Nice places to eat in Maynooth

Hi,
Can anyone recommend any nice cafe for breakfast or lunch in Maynooth town?

Thanks

Coffee mill for breakfast, although it's a little expensive.

Twist for lunch, can't beat it!

That's actually pretty awesome, I've never seen that before.
To add to what Steve has to say:

the Bagel Factory is closed, it's been replaced by an Abrakebabra.
Esquires in Manor Mills has closed and not been replaced.
There's an O'Brien's in Manor Mills shopping centre, an O'Brien's in Tesco car park and an O'Brien's in NUIM North Campus (John Hume Building).
NUIM SU bar does food at lunchtime.
NUIM SU café Chill does food all day and does delicious crepes, and also sandwiches.
NUIM Canteen, Phoenix, does food AFAIK all day.
The Coffee Mill (last shop before the bridge next to manor mills) does quite good lunch specials and does some epic pancakes for breakfast
The Café BonBon (Mill Street, right hand side as you're heading towards the North Campus) does a selection of sandwiches etc. as well, but is too new to have any real opinions formed on it yet.

Also, my favourite place for lunch is O'Neill's on Main Street - excellent sandwiches, excellent service, normally a good soup and they do a special of a full meal every lunchtime as well.

The Rye man, the Rye *sniff*

That place was the biggest dump I've ever been in. Homer and Bart got all their grease there.

How so Joe

That was the greasy spoon where Greene's is now, wasn't it?
Wow, you people are old, that's been gone for at least four or five years now!

yeah well, maynooth didn't used to have all those newfangled traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, or manor mills.

every road crossing was a run for your life! :pac:

LeixlipRed

Easily. Heard new Roost sucks balls.

Well considering you're working in the college and you did a four year degree which you finished nearly three years ago, if you started college at the age of 17, you'd have to be at least 24, which, to be fair, is pretty ancient.

I swear, I'm not on commission here, but you can get nice grub in BonBon cafe opposite the coffee mill for cheap enough, seen a Croque Monsieur Croissant in there that looked lovely, and the Panini and Ciabattas come with a walfdorf salad ^_^

So I've heard. Didn't go last night but my friends were telling all about it. Sounds a bit awful alright. Glass everywhere and moving everything around

Do you know me? :pac:

Also, if that's your idea of ancient then you're in for some surprise later in life
