Right up with my favourite cafes in all my travels.. The food is a par above the usual little cafe of this type and the banter from any of the staff is even better. The prices aren't any higher for this extra quality. Its a real gem and credit to such a little town.

A wee gem in raphoe. Lovely food, lovely staff especially Carmel. Very reasonably priced. Try the delicious bacon and cabbage. Best scones and appletarts in the land thanks to Dominic's expert baking skills.

Delicious home baked scones, fluffy and light. Good coffee. I asked for my scone to be heated because I like it heated and served with cream and jam. But this wasn't done because I was told that the Chef believes that this is counterproductive. Scone was lovely but listening to customers is important as well. I will be back soon.
