Coffee
I pop in there the odd time for my coffee stop. They really do have a perfect spot dead centre of the shopping centre. 😂
They have a lovely wee team working there so you'll be served well. Always friendly to you! The lady even gave my coffee a slick haircut! Loved it. 😁
I went to the Monaghan town Shop in the shopping centre with my newborn and my 2 other boys. While I was breastfeeding my newborn baby my 2 year old dropped some water from the bubble maker. I didn’t notice the situation as I was busy feeding the baby and one of the employees came over and told us to move to another place as she had to close that area as the floor was too slippery. She didn’t treat us in a nice or calm manner. She was out of control, like something really bad happened. It was a bit of water that she could’ve dried with a bit of paper, instead she started putting paper all over and close the area. I had to get up really quickly as she insisted I had to go. I was with 3 kids and my mom who is 72 and doesn’t speak English and she wasn’t nice as she claimed she was being. We left altogether as I didn’t feel welcomed. We left the coffee and some of the muffin. The coffee wasn’t nicely prepared anyways. That was 15 euro really bad spent. I’m not going to come back to this store and I’m not going to recommend it. Such a pity as I always have a good experience in other stores.
I can honestly say the staff member made one of the best latte oat coffees I have had. Even with my request of an extra shot and kids temperature so I could take my tablets right away.
