Very nice small cafe near Kilkenny Castle. Very nice cheesecakes, especially crème brûlée we ordered to accompany a really good espresso. Absolutely recommend this place when hanging around the town and craving a perfect cup of coffee. We will be back. P.S. bring your furry family member as the cafe is dog friendly.

Great people, great environment. Food quality is good and always consistent. David really welcomed us from the USA and helped us enjoy our stay in Ireland. Highly recommend!

We just popped in to have a quick bite before taking a walk in Kilkenny. We did not expect this level of quality - we had the tomato basil soup and sandwiches. The sandwiches were to die for, really juicy and rich in flavour. We ended up having desert and coffee as well and it did not disappoint. Staff was friendly and service was quick. We’ll definitely be coming back here when we visit Kilkenny in the future.

Came here with a few friends after visiting Kilkenny Castle, and loved it!! The staff were lovely, the prices good, and the food was amazing! We were struggling to choose what to order at first, and were kindly explained and shown everything to. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to come to Ireland again, but if I do I will definitely come here again

One day me and my mother were craving a coffee so we both went to Brewtaly and my mother ordered a cappuccino and my mother enjoyed it. I swapped things up a little and ordered a hot chocolate and tried this new vegan tart cake and the reason I ordered it was because it looked nice and at this time I didn’t even know the name of it and it was the first time it was on display and it was very much enjoyable. The woman and man that were both working on this day were very grateful even though we didn’t spend lots and checked how our order was halfway true and even had no problem with talking to us in a very polite manner I could not recommend somewhere else as highly other than here due to how polite and dedicated they are to ensuring an amazing experience.
