Cornerstone, Cardiff
Cornerstone, Cardiff
We are absolutely thrilled to host the Coffee, Cakes and Journals: Bear Café inside one of Cardiff’s most spectacular historic landmarks.
Originally opened in 1855 as the Ebenezer Chapel, Cornerstone is a beautiful Grade II listed Neo-Gothic building located right in the heart of the city centre on Charles Street. Following a massive restoration project completed in 2016, it was brought back to life as a community and arts hub. With its soaring timber-beamed ceilings, dramatic architecture, and warm, welcoming atmosphere, it provides the ultimate cosy backdrop for a full day of journalling, planning, and stationery shopping.
