“Great coffee”

Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

Great place for breakfast, and for any kiwis out there, they do great lattes. We have found it very hard to get a decent coffee since travelling the UK, this was our first night in Ireland and we are glad we stopped here. Great staff, great breakfast and lovely environment. Great price too.

The surroundings are classy, the atmosphere warm and they're really involved with the local community - hosting events, sponsoring, raising money for charities and have the best of local music entertainment. A great spot to catch the... More
