Cafe La Coco
Cafe
👍 A cafeteria, a very small but well-kept place both inside and outside near the castle. I just took a croissant with blackberry jam inside and a cappuccino that didn't taste like cappuccino, as the Irish would say "not bad" but it gets better. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff for every request....

The owner, Helen, was at the till and had a cheery disposition, more than happy to tell us about the home-made kombucha that they bottle in sterilized tomato sauce containers. €5.50 a bottle in green tea flavor and others.
I recommend the Wellington,...
