Small, really popular cafe located on the main square in Portlaoise! They do a mix of salads,…read moresandwiches and hot food, with a nice selection of scones and other sweet treats on the side. The staff are really friendly and helpful (and switch between here and their other place in The Dunamaise Theatre, both have the same menu). I only gave this place three stars for a couple of reasons: 1. It's small so you often can't get a table when you want one. It's also not that nice to sit in. 2. It comparison to some other cafes I've reviewed this is nothing special, it's a bog standard cafe that does good sambos. In saying that, if you are looking for a tasty sandwich to take away, you'll get one here. I usually get their club sandwich as it's really nice but beware, you may not be able to move for a while afterwards!

They're menu is really good with healthy options too like the superfood salad which tasted great. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very chic. The downside was that it's quite expensive and out of the way, 15 min walk from the castle, but other than that they have great healthy lunch options and wonderful teas.

We ordered the fish and chips and it was ok. More flavor was needed. There were perhaps frequent customers there and the waitstaff was mostly talking to them and it was really noticeable. Our glasses were empty for most of the meal and it took a while for anyone to notice we needed our bill. We love this city and there are so many great eating places. Maybe it was an off day.

We were passing through the town of Castlecomer and in need of a coffee and sandwich. As we passed…read morethe town centre with its ample off road car park we spotted the attractive frontage of the Lime Tree. The interior is bright and clean with an eclectic mix of bric-a-brac and football jerseys in glass cases. The wooden tables are covered in tablecloths and napkins are on the preset tables. The place looks great but the main event is the food. The waitress brought the menu and we both had the chicken salad sandwich which was served with chips. A pot of tea and a massive bowl of coffee were also served and the bill came to less than €20. If we are ever passing through Castlecomer again ( I suppose it is possible) I would make a point of going into the Lime Tree again.

I'm always pleasant and say thank you. Wouldn't hurt if it was returned. Secondly, I believe the Manager is also kinda rude the way she grabs dishes when finish your food. Always bangs when cleaning. Thirdly: The tall guy is Nices guy that works there, always helpful and plesant. He should be manager. He could teach his staff on manners. He treats me and my wife with respect. Food is good but can do with improvements, 3 stars for food, I'd give 5 stars for that one employees
