Introducing: Hikitalo

As a business, we’re always excited to partner with independent brands that are passionate about creating memorable experiences, so when Hikitalo invited us to supply their brand-new café at their second site in Cardiff, it was an opportunity we couldn't wait to be part of. Known for bringing authentic Nordic sauna culture to Wales, Hikitalo has built a community centred around wellbeing, connection and slowing down. Their newest location at Meanwhile House in Cardiff expands on that vision with Wales' first urban sauna village, offering wood-fired saunas, hot and cold plunge pools and thoughtfully designed spaces where people can unwind, reconnect and take a break from the pace of everyday life.

At the heart of that experience is their welcoming café and we're incredibly proud to be supplying the coffee for it. Whether you're visiting for a sauna session or simply looking for a great coffee stop in Cardiff, the café is open to everyone. You don't need to be heading into the sauna to enjoy your caffeine fix. Serving expertly brewed coffee, refreshing cold drinks, freshly baked pastries and Donalds pies, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends, grab a quick lunch or simply take a well-earned pause. Indoor and outdoor seating makes it an inviting space whatever the weather, with a relaxed atmosphere that reflects everything Hikitalo stands for.

What makes this partnership feel like such a natural fit is the shared focus on quality and community. Hikitalo believes that wellbeing goes beyond the physical benefits of sauna, creating spaces where people can slow down, connect and feel genuinely welcome. That same attention to detail extends to the café, where every element has been carefully considered to make visitors feel at home, whether they're warming up after a session or stopping by during the day.

We're incredibly proud that our coffee is part of this exciting new venture. Seeing our coffee served in such a unique destination, alongside fantastic pastries and pies, makes this partnership especially rewarding. It's another example of how great food and great spaces come together to create experiences people want to return to. If you're in Cardiff, Hikitalo's new café is well worth a visit. Whether you're embracing the full sauna experience or simply popping in for a coffee and something to eat, you'll find a warm welcome from Matt and the team, quality food and a space designed for everyone. We're thrilled to be part of Hikitalo's next chapter and can't wait to see the café become a favourite stop for both regulars and first-time visitors alike.
