Just WOW. Neither the sandwich you take, soup or coffee will disappoint you! What’s worthy? Both walking till here or waiting a bit while they are really putting some efforts and paying attention on their work! Great taste and quality.

Delicious and fresh sandwiches, the coffee was very good as well. Staff members were very nice. We went twice in 3 days, we had to continue our trip to Kerry otherwise we would have come back again

Great sandwiches and great coffee. Staff was very kind. If you are a turist prices are Ireland prices. No surprises. But in this place you really get high quality ingredients and service. 100% recommended. Support local business.

Studying abroad near here and only tried this place 4 weeks into my program unfortunately. Probably one of the biggest regrets of my trip so far. It’s incredible. Particularly the salmon bagel. Probably the best bagel I’ve ever had. The cook is also super friendly and will cut up with you while he makes your food right in front of you. Very chummy with locals but he makes foreigners feel welcome and included. Easily a 10/10 experience.
