I didn't ask anyone about covid cert yesterday, which we had to offer. no details. Nobody asked if it was there while we were there. owner outside the counter without mask. breakfast bap inedible. pancakes cold. pancakes nice. shoe service. when I tried to complain about the missing Kovid compliance, we were simply brushed and ignored! not good enough and I am attached to the showers between the tables

I only had a super omelette here while my man had a complete breakfast. we were both thrilled with eating (and it was a big part on hot plates cooked with everything to order). our neighbours in the restaurant couldn't be...more in need (I'm polite, but the waiting staff treated them so well, despite not respecting in the opposite. they handled all Covid requirements well and regulations in the es pane, toilets, counters etc. went beyond the request. well made in restaurant. we're coming back.

I had breakfast here. it was a good size portion, but the quality of eating was not great, rather poor. coffee was good. I'd eat somewhere else.

The breakfast bap sandwiches are the BEST. Breakfast here generally is the best for what you get to the cost ratio. It's a cozy interior with an interesting layout. Maybe not the best for really large groups, although they jame ample seats and tables outside (all year round) to accommodate. At first then giant TV kinda threw me off, but I've come to appreciate that it's mostly always playing love music performances (blues and jazz mainly) that does lend to the ambience. Have I said how good the breakfast baps are? Absolute mood lifters! Great for eating in or for a filling takeaway.

A gem of a find on bank holiday Monday on Tralee. Don’t let the name put you off….this fab find has an extensive menu and the ambience and background music is class!! Comfortable seating. Coffees are excellent and we enjoyed one full Irish with quality produce and my partner had the tastiest omelette than had a twist of being made with a little garlic sauce. Sorry no photos our plates are now empty. Thanks
