New place on Main Street with a plethora of goodies to choose from. I went with their pistachio croissant since they usually sell out so quick, and an oat flat white. The pistachio croissant is filled with a beautiful crème pat and topped with pistachios. Presented beautifully as well. Staff are very nice, everything presented with a smile! :)
Thank you for your lovely review we are glad you enjoyed your time at Gingerbread
My favourite place for a coffee and a treat in Portlaoise. Great coffee, fresh, tasty treats, wonderful staff. Always clean and really cosy and welcoming.
Overpriced pastry - €4.50 for a small "aragostine" with dense, very sweet filling. Prices for pastries were not displayed.
