Builín Blasta in An spidéal

Builin blasta is a gem on route to what one could called the gateway to Connemara, the food is great, lovely selection re retail and local goods and on a sunny day there isn’t a nicer spot. My only qualm is the music selection, a lot of establishments put a great deal of thought into food, decor and service and then don’t think about the type of music they are choosing to play in their establishment. I could be wrong but I get the sense that Builin hasn’t given it much thought . Today I had my lunch in Builin, lovely lunch, the place was packed and the music, some kind of odd selection of fast paced thumping teenage rock, lots of drums. honestly it made me want to leave as soon as I could it was the opposite to relaxing, it just adds another layer of noise It’s just the wrong kind of tunes for this cafe, and don’t get me wrong I love music, I’m a musician.. so please Builin, re think your playlist and I gurantee you everyone will be at lot happier, mile buiochas

Very good food and menu. Always a pleasure to dine there.

Excellent place for a some nice food, cakes, coffee and tea 🍵

Sourdough sandwich for 12e but the bread is not proper sourdough?? Tasted like Gallaghers slice pan toasted. Removed ham as I’m a veggie but still payed full price. A bit sickening with too much butter in there and it was a bit soggy from not being toasted properly. 18e for two teas and a sambo is ludicrous - if quality was up to it then no problem but I’m afraid this just was not worth raving over! Bit of a shame as it’s a nice spot and I appreciate what’s being achieved at the village overall!

Friendly staff, was busy Saturday afternoon during fair weather. Portions are a good size, menu only available at the counter where you also order, was a bit difficult for older people to order. The side salad to the Philo-pastry Quiche was very leafy with a nice light dressing.

Great food and treats, you can buy some home sauces and other bits.

All the good. I had the soup of the day and it was lovely.

Great café, lovely staff and amazing products for sale
