The place rebranded a couple of years ago, and looks very cool and contemporary - wouldn't look out of place in Dublin city, but retains the charm of Sligo - facilitated by the Sisters O'Hara, the three sisters who are the creative energy behind the place. As well as a deli selling a wide range of speciality foods, teas, a 'free from' section, fresh cheeses, teas/coffees, sweet treats and lunches/dinners to go - there's also a dedicated skincare section, with some high end and reasonably priced beauty products. The window display changes with the seasons, as well as the stock. They're always ahead of the crowd, and this is a great spot to pick up a special gift. They're very active on social media and their instagram @kateskitchensligo is a feast for the eyes if you can't get instore. There's usually a veggie option at lunch, and try one of my personal faves - the coconut macaroons!

P.S Saw rice been microwaved while I was waiting for my friend who had paid a visit to the loo, and she added some chips to the same dish and reheated the curry twice and added it to the the now cold rice, lvly someone had a nice afternoon sitting on the loo!!!!!!!!!

This is…read morethe prosperous thriving side of village Ireland, with lots of eateries from Italian to Thai, street food to sandwich bars, but drive 50 miles to Boyle to see a crumbling, down - at - heel place at the other end of the spectrum. President Higgins may take the government helicopter to Belfast, maybe even fly to Castlebar but I doubt if Boyle is on his or his helicopter's radar. Anyway Castlebar is the home area of Enda Kenny, now invisible but former Irish Taoiseach (2011 to 2017). It's typical of politicians to bring wealth to their constituencies and of course themselves and here is a fine example of political patronage and gombeenism. As I strolled I turned down a side street and I came across this place. Now as one who can resist anything but temptation I was instantly drawn by the sights & smells of expensive chocolate followed by the waft of equally expensive coffee. So text to my wife and in I go. Two cappuccino, two desserts (strawberry tart & chocolate mousse - both delicious) and €17 paid. Sorted. So to sum. It's quality. The coffee and cakes are super and the prices reflect the image. There's free WiFi too. A nice touch is the mini milk chocolate bar on the side of the coffees. Service was friendly and our welcome and departure were friendly. We'd return in a heartbeat after all its chocolate.

I love their food, cakes, deserts, coffee. However, the mother doesn't like the food as they don't have turkey/ham and spuds. So if you looking for a traditional Donegal dinner go to Dom's or the Central. If you want some good fresh, made on the premises, not-traditional grub, then head here. I should warn you that the cafe is small, and at lunchtime does get busy and you may not get a seat. If you visiting town, stop here before noontime and after 1pm as the lunch-rush will have subsided. Aroma recently opened a 2nd location closer to the center of town. It's across the street from Magee's factory on New Row. I haven't tried it, so I'll let someone else review it. It is a bigger location.
