Café Lounge - Carrick-on-Shannon

23/09/2026

Tea is a much bigger world than black or green.

We picked four very different loose-leaf teas to show just how much variety there is: Earl Grey Blue Flower, Sencha Ginger Lemon, Chamomile and Pear & Goji.

Different leaves, flowers, fruit and botanicals. Different colours in the cup. Different ways to find your favourite.

We have plenty more on the shelf too.

Loose leaf by the pot, or to take home.

Which one would you choose?

Coffee sorted. Now where are you going?

A walk by the Shannon, back to work, or straight on the road?

Same Artessa coffee we serve inside, roasted just across town - only this one is coming with you.

You’ve got your coffee.
You’re allowed one thing from the counter.
What are you choosing?

Plain croissant?
Almond croissant?
Pain au chocolat?
Scone?
Cookie?

No “one of each” allowed.

By the time the first coffee lands on a table, quite a bit has already happened.

Machine on. Espresso tested.
Scones out of the oven.
Cakes ready for the fridge.

Then the first cappuccino, the first espresso, a magazine opened…

Morning has officially started at Café Lounge.

Your turn when you’re ready.

First school day done. Everyone made it home.

Bags collected. Stories coming back. Lunchboxes returning in various states of emptiness.

Today’s report:
Children - delivered and collected.
Uniforms - survived.
Parents - slowly remembering how the school-run routine works.

A half-finished coffee, half a croissant and a few quiet minutes later, September feels properly underway.
