Friendly staff
Great visit to this cafe during the Hinterland Festival. Was busy but staff were excellent and attentive, particularly Rosie. Generous portions and a definite recommendation.
Thanks Paul, it was a bit mental! Glad we didn't disappoint!
What a delightful cafe in the heart of Kells! The staff are so kind, especially Annie who became my long lost cousin by the end of our meal. We enjoyed countless laughs and stories about the area. Our meals were sensational, full of traditional Irish pride! This is a must stop while visiting Kells!! 💖
Annie is one of a kind! Lovely to meet you all!
Myself and my friend stumbled upon this gorgeous little place this morning and im so glad we did. Ive recently just moved here to kells and still finding my feet. This place was so welcoming and warm. It was like just sitting at home 😊 we had two breakfasts and the kiddies had a lovely time too, we will definitely be back again. You've gained two new customers. Highly recommend if passing through.
Thank you much much. Lovely to meet you both and the babies!
