30/06/2025: Enjoyed 3 course menu. We were outside with our dog. Fantastic staff and food. Highly recommended

01/06/2025: We've never had a bad experience. Sometimes when it's full service can slow down, but never to the point where you feel ignored. The food is always excellent and you never leave hungry. The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality. We often come with family gatherings or good friends.

07/08/2025: A lovely restaurant in the heart of Carlow Town. Delicious home cooked food in a cozy environment.

30/07/2025: 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.

30/07/2025: Highly recommend, tasty food, lovely staff 10/10

12/08/2025: The fruit tart served with cream and custard was excellent

24/07/2025: Best service I have had in a long. Great menu suggestions, help with high chair for baby. Lovely hot chocolate. Be back soon to try something else.

01/06/2025: Best coffee in Carlow hands down. Specialty coffee made by skilled baristas. Silkiest flat white I have ever had!

12/05/2025: We came here quite by accident and found a place in the specialty coffee app. It turned out to be a very cozy cafe with excellent coffee and very tasty pastries. I recommend!

13/08/2025: Disappointed with our visit there this evening. Closing at 9pm is too early. Menu is changed and not an improvement. Very nice staff, but they had difficulty with the new ordering system. My burger was so much smaller than before, no lettuce, no onions and the burger bun was too big for it. Chips were not hot. Garlic chips are not garlic chips, it was just chips with a garlic dip on the side. Overall very disappointed, we are regular customers, but probably won't be going very often anymore. I sent an email this morning. I have not had a response yet. Still no reply to the email which was requested by Eddie Rockets. I was asked to make contact, which I did. Please don't pay lip service. Ignoring a customer is poor customer service.

11/08/2025: (Traducido por Google) Amable camarera! (Original) Friendly waitress!

21/07/2025: Beautifully designed set of gardens.

17/07/2025: Great place to visit with kids 5 years+, lots of flowers and waterfalls. Amazing ornaments made of stones. Loved it

10/08/2025: Great food and service very friendly and helpful I had the fish and chips and they were the best I had all holiday 👍🏻

07/08/2025: Got eggs Benedict bits of shell in the egg only noticed as I was eating them was sick for days after

27/06/2025: Great place and food for quiet Saturday lunch.

19/06/2025: Our group of dog and 3 persons were welcomed on the outside and well looked after. Food was second to none, chicken salad and bacon and cabbage as well as shared desserts just delicious. We will bring family and friends back there, thank you to the entire team

17/08/2025: Got a Hawaiian Pizza here yesterday going from Bunclody to Dublin. The pizza was quite decent. Nothing mindblowing but I would still recommend. The wait times can be either very long or very short

24/06/2025: We ordered a kebab box with fries, a cheeseburger, and some extra fries. The food was decent – good for a quick meal. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is no toilet available for customers, which is a downside if you're eating in. Overall, it's a solid option for a casual takeaway meal.

18/08/2025: Had a delicious meal, browsed for about 2.5 hours bought some lovely stuff, got great service, the perfect Sunday afternoon.

03/08/2025: I visited the Arboretum at Leighlinbridge today. Your till assistant Fiona couldn’t have been more pleasant and helpful. It would encourage me to go there again

02/07/2025: The best coffee shop in Carlow 😍

24/06/2025: We recently ordered a cake from Amoretto in Carlow, and it was an absolute hit! Nicoly was a total star, so lovely to work with, attentive to every detail, and really brought our vision to life. My son asked for a Farm bounty cake, and wow… it was delicious! The flavour was spot on: rich, moist, and perfectly balanced. All the kids and teachers at his preschool loved it, and I was lucky to bring a piece home. Even my husband, who usually only goes for the classic cream-and-jam type of cake, couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved it. Highly recommend Amoretto for any special occasion - truly fantastic service and even better cake!
