Food is decent at best, but overpriced. The owner definitely does not belong in a customer facing role within the hospitality industry. He is always very rude and does not make customers feel welcome. Happy to take your money, but wants you gone as quickly as possible!

My brother-in-law and I Visited for the first time on Thursday 14th December 2023 - for Brunch. Gerard, the Owner/Manager, served us promptly! My French Toast and two Poached eggs were served quickly, along with Strawberries & blueberries and maple Syrup. It was excellent/appetising and attractively presented. The "Atmosphere" was friendly. William Henderson, Heat Chef said "hello" and asked if everything was ok! Prices were reasonable and the hygiene was excellent. Highly recommended!!

We stopped for lunch at Palomo today as the cafe we were originally going to was closed on Wednesdays. But we were glad of the change. The food was delicious. Family of 5 all very happy with the food we ordered and service was quick and with a smile. The kids particularly enjoyed their smoothies which were very refreshing. I would definitely return here. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Good spot, if a trifle expensive, pun intended! However, you get what you pay for. Fantastic staff, very attentive and knowledgeable and very witty also. The food was incredible, plentiful, hugely satisfying and there was no pressure to leave because they 'need the table.' Not for them the revolving door system in use in other places. Altogether much more than a lunch, more of an afternoons enjoyment among clever and funny friends. I will be back with a crowd! You should go too, leave it laughing...

We arrived at the cafe (not knowing it was closed and attempted to open the door and realised it was a few minutes before the opening time. The staff inside were at the counter, took a quick glance at us then ignored us and left us standing at the door. The least they could do was tell is when they were opening, very rude to potential customers. We will not be back.

Terrible experience. We went here today for my baby shower. My friends had brought cake for me. After eating lunch the kind waitress asked us if we wanted a knife and some plates for our cake of which we said yes. As we where cutting the cake the owner approached us and said I'm sorry but we are changing our policy not to allow anyone to bring cake into the cafe. He said if it isn't purchased from the cafe then it cant be ate but he did of course inform us that he had lots of pastries to choose from if we wanted to purchase something. I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. I most definitely will not be back. I didn't even want to give one star for this horrible experience. Such a rude man

The coffee is exactly how coffee should be, definitely the best in Lurgan. On the negative side tables & seats bit too close together for private conversation.

Came here for a Christmas party with work (9 of us attended) had to pre order via email. We were rang the morning of the event to be told they hadn’t received our order, yet they had responded to email?! They forgot 3 of the starters, and when we brought this to their attention, the menu had been changed. We then had to re-order our dessert on the night. At the end of the night, the bill presented to us was the original order from our email (which they had told us they hadn’t received) when brought to the waitresses attention, she went to both managers to discuss. It took at least 20 minutes for the issue to be resolved, was disgusted that both times the waitress came to our table to discuss the issue the managers did not come over. Horrible customer service, management did not seem to care whatsoever, received no apology for the shambles of our order, definitely would not be back and would not recommend to anyone.

I think the chef here must have an artistic streak about him because my burger was exquisitely designed. It was almost a shame to demolish and eat it. The chips likewise were delightful and above all hot. There is a traditional feel about this cafe/restaurant/bar but the food and drink were all of a good high standard. They stock a range of craft beers from Co. Fermanagh with which I was well impressed. They are definitely worth trying. We had good service from the waiting staff and everything was completed just as we ordered it. The only minor criticism I would have is that the tables were probably a little too close together so it was rather too easy to overhear conversations at the next table, but fortunately on the night visited we were able to move tables but it could be a challenge on a busy night. This is a great place to visit for something as basic as a coffee during the day, a proper meal or a quiet undisturbed beer at any other time. Good value as well.

This is a basic cafe with typical Northern Irish sandwiches, coffees, traybakes, etc., so nothing out of the ordinary. Staff are friendly and nice, place is clean and well decorated. 4 instead of 5 points as there is always a draft in it which makes it chilly and also there are no proper gluten free options. Other than that, all good!

Unfortunately our experience was not a good one. My inlaws had booked a meal for mine and my husbands 40th Birthday. The booking was made weeks in advance, when we arrived it was clear they hadn't a table reserved for us and we were seated 'out the back' in the function hall, which was cold, uninviting, clearly being redecorated and had 4 ladies doing a dance class. Our orders were taken quite quickly but we didn't recieve our meals until 50minutes after this! Even thought people arrived after us and recieved their food before us. We were asked if we would like to move up into main bar area as a table had become free,which we did. The young girl serving the drinks basically threw them on the table, to the point were drinks split. When our food eventually arrived it wasn't even hot, just warm. My annoyance is more for my elderly,retired inlaws who were treating us to this dinner and were so upset and disappointed with food quality and service. I will definitely not be booking here again for any future family meals nor will I be recommending!!
