You feel like it's the 1940s especially with how the large room is decorated and service staff are dressed. Candles burning & fresh flowers on the table. Lots of different homemade cakes & cupcakes to choose from too. Saw a 30th Bday party being held in private room. A must visit while in Waterford.

Not too noisy in here even with as many people, but the acoustics seem okay. I can see this becoming a regular place while visiting. Kinda 80s-90s vibe for decor. Love it!

Loved this little place! Just a short walk from our hotel. Very nice ambiance, friendly staff, and…read moregreat service. Great place for breakfast or lunch, or tea and sweet treats. I had a delicious toasty with ham and some of the wonderful Irish cheese, which came with a nice little salad. The honey mustard dressing was really yummy. I had some delicious Lemon Drizzle cake with a dish of fresh whipped cream, and got a slice of apple cake to go after hearing a regular customer rave about it. Also delicious! Planning to stop by on our way out of town for some to-go treats. I read some reviews with complaints about price, but honestly I think the prices are reasonable for the quality and portions that are served.

Finally made it here this week after going by several times when it was closed and had a delicious rhubarb meringue and a pot of the house cream tea, which had a nice vanilla note as well as a bit of coffee flavour infused in it. I got to sit on the sofa and read the paper as well so it was a properly relaxing experience. Nicely located at the top of a fairly mean hill climb so a good spot for cyclists when the weather is good as you really earn the tea and cake!

On the walk up from town to the Cork City Gaol we passed this cool looking place…read more I glanced back and chuckled at the humorous sign outside, (New customers required. No previous experience necessary. Apply within.) and we decided to pop in for a sandwich. And I am so glad we did. This is a little bit of everything rolled into one. Part tea room, part sandwich bar, park general store. And al mishmashed in a variety of styles and decor. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and sat down near the door to wait. And were charmed. This is the type of place I would love to have near me. Everyone who entered was greeted by name and Vikki knew exactly what they wanted and needed. When an elderly lady didn't have enough change with her to pay, Vikki simply said "No problems, you can get me next time." Wow, that this still happens somewhere fills me with joy still! The sandwiches by the way were great as was the service.

Since there are only six rooms situated on the west wing of an entire castle we pretty much had the run of the place. We never saw another guest. Julie and Sam are the sibling proprietors (also direct descendants of the original 17 century royal family that built the castle). Both were gracious and lovely. Since it was our anniversary we stayed up late listening to old jazz records in the castle library that resembled a hall at the Louvre. When we departed this morning we realized the only electronic device we picked up during our stay was a camera. Thank you Julie and Sam for a wonderful escape. We will never forget it.

I found Irish people to be so friendly and nice but this family is specially very nice and go above and beyond to leave a positive mark that brings smile to my face even thousands of miles away now that I am back home wearing their tasteful goods!

This quaint tea room is the perfect place for a treat and a gossip with the girls. On the down side, Cupan Tae is a small bit more expensive than other places in Kenmare.

The sad thing about many tea-houses in Ireland is, you can get the more sophisticated stuff but there's a very definite move away from the Irishness of the experience. Whereas here in Cupán Tae, not only can you get a wide selection of fancy tea, you can also get a good pot of Irish tea (black, rough, needs boiling water to draw the flavour out properly) AND get a rasher sandwich. The service was lovely, really friendly and efficient. I wish it wasn't so far away from where I live...but if I'm in Kerry, I will certainly be making a detour to Kenmare for a cuppa and a sandwich.
