Our waitress was joy personified - the welcome was warm and she fussed over us to get us seated then brought menus. The cafe has a take away go left and a separate sit - in area go right where we nestled into. The cafe was busy - both takeaway and sit in - just into the early afternoon. It was a flat white, a cappuccino and a generous chunk of home - made, zingy lemon meringue pie between us. The coffees and the light airy pie were delicious. The rest - rooms were well appointed too. Once the food was delivered to the table I asked for the bill so that we could just leave once we were done. My wish was granted with a smile. €14.35 or £12.37.

If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

I have been into "The Eating House" so many times now, and I absolutely love it!…read more I have tried about a third of the menu, and so far everything has been super tasty. The food is amazing, the organic coffee is wonderful, the staff are awalys welcoming, there are loads of gluten free and sugar free options, the special's are interesting, and the soup, the Mexican Queen burger and the carrotcake are simply the best versions I have ever tasted. I have been into the cafe by myself, with my partner, have recommended it to friends and family members, and soon will be bringing family in for lunch! Food = FANTASTIC! Staff = wonderful, happy to help, and friendly Athmosphere = warm and welcoming Location = central, just off the main street Parking = does not have it's own designated parking but there is street parking nearby, (Blessington is not great for parking overall) Bathroom = clean and quirkey (in terms of decor) Price = very affordable, good value for the amount and quality of the food Environmental impact (new addition to my reviews going forward) = LOW! "The Eating House" is a vegan cafe so it uses no animal products, the napkins are made from recycled materials, the takeaway boxes are made from carboard, part of the interior decoration is recycled wood, the staff are local, and the produce used to make the wonderful food is sourced locally! Extras = the cafe is in an historic building (lovely to see it being used rather than fading into ruin), there is a takeaway menu, and the cafe is work friendly i.e. there are sockets for charging devices if working from the cafe.

I used to be a frequent breakfast visitor to the Straffan tea rooms and four of us decided to…read morereturn today after a few months going to other venues. Today was not the same positive experience we used to enjoy. 1. I ordered the full Irish and asked for side of sweet potato (as shown on the vegetarian menu) instead of black pudding. The server said I can't have that. I didn't think I heard her correctly and asked if they have any potato. "Yes but you can only have it with the vegetarian breakfast as we have a limited supply." Never knew Ireland was short on spuds! 2. My friend has a sensitivity to egg yolks and asked for eggs with just whites. It couldn't happen as the chef can not separate (I'm not a chef but I can do this!) She then asked for the fried egg to be so well done that she could cut the yolk out. The eggs came nearly as runny as a poached egg. 3. We were offered a choice of white or brown toast with our breakfast. Later the server said that the white bread had not been cooked yet. We had to have homemade brown bread which is not the same with a full Irish breakfast. 4. We asked for jam for the brown bread. The server brought a mini side of jam that was barely enough for one piece of brown bread not the 8 slices at our table For the €13 breakfast (with coffees), we would expect a better experience like we get at Avoca's Egg Cafe
