Javaholics Coffee

Lovely setting if you get a seat outside in the sun .
This place is nice for a coffee, scone or cakes .
Breakfast ok nothing special and when u see orange juice squeezed from a carton its disappointing from a independent shop, but staff nice and as I say for quick coffee, cake its a lovely place …

Lovely coffee with a view over Fairview park. I had cappuccino and a raspberry scone which was quite nice when it’s too late for breakfast and too early for lunch. The staff were very pleasant and chatty.

A good spot for a coffee and a chat, attentive staff members will always come over to see if you want another round, although not to a Mrs Doyle-​like degree. It’s also fine if you come in on your own, as the window sills are filled with secondhand novels and magazines. It does do a hot breakfast but the only way you can get your eggs is scrambled — I think it’s done by microwave reheating rather than stove top cooking.

Going out for breakfast is a bit of a luxury for me. I don’t allow myself the extravagance all that often, but when I do I want it to be special.
The Javaholics breakfast experience was really disappointing for me. I ordered scrambled eggs with tomato and a freshly squeezed orange juice.
The scrambled eggs were good enough but not very tasty — nothing special there. I’d envisaged the tomato might be of the roma variety, might be lightly grilled with some interesting spices, might be juicy and delicious. I was horrified to find that it was simply 2 thin slices of wearied tomato, so very barely cooked and then thrown on the side of my plate.
When I order ‘freshly squeezed orange juice’ I do not expect to see the staff pouring it from a Tesco container. Enough said.
My breakfast ‘treat’ came to a saddening 10 euro, and to think I could have done it at home for about 3… Next time I will.

Javaholics is a wonderful little local café that offers breakfast and lunch options at very reasonable prices. The coffee is good and the atmosphere is always humming. It’s simplistic in style and presenation but the quality is excellant. A cosy little place great for meeting friends and unwinding.
