Friendly staffTasty foodBreakfast
I got a takeout lunch and was impressed by the friendly helpful server, how quickly it arrived and how delicious it was. It was just over €11. It’s just what I liked, not too much bread and a great balance of protein to vegetables. The soup was full of goodness and flavour (I bet they used a good stock).
Best breakfast and lunch by far to get in athenry. Quality is consistent you can tell the food is always fresh. Little to no wait on the food, excellent prices. Could not fault it.
Best breakfast we have had in Ireland! Lovely cafe, very welcoming and friendly to both 2 and 4 legged guests. The breakfast was delicious and so big we don’t need to eat for the rest of the day. Really super cafe and highly recommended.
