He was also giving out free ice cream samples which is helpful for super fussy kids ! The crepes are amazing - great place downstairs in the Eyre Square centre.

Crepes seem to be one of their specialties, so I had the Mediterranean crepe (€7.50) which was filled with a nice selection of Med veggies - peppers, aubergine, courgette, olives, and onion, combined with feta cheese. The veggies were well cooked and very flavorful and I'd definitely have it again. My brothers had a bowl of creamy soup (can't remember what type - perhaps butternut squash?) and a chili quesadilla, both reportedly very good. The coffee (they use Puro beans) was also very good - they make a nice flat white. I'm giving them 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact. I didn't get around to asking for details on their ingredients and sourcing, and unfortunately there's not a lot of information available online. The only thing I know is that they do have a lot of vegetarian options on the menu and their veggies were very fresh and delicious. Perhaps the fact that they choose to serve Puro coffee says a lot about their ethos. Puro (which was nominated for a Guardian sustainability award) supplies shade grown, Fair Trade certified coffee (some organic) and are on a mission to preserve rainforests. Working with the World Land Trust, they have used proceeds from coffee sales (at least 2%) to purchase and conserve more than 16,000 acres of tropical rainforest, including orangutan habitat in Borneo. They also have social initiatives, such as their Trees4Schools project in South Africa and providing supplies and coffee plants to Fair Trade farmers in DR Congo. So, if you want a well-made cup of coffee where proceeds go to a good cause, An Pota Caife is a great option. The one story I found online about the café was about a man who had left an envelope of money behind one day, which turned out to be his entire disability allowance. The staff kept it in their safe for three months until they happened to spot him back in the café again, and presented him with his cash. So they appear to be good folk :-) Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me! (greenstarsproject)

It's lovely to get a seat outside and watch the world go by. The juices are delicious in particular. The staff are always incredibly pleasant and helpful, and you can tell they work hard, long shifts. I will return again and again!

You can either order at the counter for coffee or treats to-go or sit at a table for a meal there. Service: The servers were really nice and were very prompt. We were in and out of here the two times we went very quickly. Food: The food was inexpensive and fresh. The coffee to-go was convenient. The American pancakes were a nice morning breakfast for my husband that wasn't super filling and the wrap I had was fresh and the side salad had a good dressing on it. Nothing super special but it was convenient, clean and friendly.

And when I say small I mean something like 8'x10'. Julie works behind the counter which is full of goodies scones and cupcakes that she's just baked today. Everything here is truly delicious. Julie is an extraordinary host welcoming you into what feels to be her kitchen. The town regulars stop in for a cup of coffee or just conversation. Even the priest was there to eat his breakfast. We stayed more than an hour speaking with the people coming and going into this very unique place. Needless to say the ambience feels like you're in her home. The coffee is just great. I ordered a cappuccino that was dusted with chocolate on top. Smooth and delicious. My wife enjoyed her latte very much. We ordered 2 savory crepes, the Vegetarian and the Smoky Yoke. My wife said that this was the best crepe she had ever enjoyed. What's amazing is the the crepe is thicker than what you usually receive and so it holds the contents without falling apart. And it has a great flavor. The crepes were absolutely great! Her scones are totally superb. My wife had a fruit scone and I had one with a name I don't remember. It was interestingly spiced, moist, with an incredible consistency. Athenry is about 20 minutes east of Galway. The small town is worth a visit. It's worth coming here just to eat at The Nook.

However, we came here to grab a quick lunch to eat before our walking tour. The idea was to eat these crepes while on the tour to save time. (Sit down meals are a 2-3 hour affair in Ireland). Unfortunately, there were only 2 women working with only 2 crepe stations and even though there was nobody on line, it took them a very long time to make our crepes (waited about half hour). We ended up missing our tour. Hubby liked the the beef crepe with the included veggies and spicy sauce. I tried a chicken crepe but there were lots of gristle or something else hard in the chicken. The combo meals with bubble tea are a good deal at around 7.50 euros with bubble tea (or 6.50 without the tea). Bottom line, avoid the chicken and expect a long time to get your order.
