    I miss living in Waterford due to this place. I looked forward to lunch everyday. The specials were amazing. Hope to return again soon.

    This place truly is a gem. The coffee is great! The food is also top notch. From exquisite fresh pastries (Almond croissant a personal favourite) to the freshest breakfast roll you’re likely to find and much more besides. The owner is friendly and charismatic and is sure to give you a laugh while you’re in. The kind of service that keeps you coming back.

    Lovely pastries and very good hospitality. If we come back to Waterford I would love to try the lunch toasties.

    This establishment sells the most luxurious coffee in Waterford city. Segafredo is the most lovely tasting coffee and the owner who is from Martinique gives a Caribbean flavour. His food is top notch he always that the produce is always fresh rightly so he was trained at the Le Cordon Bleu. The furnishings and décor of metropolitan Paris café. I would really recommend that anyone visits this great establishment. When I'm Waterford city this my go to establishment and the owner is very professional and generous.

    Excellent coffee shop with a friendly staff, Eddie. It is small and more than just coffee. Eddie makes excellent sandwiches and baps along with his great coffee.

    This is a hidden gem in the cafe and pastry world of Waterford. Eddie is the owner and chef and makes fresh pastry and food in front of you. The breakfast roll is the best I ever had 😎 Superb coffee also

    A great stop for lunch. As an American from the South it was grand to find a place with actually spicy food. I enjoyed conversating with the owner while he made my panini and quiche! The food was some of the best I have had in Ireland yet.

    Incredibly friendly owner, freshly made croissants, and delicious coffee that stayed hot way longer than it had any right to. Will definitely be returning.

    I love this cafe! The sign outside says Alexandria but this is it! It is the only place to get authentic Segafredo coffee in Waterford. The owner is a lovely French man called Rodril who makes you feel right at home. Definitely worth stopping by!

    Got a coffee here and it was absolutely horrendous. Asked for a double espresso. The "barista" had no clue what that was. Prepped the shot completely wrong and I basically got a ridiculously long, burned shot. So basically an Americano made completely wrong. It tasted awful and burnt. And he didnt know how much it cost and had the gall to charge me 3.70. will never return and I would encourage you to not
