Craft in The Bay is situated across from the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. Set apart on a large road island is a surprisingly old building made of steel, glass and wood. This is mainly a gallery where you can view contemporary craft pieces or exhibitions by members of The Makers Guild in Wales, purchase something -as the gallery also serves as a shop- or attend a craft workshop. The gem for me is Kemis Café (which takes up the other part of the building). The lunch menu is a more wholesome one, freshly made and the salad dishes are put together in a more interesting way and I would definitely recommend trying the salads of the day. The cakes on display are also good. Order downstairs with seating upstairs give a great view of the Millennium Centre building and the Roahl Dahl Plass.

As the name suggests this is a wonderful cafe for children (under 5’s) and their parents. Housed in a converted church, this is a really nice airy space with a very relaxed feel to it. There is an entrance fee which applies to both parents and children, but the under 1’s go free. For the children there’s a wide choice of interesting toys to play with (holz toys etc.), a babies corner and plenty of comfy sofas & chairs to choose from. The cafe serves the usual coffees, cakes and pannis plus a lovely childs’ food menu. Often there are advertisements for 'baby yoga’ or 'sing & sign’ type sessions which are also held within the building.
