Good strong (genuinely) coffee is complimented with a cake selection straight out of a children's book, which is also on constant rotation. The pancakes deserve their own twitter feed. The cafe itself is really relaxing with a great view. Its cozy in the winter, with a large outside area when the sun comes out. Staff are great and the place feels like a focal point in the town. Reviews always seem unbalanced/questionable without some form of criticism, but I can't be arsed trying to think of some small thing that wasn't a problem in the first place. Anyone who ever gave it all up to start their own cafe had this place pictured in their head when they took the plunge. Really looking forward to it opening in the evening this summer

If you are lucky enough to visit this town, make sure you drop into the Rivers End Cafe perched right on the edge of the river as the name suggests. It's a really lovely cosy cafe style spot, decoated in a nautical theme, with tables and chairs set outside on a lovely day like this. Food is really good as it's freshly prepared, but be warned as you ay have to wait a little while for service as they are so busy. They serve breakfast until late morning and a huge selection of delicious homemade cakes pastries and scones which are impossible to resist, not to mention a whole range of sandwiches, wraps and panini - served with a light salad. Lovely friendly staff, eager to help and make you feel welcome and wanted! Would highly recommend this spotlessly clean cafe in one of the most beautiful settings to be found around Ireland.

Hands down the best breakfast we had in Ireland.

The interior is clean and quaint with fresh flowers on each table and a carafe of water infused with fresh cut oranges and limes. It was very refreshing. The coffee was superb.

It is on the way to Old Head, which is also worth the drive.

This is truly a reader's dream place. The fare is minimal but fresh and delicious from the bits we tried. This brings me to the hot chocolate. Hubby had the tall mug of steaming milk placed in front of him with an enormous block of chocolate on a stick - like a huge square lollipop. The idea was to stick it in the milk and stir until melted. There was a choice of white, milk or dark if I remember correctly (definitely more than just the white chocolate option). He absolutely LOVED it and declared it to be the best he had ever had - check out the photos. The ONLY reason they didn't get a 5 star was due to the lack of seating. We had to wait a while to get a seat and I'm not sure what they could do about that, but if you only have a limited amount of time in Kinsale, you may just want to pop your head in first to see if there is anything available.

She was a bit in the curt side- but was kind in switching a few tarts to bars and made an espresso for my guy. Prices were a bit high, as to be expected in a town like this. the next morning we woke to try our selections. My scone had raisins (I would have preferred cranberries) and was quite dry and bland, even for a "day old" bite. It tasted basically like flour and some raisins from time to time. Everyone else opted for the barista's favorite: some berry cobbler bar. The next morning, all their pastry bags were dripping with butter/oil. I don't think anyone had more than half their bar - everyone commented it was quite heavy and had wished they had went with another option. All in all - it got the job done: we were fed and ready to hit the road for another day of exploring the countryside. But, next time we may opt for another place to pick up selections if we find ourselves in town again.
