Bishop's Palace Café
Waterford
19/01/2025: Food is good but watch out for how they have the tip machine, they make it look like it's where you pay. They know what they're at and they've been at it for a while. Not on
14/01/2025: We were at the museum and went to a cafe. Smiling and helpful staff. The cakes are fresh and delicious. Hot chocolate so sweet that the children couldn't get enough 🤪😅

Cafe Lucia Ardkeen
Waterford
11/05/2025: Great food, top class service. Never disappoints.
29/04/2025: My friend and I visited this cafe and there was a cue, seeing a cue is not a bad sign, It means that this cafe is very popular and from my experience I can understand why, the staff are so friendly and polite, then the manager engaged with customer from moment of arrival to taking us to a table even when ordering food service here at cafe Lucia is not any where else the deserve a gold for service that both staff and management provide to customers and no one customer is treated differently to another. It is a type of service that will bring me back again and again.

Ginos
Waterford
25/09/2024: Great Gino's special pizza as always.
20/07/2024: The pizza is top quality delicious goodness combined with the most friendly staff I've ever encountered makes a visit to this hidden gem a must. After dinner I got talking about the sport of Irish Hurling with the chef. I've never seen a live match so the chef gets a hurling paddle from his car to show me the critical tool of the game and gives me a hurling ball to take back home. I'm overcome with joy from experiencing the best of human nature. Please pay this wonderful establishment a visit. You'll be glad you did.

Peas Bistro
Waterford
27/05/2025: The service was very poor, nobody brought us to our table even though there was a sign telling us to wait, and then I had to go up to the till to order, unlike any other customer I saw.
Ordered the pancakes, and they gave me white chocolate sauce even though I'd ordered milk chocolate, and the pancakes were mealy and dry.
They might be better in the morning time, but it really felt like they had given up for the day though there was still nearly three hours to go until they closed.
26/05/2025: Great little spot for an un-fussy breakfast/ brunch/ lunch. Great Irish breakfast, breakfast quesadilla awesome. It’s a small spot, can get a bit packed at peak times and service speed can drop a bit, keep that in mind.

Carters Chocolate Cafe
Waterford
17/03/2025: Amazing desserts and good coffee! Nice seats outdoors ! We were pleasantly surprised that coffee was served with beautiful chocolate !
13/03/2025: Unfortunately, this café does not seem to understand what an espresso macchiato truly is. The owner himself prepared what was essentially a cappuccino with chocolate on top, insisting it was a macchiato. When I kindly requested a proper macchiato—two short shots of espresso with a thin layer of foam—he instead served a large espresso filled with MILK and foam. He also mumbled something behind me—... .While the location is great, the customer experience was disappointing.
The feeling /experience is like in a global café shop chain than a true local spot.
For an authentic local café experience and a proper espresso or macchiato, I highly recommend The Arch, just 50 meters away.
