This is the place to do it…read more A lovely, bright, inviting atmosphere where you can pop in for a quick cuppa or mug of hot chocolate (more on the hot chocolate in a minute) or just pile up and read for a while. This is truly a reader's dream place. The fare is minimal but fresh and delicious from the bits we tried. This brings me to the hot chocolate. Hubby had the tall mug of steaming milk placed in front of him with an enormous block of chocolate on a stick - like a huge square lollipop. The idea was to stick it in the milk and stir until melted. There was a choice of white, milk or dark if I remember correctly (definitely more than just the white chocolate option). He absolutely LOVED it and declared it to be the best he had ever had - check out the photos. The ONLY reason they didn't get a 5 star was due to the lack of seating. We had to wait a while to get a seat and I'm not sure what they could do about that, but if you only have a limited amount of time in Kinsale, you may just want to pop your head in first to see if there is anything available.

We popped in just as they were closing but the last was kind enough to show us some pastries she…read morejust put away for the day in the box. She was a bit in the curt side- but was kind in switching a few tarts to bars and made an espresso for my guy. Prices were a bit high, as to be expected in a town like this. the next morning we woke to try our selections. My scone had raisins (I would have preferred cranberries) and was quite dry and bland, even for a "day old" bite. It tasted basically like flour and some raisins from time to time. Everyone else opted for the barista's favorite: some berry cobbler bar. The next morning, all their pastry bags were dripping with butter/oil. I don't think anyone had more than half their bar - everyone commented it was quite heavy and had wished they had went with another option. All in all - it got the job done: we were fed and ready to hit the road for another day of exploring the countryside. But, next time we may opt for another place to pick up selections if we find ourselves in town again.

As the tourist…read morematerials will tell you, it's a picturesque fishing village outside of Waterford and one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Now in this town, there's The Bay Cafe, a lovely cafe perched high over the harbor. Inside you'll find a bay window - an actual bay window - holding a tiny table for two. This is Ireland, so you will be lucky. The table will be waiting for you. Have a seat. Order anything. Your meal will be truly delicious. The views, the quality of air and light ... the entire experience will knock your Irish socks off.

We went to 20+ craft coffee shops in Ireland and every time we compared to Coffee Cove and every time Coffee Cove was the bar to beat. No one ever did.

Food/Cost: (4) My traveling companion and I came here for a quick bite to eat after a long, cold…read morewalk around the city. I got a Raisin Scone (1.90 euros) and Veggie Soup (3.50 euros). I think the soup consisted of pureed veggies -- perhaps celery, carrots, and peas? The soup was well seasoned but I can't quite place the specific spices used; it smelled slightly of curry though. Overall, the soup was enjoyable and thoroughly warmed me up. What really impressed me was the scone. The raisins were large and plump and the softness of the interior was nicely done. Definitely worth the price. Ambiance: (5) This cafe was a artsy, cool vibe to it. There is an upstairs area as well, but I'm not sure if its dedicated to the art aspect of the cafe. The baked goods and foods are in the back wall of the Cafe, and the rest of the Cafe is filled by glass tables and leather chairs. The decor may seem a bit disjointed at first glance, but it works for the artsy aspect of this place. Location: (5) Kilkenny Art Cafe is conveniently located in one of the many small streets in the City Center of Kilkenny. It's a short walk from the Castle and all of the shopping (Kilkenny isn't that big to begin with). Service: (4) The girl who took our orders and waited on us was friendly and accommodating. We waited 5-10 minutes for our food and it was served hot -- particularly my soup, which nearly burned my tongue. We were in a bit of a rush, so we had to ask for our scones to be packed up for take-away (after our waitress already plated it and brought it to our table) which the waitress did with no attitude. Overall: (4) I would highly recommend Kilkenny Art Cafe for tourists who need a place to rest and eat while visiting Kilkenny. Actually, I would even recommend it if you aren't a tourist. In fact, my friend and I came here upon a recommendation by a local man who said he comes here weekly for the 5 euro stew . If I lived in Kilkenny, I would definitely come to the Art Cafe to meet up with friends, study, relax, and attend the interesting art classes that they offer here.
