Are O Connors bakery opening a coffee shop in Ennis?

That's what I heard today but my source wouldn't be the most realible.
I'd love if they did, I love their rolls.

sounds good, I'd go there. They are always so accommodating in the bakery. If they do open one, i wish them well.

They are after doing up their shop in Parnell St. and I noticed that the back is still blanked off, they might be putting something in there, I wouldn't think their other shops would have enough space for a sit down area, although they do make up rolls in all their shops.

I'm a massive fan of O'Connors, if I've ever visitors coming the fridge will be full of coffee slices & fresh cream doughnuts, their toffee cake is amazing, ooh and their chocolate ganache (sp.). I had their cake for my wedding and served it as the desert, it was beautiful, Mrs. Clareman is a big fan of their biscuit cake, better stop getting them or she'll become a bigger fan

Find their brown bread too salty.
But have no criticism whatsoever of their Maltesers Treats!

Yes they are (back of Parnell St shop).

I hope they do a nice filtered coffee like you get in N.Y and not the muck that passes as coffee. Havent bought a decent cup of coffee out, since I left N.y, Have to make it myself with starbuck's beans

Can't believe they are only getting around to this now........they have had a coffee shop in Gort for donkey's years

They hope to open by the end of this week - serving sandwiches, panini, etc. It looks quite small though.

I find most of the stuff in O'Connors pretty underwhelming. The other bakeries are far better.

Agree ... not a fan of them either.
An occasional coffee slice is OK but I'm not gone on the rest of their stuff

One down the end of Parnell St has pretty good bread. G's cafe do some of the best cake i've ever eaten.

Unglerts in Ennistymon is great too. Don't get out that direction very often sadly.
