Had a quick run into this lovely place in Mallow city. Grabbed a few bites and it was lovely, the place is very clean and welcoming. The order was served very fast. We had some panini and chicken baguette along with some side salads and hot chocolate.

Lovely cafe in mallow, always very good for hot food, wraps or coffee and cake, all really nice. Spotless inside all food made freshly, great home made brown bread and apple tarts!
Had a party recently and ordered home made pavlova and a sherry trifle, both amazing! Pavlova full of fruit incredible, a reall show stopper! Best cafe I know!
