Our Story

Welcome to The River & Road Cafe! Our journey began in December 2016 when we opened as No.5 Coffee House in Newbridge, Co. Kildare. From day one, our mission has been to serve fresh, delicious food prepared on site and to order. We pride ourselves on offering a diverse menu focused on breakfast and lunch. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty sandwich, a cooked breakfast, or a fresh salad, we've got something to satisfy your cravings. Of course, we also serve the usual favorites – tea, coffee, cakes, and soup.

In November 2023, an exciting new chapter began for us as we moved to a larger premises just across the street. With this move, we rebranded as The River & Road Cafe, allowing us to expand our menu and better accommodate larger groups, including families with buggies. Our commitment to providing a welcoming and comfortable environment led us to completely refurbish our shop in April. We installed a new floor, redesigned our counter area, and introduced mixed seating options to enhance your dining experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to The River & Road Cafe, where great food and a warm atmosphere await you! Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, or gathering with friends for lunch, our friendly staff and cozy setting ensure that every visit is special. Come and experience the delightful ambiance and delicious offerings that make The River & Road Cafe a beloved spot in Newbridge.
