Kildare (Irish: Cill Dara, meaning "church of the oak") is a town in County Kildare, Ireland. Its population of 8,412 (2011 Census) makes it the eighth largest town in County Kildare and the 55th largest in the state, with a growth rate of 8% since the 2006 census. Although Kildare gives its name to the county, Naas is the county town. The town lies on the R445, some 50 km (31 mi) west of Dublin – near enough for it to have become, despite being a regional centre in its own right, a commuter town for the capital.

Square Coffee and Retail, Kildare Towns first Third Wave coffee bar, We feel it is a unique and welcome addition to the Square and town alike. Opened in December 2017 by Pam and Alan, Square offers a beautifully designed retail and gallery space alongside a speciality coffee bar. At Square it's not only about the coffee, great coffee is just our standard. It’s the welcoming, enthusiastic team of baristas and the well designed, aesthetically pleasing space that combine to create an environment to enjoy while browsing or admiring the art while your espresso shot is being prepared. We are massive advocates of supporting sustainability, fairly traded and local produce, our ethically sourced coffee which will always be Specialty Grade or above is roasted in Naas. We are currently working with four bakers and producers for our delicious accompaniments who are all based in Kildare town.
The huge chocolate squares I had with my excellent coffee. Due to Covid 19 restrictions you may enter and purchase take away products only so no time to sit and chat. Even so you are greeted with the lovely aroma of coffee and good food causing you to salivate. Maybe not everybody does but there is something about the smell of freshly ground coffee and the Barista banging away the old grinds and preparing a new cup of coffee for you. Inside as you wait in a small queue (3 meters apart and all that) you get a lovely sense of peace and calm minus the buzz of people sitting and eating etc. While it is strange to go to a coffee shop and do take away food and drink it is still a lovely experience. Added to the eternal patience of the staff and it is not easy to understand us customers in our masks no matter how trendy some of them are. Questions regarding Gluten Free products are welcome and unlike a lot of coffee shops they have a good range so my wife was more than happy. Your cake is put into a nice little square box not a shiny plastic one. More classy I think myself and it makes you feel like you had a better experience than coffee at a Petrol station on the motorway. There are a few seats scattered around on the street outside and it is a nice place to sit on an Autumnal day watching the buses come in and go out and people pushing buggies with babies and normal life going on. Yes there is nothing square about this coffee shop. Good food, coffee, friendly staff and great service.

This state-owned commercial stud farm also incorporates the world famous Japanese Gardens and wild Irish St Fiachra's Garden as well as the Irish Racehorse Experience, Living Legend's, Gift Shop and restaurant. It is also home to some of Ireland's most famous racehorses.
A very interesting place, educational as well as a place to enjoy peaceful family time. 2 for 1 ticket price through the Irish Heritage leaflet made the cost exceptional and well worth the visit. The horses are so well looked after, the information is interesting and the grounds are immaculately kept. The Japanese garden is an added bonus, peace and tranquility await, a visual piece of art in every corner, vibrant colours abundant in every space, purity at its best! The cafe is lovely, serving delicious food, especially the cake/dessert selection. Worth a visit if in Co Kildare.

It is such a gorgeous wee village and the first thing to do when you get there is to go to the Visitor’s Centre where you get a very warm welcome, lots of information and an excellent little video for 10 minutes that introduces you to the sights of the town, including Saint Brigid’s. The church itself is wonderfully historic with several additional features include the fire temple and the round tower. They’re all really worth seeing, particularly if you get the information first from the Visitors’ centre. We loved our stop here and wish we had more time to explore.

I went to Kildare village knowing what it was about, having visited in the past. It is an experience place to go to. I went with the idea of not buying anything, but with the value ended up purchasing a bit. Starbucks has a great variety of drinks especially over the xmas season. I was disappointed to see "Jack Wills" had departed, as was one of my favourite previous shops to visit. The staff, guides and covid officers are pleasant and helpful. There is a variety of shops and alternate ranges to pick from. Ralph Lauren, Superdry, Molton Brown, Joules, Calvin Klein & Nike to name but just a few. My advice for lunch: Just beyond the perimeter near tesco there is an Italian restaurant called YOLO (you only live once) and I would highly recommend when hungry.
