The café boasts a menu that reflects its commitment to quality, featuring a range of hearty offerings sure to satisfy any palate. Their special Easter Sunday Lunch gives a taste of seasonal flavors, with options like perfectly roasted lamb and a hearty vegan lentil nut roast, complemented by a comforting soup or invigorating coffee/tea to start. And let’s not forget the indulgent rhubarb and strawberry crumble that wraps up the meal—an absolute treat for just €20.00!

For those looking for something lighter, their Sandwiches offer generous portions and fresh ingredients.

Used to come here all the time, breakfast is great but unfortunately dogs are no longer allowed which is a shame, hopefully they reconsider :)

I stopped by today for a quick takeaway and was impressed. I only intended to grab a coffee, but the tempting selection of food convinced me to pick up more. I ended up leaving with an excellent coffee, a tasty quiche, and a slice of carrot cake—all absolutely delicious! The staff were really friendly and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again.

Nice food, very nice wait staff. We came in close to closing time and they still were able to accommodate us (thanks to a quiche and a microwave). Ate there twice (not late the second time). Delicious!

I can't get over the value. Simple menu done well. They even allow good dogs. Really nice atmosphere. It can get noisy when busy but the outdoor seating solves that. They showcase art and hold openings with the artist. It's lovely.

Coffee is spectacular. We often come here with the children after either soccer or hurling, and the soup is always a great way to get them going again after a cold rainy match! There is always something new on the menu, and staff are a delight, very friendly.

Feels like you had walked into your favorite aunty's kitchen. Most amazing vegan pastry options available, just not one for the sake of completion but an array.....something for everyone. Just love this place.....
