Great little builders cafe. A hidden gem with not only your traditional full Irish breakfast but also something different. My daughter had the breakfast burrito and I had the breakfast hash and they were delicious. I can definitely recommend this cafe for a great value hearty breakfast.

Wow fabulous place to eat especially their breakfast. My husband and son in law both had full breakfast, my daughter had small breakfast and I had poached egg on toast, the eggs were PERFECT 💯%.

A busy spot for breakfast. The staff are lovely and friendly. They have a proper builder's breakfast, and you won't leave hungry. They also do lunch, and I believe they have started delivery's.
