The Croquet Monsieur impressed me with its size and flavor. Pre-pressed, but warmed and cut before serving is how they arrive in their folded brown bag. Irish ham, cheese, and mustard lifted this sammie out the normal to excellent with the fresh-tasting combination of flavors on my tastebuds. Yum! The service was friendly, helpful, and professional. Their friendliness extended even to their invitation to join the town in cheering the home team in the upcoming Gaelic Football championship game!

The sides of roasted beets, feta cubes, and pumpkin seeds added the perfect balance of flavor and texture. My husband went for the BLT, which was packed with flavor -- beautifully toasted bread filled with crisp bacon, a perfectly cooked egg, and fresh salad greens. Everything tasted so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. They also have a great selection of coffees, which made the meal even better. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautifully presented dishes -- can't recommend this spot highly enough!

Iced Coffee Takeaway review. A highly rated restaurant on Yelp, however, the seating was full and…read morewe decided to go elsewhere. Later, I chose to return for an iced coffee takeaway. "Iced Coffee" means either an iced Americano or an Iced Latte. I chose the former. Before anyone took my order, I waited approximately five or six minutes. Since I was in no rush, I didn't mind. What impressed me was the number of servers who asked me if I was alright. The entry area bustled with the back and forth of servers providing water to the patrons. The dessert case looked tantalizing! I also noticed that all coffee drinks contain two shots! I was guaranteed a nice Americano. My time to order arrived, and not long after, I walked out with my very satisfying iced drink. Another note: The quaint restaurant was beautifully decorated with lights in arches which affords a charming atmosphere.

I didn't think much about it thinking it was raining outside, so who knows if that had something to do with her less than desirable mood. Next day, we were in DT again and my hubby suggested we go back to Toni's for the good coffee. Back we went along with my father who is on crutches. You would think the blonde (unfortunately I never got the name, but she's the one with the hair so severly pulled back on her head that it makes her face look like she's somewhat constipated...sorry). Anyway, she never bothered to greet us or made any attempt at recogizing us from the day prior even though my husband announced..":BACK AGAIN for the coffee". She came to take our order and was so rude practically exiting the table in the middle of the order taking as it seemed she had something else more significant to do. Whatever food my father ordered was simply terrible -- as I recall, it was pork chops the special that day. The presentation too is pathetic!!! But the most notable take away I got from our experience was that this lady's attitude needs to change if Toni's are hoping to remain in business. If I were the owner (to blame also), I would make sure to talk to my employees/manager and review proper ettiquette when it comes to dealing with customers and emphazing the importance of greeting paying clients coming thru the door with a smile and saying Thank YOU upon exit. Or at least some half assed attempt at saying good bye.. "thank you for coming in today"! It's really sad that little old Ireland given the dire financial/unemployment straits it finds itself in these days, and the hopefullness to persuade folks to come there for "The Gathering", cannot seem to get the basic things right when it comes to simple gestures and appreciation for folks who are keeping their establishment in business. I mean, seriously, I would absolutely never set foot in Toni's again and certainly not while the "clock stopper face" is there. Next day however, we found ourselves back in the town yet again and hungry, and were very pleased with the service and food received at The Blueberry. Those folks know how to be pleasant to their customers. Toni -- please encourage the "clock stopper face" to frequent the Blueberry and take some notes. In fact, it would do her the world of good to spend a week there so she can get fully clued in about proper customer service. And also, have her read some self-help books as it is very effident that she is mega UNHAPPY with what she does for a living. Good Luck!! I hope Donegal Democrat start writing articles on such appalling service so visitors know which establishments to avoid vs. the ones which deserve business.

I love their food, cakes, deserts, coffee. However, the mother doesn't like the food as they don't have turkey/ham and spuds. So if you looking for a traditional Donegal dinner go to Dom's or the Central. If you want some good fresh, made on the premises, not-traditional grub, then head here. I should warn you that the cafe is small, and at lunchtime does get busy and you may not get a seat. If you visiting town, stop here before noontime and after 1pm as the lunch-rush will have subsided. Aroma recently opened a 2nd location closer to the center of town. It's across the street from Magee's factory on New Row. I haven't tried it, so I'll let someone else review it. It is a bigger location.
