Zucco isn’t just a coffee shop; it’s the next chapter in my family’s story here in Pontypridd. For nearly 50 years, my dad and uncle’s Café Royale was a beloved spot for locals, a place where Italian hospitality and community spirit ran deep. Growing up there, from washing dishes to celebrating birthdays, I absorbed those same values of family and hard work.

Now, with my dad in retirement, I’m honoured to continue this legacy at Zucco, where Italian tradition and warm community welcome meet in every cup and every slice.
