Reviews
"Ugly building but great coffee shop"
"We went there the beginning of the year after being many years ago at the famine exhibition. That exhibition was fantastic. We all loved it. This one was very interesting too. The only thing we noticed was that you cannot tell the difference between employees and customers meaning who is acutally out having coffees, a smoke and who is in charge. Something very umprofessional indeed. But maybe that is the way they "roll there". I will go in when we are back in Summer."
"Top drawer coffee and confectionery served stylishly in a darling village outside Dublin's city."
"Tired ideas in a wasted building. Not worth the visit. It seems to be a place that not very talented local artists exhibit. Could be better used. Really don't understand the rave reviews posted, as the local supermarket would entertain you more"
"When I visited, the 'Coming Home' exhibition was on. A very poignant show. I loved the way contemporary pieces and work from the era were shown together. On a different note...super coffee shop, lovely warm day so sat outside and enjoyed delicious quiche and salads. Felt a tad guilty thinking of the famine!"
