Coffee in Waterford

naysayer

I moved to Waterford a few weeks ago, and am looking for somewhere that serves a good Cafe Latte.
The cafe by Superquinn used to be good a few years ago, but seems to have gone downhill. Lily O' Briens is very hit and miss.
Tried many more but it seems nobody knows how to steam milk / cares to do it properly.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Anyone who mentions O' Briens or similar will be severely punished!

Latitude in Michael Street seems to be popular enough.
Or that cafe on the quay next to where Hearnes used to be? (can never remember its name)

I miss Johnny Hearnes

Ber franks is the name, very nice place too. Latitude is good to, now called Adele's

New cafe is opening up inside The Book Centre on October 3rd-- Cafe Libro. They have a couple other coffee shops with very good reputations.

Otherwise, I'd suggest hitting the market on Saturday and getting some badger and dodo.

Lattitude in Michael street or better still Harlequins in stephen street

For a good cafe latte, just go into any cafe in Waterford and ask for a cappuccino... :rolleyes:

But since some people seem to think Lattetude still exists, maybe a roundup of cafes in Waterford city centre wouldn't go astray:

I wouldn't bother mentioning some of the above as cafes but people's definition of a cafe varies.

Missing from the list are:
- Cafe Karma (The Quay)
- Amandine Confectionery (Coffee to go) (City Square)
- Debenhams Cafe (City Square)
- Book Centre (John Robert's sq.)
- Sweet Corner Traditional Sweet Shop & Tea Rooms (Patrick st.)

Recent closures:
- Lattetude (Michael st.)
- Orange Cafe (The Quay)

The best, 'pure' cafes in Waterford, in my opinion are (in no particular order),
- Gallweys
- Bishop's palace
- Park lodge
- The Granary
- Berfranks

I know some of you will be wondering why Cafe Luna is not on the list...

I'm not sure which has the best coffee in Waterford, probably a matter of personal taste.

calvin_zola

Geoffs do a lovely coffee

ziedth

Ber franks is a clear winner here IMHO. One off the beaten track a little bit is the café in the granary and I also like the ones in BB's but it's Ber franks all day long for me.

Sully

Kafe Karma on the Quay does good coffee/hot choc etc. Seems cheap enough also

O Riain

Berfranks has above and beyond the best coffee in waterford

naysayer

Thanks all, lots of great suggestions here. I tried Adele's today and got a very nice cup, not to mention the nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Reckon I'll hit Berfranks next.

Not really new just took over from lattiude who were in there.

What's wrong with a nice cuppa and a blaas? Coffee is for the Guineas! Pinkies up!

Is lattetude still out in WRH? I love the little cafe in the park, to me that's a real cafe. I'm not a big coffee drinker so I don't know how it would rate for coffee but it is very cosy. The only thing is that their cakes are a bit over priced but maybe rent is high and they need to cover their costs. I got a fairy cake there twice and it was definitely stale both times but other than that its a lovely place.

That building is great but the food is terrible. All defrosted, only it isnt. The coffee is OK but The New York Burger Co, does better coffee!

The coffee (and staff) down in the old Instore is just lovely. Pleasant place to watch the world go by.
Passed today think more household stuff gone in on ground floor . . . Different name of shop. Hook & something I think.

The Cafe Royal in the Theatre Royal would be my favourite.
the have a beautiful coffee and they do free refills what I find amaizing, me as a coffee junky

Plus the view is really worth while.
For me that's the spot to go

I don't drink coffee so I wouldn't make a point of visiting lots of different coffee places but I'm just wondering what percentage of them offer free wi-fi?

So six places. That isn't too bad but I would have thought it's a fairly basic requirement for a coffee shop. If I was out on my own, it'd be nice to go in for a cup of tea or whatever but, given the choice between wi-fi and no wi-fi, I know where I'd be going.

Costa coffee just opened at storm cinema:)

It used to be a restaurant a few years back.
