It brings us so much joy to open in new neighbourhoods - and this one is truly special.
In tribute to our beautiful Labrador behind it all, this is Dylan's Lab - nestled near the wonderful Llandaff fields where he enjoyed his first and last walks; where his warmth and joy inspired our Coffi Lab story.
"Pontcanna was always meant to be our first Lab and it means so much to be opening in our home neighbourhood. This space is a tribute to Dylan - my beloved Fox Red Labrador and best friend, who embodied all the beautiful virtues that guide everything Coffi Lab is today." - James Shapland, Founder
After years of searching, we found our pawfect home. A cosy gathering spot to bring people together for small moments of happiness. A place to meet, relax and enjoy the simple things - with four-legged companions always welcome.
Wonderful street artist Bradley Woods has helped us honour Dylan's memory in the most beautiful way. You'll spot a huge mural of Dylan from as far as Llandaff Fields, capturing him in the very place where he inspired Coffi Lab. Bradley brought his image to life in just a few days, and we're enormously grateful for his incredible work on this special touch.
At the Lab, you'll find our signature Fox Red roast and artisan house-baked goods (including our much-loved Crwfins®!) and of course, delicious treats for your furry friends. Every detail is crafted with care and love for you to enjoy a cosy home away from home.
Beyond coffee, with every new opening we continue to do all we can for our wonderful charity partner Guide Dogs.
"While Labradors have given me tremendous joy, I am mindful of how they can literally be saviours to people where they need it most. So we raise money and awareness for this fabulous cause." - James
We were over the moon to raise a record £5,000 for the charity with Pontcanna's opening day proceeds. It was humbling to have so many volunteers and their gorgeous guide dogs to join us for the day. And to see all our lovely customers and beautiful floofs come to support us.
It truly means the world to have welcomed so many of you through our doors already. And we just know our boy Dylan is looking down with a smile and a wagging tail.
Pop down to Pontcanna to enjoy the simple things - we can't wait to see you!
