Togayo Café

Togayo Café sits quietly on South Loudoun Place in Cardiff’s Bay area, offering a relaxed spot for those looking to experience traditional Somali flavours without the formality of a full restaurant setting. This café leans into casual dining with a kitchen that’s clearly honed its craft over decades, where Somali classics like lamb and salmon rice appear to anchor the menu alongside comforting, homely options such as spaghetti with meat sauce.

The atmosphere here feels welcoming and probably familiar to locals who come for both quick bites and lingering conversations. The presence of Somali tea and milk tea, praised by regulars for their authenticity, suggests this is a place where the beverage experience is as important as the food itself — a great spot for a leisurely breakfast or an afternoon pause. The staff have built a reputation for friendliness that eases the initial visit whether you’re trying Somali cuisine for the first time or are a returning fan.

Given the consistently positive feedback about value and the unpretentious ambiance, Togayo seems well suited for those curious about Somali flavours served in a straightforward setting. Locals looking for a friendly place to enjoy traditional dishes alongside casual tea service will likely find this café a reliable pick, especially during quieter daytime hours when the neighborhood vibe is more relaxed.
