One loved it and the other was a bit meh, third friend got the waffle and devoured it-said it was the best he had for a while. The place itself is very bright and there was a queue of locals out the door which is always a good sign. They have a massive array of toppings and milkshakes which looked great too. Seating is very limited just tree or four high tables and stools. The staff were very friendly but the wait was about ten mins as they seemed a bit understaffed. They also seemed to be serving a tonne of soft serve ice cream. There are loads of options on the menu-it's a bit overwhelming actually-I couldn't pick anything so ended up leaving without ordering but if you want a snack give it a shot!

A cold, delicious, unique, beautifully crafted milkshake soothes your warm body on a splendid summers day! In fact nothing quite compares to this milkshake bar. The crepes may aswell be French, they are in themselves are enticing, a treat and not that but a delicacy. My friend also handed in his CV for work placement. The service is exquisite, I look forward to the conversing every single time I enter. This shop will always have a place in my heart.

As a traveling vegan…read morefamily who is accustomed to very clean, plant-based foods, it was worth the detour from our itinerary! (Kilkenny Castle proved to be a hit, too.) We had lunch AND dinner here. This is what we ate: Oaty Berry Banana Smoothie Breakfast Burrito Nut Roast Wrap Vegetable puree soup (of the day) Americano Coffee Korma, served with veggie fried rice, roast potatoes, and green salad (this was the special of the day) Falafel Wrap Salad Plate (combo of prepared salads including pesto fusilli, carrot coconut slaw, beetroot, sesame noodles, bulgar couscous) Four desserts (two baked, two raw) We also ordered a second salad combo + a side of hummus to take home for the next day. The food was all very fresh, very nutritious, and very tasty. My 6yo loved the Korma and the Nut Roast wrap. My 4yo loved the hummus. My husband and I loved it all. Helen, the owner, was very kind and took excellent care of us. This is a special place, and a rare find outside of Dublin. For those looking for a really clean meal that will leave you feeling fabulous, you must try The Cutting Vedge.

What a wonderful Bar / Tavern. The service, the food and the atmosphere are all fantastic…read more The creamy seafood chowder is outstanding. The roasted Pork loin was also wonderful. The "Cajun" chicken wrap was a lot different than I expected but still good. It has a little bit of sweetness to it that I don't associate with Cajun food.

My wife had the Toasty grilled cheese with ham and turkey. It was very nice and the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. They overcharged us by six euros on that special. But we didn't notice it until we had left. I'm sure there's plenty of other places around that are as good or better.

Another small gem in New Ross! Great takeaway selection of smoothies (for that hot Sunny Southeast…read moreday!), coffees, cold salads, and warm platter options (lasagna with or without meat, quiches, pies). The coffee is dee-licious, best you can get in town. There's no seating in the front for the deli or cafe customers so you'll have to buy and go. There is a small space in the back for the restaurant. I ate there once or twice - the food was tasty but the prices were a bit much for me. My panini was more expensive than one I'd get in a fancy-pants cafe in Dublin. The place is always packed though so there must be quite a lot of people who don't mind paying through the nose! Oh there's also a lovely little selection of gourmet cheeses, wines, pastas, rices, you-name-it just between the deli and the restaurant. So if you're struggling to find tofu in New Ross, come here - they're sure to have it!

We happened to show up at the same time as a chef who they had invited to the orchard, so were lucky to be treated to a tractor-pulled tour. Rod is zealous about his adherence to organic farming and is a bottomless pit of knowledge about the ecosystem here - he explained in detail why the orchard runs best when left to its own devices, including details such as the benefits of letting grass grow beneath the trees and housing his own bee colony for pollination. They juice the apples and let nature take over - no yeast added, and the natural yeast that is everywhere (yes, everywhere) takes over. The results are magical: their cider is amazing. They feature a dry real cider and a honeyed Medieval Cider, both of which were excellent, and the latter of which is smoother for sipping (though they are emphatic that cider should be enjoyed with food!) They also create a unique and tantalizing apple syrup and numerous spirits, distilled onsite - incredibly smooth vodka as well as brandy and other amazingly good potions that you just have to try. Some of the local restaurants serve their ciders and syrups, and we found ourselves hunting down Highbank products for the rest of our visit to Ireland. Rod and Julie are a brilliant team and we really enjoyed our visit - we plan to stop by the next time we are in Ireland!

Their website says now it will take 10 to 15 business days to get to the US. At 18 and 21 business days post order, I sent an email through their website checking on the status of my order since I still hadn't received it. 6 days later I filed a dispute with my credit card. 3 days after that the broccoli juice was delivered. If someone had responded to my email telling me it was stuck somewhere because of a trucker shortage, I would have understood. But the complete lack of response to my inquiries was unacceptable. Neither did they respond to my credit card company.
