Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stopped here today for coffee and cake and so glad we did. This is a really lovely spot serving excellent homemade baked goods in a beautiful welcoming environment. We will be back to taste some more of their products but if the coffee and cakes are anything to go by, it will be excellent. Very nicely decorated and spotlessly clean with friendly helpful staff.

The waitresses working there are all extremely kind, caring and always ready to help. Since I am a vegetarian who can’t have dairy either, I wasn‘t too happy at first when I saw the menu. When I asked for dry pasta the waitress offered me a dairy free sauce that wasn’t on the menu, just made for me. Tasty glutenfree options are available as well. Overall, the food was incredibly delicious! I couldn‘t recommend this place enough!

We ate here six times in 10 days for breakfast, inside and out. Great location and service. Quality of food was consistently good. Variants to the menus accepted readily. Sometimes the delivered meal was not as advertised on the menu e.g. once no mushrooms nor tomato with my small Irish.

Expensive with mixed service. Food is good but portions aren’t very big and price is pretty high. No tea or coffee included with breakfast which is unusual. Service seems to depend on who you get, some staff are sound and really good at their job, others less so and definitely one quite rude lady there. I’ve eaten there twice in last 2 weeks and definitely a mixed bag. Lovely location and when it’s good it’s really good, shame about the value and occasionally the service.

For me there are too many options on the menu and almost everything contains peppers which I can’t stand. However, the biggest problem for me was the mediocre food. The wrap I ordered was nice but nothing special. The salad that came with it was laughable. It came with the tiniest little bowl of cous-cous I have ever seen in my life 😂. In comparison to other restaurants in the area such as Perry Street or The Pavilion, this cafe needs to up its game in the food-stakes. With an amazing location it is such a pity that the food is so disappointing.

My and family and I have been coming to the River End Cafe for years now and it's as fantastic today as it was when I first went there over 10 years ago. The menu for breakfast and lunch is great, with a healthy ingredients, generous portions and always presented impeccably. The staff are very hard working, provide excellent customer service and above all in my opinion; are friendly and chatty to all their customers. The location of the cafe is excellent, especially when the weather is kind and you can sit outside. It would be great if they could add a small extension to cater for a bit more space inside and to add a few more tables as it can be hard to get a table when times are busy. Overall; well worth a visit for breafast, lunch or even a nice coffee and some cake. Continued success to the owner and her staff.

This is a lovely cafe/restaurant set in a great location. I really like it but had a couple of issues at my most recent visit. There were 5 of us having lunch. The tables are far too small for that many people and we weren’t allowed to put two tables together so it was a bit of a squash. Secondly, it would be great if there was a brunch menu and if the child’s menu was a bit more child friendly. There were limited options if you didn’t fancy lunch yet and not much for a child who eats plain food. The service was very good though.

Visited Rivers End Cafe today for lunch. It was very busy so we returned an hour later to find a beautiful table outside waiting for us. The view was amazing.
It was difficult picking lunch from the menu as there were so many dishes we wanted to try! The seafood chowder and the chicken and chorizo salad were amazing.
Very good, friendly service.
Would definitely recommend and will look forward to visiting again when we are next in the area.
Would enjoy working my way through the menu.

This is a small busy cosy cafe and getting a table can be difficult particularly if you are a large group. The seating is quirky and makes the best of the space available. Some people may feel a little cramped but the setting with the sea view is nice. We have found the service to be pleasant and friendly. The food is fresh, cakes and tarts are really nice and the coffee is good. This is a good stop if in Crosshaven and there is ample public parking close by.

Fantastic harbourside cafe with friendly staff and great tasting food. The building itself is rather unprepossessing, but the daily specials are to die for. We popped in for a coffee on our first day in Crosshaven and enjoyed two lunches there in our three days stay. Our cousin who knows it well says that she used to have breakfast there when she brought her daughter to Crosshaven for work.

Food was very nice and staff were very kind and very professional .. 5* service. Well done. However, I gave 3* for value. I got 2 average fishcakes + a little salad on the side + some small potatoes on the side + one coke. All this for €18 !! Fairly expensive. It is not the French Riviera or Lake Garda...
