Lovely local café! We were greeted very warmly at the door and were shown the many fresh options at the counter. Service was quick. Both decaf and chai latte were delicious. Carrot cake and lemon cupcake also were great! Would recommend.

Having stopped for lunch here two years ago I wanted to go back again when I was in the area. I'm glad I did. The mini breakfast was very generous, equal to a full breakfast in other cafés. 2 large rashers, large sausage, black pudding, poached egg and delicious fried cherry tomatoes. With good quality white toast and coffee included, it was more than worth €12.50. Atmosphere is lovely and staff friendly and efficient. I will be back.

Walked from Kilkenny city and was welcomed immediately as we came in the door. The atmosphere and staff here are amazing. We got coffee, carrot cake and apple tart and it was amazing. Definitely will be back if in the area!
