What recent reviewers mention most:
Coffee
This is a lovely coffee shop that has a limited food menu. The cheese toastie was good as was the hot chocolate. Although the toastie is €9 there is a deal with a hot drink for €10 which is good value. There is limited seating and the staff are friendly..
I asked not heated sausage roll and got a burnt one 🫠
First time, won't be my last. Great service, food and coffee.
