    I popped into this coffee shop / cafe in Balbriggan for a bit of lunch due to the closure of the bracken court .Bit surprised at poor standard of food/service/seating - everything actually. Did I get it on a wrong day or is it a complete dump?

    Been there a few times and it does the job tbh. The layout isn't great but the food has always been fine when I've been there.

    Trax is still the best spot for lunch in Balbriggan though :)

    Was in Trax this morning for brekkie, it's nice all right, I think Cate's Kitchen in Moylaragh still has the edge on it, though.

    Haven't been to the Coffee Pot for a while but the food was always good there, surprised to hear it wasn't up to scratch.

    Haven't been to Cate's Kitchen yet. Must venture up that side and check it out.

    I think the Thread title says it all. Its a great place for hangover food - far better for breakfast than Trax. If I was looking for a nice lunch I wouldnt go there. Have to say for what is does I find the food and service very good. As regards the decor/seating I sort of like the fact that it isnt trendy.

    I just find the back part a little oppressive. Also don't like being so close to the jacks :)

    When we go out for lunch in work we tend to do a rotation between Trax, Bagel Bar and the greasy spoon.

    I've been to the hotpot many times and always enjoyed the fair(greasyspoon). Cheap enough also.
    A few of my mates have ventured up to Cates in LL and aparently its very good..
    I never enjoyed Trax.

    Main Street Coffee is great for a nice weekend breakfast,I prefer it to Cates but Cates in less then a 5 minute walk.
    Trax are the only place that do pancakes though.
