Insomnia - Dublin Road, Ratoath

This place really is the pits. I generally try and avoid it but sometimes end up popping in when I 've forgotten something from fallon Byrne or somewhere good. Everything here costs at least 50% more than other places, often lower quality and there 's always a big queue with one person serving. Despite the name, their fruit veg is dire and their 'deli ' is microwaved rubbish. They definitely present themselves well but they 're just an expensive tesco

Reminded me of a Whole Foods market in the US. Everything looks fresh, clean and staff were very helpful. They also sell liquor behind the cash register which is new to me.

All of the Insomnia Coffee Shops out of an extremely good quality service and stuff

Horribly overpriced. They have an awesome stock of stuff and the selections are great but I just could never stomach the price of it.

It's all about the hot carvery roll. €5.25 gets you a roll with beef, turkey or ham (or turkey AND ham if you ask nicely) and all the salad trimming. This thing is a monster, it's essentially a carvery lunch in a roll minus the Brussels sprouts, but who wants Brussels sprouts anyway? Horrible mutant dwarf cabbages is all they are! A bewildering array of protein bars is the gauntlet you must run to pay for your purchases. Also an Insomnia coffee stand inside. Seating area cold draughty so you won't stay long, but the carvery roll makes it worth it.
