This cafe was listed in The Irish Times Best Shops in Ireland in 2015, it deserves its reputation for quality cakes, home made food of all kinds in a restored old building with warm and friendly owners. Its a co-operative and all the money goes into the local community. A real find. Its on the main street in Loughmore about 4 miles from our house.

Super value in a nearby location some outdoor seating in the summer months. They have a set menu of €24 for three courses. We went there with 5 people and they allowed us to share 3 menus as we did not all want three courses. So, in all very flexible place.

This is a short drive away over in Templemore. On a fine day this is a great place to visit and get some exercise up the hill to the top of the Devils bit. You can see for miles around. Then have lunch or a snack in the new csfe in the centre of templemore near the Park entrance.
