As one satisfied customer, Hugh, shares: "Great breakfasts and treats, lovely coffee. The staff are excellent. Highly recommended."

One highlight you shouldn't miss is their organic coffee, which has garnered rave reviews. Kim Kalis praises their "fantastic organic coffee" and hints at their delectable offerings like the "triple choc pain au choc," a sweet indulgence perfect for those craving a rich treat.

They got 5 stars because: 1- I was served a sandwich after waiting 45 minutes, and after claiming when I was going to be served. 2- They served 2 different groups of people who went in after me, before I was. 3- My husband was served a full Irish in 35 minutes. So if you want to go to a place where an unqualified person serves you, can't calculate the time needed to serve one table at the same time, and can't organise how to serve their customers, that's the place to miss! 5 stars to the slowest server ever! The lady was OK, the "lad" should try and get professional training, or get another job! Portumna, Galway.

I stopped for late breakfast (I am Greek) so most of the times here in Ireland my problem is that they stopped serving breakfast. It was really nice - not anything wow, but descent, the service was excellent, the man was funny and kind and helpful AND they accept dogs inside!!!!

We enjoyed our visit here. You enter via the health food shop. This is a fairly new cafe and the decor is somewhat rudimentary, but we were comfortable and the atmosphere was chilled. The service was friendly and fast. We just had coffee and it was particularly good. The guy serving was knowledgeable about coffee and fun to chat with. The lady in the health food shop was also friendly and engaging when I had a quick look around with my baby. If we lived in the area we would go to Cool Beanz regularly.

If you're looking for the best coffee around, lovely staff and a dog friendly experience then drop in to Cool Beanz. My dog is always made welcome and the coffee is delicious!
