Kinga's Cafe in Carrickmacross

This is one of the rare spots in Ireland where the hot chocolate is the real deal—actual melted chocolate, not the usual powder shortcut. Service runs crisp and attentive, the pastries and products are curated rather than generic, and the overall experience elevates the entire city’s value proposition. The place doesn’t just serve customers; it sets a benchmark others should be aiming for.

The best brownie I've ever had. Just un real. Great staff too

Great spot for a specialty cake on short notice. Really accommodating, friendly service, and the cake was delicious.

Lovely bakery with beautiful cakes, scones and bakes, fresh artisan loaves and a fine coffee selection- the flat white was great. It was busy each time we visited, always a good sign. They do fresh sandwiches to order as well as sausage rolls etc. They also have vegan options and plant milks available. Very friendly service 👍
