The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, with plenty of natural light, comfortable seating, and a relaxed playlist that isn't too loud. The coffee is consistently excellent, the pastries are fresh, and the staff are always incredibly nice. It has a great and a lovely vibe overall. Easily one of the best coffee shops in the area—I will definitely be a regular!
Thank You Miroslav 🙏 …
We stopped here on our way from Dublin to Galway and we were delighted we found this cute little spot. Great coffee, great snacks and amazing vibe. Also tried the Mumbai chai and while it wasn’t really the Indian chai, different flavour which I liked. Also liked thw vegan sausage, made with soya..great protein option ;)
Thank You Ruchika 🙏 …
Absolutely love it there, the ladies and gent are absolutely amazing and so engaging and proactive, I really like it when they give suggestions to try out and it makes me comeback everytime and they play such great music and it blends in so well with the artistry on the wall. Truly has become one of my favourite places, I’ve brought friends to try out this place and the food and its exemplary quality.
Thank You Sethu 🙏 …
