For my side item, I chose the potato salad, which is some of the best that I've ever had. It was super fresh and included fresh dill along with some chunks of pickle. Would love to take this stuff back home! Service was attentive and cheerful.

A place like this just makes my heart sing. Starbucks it ain't. It's local independent, cosy and…read morequality. Our waitress was joy personified - the welcome was warm and she fussed over us to get us seated then brought menus. The cafe has a take away go left and a separate sit - in area go right where we nestled into. The cafe was busy - both takeaway and sit in - just into the early afternoon. It was a flat white, a cappuccino and a generous chunk of home - made, zingy lemon meringue pie between us. The coffees and the light airy pie were delicious. The rest - rooms were well appointed too. Once the food was delivered to the table I asked for the bill so that we could just leave once we were done. My wish was granted with a smile. €14.35 or £12.37.

I couldn't resist ducking into this cute bakery when my fiancé and I were in the area to visit…read moreKilkenny Castle. The window display is full of freshly baked bread and, my favorite, scones! Seriously, this place is a little like a Disney movie or anime where there are just mountains of amazing breads everywhere. The store smells great! My fiancé ordered the Mexican wrap, while I got the chicken fillet roll. Both were simply prepared and tasty enough to sate us. The focus here is definitely not the deli, let's be honest. If you're going to Tess's, you need to pick up a few baked goods! After some deliberation, I decided to behave myself and just order one scone. It was good. Not the best I've had, but it was a decent size and not dry. There are so many options here, there's no way you could experience it all in one trip! Lemon cake, soda breads, apple tarts, muffins... it's a carb lover's delight. It's not a sit-down place, so keep that in mind. Also, they don't take cards. This is a hassle when you're a tourist, and the bakery IS in a tourist area with the castle nearby. Luckily, there is an ATM just down the road at the bank.

Absolutely love this place!

The staff is also very kind as well, and helpful with ordering. They also have wifi as well, so ask up front when you order for the password. Only thing is that I would stay on the first floor if you're looking for a more lively environment, as the upper floor is a little more dimly lit and is very quiet.

They advertise "All Day Breakfast" and have a variety of specials (soups, salads, wraps, mains, etc.) throughout the day. I popped in for a cuppa and the veggie breakfast. It was fresh and delicious, well above average. And the coffee was really good. Someone really takes care with the beans here! Recommended if ye are in the area and looking for a nice bite!

My partner wasn't with me so I inquired about gluten free. They said it's not a problem. You might see the outdoor seating in my photo, but if you look very closely, you might see that they provided lap blankets for the chilly weather. Nice!
