Absolutely beautiful food and coffee. €7 for a coffee AND a fresh focaccia sandwich stuffed with meats, mozzarella, roasted tomatoes and pesto is a total bargain. Best lunch in the Midlands. Can’t recommend highly enough.

A Delightful Experience with Italian Coffee and Waffles
I recently stumbled upon a charming food truck in Ireland, and it was an absolute gem! Their Italian coffee is simply divine—it instantly transported me to a sunny piazza in Italy with every sip. The waffles were equally impressive: golden, crisp, and paired perfectly with a variety of delicious toppings.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast or just looking for a sweet treat, this spot is a must-visit. It’s not just a meal, it’s a little Italian escape on wheels. Highly recommended!
