There should be a blanket ban on serving anyone who comes to the counter of any business on their phone and mouths their order. It is, undoubtedly, the rudest of behaviour.

Recently, we removed all Coca Cola products. Instead we work with Irish drinks including Flor Uisce, King of Kefir, All About Kombucha, Tipperary Apple Farm juice and lemonades too. A drinks menu which compliments our locally sourced food menu nicely ⁦⁦ @GoodFoodIreland

When I opened the cafe I asked Alan for four of his Cork prints. Such was the popularity of those prints that we added another piece, and another, and another. Now Alan’s work is part of the character of the cafe. Whose work is that? I get asked every day without fail.

People (you know the sort) are boycotting Tesco because Panti is in their advertising campaign. Where has all this anger come from and why is it manifesting itself so strongly of late? Growing up with Lily Savage on Blankety Blank and no one ever cared. Yet, here we are.

I’ve made a few changes to the place recently. The two big round tables are gone and are now four small tables. A move that really helps us during busy periods but also our little place is very popular for solo dining which is my favourite way to dine.
