I got a really delicious sandwich (The Italian). The bread was nice and cane with some crisps and some relish. I also got a matcha that was really good too. Lady behind the counter was very friendly and helped me choose. Looking forward to going with my girlfriend and trying some other stuff. Thanks.

Fabulous coffee, and this I say as a fussy coffee drinker. I was thrilled to find somewhere nearby when visiting Birr Castle. Serve PS Roasters coffee which is one of the best. Delicious cappuccino. I didn't try the food but it looked lovely - pastries, protein balls, etc. Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend.
