Sásta By The River Maynooth in Maynooth

Avoid during peak times but everything was lovely .

Best place for brunch/lunch in Maynooth & Celbridge area. The variety of the menu, the portion size and the variety within the dish are all fantastic! Great for the adventurous eater as they have things like Ube Latte (and pancakes) and Butterfly Pea Latte - check out the interesting menus on their website. The variety of coffees, superior lattes, cold brews and the amount of homemade juices is impressive. It's a big place and they're always accommodating. They have 1 big table for 8, and the rest are 4pax and 2pax tables. So many compliments, I have to throw in one downside to balance it out: when we came in today they were playing obnoxious dance music, which they agreed to turn down, but dance music is not cafe music. We shouldn't be eating to beat.

Had lunch today in Sasta - hidden gem in Maynooth! Great food, customer service and great value ! Loved it 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Good place for a coffee or lunch

Sásta is always a favorite. I love the vibrant, hip atmosphere with its abundance of plants and rustic furniture. The food is consistently great, especially the burger on the menu. At €18, it’s on the pricier side, but definitely worth it. They elevate the classic burger with a garlic mayo and onion chutney, and the chips are perfectly crispy. It’s a generous portion and full of flavor. I’ve never been to a place that offers such a wide variety of coffee options. Each time I visit, I try something new. Today, my mother had the Ube latté, which was both visually appealing and delicious. If I had to mention one downside, it would be the noise level, which can get quite loud—though it’s understandable given that it was lunchtime on a Saturday. I also love the sweet touch of the kids' pictures in the waiting area.

The pancakes were other worldly. Matcha and sweet potato fries were ok. Staff were really friendly got a seat right away. Would visit again.

Great place, lovely food, nice staff and buggy friendly ☺️

We had such a lovely lunch and a 10/10 experience at Sásta in Maynooth this afternoon. Our meals and drinks were absolutely delicious and the service was very quick. Special mention for our waiter Amedeo, who was so helpful and made our dining experience relaxed and enjoyable. Will be returning soon!!

Really nice food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I had the pancakes, bacon and maple syrup. The pancakes were so fluffy 😍

Had the Sasta Benny, their take on Eggs Florentine. Came with perfectly poached eggs and a delicious beetroot-infused hollandaise sauce. I added some smoked salmon which accompanied it really well. A very tasty dish and would highly recommend. Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was relaxed and cosy. A great lunch option if you’re in Maynooth.
