Canteen in Limerick

Great spot with quality food and delicious baking snacks.

Great coffee!

I think this Restaurant is a bit pricey. And the food have very small portions.The Manageress asked a elderly Lady and a middle aged woman and child to go back out in the Torrentual Rain as she would not allow them to shelter out of the very heavy down pour of rain if they were not customers? I have travelled around the world, and never seen any thing so unfriendly and down right rude. If I could give this Restaurant a minus 5. I would.. I take no pleasure in high lighting this bad review. But with a lot of compliments on here, I had a very, very bad experience in this Restaurant.Tony Hannan

Overpriced , Portion are small for the price especially for the veg option, was nice but was a little blandCoffee and desert on the other hand are amazing

Friendly, spacious cafe. All produce home made, and delicious. One might want to be mindful if partaking of the sumptuous pastries, as Irish butter is unsparingly used in their creation. Yum yum

Our breakfast was beautiful and there was no hassle about mixing it up. My daughter wanted a bacon sandwich which wasn’t on the menu but was no problem .If I had one small negative it was how the outside wooden floor was covered in cigarette butts and didn’t appear to be cleaned that morning.Great breakfast and lovely staff . Will definitely go back

I had a lovely vegan porridge with fruits and a delicious coffee. There were a lot of vegan options on the menu so a perfect breakfast and brunch spot for vegetarians and vegans. The café itself is so lovely as well and the staff and the outdoor seating was fab too. Definitely recommend a 100%.

Whenever Im meeting friends for brunch on a Sunday and I dont know where to go, this is 100% my default. Definitely try the Vietnamese coffee in this hot weather if you like a touch of sweetness. They also make their own sourdough, so definitely ask when youre there. Really reasonable on price with consistent quality on food and coffee.

Lovely food, happy inviting atmosphere, great staff

Great food. Fish Taco Thursday amazing Cool vibe. Little pricey.

Ordered a Too Good to Go bag from here and it was filled with cinnamon goodies. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly! Can’t beat a Sausage & Bacon sandwich from here!

Excellent breakfast / brunch spot. Top quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Orange juice was a little pricey.

Staff are delightful. Food is excellent. Freshly made bread is delicious. Deserts are unreal! Beautiful looking chefs in the back.

Super food and friendly staff. Great & varied selection on the menu.A culinary gem in Limerick. A must go food venue.

Great coffee, simple food, cooked and served to perfection Lovely staff and atmosphere. Ill be back.

Great coffee, food is also excellent. Worth a visit. Staff also very friendly.

First in Limerick to offer decent coffee, and standards in food always high.

Canteen is a great place to have a bite to eat.. staff are very friendly and the food is really good.. cant recommend their irish breakfast highly enough

Best Irish breakfast I’ve had in Limerick.Partner and I have been on three occasions on back to back weekends for the Irish breakfast. Chef accommodated my request to scramble eggs instead of poached. Highly recommend. Food is very slightly on the pricier side but prefer that remains and they continue to use high quality ingredients. Staff friendly and menu has good vegetarian and vegan options.

Lovely coffee. Didnt love the halloumi wrap, probably just personal preference but I would have liked for the halloumi to be more well done.Friendly and helpful staff.

Love the brunch menu.Had the breakfast tacos which were very tasty.Lovely staff and coffee.

Sorry. The people working here seemed very nice, pleasant and obliging. Due to current circumstances we sat out side, this was a nice enough bench. Inside the restaurant seemed artisan and interesting.We ordered lunch. 1 cheese toasties from the kids menu. 1 ham and cheese toastie and chicken and cheese toastie. 1 cappuccino and a tea. Unfortunately the cheese in the toasties was processed lumpy, plastic tasting yuk. The chicken seemed to be re heated and the ham stringy. Cappuccino was luke warm and the tea watery..Sorry guys my experience, will determine that I will not return.Please match the look and people and take more care on what you serve.

Food is excellent but make a hugh drama out of the covid restrictions, we know what we have to do so we dont need to be reminded every second.

Staff are always very friendly here. Coffee is nice, they have a selection of roasts, which is cool. Food is nice too, maybe a tiny bit pricey but its nice for a treat. Its unfortunate since a few places fall victim to this, but I think the overall experience is more suited for eating in. Looking forward to that day post lockdown. I feel like a 5 stars is due then and youll get more value for money.

Very slow. And warm coffee.. Not hot more in between cold and warm... Would be better to go across the road to gleeson spar for a hot coffee.. And hang the price

Standards have dropped in this establishment. Staff are extremely unwelcoming, food/coffee isnt what it to be. Such a shame. Wont be back. Found a fab spot down the road called Esquire and staff were so helpful and welcoming.

Grand..ok..the chairs at Mickey Death (golden arches vs. trade unionists in the tofubeefrain-de-forestationare better..but then oh mine the foooood!..and a lovely setting..adorable staff..small to fat tenner for grub..cant wait to hit their diner menu..and its in Limerick..yes!

Gorgeous coffee in a cool, modern cafe in Limerick city. I have only gotten take away coffee and appreciate that there is a separate entrance for dine in and take away customers. Looking forward to going back to sit in knowing Ill feel comfortable that COVID precautions and social distancing is being taken seriously

Was served Luke warm coffee in a cup with a chip on the rim

Staff were lovely but portions are small, chips had to be sent back as they were some that were stone cold mixed in with others half- or fully heated. Not great value for money. Seems to be popular though.

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. Canteen always has something delicious to brighten up anyones day.If youre a Limerick local or just passing through Canteen is a must for the discerning (and hungrycustomer.

Did not enjoy eating out of a cardboard box. Thats fine if its a takeout but not eat in. Meatballs good but needed seasoning. Staff friendly and good service. Nice coffee and cakes.

Lovely coffee treats and staff

Class spot for light lunch to have in or take away. Lost a star because it hasnt kept up its brilliant cleanliness since earlier visits..

Perfect cappacino with a great bacon and sausage rye bread sandwich.

Really like the coffee here and the food is yum too. For a long time I was meaning to ask if you would look at doing proper cutlery and cups etc. As I thought it would better for the environment... meanwhile you guys have gone and done that already. How fantastic! Well done! Would highly recommend this cafe

Using 3FE coffee which I find is bitter and over roasted, nice funky hipster decor and vibe but this kind of coffee is not for me. Food looks great although it’s very expensive but it’s probably worth it

The name threw me a bit, as in "Canteen" so expectations were not much, but the blonde wanted to try it! Presently surprised, nice fresh food, and good coffee.

Love the food. Simple menu great staff. Vegetarian and meat options always tasty ,interesting and great price. wWeekday fish, chicken. Halumi wraps or lunch box with rice or Cuouscous .Great fresh roast Coffee and quality tea options available. Coffee can be on cool side.New menu choices such as all day brunch Saturday and sunday.

Walked in and very quiet with 3 customers for t/a coffees and one sitting customer plus myself. Paid and sat down to wait for my order. I asked if I they can heat the lemon cake I ordered. Staff went straight to chef to ask if its possible to heat it up . Next thing chef looked out and checked which customer requested and as soon as he saw an Asian customer he told staff sorry we have no microwave and it will take 10 minutes to heat up the cake. But what he didnt know I worked in the kitchen so I know how long it will take to heat it up using oven. Adding insult to injury, the coffee I ordered was cold. I worked in cafes over 10 years .this is not the kind of service one should expect. On quiet times the more we should be looking after customers irregardless of creed colour or stature in life.

Tasty small menu. Brunch only sat and Sunday. Caters for vegetarian also. Fish Falafal and chicken wraps or tasty lunch box with rice . Superb coffee and muffins are good too.

Great coffee and food, but bring your own cup if you remember, for a 20c discount. All their cups etc are compostable, but better to bring your own.

Fantastic coffee! Great menu.

Lovely clean restaurant, good menu friendly staff. Food freshly cooked. Impressive first visit. I will be returning!

Cool interior but food was a little under whelming. I had a wrap with chicken and there was way too much sweet chili sauce. Will try and again but maybe breakfast next time. Staff friendly.

Simple menu, heaps of veg and vegan options. Coffee is so good and the staff are super friendly.In my opinion this is the best cafe in limerick by far!

Small temporary location. Nice and trendy has a good vibe.Meals are mostly tasty saladsand the best coffee + muffins.

Would highly recommend if youre looking for a decent mild and creamy cappuccino in Limerick city. Halloumi wrap is delightful. Staff are very friendly.

Lovely coffee and wide variety of interesting food. Great for vegans and vegetarians alike. Friendly service too.

Best coffee in Limerick. Im only disappointed it came in a take away cup. Always packed, expect to share a table. Ill be back again.
