And expensive

Margret's cafe without a doubt would get my vote if it was in the poll.

Best in Sligo??? It's a caff that sells burgers and chips. Good for truckers and the like but hardly award winning.

I like the interior of Chapters, but love the selection in Kate's Kitchen - delicious diverse options, especially for veggies.

Osta cafe has the best hot chocolate in Sligo (spiced).

In fairness, when someone says cafe, thats what springs to mind for me. The rest are bakeries, sandwich bars, coffee shops.

In would love to see something like Margarets in the Town Centre, they would make an absolute killing, especailly on the breakfast trade, from the likes of work/trades men and students in the week, and people looking for that hangover cure, or just looking to chill at the weekend. Its informal, cosy, not pretentious, and pretty much does exaxtly what it says on the tin.

Peper Ally is not bad for a breakfast, but is a little over priced, and not there on a sunday morning when in most need. The Rooftop breakfast, well its just meh.

Yet you see your highfalutin "Cafeaaaays" close down every other week, while Margret still holds their own. Best breakfast in the town. Fact.

I agree 100% with everything you have said.

Yep the ritz used to do a bomb in town.

In fairness OP, you're poll is a bit selective. Shells is in Strandhill, so you would need to list all the 'cafes' in the county to get a proper result.
For instance, Drumcliffe tea house (at Yeats grave) is also out of town, does lovely stuff and isn't mentioned.

We don't have many highfalutin "Cafeaaaays" in Sligo? Keogh's shut down, but that was a restaurant. Can't think of anywhere else recently.

Fair enough, we'll agree to disagree on the interpretation of the word, but Margaret's would be a bog standard caff to me, not that's theres anything wrong with that. I'd love a joint that sold baked potatoes in town, there's lots of them in Yorkshire, and they're such great value.

I thought the Rooftop shut down ages ago? Isn't a Chinese there now?

Truley

Kate's Kitchen would be my favourite

Mint Sauce

Well. The rooftop is not one of them.

Vlove

Can someone please tell me how to edit the polls because I forgot to add stuff? xD

They have something upstairs in the Connacht Gold shop. Never been to the actual one in Drumcliffe, so I can't compare,but it is lovely! It's just as in town as Magarets!

I'd have to go with Lyon's though, love the Merc! or the chicken cesear ciabattas! I've noticed the size has gotten smaller though since the last time I was there though

Where was Keogh's? Can't say I ever heard of it.

I wrote that absentmindedly, I meant Reidys, the cafe-restaurant-winebar type place opposite Sligo Library, it was very blue, in a bad location.

red sean

Ya, remember it. Was nice food when I was in there.

Obviously it shouldn't be an option in this poll(or thread really) but Esquires in Carrick is the best cafe I've been to in any kind of a drive from my house. Ya not in Sligo though, hopefully the new costa will be better.
