Fresh and healthy superfood salads, juices, dairy free sweet treats, daily hot specials, 3fe coffee and teas - all offered with dairy free milk options. I had the superfood salad of massaged kale, chickpeas, and spiced cous cous (with cranberries, pomegranate and pesto) for lunch. For €7.50 it filled me up for the day and is far more exciting then the dull packaged leaves and uninspiring dash of olive oil salads you get in other establishments. These salads ARE the dish, not just a bit of green on the side - they demand your attention and don't disappoint on taste! Less than a 5 minute stroll from O'Connell St, in the summer it'd be lovely to get a salad to go at lunch time and eat it along the riverside. I imagine the menu will expand as the business does, as chef-cum-proprietor Carolanne is Ballymaloe trained and well travelled! They maintain an active social media presence @sweetbeatsligo and already have a loyal following of customers - including me! Watch this space, as it expands into something brilliant, its thrilling to see young businesses like this bringing the heart back into Sligo town.

I was greeted immediately by the locals, offered "the best coffee in Ireland" (too bad I don't drink coffee), and spent the rest of the night hanging out with my new friends. This place combines coffee shop with wine bar with groovy music...what's not to love. When Tom (the owner) is there, free wifi is available (no wifi when he is gone). The vibe is total hep cat meets artsy caffeinated wino. I haven't felt as comfortable in a bar as I did there in a long time. I wish this place was on the corner of my street, because I'd be there every day.

It self-promotes itself as Ireland's salmon capital with a sign at the edge of town proclaiming so. Ballina means 'mouth of the ford' and it nestles in the Ox and Nephin Beg mountains. So we pick up some wild salmon at 80 euro a kilo. The town has had inhabitants for near 700 years. We've become used to calling into Dave's cafe for one of the best coffees anywhere around. So up the alleyway more than ready for great coffee and horror of horrors it was closed: it was 4:30pm maybe he closes mid afternoon, who knows but having built up to great coffee it was time to explore. I knew there was a Costa in town but I didn't really want to go there and found this place just across the road on a Main Street. The coffees were superb - a flat white and cappuccino - and both under €3. Serving staff were a friendly bunch and it was a cosy place away from the cold rain outside. Dave might have lost four coffee sales a year. Hope he can cope.

The menu was full of decisions. Breakfast foods, coffees, a Breakfast lovers DREAM! I ordered the Full Irish breakfast and what i received exceeded my expectations. I also ordered just a plain coffee. Before the food came, my cup was empty. I wasn't sure if the waitresses went around filling empty cups so I waited a while, then decided to go to the counter to get a refill. A little bothersome. They must have been busy and a little under staffed but I honestly didn't mind. When the food came out, everything was perfect. Egg, sausage, bacon, black pudding topped with a tomato, a basket full of toast, and a bowl full of chips. The only thing they did not have that I wanted was jam. The service, other than the empty cup of coffee, was excellent. I want to go there every morning! Oh and the price was very good. Two people, two Irish breakfasts and two coffees came out to be 15.95. Very sensible. Love Love Love. Definitely try it!
