Kilkenny cafe hits the national news

Crafted, a coffee shop based in Bennettsbridge, has been named as one of 21 great road stops in Ireland by the Irish Times.

Owned by Katie Gordan and Gail Johnson, the Co Kilkenny store offers customers a unique blend of hot drinks, snacks and an opportunity to browse through crafts curated by the two local business people.

The article complemented the local business, located on Main Street in the village, stating: "Crafted offers a rest point for walkers, cyclists and motorists alike. Owners, Katie Gordon and Gail Johnson use local ingredients for their varied menus."

Homemade pork, apple sausages and freshly made fishcakes are just some of the items included on the menu.
