Friendly staffTasty foodBreakfast
Wow, what a gorgeous cafe/restaurant!! Myself and Sally the dog had a great time. Thank you so much for accommodating Sally. And making her a special chicken pizza. She absolutely loved it. Thank you Chef Chris ❤️ I also had a dirty chai on oat which was soooo good. I definitely recommend. And on behalf of Sally she recommends for all the doggos out there 🐾 We visited St Bridget's Fire Temple and Cathedral around the corner, prior to visiting Firecastle in Kildare's Village Square.
I notice you guys have a restaurant in Kildare Village also which is amazing!!
Looking forward to heading back to both soon ❤️
Thank you Guys. I am back from Australia, and taking care of Sally. So to be able to enjoy a sit down meal with her at your cafe was incredible.
Love your work 🥰
Thank you. We really appreciate it

Highly recommend!
