Stopped here on our way out of Galway and had a delightful flat white with oat milk and bacon and cheese toastie. Coffee was strong and the service was so friendly. The pair working that morning made the last leg of our trip lovely.
A gem , a must visit. Great coffee and offering in a scenic setting
What a delightful find when visiting Ireland from Canada. We stopped at Athenry to see the town Sunday morning and found this gem. The owners where very courteous and coffee/pastry a hit. Unknowingly, the guy I bought a coffee for was Fergus Farrell, an inspiration to so many.... Great memory!
