    What a lovely spot for breakfast, lunch or to warm up on a rainy day. The staff is lovely and the food is luscious. We ate there twice on our trip and both times all eight of us loved it.

    Had a really tasty lunch here - food was fresh and homemade. Staff are really friendly, coffee is great and the atmosphere was brilliant. There is a nice shop there also.

    My yummy latte.

    Very cute place! Love the view and the staff is super friendly. The latte is super yum!

    Oodles of noodles (chicken noodle soup with an Asian flair)

    See all

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!

The deli has a whole host of delights not all Irish sourced but of very good pedigree none the less. I bought a fantastic carmelised chutney that I would like some more of. There are an abundance of fresh produce available here . The cosmetics and toiletries are in a separate little store within the main store and you can treat yourself to a selection of delights here also. The staff are charming.

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.
