Owner makes the absolute best cappuccino. it’s strong,hot and the foam doesn’t overpower the coffee taste. I try my best to get a cup on my way to work and even though I’m too early the owner makes my order anyways. Best cafe in Sligo, you should definitely pop in.

I’ve been back from my Ireland trip for almost two months and I am STILL talking about how amazing the scone I had here was. Absolutely delicious.

Lovely cafe interior with seating or takeaway. There for breakfast which was all fine (muffin, egg/meat bagel, cappuccinos) but nothing was spectacular. Will go back for lunch one day as the lunch sandwiches and soup sounded good. The owner seemed a bit unfriendly to us and other customers as we listened and we’re not sure why. It was steady but not so crazy busy to (maybe, not really) excuse the gruffness, IMO. It’s hard to want to come back feeling so unwelcome.

Cafe Victor is a great little spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere. I spent around €16 on a latte and a delicious homemade quiche, both of which were fresh and full of flavour. The place has a cozy, relaxed vibe, making it perfect for a leisurely coffee break or light lunch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, providing attentive service without being overbearing. Overall, a nice café to unwind and enjoy good food in a comfortable setting.
