What User likes about The Yard Cafe:
Lovely spot for lunch whilst visiting Kilkenny. Good choice on the menu. The staff were very efficient and there was no waiting for service. The busker singing Simon and garfunkel songs was an added bonus. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Yard Cafe:
I love the food here, the chorizo sausage rolls are superb, as is the brie focaccia bap, and the coffee is lovely. But the service is so incredibly slow. On more than one occasion I have left the que for takeaway after 20/30 minutes as the que isn't moving.

Riverside Café in Thomastown offers a picturesque location on the bridge with a range of affordable options from paninis to desserts. The owner is pleasant and accommodating, although they only accept cash payments. The food is delicious, especially the chorizo sausage rolls and brie focaccia bap. However, the service can be slow at times, particularly during busy periods. Despite this, the staff are friendly and efficient. Riverside Café is a charming spot for a coffee or a quick bite to eat, providing a welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. Indulge in the tasty offerings while taking in the lovely views of Thomastown.

The coffee and treats at this restaurant are delicious. However, I urge the staff to please stop leaving doors open that allow the freezing cold air to come in.
