First things to say about purple sage:…read more Tea Cozy. This place serves great tea and seems to have great food options, but I found most interesting/entertaining was their knitted tea cozies. It's a small location and easily missed, but absolutely worth an escape from rain/restoration via a latte. Notably, the selection here is pretty good - plenty of vegetarian options and freshly baked pastries as well.

You're greeted at the door and walk by the display of delicious looking home made cakes and treats. The apple tart caught my eye so obviously I ordered it. Warm, crumbly, packed with sweet tarte apples and a cute little side of cream. Got a nice big mug of coffee which wasn't too bad. The staff are really friendly and the place was buzzing. Think I'll have to hop off the bus in Goery more often.

Pure awesomeness! I ordered a birthday cake for my girlfriend. I asked for a pizza shaped cake as…read moreshe likes pizza a lot. Delivered on time on Saturday, the result was simply fantastic! We loved the taste and the choice of ingredients that make the cake tasty but, at the same time, surprisingly light. Everybody at the party got double the portion. Simply a success! Definitely recommended for customized cakes for any occasions.

Discount tarts! (4/5 green stars) I had a good experience at…read moreHansel and Gretel last week. The most exciting thing, I have to admit, were the discounted mini tarts at the end of the day - only €1.75 each! These would cost $6 or $7 each where I live in San Francisco, plus you can feel relatively guilt-free about buying a few as you're helping to avoid food waste! I bought three and especially liked the raspberry tart and the pear-raspberry. Had an oat milk flat white too (made with Ariosa coffee beans) and thought it was very good. The server was very friendly and helpful too. I'm also giving Hansel and Gretel Bakery & Patisserie 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: Good quality baked items made from fresh ingredients; Coffee beans are from local micro roaster, Ariosa, which has some direct trade and organic offerings; pantry items for sale that support progressive local food companies; Hansel and Gretel has run bake sales to support charitable causes; discounted items at the end of the day helps avoid food waste. Items for improvement: Would be nice to see some vegan items - pastry and cakes made with vegan butter such as Naturl'i (available at Dunnes Stores) is just as good as pastry made from butter. It would also be good to see some tables in or outside the café that would then allow them to use ceramic cups instead of disposable cups. More vegetarian and vegan savory items would be good too (it was close to the end of the say so perhaps hard to judge). Please join the Green Stars Project movement by including an ethical rating with your own reviews!

Bradburys have been in Athy since 1938 so if you add up those years and all those cakes and breads…read morethey've made over the years ... It's no doubt they call themselves specialists in their field. Their cakes and buns are lovely and fresh. I'm a fan of coffee slices and would prefer their topping to be more like the sticky caramel you get in most bakeries - theirs is a hard icing. Their salads are fresh and they offer a nice selection. For hot food, you can try their all day breakfast - in my opinion it could be of better quality in some parts like the sausages but that's just personal preference. Their vol au vents are tasty and the potato gratin, delicious. The restaurant itself is bright, airy and clean - if the weather permits you can sit in the small terraced garden. The prices are average and there are specials available. The staff are very friendly. Bradburys haven't gone down the gourmet breakfast, sandwich or meal route like so many places have. They have enough of a selection in the salad to build your own gourmet sandwich. Would it make it better if they did advertise an all gourmet menu it's hard to say. As it's a favourite spot for my mum for a bite to eat and a chat, I'll be returning again and again.
