The food and atmosphere and the owner at the billing station was all good
Even he gave us 10% discount for HSE worker in hospital
The lady was kind enough to modify our food as halal/vegetarian as it could be
I even asked them if they use same pans for bacon and meat stuff and they said they do it separately for sure
French toast was not too moist for me but the ice cream and beetroot brownie was too good, would love to go there for that
Over all its a beautiful experience inside and out as its a big area of plants and flowers

We found this place through an online recommendation and were lucky to get a table right away. The staff were absolutely lovely! They were warm, welcoming, and up for a friendly chat. A special shoutout to the gentleman working on the Bank Holiday Monday. He was incredibly kind and made us feel right at home.
The space is bright, cool, and inviting. The iced coffee was delicious, and the food didn’t disappoint either. Everything tasted fresh and natural, with real care put into the preparation. You can actually see the chefs at work, which adds a nice personal touch. The brownie was absolutely divine! The menu had loads of different options too.
We really enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend it to anyone in or around Waterford. We'd love to come back someday!
Thank you so much for a lovely review, we've passed it to our team! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your visit and hope to welcome you back one day.
We had a lovely breakfast here today. After a long journey and an overnight ferry, we needed hot breakfast to recover. The food was really good and very large portions! Friendly staff. We found an ambient temperature inside a bit too low for 8am, but for others it might be just right!
