Grow Hq - Waterford

Just popped in with a friend for coffee and a scone after 11:00am. Packed. Buzzy atmosphere. Happiest staff I have ever seen. Always seem delighted to be working there.

Coffee is very bad. Not many plant milks. But salads are interesting.

Great idea for a cafe and lovely brekkie for the post wedding hangover!! Highly recommend

We were visiting Waterford for a day trip and after doing some basic research found GrowHQ to be quite popular. The concept of having their own farm and using their own produce really pulled us to the place. They’ve ample parking and as soon as we entered the place had a good vibe greenery, shining sun and we also saw a small greenhouse with vine tomatoes. The place has ample indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is quite exhaustive with vegetarian options. They’ve a distinction of mezze and lunch options. Staff was very friendly and accommodative. The food was decent overall. Most dishes were ok like the cucumber salad, chips, potato hash and coffee. Some things we liked: vegetarian quiche, was the standout, as called out in most reviews beetroot falafel, portion size was small, only 3 pieces but a good change from the regular falafel with the twist of beetroot combo of soup, side salad and half vegetarian sandwich, this was really nice, just enough in terms of portion. The potato and herb soup was a bit thin compared to most soups I’ve had in diluted but the herby taste was nice. The vegetarian sandwich was quite good too. coffee was ok, oat milk was not handled well. The sourdough bread they serve is excellent, it’s from a local bakery. Desserts: flapjack and protein balls were decent the special bread and butter pudding wasn’t good. A bit eggy and sour, also salty which didn’t really give it a dessert feel.

Their meze is incredible! I always enjoy eating there.
