Freshly baked bread and scones that fill your belly like only grandmas are supposed to. Atmosphere is great and the staff friendly and quick. Don’t tell them, but I feel they can easily double the prices of their baked products, considering the quality, quantity and extensive supplements.

Arrived here by chance travelling through Headford looking for somewhere to have lunch. We were delighted with the choices on the menu and both opted for the fish pie/chips/veg. The food was top class and really delicious. The apple pie that followed was the nicest we have had in a long time. Coffee was also very good. The staff were friendly with lots of banter and the atmosphere was really friendly with locals chatting to each other. I can highly recommend eating here. Try the fish pie and you won't be disappointed.

Food was good but the toilets were outrageous. Poop everywhere, no soap and no toilet paper.
