Our Food Cardiff board member, Jane Cook | PR Consultant, has written a guest blog about her latest project, the The Cardiff Coffee Passport - which aims to help people to discover independent coffee shops around Cardiff, whilst also exploring coffee quality, provenance, variety and different brewing methods too.

But there is another part of the pilot scheme that matters just as much: how the coffees are served.

The participating venues are Hard Lines Coffee Roasters Donald’s Brodies Coffee Co Laura McDonald Society Café Pettigrew Bakeries and Donald’s ☕️

If there is space, the The Cardiff Coffee Passport asks people to drink in at the venues using the crockery. But if people want to take a coffee away, they’ll need to bring their own reusable cup.

No guilt trip, no complicated system, just a small behavioural nudge built into a scheme people already want to take part in.

The Cardiff Coffee Passport is about celebrating the quality of Cardiff’s independent coffee scene.

The project has been supported through the FOR Cardiff City Ambition Fund, and has enabled Food Cardiff board member Jane Cook to develop and test an idea at a manageable scale.

And if it helps hundreds of people discover independent coffee businesses while getting into the habit of carrying a reusable cup, that feels like a useful result.

Because ultimately, changing a city’s food system is not one big intervention. Many actions are needed to create the conditions for people and organisations to make a change, with those actions reinforcing one another over time.

And sometimes, it can start with something as simple as remembering your own coffee cup!

"The line-up for the first ever Cardiff Coffee Passport has been curated around coffee quality, provenance and variety, with venues showcasing different brewing methods, too. But there is another part of the pilot scheme that matters just as much to me: how those coffees are served."

GUEST BLOG: FOOD, COMMUNITY AND BREAD PUDDING WITH SPLOTT COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS

“One thing you should know about me is that I’m not a foodie. I should probably start with that, given that I’m writing a blog about food. I love eating and cooking, but that’s just because I’m a glutton: I want to try every kind of food! That’s turned out to be quite useful at Splott Community Volunteers (SCV), where food brings people together."

Check out our latest guest blog, from Andy Murphy, Comms & Engagement Coordinator, Splott Community Volunteers 👇

"Un peth y dylech chi ei wybod amdanaf i yw nad ydw i’n ymddiddori’n fawr mewn bwyd. Mae’n debyg y dylwn i ddechrau gyda hynny, o ystyried fy mod i’n ysgrifennu blog am fwyd. Dw i wrth fy modd yn bwyta a choginio, ond y rheswm am hynny yw fy mod i’n farus: dw i eisiau trio pob math o fwyd! Mae hynny wedi bod yn eithaf defnyddiol gyda Gwirfoddolwyr Cymunedol y Sblot (SCV), lle mae bwyd yn dod â phobl at ei gilydd."
