I have tea and food in there every now and again and I love it in there. The food is delicious and the staff are so kind. Noticed they have some new staff in there and met a new girl called Isabel. She was so nice and helped me with any questions I had, great customer service skills.

Excellent soda bread! Came in for a bowl of soup (also very nice) and liked the bread so much we got a loaf for home. The innner covered courtyard is really nice as well.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Quigleys cafe, and I must say that the experience was absolutely delightful from the moment I stepped through the door. In particular, it was the exceptional service provided by Isabel that made the experience. She greeted me with a genuine smile and made me feel instantly welcome. Throughout the she provided insightful recommendations and answering all of my questions with a genuine passion for the cuisine. She anticipate my needs before I even had to ask, she consistently delivered exceptional service with friendliness and genuine enthusiasm which was contagious and heightened my experience. I will definitely be returning !

Absolutely blown away by the cake Quigley’s made for my wife’s birthday! It looked stunning, tasted incredible, and was a real showstopper at the party. Everyone was asking where we got it from and my wife couldn’t have been happier! What made it even better was how quick and easy their online ordering service was. Simple to navigate, great communication, and everything was ready exactly as promised. Massive thanks to the whole team at Quigley’s for making the day extra special. We’ll definitely be ordering again for the next occasion!

I'm local, just discovered this charming place to eat! Lovely staff, and enjoyed the Vanilla Slice, Sausage Roll and a great pot of Tea. Will go back often. But. found it a bit pricey for the amount of tea,,coffee, cakes, for 2 people. But, worth it, for the pleasant experience. Enjoyable!
