Petty Sessions - Armagh

It was pouring rain on a Monday morning when we arrived here In Poyntzpass on a recommendation. We didn’t know this independent place existed. This is a small village about 8 miles from Newry and this cafe is almost adjacent to the old canal towpath, which is part of the Ulster Way so hikers, bikers and walkers are a mainstay of their business. Like many places they currently offer the current government eat out to help out deal that ends at the end of August 2020. It’s about the only popular thing this lousy government has done in its first year in power. So we sat in and it was really cosy and homely. We were captivated by the sophisticated and shiny coffee machine apparently it was only installed yesterday. The owner explained the inner workings of this contraption and I was impressed with the technology behind our coffee. We ordered large cappuccinos, one toasted chicken pineapple toastie with side salad and one poached eggs (2) with avocado mash on sourdough with chilli flakes. All in all £8.5 for two. The service was ace and it’s really worth a visit or several.

Lovely little cafe in Poyntzpass. Nice coffee, wife said the tea was good and there was a nice selection of cakes and tray bakes with even some ones which my lactose intolerant wife could have. All in all, great little place for a coffee and bake.

Stopped here for late lunch an service was excellent. My mum fancied french toast with fruit off the breakfast menu and it was no problem. It was delicious I had panini which again was scrumptious. Would definitely recommend this coffee shop for beautiful homemade food

Recommended this cafe by a fellow cyclist on the newly canal. Wonderful homemade scone (fudge and banana! and nice coffee. Relaxed friendly atmosphere, will definitely return.

A busy lunchtime service. Obviously lots of local trade and cyclists stopping off for lunch. We had the beef Irish stew and it didn't disappoint. A large pot of tea. The staff were lovely Certainly will return.
