Lotus Chinese Take-Away in Athlone

22/12/2025: Wasn't aware that this was a dog friendly cafe prior to visiting. Owner told us to bring the dog in. It was so nice that they asked us after seeing us outside. Staff and owner couldn't have been nicer, warm and so welcoming. Well laid out that our dog didn't bother anyone. Food and coffee was delicious. Will definitely visit again.

20/12/2025: I consistently go to this place for over a year now. The sweets and cakes are always good and the coffee is consistent. But it is the staff that makes this place shine. I never had a bad experience and the staff seems to really want you to have the best time while in the store. They are all friendly and polite!
