Pennyfeather Cafe in Kilkenny

Upstairs in the book centre. You have to wait to be seated. Fantastic menu here, I went for the fry yum yum. Staff are friendly and food excellent

Everything was 5 stars except the “avocado” on our avocado toast. It was like some weird fake avocado paste - definitely not fresh avocado. Had I known I would have ordered something else. Other than that, food and service/atmosphere were all great. Eggs were perfectly poached and I really enjoyed the chutney and beet hummus.

Very friendly and fast service, the food was great!

Super nice food and service. Lovely staff and place I think i might have gotten the best sandwich of my life here Get the rustic chicken sandwich

The chichen club amazing and the cinnamon French toast was unbelievable. It is very unique place but the reason that the place does not get the 5th star is, that they need to be trained more into the coffee preparation and the pancakes probably they were not fresh .

Best value hot breakfast in Kilkenny. The vegan and veggie option is all fresh ingredients, no UPF, and includes your drink for €12 (Aug 2025). Its possible the brunch of avocado and eggs with beetroot hummouse beats it for taste. The value is fantastic, portions really generous. And beautiful old Georgian architecture doesn't hurt either :)

Consistently friendly service, tasty food. Love the Capri ciabatta. Yes prices have gone up here same as everywhere else and it's the top end of what I'd pay for a sandwich without any sides but I like this place, for bottomless brunch or just dropping in for a coffee it's always been good

I really enjoyed visiting this book shop — they had so much to choose from, which was great. However, I found the prices very expensive and unnecessary, especially when the book shop up the road is more than half the price cheaper.

Nice little cafe, food is good . Staff are friendly and efficient . Good all-around

where to begin… as I have lived in Kilkenny my whole life. Such a quaint and delightful city I am proud to call my home. I have been to every single cafe and establishment that serves beverages and items of consumption and in all of my days and and nights (some of them sleepless as I ponder the meaning of life), I can say with my hand on heart and my eyes full of hope, this cafe is nice. I was served by a sensational and easy going waitress. I felt that she was emotionally invested in my meal and my experience at the cafè. Some would say, me being some, that it felt like a home away from home. Would I go here again you may ask? Yes, given gods wish.
