Breakfast, Lunch & Coffee in People’s Park, Waterford
Set inside People’s Park, Park Lodge Cafe is one of Waterford’s most pleasantly located spots for breakfast, lunch or coffee. The café occupies a restored listed Edwardian lodge at the entrance to the park, around a 10-minute walk from the heart of Waterford City.
With the park’s green spaces, walking paths and children’s playgrounds just outside, it is particularly convenient for families, walkers and anyone looking for somewhere relaxed away from the busier city-centre streets.
Breakfast, Lunch & Coffee
Park Lodge Cafe serves breakfast and lunch alongside coffee, cakes, desserts and sweet treats.
Breakfast choices include familiar favourites such as a full Irish breakfast, eggs, omelettes and lighter options, while the daytime offering makes the café suitable for anything from a morning coffee to lunch during a visit to the park.
Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available, although menus and individual dishes can change.
A Café in People’s Park
The location is what really sets Park Lodge apart.
The café is housed in a restored Edwardian lodge at the entrance to People’s Park, giving it considerably more character than a conventional high-street coffee shop.
There is outdoor seating for fine-weather days, while families have the park’s two playgrounds, skatepark and large open green spaces close by.
That makes Park Lodge particularly useful for parents: have breakfast or lunch, grab a coffee and let the children enjoy some time in the park afterwards.
The café is equally well placed for walkers and joggers looking for refreshments before or after using the park.

Waterford In Your Pocket Tip
Make the café and park one visit.
If you’re travelling with children, breakfast or lunch at Park Lodge followed by the playground is an easy way to spend a couple of hours without leaving the city.
On a fine day, choose the outdoor seating and enjoy the park setting. If you’re only stopping briefly, it’s also a handy place to pick up a coffee before taking a walk around People’s Park.
