The Farmhouse Café & Bakery is open Monday to Friday serving up a stellar selection of breakfast and lunch items that are a lovely mix of much-loved classics along with some tasty signature dishes that have captured the attention of their devoted regulars and passers-by.

 

Farmhouse Café is rooted (pardon the pun) in a wholesome and quality food experience that places home bakes and even homegrown produce at the very heart of what they do.

 

A gem in the operation at Farmhouse Café is the Market Garden that owner Susan O’Sullivan cultivates herself from her family farm in Co. Kildare. Here Susan has a wonderful selection of gardens and tunnels that are teeming with fresh fruits and veggies that are carefully cultivated and harvested at the exact time of optimum taste and nutrition.

 

You’ll first get your glimpse of this enticing concept with a sip of the delicious fresh daily juice that’s produced using ingredients from chard, spinach, cucumber, apple, ginger and everything in between. The juice gives you that much-needed boost to tackle the day ahead!

 

Early risers are much looked after with a tasty range of breakfast meals including a nourishing steeped oats pot flavoured with fresh fruits and seasonings. There’s no sign of the ordinary run of the mill porridge here! Another popular brunch dish on the menu is the satisfying Farmhouse Brunch Bowl and Green Eggs which is full of flavour.

 

A lovely twist in the breakfast menu is that each dish is served with freshly baked sourdough bread or brown bread right out of the oven. Who could say no to that?

 

At lunchtime, the menu features fresh homemade soup that is all dependent on what is delivered from the garden that day. The day we visited The Farmhouse Café the chef was simmering his fresh homemade stock on the old Aga for the daily soup special. This highlights the continuing theme throughout this cafe, from bread to hot dishes, everything is made from scratch and customers are guaranteed that irresistible homemade food experience.

 

Another recommendation for when you’re visiting the Farmhouse Café is the piping hot herb hotpot that is full of delicious flavours. Customers can choose from a vegetarian option or they can add fresh baked Irish ham or Irish roast chicken.

 

Doorstep sandwiches are taken to the next level at Farmhouse Café and are a hallmark for the cafe’s food offering. Thick slices of bread produced from the bakery on site are combined with fresh meats much of which comes from Susan’s family farm. A range of fresh salads and other tasty accompaniments can be made to order for your sambo resulting in a hearty lunchtime treat!

 

The day we paid a visit we were lucky to try their homemade soup and the Farmhouse Brunch Bowl. The roasted red pepper and tomatoes topped with two organic eggs were to die for and of course, served up with fresh sourdough bread.

 

If you’re looking for something sweet, you’ll also have a choice of yummy bakes that go perfectly with a fresh cup of coffee. From crumbly scones to cinnamon buns to cookies and more you’ll savour every bite of your morning or afternoon treat.

 

Service at The Farmhouse Café is operated on a takeaway basis or as a dine-out option. There is a covered outdoor dining area provided to the front of the Café.

Sustainability

Sustainable practices are weaved within the day to day operations at Farmhouse Café & Bakery. Fresh produce is sourced from their market garden and this is utilised each day on the menus.

 

Furthermore, their on-site bakery supplies a vast amount of products used on the menu, reducing down deliveries and food miles which all contributes to the reduction of their carbon footprint.

 

On the farm, they continue to work towards gaining organic certification which includes working on procedures that are more homogenous in the farming of the land.

 

Also, beehives and pollinator plants have been planted to encourage local biodiversity. You’ll also find plenty of natural hedgerows that go hand in hand with the gardens and tunnels also located on-site.
