Best food since arriving in Ireland! Food was fresh and flavorful, staff was very friendly. Pleasant change from the fish and chips or pizza every other restaurant is offering. Chicken pesto sandwich and falafel pita were amazing. Shop also has some unique coffee shop / grab n go items for sale. read more

This place was a surprise find. Delicious and lovely spot within walking distance from the sites of Athlone. Halfway between Dublin and Galway so perfect lunch spot on the drive between the cities. read more

Quick tips: if you're driving, look for street parking! Free wifi! Great portions for the price As most great food adventures start, my caravan and I stopped in athlone, Ireland for a quick bite to eat on our way back to Dublin. Per the recommendation of a local we walked up a small street to find this little gem tucked away. VENUE: the place is a little small with about 4 table tops and a couple of counters and bars tools. With plenty of natural light the place boasts of freshness, color, and a small buzz of sweet Irish girls fervently cutting and peeling fresh veggies and meats into wonderful meals. It's super casual and quaint - there was no wait despite limited seating. It was great. FOOD/DRINK: I ordered the soup/pitta/coffee/tea meal combo for 10euros. the soup is the soup of the day (potato leek for today) and you get a choice of their pittas and an option of coffee or tea. The potato leek soup was much better than you'd expect by the name. It was a nice potato purée with just a hint leek. It comes piping hot so give it a few before slurping. I chose the chicken pitta and it was amazing! Chicken was cooked well and the coleslaw and hummus were fresh! I ordered extra pesto (because I am a basil fiend) and it was perfect kick of flavor for the whole pitta. It was quite large - packed full of stuffing. My friend got the seafood chowder and it was also great! Creamy but not too thick with chunks of seafood! SERVICE: our server was a delight. She was warm and friendly and attentive. Even when we had some concerns about our food she was apologetic and addressed the issue immediately. All in all I would absolutely recommend this place even if you're just passing through for a bite to eat or a sip to drink. read more

First time at this great little cafe in Athlone and we will definitely be back. The place was buzzing with people popping in for take away coffees and treats and others sitting in for lunch. We were a family of four, with a teenager who is allergic to dairy and eggs. It was wonderful to find a place with so many vegan options for her to enjoy. Everything from the cappuccino, to the cookies, to the falafels and salad were delicious. Staff were friendly and efficient. We highly recommend it and look forward to visiting again when we are next in Athlone. read more

Super cute, friendly cafe with a great menu and free wifi. I was really impressed by the quality here. It was recommended to us by a local as the best cafe in the area, and they were completely right! I got the seafood chowder, and it had so many good chunks of salmon in it. Their bread is freshly baked, and they make the sandwiches and salads right in front of you! The portions are soo filling! Stop by this kitchen if you're ever in Athlone! read more

Delicious local food and friendly staff! I had the spiced vegetable soup and pork shoulder pita. Amazing ! It's worth eating here rather than something close to the river that's probably going to be a tourist trap. My meal was 12 Euros for the pita and soup deal ! This is the place to try if you want real quality ingredients and food! read more
