31/07/2025: A small, cozy space and fragrant with a fantastic coffee aroma - this is the coffee house, Tea & Coffee world. We have been enjoying coffee from this shop for many years, and we met the owner Saulius face to face for the first time. We both tasted the coffee and had a nice chat. Beautiful environment and really high-level service. What if coffee is not a communication link these days❤️☕ Sincerely grateful for the great time and we wish you great success in the future!!

07/07/2025: On a day trip to Carlow Town, we found this little place. So many coffees and teas to choose from - we picked Hibiscus Tea and had some pistachio biscuit cake and a brownie, too! The place had a lovely ambience - elegant and sophisticated yet old world. The tea was wonderful and the cakes were perfect - small and dainty portions but melt in the mouth delicious. Great music in the background added to the atmosphere. A lovely experience overall!

18/02/2026: We went for a dinner with my boyfriend. The service was excellent. Even though we were a bit late they provided us with the table! The booking is essential. The food was amazing. This is my second experience in the 1808 Brasserie & Cellar Restaurant and it was just the same, bravo! We ordered roast breasts of chicken and slow cooked feather blade beef. And the dessert left me speechless... it was just a dream: classic Creme Brulee with Raspberry sorbet ❤️ Thank you very much! It turned out to be the great day... with the proposal in the end! (on the Viaduct 🥰)
