"i bought a pistacchio cake, do no buy it!!! there was literally nothing that would taste like pistacchio in the cake. it was literally just a cake that did not have any layers of flavour or filling in the middle. i do not recommend, it’s waste of your money. do no make the same mistake i made. never again. the only thing that it was made of was the cake dough and probably one small pistacchio that was crushed and sprinkled on the top to mislead you into believing that it will actually taste like pistacchio. it won’t."

"The best customer service. The staff are lovely and polite to everyone, whether you are a tourist like me or a morning regular.
I come here whenever I’m in Ireland and they never have an off day regardless the weather or how busy .
Hospitality is a hard gig at the best of time so consistency is difficult when it comes to staff keeping up .
Good coffee and good music"
