This place has been going for donkey's years and the food still remains as homely as ever. The desserts are pure decadence in an Irish country kitchen type of way. We shared the berry crumble and carrot cake - so yummy. Sadly it's located in a very depressing little mall circa the early 80's so bring a book or a good looking partner to prevent you from looking out at the bleakness that greets you on the other side of the window.

Served by a very abrupt, short and slightly rude young girl. It's ok for a quick pit stop, but that's as far as the excitement goes for this chain of coffee houses.

The coffee servings at Costa Coffee are enormous. The smallest size (primo) is actually rather…read morelarge, the medium is more of a soup bowl than a mug, while the large is like drinking a bucket of caffeine. Costa Coffee is a busy, loud cafe plonked in the middle of the White Water Shopping Centre. As I prefer to give my custom to smaller local cafes, I only come here when I can't make it outside and I need to recharge the energy levels between bursts of extreme shopping. On these occasions, I peruse the paper, take out the knitting or simply stick in the iPod and watch the clientele gesture dramatically as they silently converse. I recently treated myself to a lemon cupcake here, which was divine and so pretty I had to take a picture of it. My only criticism is that the baristas always ask, "Medium or large?" and I have to quickly remember how to say "small" in Costa-speak. I know their game. They want you to have to pay more for the larger cups and you leave a jittery mess ready to shop away all that extra caffeine-induced energy. In fact, Costa Coffee is probably in cahoots with H&M and HMV and all the other acronymed shopping chains that surround it. Or maybe I'm just paranoid after the vessel of caffeine I've ingested...

Needed something more substantial than the usual lunchtime sandwich so popped in here having passed…read moreit a few days earlier and perused the menu outside. I fancied a pizza. Pity I didn't read the sign or I would have realised it is a 'regular' restaurant during the day and metamorphoses into an Italian eatery - apparently under different management - after 5. Who knew? Peculiar business model. Anyway, quelling my pizza hunger - mostly because it was raining and I was here anyway - I ordered the laughingly described 'Gourmet Burger'. I think what emerged from the kitchen was one of the worst burgers I've ever been subjected to. The meat patty was clearly of the bought-in frozen variety. It was tough and greasy and the ciabatta was either stale or also returned from a frozen state. The burger was topped with what I thought was red cabbage but turned out to be shredded red onion. I think. It looked and tasted vile. The fries were pretty good though. With a bottle of sparkling water the cost was €11.75. I've had much better, and cheaper, from a burger van.

So I…read moredecided for three stars as you need to like eating or drinking something with the addition of leather smell in your nose. But it's clean and separated enough otherwise. We went there just an hour before closing time so I think they obviously didn't have every dish at their hands anymore. As I only wanted to have a cold drink I didn't ask for food but others in the group seemed to stuggle to find something. I didn't listen so I'm not sure why exactly though. Two of them settled on the warm chicken sandwich which looked amazing and from what I heard was very good. The third person went for the special which was lamb curry but I sat too far away to ask how it was. I'd say it's a lovely cafe almost in the middle of nowhere and having it in combination with the shop has, as I said, it's disadvantages, but also is very handy.
