Great spot - incredible staff, amazing food / beverages and very reasonable prices.
I stopped in here for coffee while on a walk recently. It was very busy, which is appropriate for a Saturday morning, but I noticed that Opera was at least twice as busy as any of the other places I passed along the way and that’s always a good indication of a great spot, which is why I stopped in here. The coffee was fantastic - I’ve been a barista myself for many years and this was the first time I’d ever seen or even heard of somewhere mixing iced coffee in a cocktail shaker. It’s an amazing idea though and my coffee was properly mixed and also slightly aerated, which made for a nice texturing. I hadn’t intended to buy anything else, but when I saw the huge range of cakes on display I was tempted. I got the lemon meringue tartlet and a flapjack, and both were incredible. What really made this visit special however was the staff. I was served by two girls - one with short slightly curly brown hair and one with long, straight dark hair. Both of them were obviously under a lot of pressure with a rush happening, but both made sure to chat with me while they worked and did so incredibly efficiently. I had a look at the menu for the restaurant as I very briefly waited for my coffee and the menu not only looks very varied, but I was genuinely shocked by how reasonable the prices were. My coffees and cakes too were very cheap. I live closer to Dublin and the prices in my area are significantly more, everywhere. The people of Wicklow are very very lucky to have such a gem on their main street. I’ll definitely be back again.
