Undrinkable coffee and staff kept repeatedly banging into my daughter's high chair. The space has so much potential but felt cold when we visited. Food was fine. When I went to pay at the counter a staff member was blowing her nose and then proceeded...to bag up pastries for a customer - in this day and age is utterly unacceptable. Won't return.More
Hey Sure. Thanks for the review. Unfortunately you review is from 6 months ago but only posted today so I can’t really investigate it give you answers. What I will say is we were only open a couple of weeks in December and I can...More
Very disappointed with the food, I ordered lasagne which was ice cold in the middle, I'm not one for complaining but this was inedible, By the time my replacement food arrived my husband was finished his. When we went to pay the girl said she...discounted mine , when we looked at receipt the discount was six euro! I really should of complained more , very very disappointed.More
So sorry you had this experience and it should not have happened. I would be delighted if you would contact me personally at info@ryerivercafe.com I would love you to come back and have a much improved experience on us. Thank you for the review Shona
Delicious food, generous portions, polite staff and pretty quick service even though it was busy. Will definitely be back.
Well done on new venue. Lovely ambiance, tgo do understand concerns re heating. Not an easy space to heat, but, today, lovely. That with general ambiance, airiness ( I know, but it was mild today), great friendly staff, and, above all, tasty well presented meals....Thank you, will be backMore
Lovely cafe, staff are really kind, very nice coffee and food, I really enjoyed it and will visit again.
We were waiting an hour and a half for food 😭 nice decor but freezing cold and service was very slow
Here this morning for breakfast with friends, food great, staff lovely but if you sit anywhere near door you'll die from the cold draught that will whip the legs off you. I am regularly there with different friends and each time I go I live...in hope of the place being a bit warmer, I'm not sure if there's any type of heating in it and the old school shape with high ceilings doesn't help.I hate having to eat with my coat and scarf still on . Maybe a spring on the inside door might help to keep it closed or an over the door heater. To be fair there are signs asking customers to close the door behind them, our observations so far is that does not happen. The cold today there made our gathering so miserable that we didn't stay for seconds on the coffee. Have mentioned all of this on numerous occasions to staff but it appears to have fallen on deaf ears.More
Hi Marguerite, I’m not sure if you’re aware but the building is a listed building built in 1872. That means the windows, walls and doors are protected. We cannot add a spring to a protected door although we have asked numerous carpenters to look at...More
A group of us had well-earned coffee & scones in the Rye River Cafe today after our Parkrun. Thanks for the good-humoured helpful service. It is a beautiful spot but it is the service that makes it extra special.
Thank you so much
This was a great little place when it was on the bridge but since moving to the bigger and fancier premises it has gone downhill. It started off great when it reopened but since then the food and service have declined. It's a victim of...its success. The food is slow to arrive, but at least they tell you in advance about the waiting time, however it is then dried out - obviously left sitting under lamps before serving. The food that arrives is often not what you ordered but as the wait is so long you just take it. Also be careful when paying as I was over charged on a couple of occasions but only realised later. Many less tables and more attention to detail would be better.More
Thanks for your review Pauline. Sorry you had this experience. I’m not sure how you can be overcharged. Our system is fully automated so you only get charged for what was brought to your table. The fact you say this happened more than once without...More
Great friendly service with lots of people working buzzing around. Everyone had a smile on their face and were very welcoming. Got a smokehouse burger and southern fried chicken wrap to go. The burger was genuinely one of the tastiest I’ve had in a while...- crispy bacon and delicious relish really made it. Beef was a good mix of smashed and normal. Chicken wrap was amazingly tasty and did not need one extra ingredient - the perfect mix. Will definitely be back again.More
Ordered two hash dishes as well as pancakes, both hash’s came out missing tomatoes and onions which were listed on the menu and we highlighted this to the waitress.. she discussed this with the chef and came back and gave us raw onions and tomatoes...in a cup to which I nearly laughed in shock.. raw food given for a hot dish.. in the end we had a word with the supervisor who took the drinks off which was around a fiver and never offered to remove even one of the hash dishes off the bill.. I also found it baffling that they never offered to replace the meal with the correct one at the time or even asked were we happy to continue with the meal with the missing ingredients.. the supervisor mentioned that there must’ve been a miscommunication with the kitchen and the waitress but how could the chef forget the main ingredients for a dish listed on the menu and provide raw ingredients for a hash dish?! Too many excuses and the lack of experience really showed between the waitress and supervisor.. disappointing experience because the food was decent.More
Thank you for taking the time to review our cafe. Your feedback is really appreciated. I’m genuinely sorry this happened and I will fully investigate and come back to you. It is way below our standard and not acceptable. If you could pop me an...More
No wonder we had a little wait for a table, the place was packed because it’s amazing!! The food, the service and it was worth the wait. I had the pesto chicken wrap with salad and it was so fresh and delicious. I will return...when I come back to Ireland!More
Absolutely fabulous meal, can’t fault one part of it. Everyone loved their food, the staff was so friendly with such a nice atmosphere. It was so nicely decorated and clean. Will 100% be back cant recommend more!
Having heard mixed reviews from friends/family about service in the new premises, I was pleasantly surprised and could not fault our experience in any way. Had to wait just a few minutes for a table (5 of us) as it was so busy, but service...was absolutely excellent, fast and friendly and food was truly delicious.More
Thank you so much for such a beautiful breakfast. I had the smashed white with sourdough bread and my husband had the Irish breakfast . Both were absolutely beautiful and well worth the drive from Dublin!!! The coffee was so so nice!! The staff are...all so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is fantastic!!!! Can't wait to go back.More
