VERY UNFRIENDLY SERVICE BUT GOOD FOOD
Our food was great, they only had 3 waffles between 2 of us (usually 4) but it was still plenty and a great portion , as for the service, the African lady, not sure of her name, served us and was very friendly when we first came in but as soon as we sat down her attitude completely changed and to be quite honest she was the rudest waitress I’ve ever dealt with.
My boyfriend asked if they had coke, she looked at him as if he had 3 heads, and very abruptly said NO , she also done this when I asked if they had hash browns. We ALSO heard her do this to an elderly lady who asked for some strawberry jam, she also was clearly very unhappy with how she was spoken to. The table hadn’t been cleaned down before us either as it was sticky and the cutlery was dirty, this also should have been checked by floor staff.
Again, food was absolutely lovely and the girl that came out from the kitchen to tell us about the shortage of waffles was very kind and friendly but this waitress needs to learn some basic manners and change her attitude to make people feel welcome. Completely ruined our experience as we had heard it was a lovely spot to stop off on our way back from Ballaghaderreen.

Reviews
Dropped into here about an hour before they closed, still busy and welcoming customers in.
Friendly staff, and clean tables and chairs. Great variety of food available too.
Only ordered a coffee and blueberry muffin, which I wasn't told had a buttercream filling. Never had to ask about hidden additions, but maybe a sign on the counter would be advisable to avoid any potential health issues.
Great coffee, great service and excellent food every time we went here.
