This is probably the best coffee shop in Portlaoise. The interior is really lovely and it’s a great place to sit.
The Coffee:
As a specialty coffee fan, I was a bit upset that they don't serve Filter coffee, only espresso-based drinks. They also have a lot of syrups on the counter, which isn't usually a signal for a strict "specialty" coffee shop.
The Food & Milk:
However, the alternative milks here are amazing—definitely a highlight. I also have to mention that they have really nice dessert options, which go perfectly with the coffee.
Verdict:
Overall, it is a lovely cafe and the best option in town. Just keep in mind it's more of a comfort-coffee spot (syrups and lattes) rather than a pure specialty black coffee roaster..

Extremely cute - window seat is nice watching the world go by. The seats are comfortable so that’s a plus and the coffee taste good 👍🏻 staff lovely welcoming and polite. The coconut gluten cake was so good too and I’m not even gluten intolerant. 😋
