If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

Bawnogue is generally associated with being a hub for bank robbers and those affiliated with the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics and certainly not with culinary delight! Honeycomb is a hidden gem! It's warm and inviting it's a really nice place to be! It feels like your living room with friendly bubbly staff. The food is really good, chicken club was amazing smally got a dippy poached egg with soldiers and it was lovely! The food was good take my word for that but it was the experience I enjoyed most! I rarely gush on here but I really enjoyed honeycomb

I used to be a frequent breakfast visitor to the Straffan tea rooms and four of us decided to…read morereturn today after a few months going to other venues. Today was not the same positive experience we used to enjoy. 1. I ordered the full Irish and asked for side of sweet potato (as shown on the vegetarian menu) instead of black pudding. The server said I can't have that. I didn't think I heard her correctly and asked if they have any potato. "Yes but you can only have it with the vegetarian breakfast as we have a limited supply." Never knew Ireland was short on spuds! 2. My friend has a sensitivity to egg yolks and asked for eggs with just whites. It couldn't happen as the chef can not separate (I'm not a chef but I can do this!) She then asked for the fried egg to be so well done that she could cut the yolk out. The eggs came nearly as runny as a poached egg. 3. We were offered a choice of white or brown toast with our breakfast. Later the server said that the white bread had not been cooked yet. We had to have homemade brown bread which is not the same with a full Irish breakfast. 4. We asked for jam for the brown bread. The server brought a mini side of jam that was barely enough for one piece of brown bread not the 8 slices at our table For the €13 breakfast (with coffees), we would expect a better experience like we get at Avoca's Egg Cafe

I popped in for breakfast with friends just before Christmas. Had a lovely poached egg with sausages (yummo - they source them from nearby Celbridge). The baked goods all looked gorgeous, and my son devoured his pastry without letting me try a bite! Staff was friendly and efficient, the prices were great, but mostly I'd recommend the Victorian Tea Rooms for the cosy atmosphere. Plus, the shopping at the Straffan Courtyard is not to be missed!

My absolute favourite lovely little gem in Maynooth. You'd nearly walk right past it, but if you do…read morespot it don't let it be the one that got away. I'd initially been a little intimidated by it, having had one of my lecturers refer to the unit as a "hipster mecca" in Maynooth, but far from it. There are funny blackboard drawings outside the shop, changed daily. Let the quirky cartoons lure you in and you'll be greeted with a chirpy hello & a smile by one of the lads behind the counter. It's my ultimate cheer-up place in the town. Just the right size (Goldilocks would be delighted with this joint) as you can sit & do your thing in peace, or chat away to the other customers (there are a lot of regulars). However, at busy times there might not be much (or anything) in the way of seating, but fear not young caffeine addict - they do coffee to take away. My drug of choice is their mocha. The mochas and hot chocolates are made with chocolate buttons, which is just super luxurious & is a real treat. Sometimes I've gotten spare hot chocolate in a dainty little espresso cup at the side of my mocha. Chocolate on the side of chocolate? This is why I come back. They also serve a small range of sandwiches, which are great for when all the coffee you've consumed starts to burn a hole in your stomach. The croque monsieur will change your life, without getting too overdramatic about it. They've got different roasts of beans on offer, sourced locally and changed frequently. If, like me, you've got a limited knowledge of these things (but like to pretend otherwise), just ask which they'd recommend and you'll be happy out. All in all, (excuse me) "a damn fine cup of coffee" as Agent Dale Cooper would say.
