Jaspers Tea Rooms

I like to go places for tea and coffee, be it for a gossip, or for pure indulgence with book or notebook or both. Jaspers is one of those places — a busy restaurant with 50 seats, located in a maze of small rooms which were originally the downstairs of several small cottages. On fine days you can also take advantage of the pleasant courtyard garden.
Jaspers serves breakfast, morning coffee, light lunches and afternoon tea and cakes. So whether you want tea, toasties or lasagne come and have your fill here. They don’t use the best ingredients, they aint the cheapest, but along with the delightful décor, they will satisfy your hunger.

Jaspers has everything you would expect from a traditional tea house, tea for one but also a small array of snakes including cakes and scones. Personally I do think is more for the older generation I mean that shouldn’t put people off going as it is fairly quaint and like Sarah has pointed out Jaspers is in prime location for people who are visiting Llandaff Cathedral. As far as the younger generation are concerned I’m not convinced there will be a new fashion statement to visit a tea house yet by all means if you finds yourself in the Llandaff area take trip, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Until recently this was the location of Town and Country, and I was somewhat upset to see it go. However a recent visit to Jaspers has certainly lessened the blow, and I can’t deny that it is certainly an asset to Llandaff village.
Jaspers is primarily a tea rooms, and whilst many of the cliental are in their senior years, they do get some young faces through door, after all afternoon tea has become awfully trendy! However they also serve light dishes, such as sandwiches and jacket potatoes, or just even just a piece of cake. Speaking of cakes Jaspers also has a cake ordering service, and I’m told they’re delicious.
Having been slightly spoilt with my previous afternoon tea experiences (quite a few London hotels, and the Pump Rooms in Bath) I was initially slightly disappointed with what Jaspers had to offer. Afternoon Tea here is quaint rather than fancy, however the sandwiches, cakes, and scones were all perfectly lovely and I found the portion sizes just right (other places seem to give far too much, and you inevitably end up leaving food). Also expect to pay considerably less here than you would at a London hotel.
As of yet I haven’t found anywhere else in Cardiff where a set afternoon tea is available (though there’s bound to be somewhere), I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Jaspers. I imagine it would be particularly welcome to tourists visiting Llandaff Cathedral (which is practically on its doorstep). Finally the menu is bilingual which is certainly a nice touch.
