Iced Coffee Takeaway review. A highly rated restaurant on Yelp, however, the seating was full and…read morewe decided to go elsewhere. Later, I chose to return for an iced coffee takeaway. "Iced Coffee" means either an iced Americano or an Iced Latte. I chose the former. Before anyone took my order, I waited approximately five or six minutes. Since I was in no rush, I didn't mind. What impressed me was the number of servers who asked me if I was alright. The entry area bustled with the back and forth of servers providing water to the patrons. The dessert case looked tantalizing! I also noticed that all coffee drinks contain two shots! I was guaranteed a nice Americano. My time to order arrived, and not long after, I walked out with my very satisfying iced drink. Another note: The quaint restaurant was beautifully decorated with lights in arches which affords a charming atmosphere.

I would have hated to have missed a day eating at this wonderful little cafe! I rarely get to visit these days and I always forget how good an Irish breakfast is. The sausage and the beans and the puddings...just unbelievable! Also, by the second day the waitress recognized us and asked if I wanted the same thing that I had raved over the day before! One of the best experiences I've had in a long long time!

This is, by far, one of the best places to eat in town. Also recognised as one of the top spots in…read morethe country, presumably for their use of locally sourced meat and ingredients. They believe in supporting the community that supports them, which is great. On our first day in Ballina, we asked reception where a good place for lunch or dinner would be and this place, along with their fine dining upstairs, Heifer and Hen, got glowing reviews. We checked it out and saw a list of pastas and sandwiches, so kept going in search of 'traditional Irish fare'. Upon closer inspection, the full sit down menu offered things like Cumberland sausages, bangers and mash and more. So breakfast it was. You can't go wrong with freshly baked goods, a local butcher for tasty sausages and bacon and locally sourced ingredients. The toast was almost like a cake, very tasty, a little sweet and quite dense. Service was fast, friendly and accommodating and the coffee was good too. Only complaint is that the glasses and cutlery could be a little cleaner. All in all, if you're in Ballina, avoid disappointment and come here first. We're heading back for lunch!

It's a really cute and cosy cafe serving delicious salads, sandwiches, toasties and soup. I went for the toasted ham and cheese, with a sneaky pineapple jam with a small bowl of the soup if the day (celeriac and coconut). The soup was unreal, who knew celeriac would make such a tasty soup. The toasty was my dream toasty, proper roast ham slices, melt cheese and the pineapple jam. Dipped in the soup for some added tastiness. Also, I fancied some chips. Proper chips. Got some chips. Polished off said chips. After the food, we popped into the little shop next door. Wanted to buy all the things. Gorgeous!
