The decor is sweet and elegant and the company here is very friendly. Sara Jane works very hard keeping up her little cafe and she will always make sure her guests are happy and attended to. The bathroom upstairs is huge, very clean, and in the cafe area there is a small fireplace which only adds to its charm. Overall this was one of the best cafe experiences I have ever had, if I could I'd come back every day. It feels like home here. The food is delicious, the company is wonderful, and the atmosphere is great; best cafe in Ireland, hands down!
