I stopped in for a takeaway americano but unfortunately had to leave after waiting over 10 minutes after I ordered, as I was on my way somewhere else. It didn’t seem too busy at the time, and there were two staff working the coffee machine, but service was quite slow. I had already paid by card so didn’t have time to request a refund. On a positive note, the pastries looked delicious. Hopefully next time the coffee service will be a bit quicker.

Best coffee east of the Barrow. Amazing bakery and little gem of a lunch spot.

Waterlilies is a lovely place to grab a quick coffee. The staff are friendly and the food is yum. Their breads are fantastic but you have to be up early to get them.
Today a lovely random thing happened to me where a woman and her friend handed me a lovely flower just because....thank you for making me smile with your random act of kindness 😊

The best coffee ever. Everything I have ordered in Waterlilles has been gorgeous, I’ve never had something I didn’t like.
The service is exceptional. Abigail and the team are always helpful and Clayton hasn’t let us down with recommendations on any new products.
The atmosphere is so relaxed, exactly what I want when I visit. It’s a must visit when you are in Carlow.
The fact it’s dog friendly is a big bonus too as we can call in after our walks every weekend.

The team here is always warm and welcoming. Clayton, in particular, greets every guest with a genuine smile. Their coffee is beautifully crafted, and the selection of home-baked sweet treats is irresistible. Don’t miss their freshly baked bread, it’s hands down the best in town!!
