Incredible food, served by friendly staff with a modern and natural atmosphere! My go-to spot for a quiet morning breakfast alone or a bustling lunch with friends, it’s a lovely hidden gem of a café in Clonmel. With the flexibility of dine-in or takeaway, it’s perfect for everyone.
They provide a selection of fresh baked goods from Seagull Bakery, along with a lovely variety of coffee.
1,000/10 would recommend, especially if you’re as obsessed with açai as myself (which pairs fabulously with their coffee! 🩷)

If you are looking for a spot that takes "indulgence" seriously, you’ve found it. I recently stopped by for a quick treat,
The chocolate muffin was, in a word, incredible. Often, café muffins can be a bit dry or crumbly, but this was the exact opposite. It was rich, dense, and remarkably moist. The standout feature was the molten chocolate center—a gooey surprise that made every bite feel like a high-end dessert rather than just a quick snack. Topped with a light dusting of powdered sugar, it struck the perfect balance between a traditional muffin and a decadent lava cake. If you visit, this is an absolute must-order.
To wash down the muffin, I opted for a hot chocolate, and it did not disappoint. It arrived topped with a generous mountain of whipped cream and a heavy-handed sprinkling of both white and milk chocolate shavings.
The presentation overall was excellent. Even though the muffin came in a cardboard box opening it up felt like unboxing a gift. The marble-top tables provided a clean, modern backdrop for a very cozy mid-morning break.
Final Verdict: Between the incredible muffin and the solid hot chocolate, this is a top-tier destination for anyone with a sweet tooth.
