Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Why don't more people from Celbridge come here?! I don't get it! Maybe…read morebecause you can't access it from the main street in your car any more?! 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.

They don't take breakfast reservations but on an off season Monday morning, there were plenty of tables available. My husband enjoyed his toasted breakfast sandwich on sourdough which was a huge portion. My Irish breakfast was delicious and they accommodated my request to swap out the black and white pudding for an extra rasher. My daughter was expecting a much fluffier version of the Belgian waffles - we noted that the menu describes the meal as "Waffles with crispy streaky bacon" and she only had a single waffle with not so crispy bacon. But we did enjoy everything else and will likely return.

Horrendous food & terribly overpriced. High chair that we…read moreused absolutely filthy. I had the vegetarian breakfast and it was terrible, all of it was freezing. The 'scrambled eggs' had noticably just been cooked in a microwave and sitting out. The chips also frozen in parts, totally inedible. Eggs Benedict the sauce was sour and tangy. Obviously sitting out a while and nothing fresh about the taste of it.​ Have not had breakfast / brunch this bad in a long long time. €3.85 for a coke zero should be a crime.

There was a smoked salmon quiche and another type of quiche also, a pasta option and sandwich options too. I went for the plain-sounding panini, not sure of what to choose. The friendly waitress offered me relish or pesto on the side, I went for relish. A taste explosion. The bread was fresh and wholesome, the salad dressing zingy and fresh, the relish spicy and warming, the combination of the food together, a tastebud treat. I didn't sample any of the amazing-smelling croissants, pain au chocolat and brownies, as it is lent (self-torture, wha?!!) so I will be going back in 45 days to sample the tasties!

It's a regular coffee shop, not a pop up stand-and it has a few tables to sit and enjoy your drink, although I saw most people take theirs to go. There's a modest case of pastries and other delights in addition to the drinks. Coffee was strong and full bodied-just what we needed after a long red eye flight.

It's very easy to find, and on a sunny weekend you can't miss it, with its long queue out the door; don't let this put you off, it's certainly worth the wait. You can ask for a simple ice cream cone or cup, but if you want to experience a cold sugar overload like you never had before, go for one of their specials, such as the Oreo mess, Muffin mess or the Banoffee Pie. Yes, there will actually be whole banana and bits of biscuit under your ice cream, or even a whole muffin covered with marshmallows. This is not for the faint of heart. Or teeth. Take one of these bad boys with you and go for a long long stroll along the harbour and the beach, while you watch the many bird species that inhabit the Skerries.
