Coffee in Athenry

roseagra

Looking for recommendations to grab a nice but reasonable cup of coffee round Athenry where you could work on a laptop or read a book for a while.

Had an experience over the weekend of being charged €4 for a 'large' coffee at a premises (I asked if they did large coffee and was told it was no problem, I'm afraid being charged that much for coffee was a problem for me :eek:).

So any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I'd say the Old Barracks, try the toblerone cheese cake while your there as well, delicious.

Drink coffee and read a book in public in athenry?????? Sweet jebus ,get out now before your lynched by the local hurley swinging, turf eating,
sheep lovin, locals :pac:

roseagra

Careful now Stella, who's to say that the book isn't Sean Óg Ó hAilpín's autobio? ( :eek: ) .....slightly unlikely to be honest

And good recommendation on the cheesecake, I'd heard good things before. It's a crying shame though that there aren't more options, even 'town', i.e. city is a bit low on good 'reading' cafes.

Muchas gracias folks

Town Cafe
Lovely and relaxing with free WiFi. Coffee and scone is only 2.95
the place is a godsend !!!!

Town Cafe is good. Also check out The Nook... not sure if they have WiFi. The is also a Mocha Beans at Joyces.

I'll second (well third) the Town Café, nice coffee and you can linger a while with a book no bother, there's Mocha Beans in Joyce's car park but tends to be overrun by mothers and toddlers

ETA - Dantbyhid - where is The Nook?

the nook is grand for a takaway crepe but its TINY hence the name.
its just down the road from Bradys butchers across from Italian restaurant
