The Irish Cheese sandwich toasted up on fresh sourdough bread infused with sun-dried tomatoes … fantastic! Great coffee, cheerful staff, lovely owner, all sorts of specialty food to buy. This is a terrific little shop. We went for coffee and lunch, but it looks like the downstairs is set up for some music in the evenings. A great little spot in a great little town…

Best coffee we have had so far in Ireland. This includes our time in Dublin and Galway among other places. The lattes were incredible.
We also ordered a couple of danishes. The cheese, or savory variety are also top-notch. With cheese in the business name it is no surprise. They do this very well.
As for desserts, we tried the carrot cake, which of course has cream cheese frosting. Amazing.
The owners here really know what they’re doing. It’s a non-descript place, very unassuming, but those are usually the best.

Oh, The Cheese Press!! My beloved cafe. Someone wanted to go in here & I thought, the cheese press? It’s just a cheese shop. Oh no… it was the best cafe in Ireland & what made me fall in love with Ennistymon! We came here several times during our trip. We dined in, take away, & shopped at this cafe! I’ll dream of this cafe

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this shop for lunch! Don’t miss the cheese toastie…it’s not your ordinary grilled cheese. I was super impressed with their gluten free bread as it was very hearty and not cardboard-like at all, which sometimes GF bread can be. The carrot cake was also delicious!

Nice little place with very good coffee. The cheese toastie and pies were ok. Not bad but not great either. The cheese toastie wasn't cheesy enough and was overpowered by the other ingredients but each to there own.
