It made the whole experience feel special. The coffee was absolutely delicious. My flat white with coconut milk was done perfectly -- smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced. Honestly one of the best I've had in Ireland. And the desserts... wow. The lemon cake was perfectly sweet (not overpowering at all), and the chocolate coconut tart was simply supreme. If you're looking for great vegan treats and fantastic coffee in Killarney, this spot is a must-visit!

I'd say "Pureed vegetables including broccoli, potato base, served with bread." The semi-subterranean level is convenient in hot weather, when it keeps things cooler; there's still enough windows to keep things bright. Less touristy than most of Main Street (which pushed my boundaries a little); a nicely peaceful respite.

The outside of the building definitely draws you in and once you are close enough to look inside there is no turning back. They have a full restaurant as can be seen in the photo I submitted of the outside, but once you enter you realize they are also a full bakery and have a great assortment of all kinds of scones and baked goods as well as many breakfast and lunch items. I ended up getting a cappuccino and slice of a quiche and both were excellent. My wife ended up getting a scone which was also terrific and a latte. We also had an 18 month old with us and we were surprised that they catered well to children and had baby chairs as well. This is a place where it is welcoming and once you sit down, it is hard to leave. Service was friendly and quick and if we were staying in Killarney longer, there would have definitely been a repeat visit to this place. We will look to visit this place on our next trip to Killarney.

Besides a couple of salons and an adult store, this little street hides Spogler's Continental Bakery. I snuck in just a few minutes before they closed at 6 p.m. There was a couple that walked in ahead of me and wanted to sit in and have coffee. The lady kindly said, "We close at 6 p.m., but I will be cleaning, so if you want to have a seat, it will be ok." I was busy browsing the cakes and pies. There was a little menu with pictures to help you identify which item was which... SO HELPFUL! Although, this is one of those times where it doesn't actually matter what you choose because I'm sure it would be delicious. Unfortunately, because it was the end of the day, there was not a lot of selection left, but there was one... just one custard slice. Needless to say, that custard slice went back to the hotel with me. It was absolutely delicious and perfect with a cup of tea after a long day of travelling, herding cats (a.k.a. my students), and taking a jaunting car tour! So nip down this street and treat yourself!

My husband went in one day just to get coffee and something sweet to eat and we noticed their advertising board outside that said they had breakfast including French Toast! We went back a few days later and ordered that great French Toast which was served with 2 slices of bacon (ham to us Americans). The meal also came with real maple syrup. We really enjoyed our meal and bought an apple crumble to take with us. This confectioner maybe a little hidden but a MUST try!

Rather than having breakfast at our hotel on our first morning in Killarney, we decided to explore…read morethe town and discovered the outstanding Celtic Kitchen Café on Plunkett Street. It proved to be an excellent introduction to Killarney's warm hospitality and vibrant café culture. My wife chose the Half Irish Breakfast, while I opted for the Full Irish. Both were beautifully prepared, generously portioned, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The locally sourced bacon, sausages, black and white pudding, eggs, and perfectly toasted bread came together to create exactly what you'd hope for from a traditional Irish breakfast--hearty, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. What truly elevates Celtic Kitchen, however, is the atmosphere. Operated by a welcoming husband-and-wife team, the café has the kind of genuine friendliness that can't be manufactured. Service was attentive, efficient, and warmly personal, making us feel like regulars despite it being our first visit. From the street, the café appears modest, and it would be easy to assume seating is limited. Don't be fooled. Upstairs is a surprisingly spacious dining room that comfortably accommodates larger groups while maintaining the café's cozy, relaxed ambiance. Contemporary décor is complemented by artwork from local artists, giving the space both character and a strong sense of community. As we enjoyed our breakfast, the experience was made even more memorable by two gentlemen performing traditional Irish music just a few yards from the café. Their traditional Irish tunes drifted through the street, providing a fitting soundtrack to our first morning in Killarney. It was one of those unplanned moments that can't be replicated--a simple breakfast accompanied by authentic local music that perfectly captured the spirit of County Kerry. While breakfast is deservedly the star attraction, the menu extends well beyond the morning hours, featuring fresh baguettes, hot paninis, sandwiches, generous baked potatoes with a variety of fillings, and premium Italian coffee that has earned a loyal following among locals and visitors alike. Our breakfast at Celtic Kitchen Café was everything you hope for when arriving in a new destination: delicious food, genuine hospitality, and an authentic sense of place. Between the excellent Full Irish breakfast, the warm welcome from the owners, and the sound of music floating in from the street, it set the tone for the rest of our stay in Killarney. It remains one of the most memorable breakfasts of our trip and is an easy recommendation for anyone looking to experience both fine food and genuine Irish hospitality.
