Caffe 500
Carlow
08/03/2026: Would recommend it to italian food lovers. Im just not one of them and little to no alternative. So if you enjoy italian food it's the place for you.
25/02/2026: It's no longer the place it used to be. At first, the food was quite good. But now the only redeeming feature is the pizza. We were there yesterday, and honestly, if we're talking about the food, it wasn't a great experience. The lasagna tasted of nothing, the fusilli had vodka too.

Teach Dolmain
Carlow
13/12/2025: Love a meal here whenever we are in Carlow , good good and service , staff are really good and pleasant .
08/12/2025: Had a nice Cesar Salad with plenty of parmesan. The chicken was breaded so good luck on the calories count but nice as well. Apple pie wasn’t bad either but wish it had some cinnamon or winter spice.
Parking is on street or the omniplex across the road ( pay options in both cases).
Best thing here is the commitment to value that not many places still have. Will return.

Delta Sensory Gardens
Carlow
07/12/2025: Small gardens and you need to pay fee even to enter coffee shop (not gardens). And queue, of course. Everything is very slow like it is supposed to be in this kind of gardens.
08/11/2025: Well worth a visit! A really magical garden walk with lots of hidden gems!

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!
