Waterlilies in Carlow

A very busy spot but it's worth waiting and squeezing into a seat for the food which is always interesting and rewarding, with excellent coffee. The Tullow version is less busy but just as good.

Waterlilies has the BEST matcha and lemon meringue I've ever had. I work at a cafe where we serve matcha and I will always praise theirs. There is just something so special about it. Definitely made with absolute love. As someone who doesn't care too much for lemon meringue... This is by far the best sweet treat I've ever had. I get a matcha and a lemon meringue every time I go in.. Absolutely amazing

An absolute gem! Food was delicious, best basque cheesecake I've ever tasted! Great selection of food choices. Staff very friendly. I WISH we had one of these in Belfast

Consistently excellent pastries, always a great selection available. Coffee is good too. Pastries are expensive at €4 to €5 a pop, but given the quality, that's just about OK. For lunch the soup is usually very good - and you get some tasty, fresh sourdough or brown bread on the side. Sandwiches are also expensive at around €12 and not as good quality as the pastries in my opinion. Space a bit limited inside but there are tables on the street. Overall a fantastic asset to Carlow town and the pastries are worth travelling for.

Best coffee and Matcha latte ever, highly recommended this place🫶

Beautiful little coffee shop in Carlow. A very warm welcome, great pastry and coffee

I am currently studying abroad, and this cafe has made me feel right at home. Visiting almost every day, I truly cannot resist how wonderful the food and service is. The atmosphere is so lovely and the employees have been so kind every time I have stopped in. I could not recommend this spot more! 🫶🏻

Best pastries I’ve come across in Carlow, backed up with delish coffee! Would recommend

Fabulous brunch, lovely coffee and staff very attentive and courteous.

It was the perfect place for a tasty Americano and a good sit down after walking around Carlow all day.
