The Trough

The Trough has become one of Wexford’s most recognisable café brands since siblings Conor and Lesley Bates first opened their doors six years ago. What began as a simple idea has grown into a collection of six cafés, earning a loyal following through great coffee, fresh food and genuine Wexford hospitality.

Their spacious Wexford town café reflects everything people love about The Trough, offering plenty of room for families, parents with buggies, larger groups, casual coffee catch-ups and even four-legged visitors. The welcoming atmosphere, comfortable seating and relaxed surroundings make it a place where people can meet, unwind and feel at home.

While the café has grown, its focus remains unchanged: quality coffee, simple, delicious food and a warm welcome for every customer. The larger space also allows The Trough to take bookings and host private events, including after-hours gatherings, making it an ideal venue for celebrations, meetings and special occasions.

Whether you’re stopping in for your morning coffee, meeting friends for lunch or looking for a welcoming space to host an event, The Trough continues to be a favourite destination for locals and visitors alike.
