Mocha Beans Ballina
Ballina
12/03/2025: Real and honest review as a returning customer. I have been here multiple times for sit in and takway. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, but the drinks are a hit or a miss.
Their staples are definitely hot chocolate and latte. They are smooth and consistently great.
Matcha is a very popular drink, when it comes to popular/new items, I feel like they’re overpriced. I tried their matcha (around €5 ish), and it was a letdown.
I ordered the strawberry-flavored one I think they used a syrup, and it stuck to the cup. Once I managed to mix it in, the syrup completely overpowered the matcha flavor that was alredy weak.
I also got an iced coffee, but it wasn’t cold enough. There was barely any ice, which made the drink lukewarm instead of refreshing.
For better quality Matcha and a reasonable price, I’d recommend trying other places around Ballina.
I understand rising costs, and with that in mind, I do still think some items shouldn't be sooooo expensive. I will not be a returning customer. 🙏
07/11/2024: Without a doubt the best coffee house in Ballina. The staff is both cafes are always very pleasant, and recommend something new to try if there’s a new menu. We are loyal customers to here for years and will continue to be. Can’t wait for the Christmas menu already

The Cot & Cobble
Ballina
02/03/2025: We visited here at the end of January for a family meal and though it was a regular place to visit for a meal we will NEVER return
It was busy enough so we were sat at a table in a part slightly off the main part
We ordered roast beef, fish, wings and carbonara
The beef was literally the worst I have ever had , there was 2 thick slices that were so hard to cut through and impossible to eat, the mash was barely warm
The fish smelled disgusting and absolutely not fresh, far from it
The wings werent hot and the carbonara was not good
Nobody che ked in with us to see how our meal was, I didn’t get a chance to say how bad the food was as when I went to pay the waitress was busy chatting
I messaged them on Facebook that evening as I felt the almost €90 we paid for the meal was a complete waste of money
What I assume was the manager replied to say she would look into it but never got back to me, I sent another 2 messages which were both ignored so that tells me just how little disregard is given for customers
22/02/2025: (Traducido por Google) Buen lugar para cenar.

The Junction
Ballina
15/02/2025: One of my favourite places to eat. Good food and atmosphere without being over-stated. Best to arrive a bit early as the line can go out the door and down the street during busy times, still it's well worth the wait to get a table at The Junction.
11/02/2025: My family and I had the most wonderful dining experience, excellent hospitality and good food

The Kitchen, Mount Falcon Estate

13/03/2025: I could not recommend this hotel enough. We went for a meal and stayed here after our small wedding ceremony. The staff were generous, attentive and kind.
In particular, Sergio, in the restaurant went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience.
Our room was fabulous, very clean and lovely amenities.
The breakfast was delicious and the serving staff were friendly and efficient.
We are already looking forward to our next stay.

Boho Barista
Ballina
22/03/2025: We didn’t try any food, but my husband and I absolutely loved both of our coffees! The cappuccino and caramel latte were so smooth and creamy! They have homemade caramel from a shop around the corner which to me levels up a latte since there isn’t any store bought flavoring in your drink! The staff were so sweet and so welcoming too!
07/12/2024: Excellent service every time, the quality is consistent with nice staff
