My favourite cafe in Carlow 100%, Cindy is so welcoming and kind. The toasties there are amazing and I always come out in such a good mood. The atmosphere is very calming and the selection of cakes is great.

Friendly staffAtmosphereDesserts & cakes
Cindy was wonderful! The atmosphere she gave off was beautiful, and the atmosphere of the café was so peaceful. There's some seating space for the indoors, and a table outside too if that's what you prefer. Sadly I forgot to take photos, but trust me - the food looks as phenomenal as it tastes! The only reason the price is 10-20 per person instead of 1-10 is because I had a taster session with my partner so we bought a little bit of everything. The quality is excellent, and she's expanding her menu so there's more options every week as well. She also goes to the Carlow Market every Saturday and brings cakes that aren't sold originally in the store on week days. I strongly recommend you visit whenever you can!
We came to Cindy's bakery today, the iced coffee was great and the slice of pecan pie was so nice I bought a whole one. But most of all, the staff were an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend coming here.
Thank you so much Alex👩🍳❤️ …
