Matilda's Artisan Bakery, Café, & Deli

This is one of the rare spots in Ireland where the hot chocolate is the real deal—actual melted chocolate, not the usual powder shortcut. Service runs crisp and attentive, the pastries and products are curated rather than generic, and the overall experience elevates the entire city’s value proposition. The place doesn’t just serve customers; it sets a benchmark others should be aiming for.

Lovely bakery with beautiful cakes, scones and bakes, fresh artisan loaves and a fine coffee selection- the flat white was great. It was busy each time we visited, always a good sign. They do fresh sandwiches to order as well as sausage rolls etc. They also have vegan options and plant milks available. Very friendly service 👍

I loved everything! The service was wonderful. They made me one of the best sandwiches I've had in my adult life on their beautiful sourdough (excuse the mess I made of it in my photo while eating it!). The matcha latte was great and the bakes were all superb. Lots of nice treats to enjoy here- homemade granola, overnight oats, breads, all sorts of bakes, soup, sandwiches, crisps, preserves... So happy to stop here on my journey ☺️ Thank you ❤️

Popped in for a bite to eat while passing through. Whay a beautiful little place. The food was beautiful and served with great coffee. Staff are very welcome too

Expensive for iced carmel latte decaf a cookie, tea and Welsh bun over 20 euro. Rang about Roulade for Christmas 65 euro. Rip off.

Heard that black pudding sausage roll is nice and gotta try when we were passing by. Sausage roll was nice but we’ve tried different herby sausage rolls in different places and this one didn’t reach to that level unfortunately. Maybe we expected too much. Eclair was very airy and chocolatey. Don’t usually like eclairs but it was very tasty!

Best bakery I found in Ireland. Good small town vibe, family owned and operated. Home baked delicious food actually baked on premises - sadly too rare these days. I had the best sausage roll I've ever had. Too bad I didn't take a picture. But my girlfriend took a picture of her rhubarb pie. Go out of your way to stop there.

Excellent spot. Great selection of drinks and food. Very friendly staff, clean and well run. Go here. You will not regret it
