Mueller and O'Connell Bakery in Abbeyleix

Amazing place Pistachio lovers should get the suprime 🫠 my heart just melted with every bite ❤️

Only one problem, and it’s a big one, they are not nearer my house.

Really enjoyed our stop over here today. Light lunch was very tasty. Staff were very courteous and helpful. Pop by here again soon.

I’ve discovered this bakery a month ago and since I’ve been here every weekend. The quality of their pastry and coffee is just consistently good. Incredible range of bread and amazing selection of pastries. For those with gluten intolerance, there’s pão de queijo and a few cakes that has no added gluten. I need to mention, they were the best gluten free cakes I’ve ever had. The pistachio croissant supreme (round one) is unbelievable. A must try. The oat milk mocha is the best we ever had! Coffee is consistent and perfect every single time. We’ve met Wellington and he is always beyond nice to us, giving tips of nice walks around the town, always with some good chats. Highly recommend!

We stopped off on our way to heywood gardens. We got sausage rolls , cakes and coffee. I see now why there's a queue. The sausage rolls are so tasty.

I'm under orders to bring bread home. It does a lot of travelling.

1 word AMAZING. everything here is amazing. From bread to pastries. Their homemade foccacia is out of this world. So worth a visit

There are some places that just get it right—every time. For me, that place is Mueller & O'Connell Bakery in Abbeyleix. Whether it’s their signature sourdough, packed with flavour and texture, or their focaccia, light, fragrant, and perfectly crisped—this bakery consistently raises the bar. The craftsmanship, care, and tradition behind every loaf is obvious the moment you step inside or take that first bite. It’s not just bread—it’s what bread is supposed to be. Real ingredients, no shortcuts, and an authenticity that’s rare to find these days. There’s a quiet brilliance in doing something simple, but doing it exceptionally well. And Mueller & O’Connell have that down to an art form. If you haven’t been, do yourself a favour. You won’t regret it.

An absolutely fantastic bakery in Abbeyleix. I chose the raspberry and elderflower mousse cruffin (a cross between a muffin and a croissant) and it was incredible! I have never tasted anything so delicious. The bakery itself was busy and the staff were nice through it all. I got my food to go and it was still fresh and tasty by the time I got home. I highly recommend everyone to check out this wonderful bakery if you ever want to grab a bite passing through.

Great coffee and pastry treats to be found here. Was delighted to discover that they also served matcha - and it was of high quality too! Had a delicious gluten free orange cake to finish it off.
