This place has been going for donkey's years and the food still remains as homely as ever. The desserts are pure decadence in an Irish country kitchen type of way. We shared the berry crumble and carrot cake - so yummy. Sadly it's located in a very depressing little mall circa the early 80's so bring a book or a good looking partner to prevent you from looking out at the bleakness that greets you on the other side of the window.

The coffee servings at Costa Coffee are enormous. The smallest size (primo) is actually rather…read morelarge, the medium is more of a soup bowl than a mug, while the large is like drinking a bucket of caffeine. Costa Coffee is a busy, loud cafe plonked in the middle of the White Water Shopping Centre. As I prefer to give my custom to smaller local cafes, I only come here when I can't make it outside and I need to recharge the energy levels between bursts of extreme shopping. On these occasions, I peruse the paper, take out the knitting or simply stick in the iPod and watch the clientele gesture dramatically as they silently converse. I recently treated myself to a lemon cupcake here, which was divine and so pretty I had to take a picture of it. My only criticism is that the baristas always ask, "Medium or large?" and I have to quickly remember how to say "small" in Costa-speak. I know their game. They want you to have to pay more for the larger cups and you leave a jittery mess ready to shop away all that extra caffeine-induced energy. In fact, Costa Coffee is probably in cahoots with H&M and HMV and all the other acronymed shopping chains that surround it. Or maybe I'm just paranoid after the vessel of caffeine I've ingested...

There rest act like its a chore for them to complete a coffee for you. The coffee is generally what you would expect from Starbucks, burnt and barely resembling the taste of coffee at all. However, each to their own. Personally didn't like this establishment but test it yourself!

I ordered the vegetarian lasagna but I was apologetically informed that only a small portion remained. I smiled, "That's grand 'coz I was gonna have a scone too." She gave me the scone on the house. I'd been told the scones were to die for. They're not worth becoming a modern-day martyr for but I did start chewing really slowly just so I could hold the taste in my mouth for longer. I refuse to use the term "amazeballs" but I have to admit that it entered my head in this moment. Also, I'm pretty sure I witnessed a young couple dramatically break up outside the window as I savoured a scone. Sometimes, it pays to be single.

Up until then, I'd avoided this establishment as I'd found it particularly expensive. I was sure there must be a catch. Usually, just a coffee costs more than that. Maybe, only one or two disgusting cakes that were about to go off were included in the offer. Since that fateful day, I've dragged (okay at that price, they came pretty willingly) three friends here, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there was no catch. One can enjoy tea or any type of coffee with any choice of cake (apart from the Gingerbread Man. No point trying to save him missus, a fox gets him in the end). Although the waitress was friendly, she was impatient for us to order quickly. With such a selection, I'd rather be left alone for a few minutes to make my mind up. Today, I was more in the mood for something savoury so I had the Shepherd's Pie with a selection of salads, which was very tasty. At €7.99, I still find the savoury food to be over priced. I ordered a coffee with my lunch. The helpful waitress pointed out that I may as well get a dessert. She then stared at me until I made a decision. I panicked and asked for a mince pie (even though I know I don't like them). Seen as we had a lot to catch up on, my friend bought us a couple more Americanos. She arrived back to the table, happy with her doggie bag of two mince pies. As long as this offer lasts, I'll be bringing everyone and anyone here. Nice on the wallet but not on the dress size, I'm sure...

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

I popped in for breakfast with friends just before Christmas. Had a lovely poached egg with sausages (yummo - they source them from nearby Celbridge).

Staff was friendly and efficient, the prices were great, but mostly I'd recommend the Victorian Tea Rooms for the cosy atmosphere. Plus, the shopping at the Straffan Courtyard is not to be missed!
