Friendly service, nice lattes, seating on two indoor levels and outside, nice location a block from Nenagh Castle, and outstanding food! Probably the best BBQ beef sandwich I've had anywhere in the world. Crisped cheese and fresh coleslaw on top, tangy BBQ sauce, tender meat -- I hope to finagle a return visit tomorrow!

Cute place in an actual alley! I loved to find this hidden Cafe, with a few outdoor seats to drink your coffee. They have many delicious looking food choices. From a variety of breads, salads and pastries. I just went in for coffee, and the service was lovely. Definitely recommend this spot for a morning or lunch bite. There are a handful of tables indoor to chose from too.

Staff was very friendly. Food was great... We where here on vacation and this restaurant was awesome. Definitely felt a small hometown feel.. And it's locally owned!

This year we returned to Ireland and also travelled to Nenagh, where we headed to this café again. And what can I say? We still loved it! It's great to see that the staff is still lovely, and that the drinks and snacks are also still great. We tried the soup of the day, and I had a wrap and a sandwich, and everything tasted great. Of course it's not fine dining, but it's a lovely and cosy café with good food!
