One of my favourite cafés in Kilkenny! The atmosphere at The Lime Tree Café is always so lovely, and you’re greeted by the most welcoming, kind staff. They’re attentive, always smiling, and make you feel right at home.
The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions, and even the coffee and hot drinks are top notch. Everything about this place just makes you want to keep coming back. Highly recommend if you haven’t been yet! Run by lovely people who clearly care about every guest!

Amazing flavours from fairly simple food.
We found here by chance one day after leaving the Newpark in Kilkenny, there was nothing suitable for my vegetarian wife on the newpark lunch menu.
We have been back now 4 times despite living a couple of hours away.
It's a real find.
I love their vegetarian bruschetta (despite being a meat eater) the amount of flavour they get out of just goats cheese and pesto is amazing. I had their fish and chips on another visit, similarly top notch.
My wife has had their vegan bruschetta (falafel and hummus) and mushrooms in cream sauce at another visit. They cater for our kids too.
Myself and my wife both adore the lemon curd Eton mess.

A pleasant cafe with a gentle and balanced atmosphere that remains consistent throughout the day. The seating is comfortable enough for extended visits, and the overall mood encourages a slower pace. It’s ideal for relaxed conversations or quiet personal time without distraction.

Lovely little cafe in Castlecomer.
Pet friendly at the back of the cafe: this is outside.
They serve a wide range of options, such as dinner, sandwiches and deserts. They also serve Gluten-free, thank you.
We visited on two separate occasions with our two furry friends (dogs). The food was amazing and the coffee is very good. And to complete a great service, they do takeaway.
I highly recommend a visit. The warm reception by the manager, is refreshing. Unfortunately, I never received his name. He was welcoming, professional, helpful and friendly. We had a lovely visit on two occasions.
