Taste of Provence — Restaurant in Fingal

Love this place. Great coffee and food BUT.... had a disappointing experience there this morning. Myself and son ordered €14 worth of coffee and pastries to have indoors However when I received my coffee it was only like warm. I qpproched the gentleman who was making coffees and explained re my coffee being only warm.

He completely contradicted me and said' that is impossible'. I explained I only put a drop of milk into my coffee. He went on and said again how impossible it was and turned to his water machine to realise the switch was not on....... he turned it on and proceeded to get on with his work and didn't offer an apology which I was extremely surprised and upset. When I said it to him re it being turned off he said 'well I turned ut on this morning.'.... I did receive another replacement coffee but not an apology for the luke warm coffee or for contradicting me. I always thought the customer is always right? Well unfortunately this was not my...

Wow! The freshest food in the whole of Ireland! I did not see such quality anywhere else. Amazing small businesses like this need support from people. I don't understand why anyone would instead go to Starbucks, etc, when there is so much more value in these amazing small businesses. The staff are the nicest people you could ever meet, so polite, so helpful, so young but with more customer service skills than I see in many many places. The owner of this place is a lucky person. I feel sorry for these young staff though, seeing them all masked up barely being able to breathe, pulling their masks up every time an overzealous C.o.v. charade supporter enters the shop. What a crazy world we live in! The amount of people without basic critical thinking skills that blindly adhere to these human/fundamental/natural rights INFRINGEMENTS is disturbing! What are we teaching our young generations?! Amazing Coffee Shop! I hope you do well in these...

If you are someone who looks for something other than the cookie cutter chains, then this is the place to go. Being unique/different is not enough on it's own. But, it has so much more. The staff were friendly, the place was clean. I had the carrot cake and it was lovely. The coffee .... I had a cappuccino and I can safely say it is one of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to go back and try more cake with my next cappuccino. Prices were very good considering the quality. Parking was easy - apart from in front, there is more along the side. Highly recommended!

I just thought I'd give an update as I came back and tried a different treat. The first time I was here I had the carrot cake. This time I went for the strawberry baked cheesecake - both super tasty! Cappuccino was same as before - fabulous!

Having visited Aix en Provence many times, I completely agree - this IS a Taste...
