Corner House Cafe

Kevin

This is another one of those gems we've found along the way - somewhere between Westport and Athlone along some very random small roadway.  Walked in the door the counter displays were filled with wonderful looking goodies, smells yummy, obviously all homemade and there was this little boy peeking at us from behind the counter.  I said 'hello' are you going to help us (?) and he say's "no" and runs away yelling "Mum, there's people here".  Turns out he did assist his Mum and served our scones and empty tea/coffee cups (he's not allowed to carry hot things).  The cafe was painted with great little sayings, wonderful cheerful place - although there was one old man sitting in the corner, looking grumpy as hell, eating steak and eggs. I smiled at him and he only grunted back at me.  Turns out Kevin's mum moved there from England a few years ago and has been running this cafe and B&B and seems to making a good go of it.  The coffee, tea and raisin scones were very good in-deed.
