Ordered a mocha and a hot chocolate! Both were served with a complimentary biscuit, which was a nice touch.
The service was friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the cafe was clean and hygienic. Unfortunately, both hot beverages were very average and weren't worth the money. For a cafe located in the centre of Newbridge shopping centre, I expected the drinks to be of a much higher standard, so it was quite disappointing...
That said, I'll give them another chance and try their breakfast menu and pastries on my next visit. Hopefully, they'll leave a better impression.

My go-to café every time! The staff are always so friendly and chatty, creating such a lovely atmosphere. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, the food is delicious, and the coffee is excellent. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Cool cafe, looks pretty busy. The staff is nice and the order came out pretty fast. Irish breakfast was like in the photo, cost around €17 if I remember right. You kinda pay extra for the amazing view of the parking lot and the fabulous barrier gate, plus the White Water Castle peeking out in the distance. On the right, there’s an extension from a completely different era — the legendary Dealz tower — apparently connected to the main courtyard through some mysterious catacombs."
