Reviews of Mueller and O'Connell Bakery

J. H.

Was passing through Abbeyleix and stopped by for some takeaway toasted sandwiches and coffee. Excellent and really friendly staff. Will buy more of their produce to take home next time.

f. a.

Freshly baked cardamom buns and sausage rolls are brilliant here so is the coffee. Love the selection of bread on display. Definitely seems to be a favorite with locals. Also worth mention is the covid protocols in place. Safe distancing nd min or safe handling of food and cash was a pleasure to note.. Few seats available both in and out. Discovered the place while passing by but definitely would return. Will

K. P.

Absolutely love this bakery! Everything I've ever gotten from them has been perfection.

We were passing by Abbeyleix and we saw a bakery and decided to stop. It was the end of the day and we were lucky that there were a few items which we could take home. We tried the sourdough and the raisin and walnut sourdough - both amazing. But THE most amazing of all the things we tried were the cardamom knot buns. If I lived in Abbeyleix I would be queueing for these every day. We will be back...

MnCs offer high quality products that won't break the bank :D It's great to see a quality bakery open in Abbeyleix. A return to times gone past when Irish towns had a local bakery. We rarely by mass produced bread these days because the quality compare to MnCs does not begin to compare. And their selection of sweets is second to none. My fave creations at the moment are the Tea Soaked Sultana and Multi Seed bread, the Pear and Almond tart. The coffee is also top quality and always keeps me coming back. Other business should take note of this coffee quality. Bad quality coffee is just not accepted these days. So fair play to the MnCs barista's. But MnCs staff really do offer top friendly customer facing service and always have a smile on their face and always willing to have a chat with their customers. This takes them to the next level in my opinion as a valued local business in Abbeyleix.

How did we ever manage before the bakery? Fabulous bread & treats & savouries baked on site. Lovely coffees to take away. Great staff, happy place to shop. They also stock other local products which is wonderful. My favourite treat at moment is cardamom knot, have to get there early.

J. M.

Fabulous as usual. Got the large sourdoughs this time to share with the family. Scrumptious peach, walnut tarts. Mmmm Was convinced to get a americano. Glad I did ! Hit the spot. Thank you.

S. W.

Delicious coffee, scones, croissants and baked goods

D. W.

Top notch bakery with flat white coffee at a big city standard.

J. M.

Excellent breads, cakes and coffee.

C. S.

Very friendly staff, the service was fast. Food was delicious and oh so tasty. You could tell it was all natural ingredients used. I had a sausage roll which was so yummy and with the side of homemade coleslaw and relish really set it off. Thumbs up from me. 9 out of 10

S. O.

Excellent bread and coffee at a great price

R. G.

Loved it.. great coffee and a selection of tempting baked goods to go alongside. I picked a mini brioche filled with lemon curd and topped with white chocolate. It was perfection... Excellent sourdough bread on sale as well

P. D.

Great coffee and awesome bread/pastries, etc.

R. M.

Great addition to the town, quality fresh baked breads, coffees and pastries. Sourdough was one of the nicest I've tried.

R. M.

Really attractive little bakery here. Frozen breads available here at good prices. Individual single pastries seemed a bit expensive but really nice presentation.

A. Y.

I love their sour bread! 5 starts every Time 🤩

L. C.

Received a gorgeous present of a box of fabulous bread from my very thoughtful sister in law today. It's divine! I've just placed my first order as a present for someone else. Well done guys, very enterprising idea and absolutely delicious!

M. D.

Nice and chilled bakery with fantastic baked goods. Look out for their stall in the Tullamore market too.

B. O.

I can only speak about the Mocha Swirls, but they were absolutely delicious.

S. W.

Delighted with the sourdough …. It’s hit and miss with such bread but a bit hit with me….

K. M.

Best coffee for miles but I can't recommend enough the 'unlimited toast' offer at €2.80 a person. Beautiful craft baked fresh bread you can help yourself too. All on the floor of an old AIB bank. A great choice if in Abveyleix.

N. F.

Super selection of breads, Best Sourdough in the country, fantastic selection of finger licking pastries, and great coffee friendly and helpful staff,

D. T.

We stopped here (quite by chance) on our first day in Ireland and had the best ham and cheese sandwiches EVER. Months later we're still talking about this wonderful cafe with its delicious food and lovely staff. Everything about our visit was perfect for weary travellers (including chatting with friendly locals). Highly recommended!

M. C.

You can smell the fresh bread on the way into this bakery. The coffee is excellent and we also bought some snacks for our day such as scones and muffins which were all very good. Biggest problem is that it is not open everyday and the hours are limited but when open it is a good place to stop at.

R. T.

Wonderful place to visit. Fantastic sour dough bread! Their coffee is the best and the quality of patisserie exceptional. Thanks Mueller and O'Connor

G. S.

Brilliant bakery with excellent choice of bread

d. m.

Great coffee & cinnamon swirls!

F. K.

Great place to stop and enjoy great bakery, pastries and coffee / tea. Good value for really tasty foods. Superb roadstop cafe.

R. G.

Stopped in for a loaf of bread but stayed for a coffee and a toastie as the place had real character. Toastie, on their own sourdough and local ham & cheese, was really delicious. Coffee however was mediocre and service slow. Although with only 2 people working and the place full I would cut them some slack on the latter. Would visit again on the strength of the toastie

R. P.

Fab coffee, the best scones I've ever tasted and the staff are wonderful. Would highly recommend for a quick stop, a take away coffee or a leisurely lunch.

m. o. d.

excellent perfect spot to stop for coffee + treats

A. H. M.

E. B.

Loved it. My mother especially loved the loose leaf tea and the toasted sandwich. Honest to goodness food with no pretentiousness... Superb sourdough... The ladies working there were terrific.

L. D.

I know its mainly a bakery, but there is definite scope to expand with sandwiches etc, the spelt bread was delicious! Coffee was also very good and the air conditioning was a blessing-during the heatwave

Coffee great. Good service.
