I love this cafe! THE friendliest, most welcoming spot for breakfast, lunch and tasty coffee breaks right in the busy shopping district. My favourite is the fluffy buttermilk pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup on the side.

Right in the middle of Athlone the Craft Bistro is super friendly with good food and the very popular all day breakfast. I recommend their own take on Eggs Benedict - who knew balsamic vinegar would taste so good with eggs? It’s fab!
