Absolutely lovely staff, they take time to remember if you need anything special regarding your order and have outstanding attitudes to customers. Coffee is delicious, I'd recommend the vegan sausage roll for a quick bite and they have a loyalty program you can use each time you visit.

Good coffee and a snack for a break in down town of Portlaoise. The place is nice and if the weather is good, staying outside is great to feel city's vibe.
