Update, June 2024
Cafe Nua never came back, and now Home Gallery have replaced the cafe sign about the door with one of their own.
Update, January 2024
Cafe Nua opened in the quiet days between Christmas and New Year, but hasn't
been open since 1 January. There's a sign on Home Gallery's door
saying "restaurant closed today" - and it's not clear if Nua are on a long
holiday or closed for good.
Originally ...
Nua took over the
cafe in Home
Gallery in Briarhill Business Park (previously
Roots cafe), in late August 2023 - although the signs outside weren't changed until the
start of October.
Branching out from
their original store in Moycullen, they started gently, after fitting a new coffee machine and
refreshing the decor. The first few days they kept the menu very small
(coffee and scones) while getting the kitchen under control gradually
sandwiches, salads and adding some hot food options. There's also
a small selection of pastries and scones - smaller but more reasonably-priced
than Roots offered.
The cafe now has some very comfortable couches to complement the three
sections of traditional tables, and a relaxed welcoming vibe which comes from
having staff who are happy to be there and enjoy welcoming people, be they
local workers on a quick break or shoppers having a leisurely lunch.
Lunch is served from 12-noon - exact days and hours still being worked out.
