Reviews of The Wandering Elk
S. W.Melts were fantastic, worth the wait! I didn’t realise it would be so busy so I do recommend calling ahead and ordering for collection. coffee was good as well, I have to come back and try the cookies
J. R.My favourite treat is a melt from here, they are absolutely delicious, cookies are yummy too, best to pre order to avoid disappointment as they always sell out.
S. O. R.Pretty average, I quite like my coffee and found Square coffee shop on main street to be much better. Square have greater transparency on blends used and you can purchase them to make your own, they will if grind them for you to suit your home setup.
A. S.Visiting from half a world over and dropped by for a try. Excellent coffee and service. The food is a bit pricey but I found our snack was well worth it.
d. d.Great experience in the wandering elk. Staff so friendly and helpful. Such a choice of fab cookies and donuts. Cajun melt and avocado and bacon on toast is to die for! Love the decor and everything about this coffee shop. Definitely will be back.
D. F.Having visited this spot a few times since opening I find it incredible that some people have rated it lower than 5 stars. To the lady who said "staff are very young" what affect does this have on your bloody latte? I've found the staff very friendly and competent. Another lady seemed shocked that the rolling donuts came from the rolling donut company, sounds like a complaint for the sake of a complaint... This is a new business and as such will take some time to settle into a rhythm. We'll done to all involved and continued success...
A. O.Very friendly, helpful staff. Melts and donuts are delicious- freshly made to order and the sourdough bread just tops it for me and As a non donut fan these may have converted me. Coffee is also very much to my liking. Will be back
M. T.The food here is fab. So fresh and tasty and the choice is great. I have been working my way through the menu! Coffee is so good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I’m very happy to see that the cups and boxes are all fully compostable. A business with a conscience and serving up the freshest food. Well Done
B. C.Nicest coffee in town. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming👏
Y. D.You've got to check out Wandering Elk.
The staff are awesome.
You're gonna love the food.
Cookies that are out of this world!
Staff was really friendly and helpful.
They have a great selection of food!
It's the best coffee I've ever had
D. D.Fab sambos lovely coffee but order ahead at lunchtime as it's very busy
V.Love it love it. Waited few mins but its so popular in its opening weeks i didnt mind and it was worth the wait and probably the weight. Philly steak was exceptional coffee was great so i bought a bag of it. Staff are swamped but they kept up the quality and pretended to laugh at my bad jokes which is all I ask.
K. M.Wow, what a treat The Wandering Elk is! Staff are so friendly and helpful and the place is spotless! As for the food, my only problem is which donut to choose and if I should add a cookie to my order (I always inevitably do!) The sambos are unreal and so reasonably priced. It’s a pity they don’t open 7 days a week coz it’s a long wait from Monday to Thursday!! Queues speak for themselves, but they move fast and they’re 100% worth the wait!
A. G.For all the hype of this place, I was not impressed. Basically just an average coffee shop.
I was very disappointed to see the donuts are imported from 'the rolling donut' and not your own.
Its under staffed. I was waiting 15 mins for a latte.
When I asked why I was waiting that long, the girl was rude to me. All very young staff.
I dont think I'd come back here.
R. M.The Wandering Elk is such a treat! Definitely worth the wait and the queues move really fast! The staff were absolutely lovely and some of the most hard working women around! Best melted sambo I've had. Thrilled it has come to the town!
B. D.Absolutely delicious literally melt in your mouth grilled melts followed by a choice of tasty donuts or scrumptious cookies. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, well done guys 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Already looking forward to my next visit 😋
M. C.Unreal ham & cheese toasty, reasonably priced for what I got. Definitely a great place for lunch.
I. N.Lovely coffee and hot chocolate. Have not tried the food yet. Good staff service. Queue was ok as it was expected with a new opening in town. Will head back and try something else
D. R.It’s great to see a new buisness in the town thriving. Always get in for a coffee early because it’s the best in town. Service is excellent considering how busy they have been. Keep up the great work. Great to see the people of Laois supporting their own.
D. H.Best sandwich this side of the Mississippi😋
Served up by lovely staff 👌

C. R.Coffee is top class, even happily catering for an alternative dairy drinker like myself with numerous options!Staff were extremely friendly and professional given how busy it was while I was there!Then to top it all off the avocado and bacon on sourdough breakfast and the Cajun Melt for lunch , absolutely sensational 👌👌
M. M.Lovely cafe. Clean and bright. Staff very friendly and great service. Coffee and the donuts are fab.
S. B.The coffee is lovely and I'm fussy with my coffee orders so that's saying something, the sandwiches were fresh and really tasty. I know where my new coffee shop is anyway
