Mueller and O'Connell Bakery in Abbeyleix

The food was excellent . Coffee ok. Sat at a window seat. However there were disposable cups napkins crumbs etc left by previous diners that staff did not remove in the 40 minutes we were there, we moved them to one side. The Coffee is a bit expensive. Nonetheless a great premises, friendly staff and atmosphere 👌

You can tell a good place, by the queues. I go here once a week and the food, service and quality can not be faulted. If you are visiting Laois anywhere it’s worth the spin to try the food, and the pastries.

Lovely bakery with lots of fresh bakes every day. I often make a special drive to visit. Id highly recommend

Lovely tasty sausage roll, followed by orange and almond croissant. The flavour combination of the croissant works very well, definitely one of the best pastries I’ve ever had, and well worth a try. Will be in again when I’m in the area.

Beautiful cafe with dine in and takeaway options, absolutely superb sausage roll with tomato relish and well priced!

Staff are always friendly. Chai latte and cinnamon bun was gorgeous. Always get the Guinness bread here too which is fab. A bit more on the expensive side but always worth it.

Visited today and honestly was underwhelmed by my experience. First of all, the staff are a little unwelcoming. Not the nicest energy coming from them (i understand working in the heat may be hard but i digress). The pastry selection was a little off today which is what we initially visited for so we settled for muffins instead which for the size, you can hardly class as a muffin! Quite expensive, although the coffee was nice. 60c for a pump of syrup is a little ridiculous. I wouldn't be pushed on coming back.

Had a fabulous rhubarb muffin and tea. Could do with more rhubarb but was very tasty.

Lovely pastries and coffee, good seating

Great variety of pastries to choose from. I tried the Pistachio Croissant, Mushroom Roll, and a Cappuccino, and everything tasted fresh and enjoyable. They also offer a good selection of toasties and breakfast options, making it a nice spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break. My only concern was the coffee pricing. The cappuccino was listed as a large (12 oz), but in Ireland, 12 oz is generally considered a regular size and is usually priced around €3.80–€4.20. At €4.60, I would expect a true large cappuccino (16 oz). While the quality was good, I felt the coffee was a bit overpriced for the size. Overall, a lovely café with plenty of tasty options, and I would still recommend giving it a try.
