Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

25 Sept 2026

Full Fat Social is an independent café at Mermaid Quay in Cardiff Bay, serving coffee, brunch and small plates throughout the day. That straightforward indoor welcome turns the stop into a genuine breather for dogs and humans together. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.

Dogs are welcome inside, making it a useful stop for bay visitors and walkers exploring the waterfront with their pup. Visit Wales highlights it as a particularly good spot for puppies and dog biscuits are available on demand for visiting four-paws. The café opens daily from 8am, with extended weekend hours until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Whether you're grabbing a morning coffee before a bay-side wander or settling in for plates after a long sniff around the quay, this is a genuinely dog-friendly Cardiff Bay café with a warm welcome for pups of all ages.
