Their chocolate brownie is to die for and their oat cappuccino absolutely spot on. The biggest surprise was the cost, coming in at least two euro less than any café I've been in recently and I visit a lot of cafés' so extraordinary value for money. Definitely worth the cycle from Monasterevin. Thank you

The food is amazing, the coffee is really good. Staff could be a bit more friendly (at least smile from time to time?). Overall, I would recommend

A fantastic place! Excellent service, fabulous food at reasonable prices, and a great atmosphere. What more could you ask for? Parking may be an issue on a busy day, but otherwise, this was one of the best country cafes we have ever been to.

Wonderful local café. We went there and as vegans we are always conscious about being awkward. The staff could not have been more accommodating and the food was delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. The girls even brought out a bowl of water for our dogs! Lovely service, lovely atmosphere - we will certainly be back and recommending to our friends.
