An independent coffee shop in a converted unit in Llanharan. Welsh-blended coffee, cakes baked locally, and a big bright room full of plants.
Made for staying a while
Ground Control is a small independent coffee shop run from an old industrial unit in Bryncae. The ceilings are high, the windows run floor to ceiling, and there's room to spread out.
Pop in for a flat white on the way past, or settle in with a book from the little library. Nobody will hurry you out.
