Best coffee in Nenagh and really top notch porridge. A great place for a quick step in if you're in town and looking for a coffee.

Cinnamon Alley - World's best BBQ beef sandwich

Cinnamon Alley

(3 reviews)

Friendly service, good coffee, seating on two indoor levels, plus outside, nice location a block…read morefrom Nenagh Castle, and outstanding food! Probably the best BBQ beef sandwich I've had anywhere in the world. Crisped cheese and fresh coleslaw on top, tangy BBQ sauce, tender meat -- I hope to finagle a return visit tomorrow! PS -- bathrooms are good too.

Firstly, I would like to state that I was a regular customer but this particular expereicxe, while…read morenot the 1st, was most appalling, completely unprofessional, unhygienic and discracefull! I, colleagues and family have frequented the cafe often but will never go again. I was simply shocked by how Cinnamon Alley is run/managed of late as witnessed in the recent free for all described below. The following issues occurred simultaneously and combine to warrant this review: 1. Toilets were dirty and not maintained. Major "no-no" anywhere and possibly a forgivable offense - however, the place was not busy and there were 5-6 staff working and many were idle. 2. While in the cafe (30 minutes in total) one customer was over charged and another not charged enough. Simple error, long day, people make mistakes. 3. Another customer was treated impatiently and with an attitude/air from the staff of "I don't want to be here - order already" (someone had a bad day - NEVER let that show to a customer) 4. The tables were not cleaned between customers who had to pile dirty dishes on to other tables.(unacceptable) Up to that point I was not in a mindset to critique. I know the food industry first hand - staff have bad days, accidents happen, tables get overlooked... but there was more: 5. The most dramatic event came when a group of 6-8 secondary school girls - in blue school unifor -and school bags bursted noisily into the cafe in pack formation and stormed into the food prep area, behind the counter and into the kitchen, talking, touching food perp areas, grabbing at items being the counter all in front of customers as staff passed a blind eye. I looked, and waited and looked for a manager/shift leader, - anyone with common sense to step forward and remove the girls from behind the counter but nothing. The pack of girls treated the business premises as their own kitchen with no adults around, let alone public customers. They were all so "at home" that it was extremely rude and offensive. 6. I was further shocked to see one of the young schools girl's in school uniform and backpack swan into the cafe, behind the counter, pick up some food (no hand washing, no gloves) proceed into the kitchen, back out and in front of two customers attempt to open the till to get cash! How inappropriate for customers to witness. (I appeared that the girl was related to the owner but I can not confirm) The girls actions were still unforgivable by management. Overall, nobody was running the ship, it was adrift and ragged. The food quality has slipped and the service, which was never great - was abyssal and carried out by drones rather than worked who had any respect for the job, the management or themselves. I am so saddened as I like the idea of the local business very much and would do anything to support local. However, I felt compiled to voice this opinion in the hope that management wake up and take note of how loose the place has become. There were too many staff present for such negligence.
