The coffee here is genuinely good, and those little buns are a nice treat. I grabbed a seat by the window and just chilled for a bit. Cozy spot, not too crowded in the afternoon. The bun was fresh, which I appreciated. Wish they had a few more healthy snack options, but the coffee alone makes it worth stopping by.

The full Irish breakfast here is proper generous &mdash; eggs done right, pudding not greasy at all. Just wish I&#39;d clocked that tea and coffee were extra before we ordered. Ended up paying a bit more than I expected but the plate itself was solid. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back for it again.

The pasta was honestly as good as what I had in Florence, and the vegan options are lovely too. Nice spot for catching up with friends over dinner. 🍝

Decent enough pizza if you&#39;re after classic takeaway style. I ordered online for collection, which was smoother and cheaper than dealing with the counter. Food was ready when I got there. Nothing fancy, but it does the job for a quick dinner. Fine for what it is.

Stopped in for a coffee last week and it was spot on. They do a decent homemade protein ball too, not too sweet. Staff were sound, had a bit of a chat while I waited. Place was busy enough but I got served quick enough. Fair play to them, it&#39;s a solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Stumbled into this place and it proper felt like stepping back in time. The Guinness was spot on, creamy and all. Staff were dead sound, had a bit of craic with them. There&#39;s a &#39;Bird Cage&#39; bit out the back for live music, class touch. Only thing, it got a bit packed later on but sure that&#39;s the sign of a good spot.

Been twice now, food&#39;s proper fresh and homemade. Coffee was so good I grabbed a bag for home. Small spot though, bit of a squeeze.

Crispy plaice was spot on &mdash; tender, flaky, proper seaside taste. Staff sorted us quickly without fuss. Decent spot if you&#39;re nearby.

Pancakes and milkshakes are spot on. Portions are big, staff are sound. Gets busy though, so you&#39;ll queue at peak times. Still worth it.

The salmon with mash and veg in white sauce was spot on&mdash;proper comfort food, well-seasoned. Easily the best meal I&#39;ve had in a while.

Tiny little place but the cabbage dish genuinely blew me away 😅 Didn&rsquo;t expect much from a veggie plate but it was so light and well done. Deffo book ahead though, it&rsquo;s packed.

Nice spot for hanging out with friends, honestly. We grabbed a table outside and it was chill enough to just sit and chat for ages. Food was decent, nothing crazy but did the job. The kids&#39; play area is a bonus if you&#39;ve got little ones tagging along. Would come back for a relaxed afternoon.

The southern fried chicken was proper good, and the price felt fair for what you got. Service was sound too, really looked after us without hovering.

The biryani here is proper - really flavourful and the portion size caught me off guard. Good price for what you get.

The staff actually remember you when you come back - that never gets old. Got my usual order and it came out fast, still hot. Solid spot for a relaxed dinner when you can&#39;t be bothered cooking.

Stopped in for the first time last week&mdash;owner Michael actually came over for a quick chat, proper welcoming. Place was spotless too. Got the chicken dish, it was solid, nothing fancy but done right. Reckon I&rsquo;ll be back, that kind of easy vibe is hard to find.

Proper pub grub and the prices were fair for what you got. Staff didn&#39;t fuss when we took our time deciding. Solid stop if you&#39;re in the area.

Grabbed takeaway sushi here last week. Fish was fresh, packaging held up fine on the walk back. Portion size decent for the price. Nothing fancy but it does the job when you need a quick fix. Wouldn&#39;t go out of my way for it, but it&#39;s a solid option if you&#39;re nearby.

First time in this place and the covid stuff was handled well. Staff were sound, food was decent for the price. Reckon I&#39;ll be back.
