H. E.

We looked for a nice place to eat breakfast this morning and found Lyons café. It was awesome, all drinks and meals were incredibly tasty. I had the best quiche I have ever eaten, and the salads were so good that I had to take a salad box home with me. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend!

M. A.

Lovely place. They have a good selection of food and desserts to pick from and the food was excellent. It was a good change of pace from the everyday fast food I tend to eat when I'm out. The chicken is halal for anyone wondering. The staff is friendly. Top notch place for brunch with the family on weekends.

C. S.

VEGAN options! And it's not just availability, it's a taste too! Great place for for delicious food, really cool interior with a nice view. Very nice and accomodating staff. Cannot recommend high enough 😁

G.

Lovely spot food was delicious and brought out quickly. The service was a bit confusing with the new covid guidelines drinks and food are ordered separately and paid for together.

A. K.

I had a lovely veggie breakfast here this morning. It's so appreciated when the chef tries to make a vegetarian option special and a little bit more interesting! The lentil rissole with the pesto... Yum yum! Lovely staff and great atmosphere.

M. L. B.

Glad I found this quaint little place. Great place to visit for a quick lunch. Very quaint. Great food. You can buy a cookbook published by the Chef. Offers filtered coffee as well as brewed coffee. Has great brownies!

F. M.

Gorgeous cafe. Delicious food served, with friendly helpful staff.

G. C.

Brilliant breakfast, great staff, wonderful cakes and buns. Well worth a visit.

C. M.

Breakfast was Excellent I Would Fully Recommend Lyons Cafe for Breakfast and Tea Taste Good too I'll Return Here for Sure at Some Stage in Future

A. T.

Maybe a bit pricey, but the food is just excellent and worth every cent. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is unique. The Cafe is located above the clothing store with the same name. Ordering is mensa style, at a counter with several food items. They have very tasty salads and sandwiches, and for lunch (beginning at 12:30) they have a choice of three different meals. At our visit this was beef stroganoff, chicken, and meatballs with linguini. All in all a very good spot to eat, which seems to be visited mostly by the locals and not very many tourists.

If you are visiting Sligo, you must visit Lyons Cafe. Food is just so good for your soul!

S.

I really like Lyons. I went for breakfast and chose a bacon, cheese and egg sourdough toastie which was really nice and my friend had french toast. Both were good sized portions and tasted really nice. Definitely recommend.

D. D.

J. M.

Had the veggie breakfast here, it was superb. The hash and the lentil thing were fantastic in particular. Lively place on a Saturday morning but still easy to get a seat, service was excellent

L. R.

Cozy place, the girl who served me was really kind and made me feel very comfortable. Great and tasty food, highly recommended for lunch due to a perfect quality/price ratio. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

A. S.

Coffee was ok but nothing special. Cheese cake tasted just wrong (like it was off) and wasn’t fresh unfortunately. Staff is friendly.

A. S.

Tasty homemade dishes and the best coffee 👌 all of the staff are so friendly and outgoing Spotless clean cafe and plenty of seating areas. It seems to be a very popular place for lunch dinner and desserts. My daughter and I had pumpkin soup there last week it was sooooo nice 👌 Everytime I go there I enjoy what I order and I am never disappointed .

D. C.

Had the full Irish Breakfast in this lovely busy café. Food was delicious. Really good quality even down to the toast. Excellent friendly service and great value. Easy to see why it was packed. Highly recommend

P. F.

Lovely cafe. Me and my boyfriend on our way to giants causeway stopped in Sligo for breakfast and just found this place by chance. Delicious breakfast, nicest scrambled eggs and toast ever! Would highly recommend. :)

j. c.

K. W.

Amazing little find! Huge selection of food and very helpful friendly staff

T. B.

Clean,friendly staff above all great food

K. F.

A local recommended this place to us and I am so glad she did. It was a bit tricky to find, above the Lyon department store. We had a large group. We all ordered different items and everything was delicious. We especially loved the rhubarb crumble. The service was great and the food was delicious. The local woman told us to park under the glass house hotel. It made parking really simple.

t. k.

Good location in town centre. Staff helpful and courteous. Food good at reasonable prices. Menu located high over the serving counter was difficult to read especially when in a queue for the buffet. Tables and chairs were basic. Best to go in an off peak period time. Closes about 6pm.

D. &. A. E.

Great food and experience. Very reasonable prices. Fantastic friendly staff. A must call to if you are in Sligo

K. T.

Fabulous food in a charming atmosphere. Get there early as it can be very busy. Recommended: pulled pork brioche, Lebanese chicken. Grab a table by the window if you can. Not to be missed.

R. E.

Lyons Coffee house is a visitation to the past with a modern twist. We were recommended by a member of staff from a local pub called The Swagman. The interior harks back to 50's and the staff are attentive and friendly. The menu is extensive and the food is of a very high standard and will not leave you feeling wanting and the prices very reasonable. It has to be very good as on the 2 occasions that we visited it was teeming with locals. When you have had your coffee etc you can pop into its attached Lyons Shop which has a male and female clothing area, and on the 1st Floor everything for the bedroom. Situated within walking distance of Sligo City centre and other places. A great place to while a away time over coffee. Another added attraction is it's takeaway or sit in cake shop on the ground floor.

J. C.

First rate bakery! At the street level is the take out but a few steps down the street then up a flight is the airy and well lit cafe for a relaxing way to begin the day. Select your pastries and find a open table.

T. M.

Great home cooked food in a relaxing atomosphere. The artisan bakery onsiteis out of this work, cob bread and a French patisserie with delicious treats to take home. Staff are so helpful and kind.

L. S.

Such a lovely place to eat in Sligo it's like no other there is a great selection of food something to suit everyone! My favourite is the hash brown that comes with the breakfast. You get a coffee refill, what more could you ask for

G. L.

Really busy, well located, superb café, serving excellent breakfast and lunch with a varied and interesting menu. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly, efficient, staff overseen by ever present and pleasant,owner and chef Gary.

G. S.

Been there for a breakfast. The food is good and not overpriced. The staff is nice. If you're staying in an hotel nearby, don't take your breakfast in the hotel but there instead: it'll cost less and be better

S. M.

Friendly staff and delicious breakfast

J.

Had been advised to go here by a few locals for 12.30 as it gets busy after that. Fantastic food, salads to die for, desserts yummmmmmy.... staff were really attentive and friendly. Highly recommend it

J. S.

Fantastic authentic cafe in the heart of sligo. Delicious food with plenty of choice. Friendly and accommodating staff. A favourite of locals and visitors alike.

J. C.

Great food. Great staff.

D. C. (.

Seems to be a secret place, downstairs bakery bar does not give a clue to the place upstairs where I had the most delicious pulled pork lunch I've ever had. Perfect pit stop for my trip back to Dublin

T. J. K. (.

Went for coffee here this morning. Lyons cafe is situated on the top floor of the Henry Lyons department store. Its ye olde world. I think the place has operated as a department store business on the current site for over 150 years. The coffee shop on the top floor captures much of that. High ceilings, drop down lights, wooden floors, old style furniture. The atmosphere in the background is of that of an old coffee house with background music dominated by the sounds of the coffee machine and food service (maybe it was where I was sitting but I think it added to the experience). The place feels very current though. The service area seemed exceptionally clean, the menu is modern. There were cakes and scones that looked the business on my way up to order. My order for coffee was taken at the till and it was dropped down to me promptly which was nice rather than waiting around. There were papers on the benches to read. I found it a cool place to chill with a coffee reading the morning paper. One drawback for me, though was the coffee itself, although the blend was nice - I found the milk to be a bit too hot (having worked as a barista overseas where the trend is towards a lower temperature milk). Summary: Great place to go for morning coffee or lunch. Think it captures the best of that area of the town very well. Traditional is in roots, yet modern and progressive in its delivery.

J. L.

Great place to meet up and/or enjoy a meal or snack with someone or on your own. Polite and friendly staff dealing well with the current restrictions.

K. D.

Food was top class, staff well trained and there was a handy foot pull in bathrooms saved touching that manky door handle!

S. H.

Delicious food with lots of variety. Sample seating and convenient location above shopping center. It does get busy and can be overwhelming to decide what to order while standing in que. Consider browsing before committing to the que.

M. K.

Top Class breakfast and excellent service. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Very popular with the locals. Mike Kelly. Birmingham B14.

Love the Eastern flavours / contemporary twists to the delicious breakfasts / lunches / salads. Relaxing vibe. The bakery / Patisserie is a feast for the senses.
