    People usually pretend not to hear me when I say this and continue going on about anywhere else. Ah well, it being only 1 euro makes it taste all the better to me :p

    I remember the first few weeks of first year and I got some dry pasta and other lumpy food the odd time. Then it burned down so I made my own food instead. Good times

    Oh man, the O'Briens coffe tasted like liquidised **** the one and only time I had it. Nope, Londis or Bewley's for me, thanks.

    O'Briens is pretty bad (maybe not liquidised **** though:P). Bewleys and Chill are the nicest:) Costa is a bit too pricey for my budget:P

    I ate in there around two weeks ago I wasn't that impressed by the food hope thats changed because I can't cook but I really like food :pac:

    Its a canteen.... there I said it.
    the old Canteen food was decent at best, not super, not out of this world, not incredible, sometimes edible, not worth writing home about, but decent.

    Its to cater to a general student market, namely cheap food and if I'm not mistaken, the food in the new canteen is cheaper then the old one.

    It would be for the Caramel Macchietto, they only sell them in Starbucks, I wouldnt be stopping everyday just for that. Most of the time I will be getting O'Briens.


    Bewleys does a caramel latte.. Give it a go, feckn savage it is!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 116 ✭✭Xqzciara


    1. The hot chocolate in the arts block machine
    2. Bewleys caramel latte
    3. Chill mint hot chocolate
    4. Vanilla Latte from that new place BonBon

    all of the above make me do this face

    The hot chocolate from the machine in the arts block is one of the reasons I decided to stay in Maynooth another year; it's like drinking an orgasm.

    Bewleys in the Arts block! Especially when the younger girl with the red hair is working. Not because I'm a dirty pervert, but because she's good at making coffee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,134 ✭✭✭Duddy


    Sure;)

    My friend was working with a guy who thought that only he got called "hun" by the Scottish girl who works in O'Briens in Hume. He said to my friend, "I reckon I'm well in there." My friend informed him that she calls everyone that!:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    One of the main reasons I hate going that place, she gives me the willies :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,625 ✭✭✭How so Joe


    I think she's quite nice.

    My favourite thing is seeing the bagel factory ladies in other places around the village since the bagel factory shut down. I've seen them working in O'Neill's, in Greene's Deli and in the Café BonBon. I'm keeping a tally of them, and eventually I'll get them back in the bagel factory. F3ck abra and that sh1te!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Get them back in the bagel factory is code for "I'd love to roide em all" is it? :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 912 ✭✭✭Norrdeth


    Ah less of that, they could be on boards, etc.

    yes, that's it exactly.
    How did you know? I thought my secret lesbian tendencies were better hidden than that! You've outed me! Now everyone knows!!

    No, I just loved the bagel factory. I used to go for lunch there twice a day. And you think I'm joking, but I'm not!!

    Bagels... >reverie<

    the bagel factory looked like it was doing alright, surprised it shut down, abraka whatever has barely any customers, at least during the day.

    You must have never heard of the Abrakedabra business model.

    Step 1: locate near to a nightclub/late pub.
    Step 2: Entice drunken customers in with large pictures of chicken.
    Step 3: Charge outrageous prices for a few pieces of chicken that are hopeless.

    In a nutshell, basically they seem to pray that enough drunken customers will come in late at night to keep them tipping over because the food is so bad in general that no sober person will go there during the day.

    In Kilkenny the Abra there is packed every weekend. Every other day of the week though the only people in there are the workers.
