Humble cafe on the Waterford Main Street. Owner was kind enough to make us the most delicious chicken panini to start our morning. If you’re looking for some good coffee and sandwiches this is the place.Segafredo has an acquired taste. This cafe is soulful and brightens your day.

A charming and atmospheric little cafe. Owner very hospitable, willing to talk and very polite. We ate the best crocque madame in southern Ireland here, with the owner sharing some of his other wares with us on his own initiative. The cakes and coffee were also very good. Definitely a place to recommend and worth a visit while in Waterford.

Response from the owner

Amazing food with all my heart
