Terrible experience at this restaurant. They advertise gluten-free options but served me a vegetarian breakfast instead. The waitress was rude and aggressive when I tried to question the order. The breakfast I received for €13.50 included 1 egg, small beans, burnt vegetarian bacon, vegetarian pudding, and mushrooms - not at all worth the price. When I mentioned that I ordered gluten-free, not vegetarian, the waitress replaced the burnt vegetarian bacon with an even more burnt piece of actual bacon. She seemed confused about the difference between gluten-free and vegetarian. After expressing my dissatisfaction, she refused to give me her name and walked away. I will never return to this place.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely stunning, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I was completely impressed and highly recommend this place. I will definitely be returning soon. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

This restaurant is without a doubt one of the worst I have ever visited. The management and staff are impolite, and the food is extremely disappointing. It's simply a sad experience overall.

Went shopping on a Saturday afternoon. Decided to go for brunch in this spot. My partner ordered the full breakfast and I ordered the breakfast burrito. Took close to half an hour for our food to arrive in a half full restaurant. Food itself was bland flavourless and cheap. My partners poached egg came hard boiled no runny yoke. 1 sausage 1 piece of bacon some pudding and hash browns, along with clearly very out of date mushrooms. Breakfast burrito wasn’t much better. An employee or a manger came over to me as of writing this review to enquire what was wrong. He told tell the mushrooms were in fact fresh from that morning despite being severely wrinkled and bruised even after cooking. All around terrible experience, which somehow was made worse by passive aggressive interaction with the manager ? trying to tell me I’m wrong. To his credit he did make a half hearted attempt to refund me which I turned down preferring to just leave the restaurant at that stage. wanted to include pictures of said mushrooms but staff interaction happened before I could

Went to Ashtown branch three times in the last fortnight. Very quiet both afternoons, but busier for mornings. Coffee twice with a pal. Not great. We ordered two flat whites and had to send them back. Staff surprised but re-did them but gave back exact same kind of milky latte coffees. Not friendly staff if I’m honest. Breakfast food on 3rd occasion was excellent. Pricey, but worth it. Huge 4-egg omelette with gorgeous sourdough toast. Bang for your buck! Again, staff were not welcoming on arrival. Just let us get our own seats and we’re clear that there was NO table service and we had to return to the till to order and pre-pay. Odd as it was very quiet and table service would have been nice! Coffees were again poor. On positive note space is lovely and bright. Outdoor seating is great for sunny weather. Right on the canal walkway. Food is expensive but quality is excellent. Parking is limited on road but tons under Supervalue. Beside Ashtown train station and close to Phoenix Park.
