited to finally have the opportunity to host a broad range of events, making use of the versatile space The Wall provides; think board game evenings, sip and paints, coffee cuppings, kids craft clubs in the holidays and much much more!
