I found when I walked in the main door the cafe is on the left very spacious, colourful and open. Friendly enough to invite you over for a cup of tea, have a few buns or even munch through some chocolate treats

Mulhall's Restaurant is the 'piece de resistance' for anyone wanting a piece of Old Ireland in Food from the Full Irish Breakfasts through to Afternoon Teas and a plethora of in-be-tweens from gorgeous confectionery, teas, coffees, desserts and a most helpful, friendly staff with excellent value and a window view out on the square!

Myself and a friend were down in Portlaoise for a match in O'Moore Park and stopped in to Kelly Lou Cakes for coffee and a snack as we had parked nearby.Very friendly place and bustling with people so that in itself was a pretty good recommendation before we even sat down.Huge array of tasty looking cakes and pretty good coffee. Very prompt service with a smile and very reasonable prices.

5. Bull Lane Delicatessen
Reviewed By JKay G
Bull Lane is a great little delicatessen and café with very friendly and helpful staff. Itâs mostly designed to be a place to take food and drinks to go but it does have a counter and stools at the window. I picked up a flat white and a small Portuguese sweet cream tart. The espresso coffee was delicious, and the flat white was really well made. The coffee, from a traditional Italian roaster, is actually a 50:50 Arabica/Robusta beans and it blew away my misconception that you canât make good coffee with Robusta beans. The tart was interesting; the sweet cream was like dense sweet custard, rich with egg yolks. Iâm not crazy about custardy things (why did you buy it then?!) but still enjoyed it! My brother goes there often, in particular for their Reuben sandwich, and highly recommends their savory food (along with the coffee!). They have just been has been nominated for Best Café Award in the Restaurants Association of Ireland â congrats folks! Iâm also giving them 4/5 âgreen starsâ for social and environmental impact. They have a lot of healthy and vegetarian options and their food is made in-house, including condiments like chutneys, dressings and pickles. They source ingredients locally whenever possible; from either the green grocer next door or their own garden (the owners have a poly tunnel). They source their local cheese directly from makers or via Sheridanâs and their bread is from a local artisan baker. They use free-range eggs, including some from hens belonging to a staff-member! Their coffee is from Portioli, and old family-run roaster from Milan. Itâs probably because Portioli are so old-school that they have nothing to say about their coffee sourcing practices and they also donât have any certifications (Organic, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, etc.) so itâs hard to judge for sure. Coffee aside, Bull Lane deserves kudos for making the effort to be independent from Big Food and intensive agriculture. Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me!

4. Brew Cafe
Reviewed By Angeld62
Met a friend here for coffee recently as we were both working in the area and itâs a handy out of town location. The menu has plenty choice, lots of cakes and sweet treats daily in addition. We had poached eggs/ bacon/ spinach/ avocado on brown bread (the bread is YUM). Presentation was lovely, portion generous and great value. Iâm not a fan of streaky American style bacon of which there was loads so next time I would choose differently. The service and coffee were exceptionally good. Would happily go back. Cake sampling next time for sure!!!

Basic table and chairs certainly nothing to look at decorations wise. In fact could do with a complete overhaul. It was 8.30am and only place open. Normally I would keep walking. Well if I had I would of missed one of the nicest full Irish I have had in a longtime. One guy working on his own and it was a busy spot even for that hour of the morning. Not sure how he does it but I would absolutely go back here and definitely recommend it. YUM

We stopped for afternoon tea here recently. It has always been a favourite stop over for me enroute to Athlone. Great choice of cakes and desserts too. But I couldn't believe the price increase! Practically all cake slices and desserts â¬5.15. Only one dessert lemon drizzle cake was less than that at â¬4.30. I had this. It was nice. My daughter opted for a rice crispie square which we assumed was cheaper only to find when we paid, that it was â¬5.15 too Definitely OTT. Considering the location and it being day time I think the prices are too high. Our server said this is because of the increase in VAT and the quality of the ingredients. It's a pity about the prices but a nice place to eat and food is good.
