I have never been so disappointed in a purchase before today! The name is choices cafe???? Really ? When I didn't get any choice! I order chicken Goujons and chips. ( chips don't bounce Paula) they were rubber, the only thing they would serve for is if I got a flat tyre that's about it.... as for the so-called goujons well it came with two little piececs of chicken.( I've actually picked bigger bogeys from my nose) for €6.00 I feel like one or my arms has been stolen and the kids are still starving.

Went Christmas shopping today with my sister and came across this little gem. Ordered a full Irish and my lord was it full, full of flavour, full of proper food, not cheap products. Very tasty, very large plenty of everything. Atmosphere was festive and the staff we so nice. I would definitely return if I am in Mallow again. 10/10.

Enjoyed a perfectly cooked full breakfast, at a refreshingly reasonable price with tea included (Barrys!). A rarity in that it's a old school proper cafe, nice and clean with a good atmosphere with great staff.
