Nice little coffee shop. There are a selection of pastries/cakes at the counter but not many food options, there are two sandwiches available and neither are vegetarian, one is 3 meat focaccia and the other chicken curry roll. They also have an Açaí bowl which is what I had and it was nice. My husband had the chicken curry roll and a latte and both were nice. Staff were friendly.

Probably best and most consistently good coffee in Gorey. Staff are always the right level of talkative and very friendly. The town is lucky to have a place like this. Can’t speak to the food here but highly recommend the place for a coffee.

I stopped by for my evening cuppa and ordered a flat white. The coffee was robust, with the perfect milk-to-coffee ratio. I loved the customized cups, which added a personal touch to the experience. The ambiance is minimalistic and cozy, making it a great spot to relax. The staff were absolutely delightful, enhancing the overall experience. They also offered a variety of cakes and pastries, all of which looked incredibly delectable. This place is definitely a must-try.

The staff were incredible. We went in with 8 adults and 4 kids. They made a delicious extra extra hot hot chocolate, and the kids enjoyed the huge scones.
