Tea & Coffee World Carlow
Carlow
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!! Sandra, Džerinaldas
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!
