The deal allowed a range of scones with butter in foil, cream and jam in mini plastic pot. What it didn't allow was to opt for a cappuccino or latte - americano only. It was an ok deal with darn good coffee and good but not great scones. Irish butter and cream are fabulous, the scones were good portioned but the jam was the cheaper stuff. I had walked through the diner with a view to a main meal and got the impression that it was almost school canteen style with the food kept in Bain Marie trays and it put me off a bit. It was a queue and pay system. I ordered, paid and brought our food to the table. We sat at a table outside the cafe in the centre concourse and a minute walk from M&S and it was a pleasant way to while away an hour or at least au whiled away an hour while my wife did some more shopping.

Oh we do love village Ireland - it has a uniquely warm charm. Most tourists head for Dublin,…read moreGalway, Cork and while they are wonderful in themselves, getting away from big populations is a joy. So we ambled out of Galway through Ireland's ancient history: to Athenry. This is a medieval town that has its town wall, it's priory, Athenry Castle, and its 13th century Anglo-Norman street - plan yet most Irish know it from the song 'The Fields of Athenry' likely the country's real national anthem. We were in the vicinity of Aughrim - one of the battle sites 1690/91 with the sister battle of the Boyne being the one that is still celebrated by one of the two divided communities in Northern Ireland. Next on our radar came Moate in the county of Westmeath. A one street town essentially. The name An Móta derives from the term motte and bailey. The Normans built an example of this type of fortification here and the earthwork is still visible behind the buildings on the main street. The town later became an important marketplace and Quaker village with several extant examples of Quaker houses on the main street, which itself is typical of an Irish marketplace. So, surrounded by living history in a land with some rocks 1.7 billion years old and the limestone we stood on 350 million years old we decided on good coffee and this place looked ideal. It was ideal. There was a chap a walking/talking waiter/chef/pastry cook/barista serving anyone who came in range whether they wanted served or not. We only wanted coffees but I spied the rhubarb tart which brought out his genuine Irish charm. I baked it myself this morning it's the best rhubarb tart you'll taste. I grow the rhubarb in my back garden. Sold says I. He was right on all counts. The taste of a piece of tart brought me back to my childhood. This tart was undoubtedly home made and had no muck added. The coffees - flat white and cappuccino - were excellent too and generous portions. It wouldn't be Ireland though as at the next table was a chap with an all day fry up. He had 2 of sausages, bacon, eggs, then black and white pudding, beans and half a loaf of toasted bread and copious butter. He said to his companion 'it's a bit light' pronounced 'tis a bi loigh' he focussed on the absence of mushrooms. So as the walking/talking waiter/chef/pastry cook/barista came with our coffees Mr Greedy announced tis a bi loigh there's no mushrooms to hear they didn't come in the deal but cost extra. The thought of having to pay a bit more when he had enough food to keep him fed three days made him say tis alroig but the walking/talking waiter/chef/pastry cook/barista brought him mushrooms anyway at no extra cost with the other half of the toasted loaf. He thanked him for his generosity and as the walking/talking waiter/chef/pastry cook/barista walked away Mr Greedy said under his breath to his embarrassed companion told ye it was a bi loigh Good coffee with light entertainment and a greedy bastard thrown in.

Great stop on our way to Galway from Dublin! Site was originally a church. Very pretty and quaint…read more What a nice little spot for a homey lunch. Our small tour group was met by a lovely woman who came out in the rain to meet us. Husband had the triple decker club sandwich, which was good. Nice sized serving, good bread. I ordered the soup of the day, which was carrot & coconut, with a little too much pepper. I hadn't planned on saying anything, as the bread that came with it was so tasty I didn't mind, however a staff member- perhaps the owner?- came and noticed I hadn't eaten much. She inquired as to why I hadn't eaten much then went to check on it, saying there would be no charge, because the soup was too spicy. I never would have expected this. Everyone was so very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this Cafe to anyone driving through in need of a spot of tea, a hearty breakfast, or sandwich and chips.

I spent a lot of time one night searching for somewhere that I thought all of our pallets would like and I'm so glad I chose this restaurant. If there was a grade higher than an A+ plus they would get it. Toss out a raggedy Gokd star they get a diamond star. The staff was gorgeous and so friendly and like they get such a nice ambience in the restaurant. The decor was comfortable and really pretty and slightly eclectic but that's my style. And the food oh my God kisses to the chef he actually managed to get everybody in my party to eat a whole meal without complaining. Everything was seasoned so well which even though the food is fresher and so much better in Ireland there was several restaurants that we ate at where I was like there's no flavor. You cannot say that about Wholesome foods they are named appropriately it was such a good time. Though I may make one suggestion and that's the required uniform for the females all of their shirts are sheer. If they comfortable in it all to you ladies you looked great. If not maybe let the girls have a different shirt. Also thank you for hot, delicious , well portioned, and amazing food and desert !!!

This was during one of our drives between cities and this was a wonderful stop. The ambience of the city, the location, and most of all the food was superbly on point and prepared perfectly. Plenty of healthy options, plenty of fresh juice options, and plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions. I'm looking forward to returning sometime in the near future and hopefully bringing some of my friends back with me. The city in general, the historical value of the buildings, and the overall feel was something that people must experience.
