A bit about us…
Carter’s Chocolate Café opened as The Chocolate Shop in 2010 in the heart of Waterford City, in the South-East of Ireland. Opening during a recession, the plan was to sell chocolates and hot chocolate and see how the Christmas Season went. With Valentine’s and Easter getting busy, people kept asking for coffee, and so the Café was born!
We started squeezing lemons and started making our own lemonade which became so popular, we had to start bottling, and eventually won a Gold award at Blás na hÉireann; the annual Irish Food Awards!
Carter’s Chocolate Café has gone from strength to strength and celebrated 10 years in business in 2020 after building a loyal customer base, and always having a team of wonderful staff. In 2020 No.9 and Carters expanded to create The Stable Yard Food Hall, opening The Ice Cream Place, and The Stable Yard Bakery, with The Stable Yard Deli and Mediterranean Food Store that followed in 2021.
