Lovely Staff! Delicious food that definitely makes you want to come back for more and even take some home.
The Sourdough is out of this world fresh.
They have delivery, so will be getting more orders on the regular.
Very cosy for working, reading and a date.
One of the Best Cafes I have been too in Kilkenny.
Thank you so much for your kind review very much appreciated
Extremely disappointed by this overpriced, unfriendly café. Ham and cheese sandwich (15€!) was greasy, salad looked from the week before (brown), service was abysmal (didn't even look at us when trying to order, dirty glasses, had to get our own water and cutlery).
We take customer feedback seriously, but we are concerned because several details in your review do not match our café. The toastie in the photograph is not our bread, salad or lettuce, and the price you quoted is not the price we charged for our ham and cheese toastie. We also cannot verify the meal shown from your description.
If this review was intended for another café, we'd appreciate if you could check and update it. If you did visit Wildflower Café, we'd be happy to discuss your experience directly and resolve any genuine concerns.
I'm no food critic, but I like good food. In all the years of coming to Kilkenny City I've never realized Butler's Gallery exists, let alone Wild Flower Cafe in it. The food menu is simple, but excellent. This is NOT aimed at the Fast Food crowd. They also have a full menu of healthy ayurvedic drinks. I had the Maca and my wife had the Turmeric chai. She had the Beetroot and goats cheese salad. I've never tasted beetroot done like this. Gorgeous. I stick with my simple food - ham and vintage cheese toastie. No sliced cheese. The real deal. The food was excellent. Would love to come back in summer and sit in the garden. Being in a gallery, it is nearly like eating in a library😄 people are respectful of others and although it wasn't hugely busy on a could winter Sunday, it was great.
Thank you so much for your kind review very much appreciated
