This place was amazing! The scones were delicious, the sausage rolls were fresh and the Americano coffee hit the spot. We ordered five or six different things and they all tasted great. The service was tremendous, fast and friendly. read more

After exploring Kells Priory, we came here for in impromptu lunch. This building caught my eye on…read morethe drive over because it looks historical but at the time I had no idea what it was. However, there are signs at Kells that point to a cafe and museum and this ended up being those things. At Kells, we parked in this small parking lot next to a small abandoned church and did quite a hike down through a sheep pasture to get the the priory ruins. Apparently, you're supposed to park here at the mill and take the wooden path along the creek. Both were quite a walk but only one was up and down a steep, dung-laden hill. Whichever you choose, make sure you still visit the other one as there is more to see at each parking area. However, the main point of this review is about Jen's Cafe on the upper level of the mill. It's a very cute cafe with friendly staff and ended up being one of the best meals I had in Ireland. I had the chicken pie which was huge chunks of roasted chicken in a creamy basil sauce baked in a puff pastry shell. It came with a sort of coleslaw, roasted potatoes, and a greens salad with balsamic. They have different tea options as well as coffee and bakery items for desert. I thought about that pie for the rest of my trip. On a return trip to Ireland, this will definitely be on my list!

This place is close to Waterford so a good location if you're taking a tour there or doing some shopping in the town. I ordered an Americano and the salmon toast. Coffee was good, food looked beautiful but tasted just okay. Instead of a traditional Benedict sauce they do an avocado sauce which was SUPER lemony and overpowered the rest of the dish in my opinion. I also took a piece of the carrot cake for 3.5 euro as take away which was probably the best thing I had from here. Service was not as friendly as many of the other small cafes I've visited in Ireland which was disappointing since this place is very charming inside. I'd recommend for a quick coffee and cake but have your breakfast or lunch elsewhere.

The server came over within 10mins which is think is perfect! We did not have any issues with service during lunch on a Monday. As others have stated the windows and location are amazing! To start we ordered a scone that came with butter, amazing raspberry jam, cream and was very warm and toasty. It was really great way to start our meal. My husband ordered the cappuccino and the smoked salmon sandwich, the sandwiches come with a little side salad that was really great. He raved about his cappuccino as well. I ordered the turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing Sandwich and it was GREAT! It came our quick and was toasted perfectly - I did add mayonnaise, because as an American I love my condiments haha We also shared a side of sweet potato fries and were yummy, but we're definitely overpriced at €2.95, although we did not mind paying at all. Ireland is not the cheapest place in general. I would highly recommend giving this place a try!

We ordered the fish and chips and it was ok. More flavor was needed. There were perhaps frequent customers there and the waitstaff was mostly talking to them and it was really noticeable. Our glasses were empty for most of the meal and it took a while for anyone to notice we needed our bill. We love this city and there are so many great eating places. Maybe it was an off day.
