Discover The Pantry: A Mixed Bag Experience

So, I popped into The Pantry recently, nestled in the City Square Shopping Centre, Waterford. Honestly, it’s buzzing up on Level 4, and you can’t miss those pancake stacks that everyone raves about. You step in and, bam, you’re hit with the aroma of fresh coffee, mainly that Blue Butterfly Irish brew. At least, that’s what I was told, but the jury’s still out on that one.

The vibe? It’s pretty casual, and I’d say it’s a friendly little spot if you’re looking to chill with some food. I saw quite a mix of people. Tourists, families, and locals all grabbing a bite. But let’s get real. With 80 reviews and a 3.2 out of 5 score, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster ride.

Now, some folks have had a blast here, loving the friendly staff and delectable desserts. I couldn’t resist trying their French toast with maple bacon, and oh man, that was one delicious plate! That Chef Quigley? Turns out she’s got quite the rep for being warm and welcoming—just what you need when you’re starving!

But then, there are these horror stories about hair in food or cold soup. Yikes! I mean, who wants that? I did notice tables could use a good wipe down, though. Let’s be frank, a seat amidst dirty plates is not my idea of cozy dining, right?

Still, The Pantry isn’t all doom and gloom. They’ve got decent coffee and an array of meals that can satisfy many. For breakfast? Heck yeah! I’m all for a good chicken Caesar salad and all-day brunches.

If you’re in Waterford, maybe check it out. You might just find a little nugget of joy between the pancakes and pastries. Just remember, don’t go in expecting perfection—it’s a mixed bag. But hey, isn’t that part of the adventure?
