A Brew-tiful Business

“It’s great to be nominated this year again, very happy that my business and our work is being recognised. And great for local businesses getting noticed and also the night of the awards is great night to socialise and meet other business. I would recommend to everyone to get involved. Thanks!”

Petra Kriva opened Yumm Café in September of 2019, and her name choice is accurate!

Having worked as a chef and pastry chef for 6 years, she had always dreamed of opening her very own cafe. She adapted with Covid, and switched the business to takeaway, and these days, the comfy, cosy cafe has 11 staff and a fantastic menu.

Seasonal treats, cakes for all kinds of occasions, speciality cookies, pancakes and waffles, and a French toast with Dottie and Dora’s goat cheesethere’s something for everyone! Everything is made in house, and Yumm are always looking to expand their products and maybe one day, to sell online.

Young and old flock from all over to enjoy Yumm’s tasty treats.

In 2022, the cafe won Best Use of Digital marketing at the IRD Duhallow Business Awards, and since then they’ve gone from strength to strength.

Their cakes have only gotten more impressive since then too! Already they’re offering their Late Late Toy Show Treat box, and their multi layered, personalised cakes are a sight to behold!

It’s a challenge to look at their Instagram and Facebook without getting hungry!
