Insomnia Coffee Company - Kilkenny in Kilkenny

It's located inside a gallery. During our time exploring Kilkenny, we often stopped there for coffee. Excellent service, and I highly recommend the caramel macchiato.

Insomnia Coffee Company is without a doubt one of my favourite places to stop for a coffee, whether I’m grabbing something on the go or taking a quiet moment to sit and relax. Every visit feels like a small treat — the atmosphere is always welcoming, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the coffee is consistently top-quality. You can tell that Insomnia takes real pride in their products and in creating a great experience for their customers. The menu offers a fantastic range of options — from rich, perfectly brewed coffees to creamy hot chocolates and delicious seasonal drinks that always feel special. Their food selection is equally impressive, with fresh pastries, sandwiches, and sweet treats that pair perfectly with any drink. I also love that they use fairtrade coffee beans and make an effort to be more sustainable — it really shows that they care about both their customers and the wider community. The space itself is always clean, comfortable, and designed with a cosy vibe that makes it easy to unwind. Whether you’re meeting a friend, catching up on some work, or simply taking a break during a busy day, Insomnia always delivers the perfect balance of quality, comfort, and service. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Cake was a little stale and my mug handle was all cracked so had to get it changed, but there was plenty of people in this kilkenny branch. Sorry but not as good as the Thurles branch.

Awesome cafe popular with locals. Great coffee.
