Overview

Nestled right on Ormonde Street in Kilkenny, The Truffle Fairy feels like a sweet hidden gem you absolutely need to discover. Let’s be real: who doesn’t love chocolate? This shop has been casting its tasty spells since 2005, thanks to Chef Mary Teehan, who really knows her stuff when it comes to crafting truffles.

What’s the deal here? Well, it’s not just your average chocolate shop. We’re talkin’ handmade truffles that could make a chocolate lover swoon, along with fine flavor bars, brownies, and even vegan goodies. Seriously, they’ve got options everyone can enjoy.

And oh boy, let’s talk about that hot chocolate. Picture this: a mix of rich dark and creamy milk chocolate that’s blended to perfection. Customers rave that it’s some of the best around, hitting that sweet spot between bitter and sweet. Is it the local Irish milk? Who knows, but it’s a total game changer!

Alas, if you’re planning a casual hangout, this place is mostly take-out—so no cozy seats to linger in. But honestly, who needs them when you can walk out with a cup of liquid chocolate joy? Plus, the staff, aka the truffle fairies, are said to be super friendly. They’re ready to help you choose from a dazzling variety of chocolates, including indulgent options like salted caramel and even unique blends like passion fruit and gin.

If you’re munching on treats while exploring Kilkenny, it’s a delightful pitstop. Just a heads up, they’re closed quite a bit during the week, which is kinda a bummer but makes you appreciate it all the more when they are open.

So if you’re in the area and craving something sweet or just a killer hot chocolate, swing by The Truffle Fairy. You might just find yourself dreaming about it until your next visit. After all, with a 4.9 out of 5 score from 15 reviews, it’s hard to resist.
