I was drawn to this café by the name and and decided to take a peek inside. The barrista was very welcoming and was eager to get to know us. He really went out of his way to prepare us some delicious toasties. I'd love to go back one day and listen to the vallenato songs that made us feel like we were in Colombia for a moment.
In Wine Street carpark beside Dawn Fresh, you will find this little gem of a coffee shop. Lovely coffee, creamy and smooth and very friendly staff. Good prices, too. I didn't get a chance to try the food, but I will be back. They also have squid, which is a loyalty app you can download on your phone and earn free coffee.
Thank you Lisa, very much appreciated your feedback about us, hope to see soon again…
They had a tuna wrap, not a fan of wraps but of tuna but the barista made the sandwich for me. It was a flavourful tuna sandwich with a few chillies and red onions. A sandwich and a flat cost under 10 which is a rarity anywhere in Ireland at the moment! Add to it good views and a nice setting.
