Pennyfeather Cafe in Kilkenny is highly praised for its bright, modern atmosphere and its unique location above a bookstore. Reviewers frequently mention the friendly and attentive staff, particularly during their popular bottomless brunch service. The food quality is generally excellent, with specific mentions of the Capri sandwich, chocolate pancakes, and perfectly poached eggs. While most diners enjoy the menu, one reviewer noted that the avocado on the toast seemed like a paste rather than fresh fruit. The cafe's layout, including a balcony overlooking the bookshop, provides a great spot for people-watching. It is described as an ideal place for small groups or solo diners, though visitors should note it is accessed via stairs.
