Very nice mocha, and would definitely return for another. Minus 1 star for the muffins. We bought muffins, and given the quality of the coffee, and at 4 euro you'd expect fresh and tasty pastries/buns. The muffins were average so my message to the owner would be, improve your pastries, to match your coffee. Found it a bit tight in there also but not much can be done with the space i guess.
Response from the owner
Enda, thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback and for the great compliment on our mocha!
Regarding our pastries: the vast majority of our offerings are homemade with care. The muffins are one of the very few exceptions—we keep them on the shelf simply because many of our customers regularly ask for them!
But next time you pop in, we’d love for you to try our freshly made-to-order French crêpes instead. They truly reflect what we do best and offer a much more unique, authentic experience.
Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

The crepe I ordered was the best I have had in Ireland so far, though admittedly only had a few. Staff was kind and helpful. Other dish, I forgot the name and forgot to get a picture, was also good. Smell of the oil, probably from the grill, was unpleasant; but bearable for good food and not eating in the cold wind.
Response from the owner
Thank you for such a great compliment, Brian! We are delighted to hear our crepe was the best you’ve had in Ireland so far.
Regarding the smell, being a small and intimate Parisian-style café, our open kitchen can sometimes carry the aromas of our fresh, home-made cooking. We appreciate your understanding and are glad the food made the visit worthwhile! We hope to see you again soon for another crepe.

A small little cafe serving hot chocolate, coffee and little treats. They recently launched a limited edition Crème Brûlée Hot Chocolate. Its an intetesting flavour and if you like hot chocolate do give it a try. The staff are super nice & friendly and the cafe has a very cozy vibe. Do visit if you happen to be in the area.

Wow, love this energy! So happy to hear that you and your wife had such a fun time with us. Our ice-cream topped with our dark chocolate is a real crowd-pleaser, and sitting out front is definitely the best way to enjoy it.
