They have a cute indoor spot with a few tables. Their desserts and pastries also looked great even though we didn't try them. If I lived here this would be a frequent spot for me.

This place is close to Waterford so a good location if you're taking a tour there or doing some shopping in the town. I ordered an Americano and the salmon toast. Coffee was good, food looked beautiful but tasted just okay. Instead of a traditional Benedict sauce they do an avocado sauce which was SUPER lemony and overpowered the rest of the dish in my opinion. I also took a piece of the carrot cake for 3.5 euro as take away which was probably the best thing I had from here. Service was not as friendly as many of the other small cafes I've visited in Ireland which was disappointing since this place is very charming inside. I'd recommend for a quick coffee and cake but have your breakfast or lunch elsewhere.

We were in Kilkenny for a day and a half and stopped here for lunch. It was busy but not too busy -…read morewe have been traveling all around Europe and the UK so I guess we are used to slow-ish service, so we proactively grabbed menus and sat down. The server came over within 10mins which is think is perfect! We did not have any issues with service during lunch on a Monday. As others have stated the windows and location are amazing! To start we ordered a scone that came with butter, amazing raspberry jam, cream and was very warm and toasty. It was really great way to start our meal. My husband ordered the cappuccino and the smoked salmon sandwich, the sandwiches come with a little side salad that was really great. He raved about his cappuccino as well. I ordered the turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing Sandwich and it was GREAT! It came our quick and was toasted perfectly - I did add mayonnaise, because as an American I love my condiments haha We also shared a side of sweet potato fries and were yummy, but we're definitely overpriced at €2.95, although we did not mind paying at all. Ireland is not the cheapest place in general. I would highly recommend giving this place a try!

Overall, I had a wonderful time at No. 9 Cafe, and I highly recommend it to all who are looking for a great lunch or dinner spot!
