Good spot!
I ordered bacon and maple syrup pancakes and they were to die for! Hot chocolate pairs well with them.
Staff were friendly, the place was clean, atmosphere very friendly and cozy, the food was good.

BreakfastAtmosphereCoffeeFriendly staffTasty food
If I could give more than five stars, I certainly would. My friend and I were here the week we were in town and we ate here almost every day. He had breakfast every day, I had the pancakes almost every day. The apple and cinnamon pancakes are wonderful. I fell in love with the iced tea here. Everything was perfect, extremely high quality, everything was fresh. I recommend this place 100 percent.
Had a fantastic experience at Coffee Start in Tralee. We ordered the Irish breakfast, pancakes, and sandwiches, and everything was absolutely top notch. The Irish breakfast was perfectly cooked, the pancakes were delicious and fluffy, and the sandwiches were fresh and full of flavour.
The ambience was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were especially friendly and offered great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better.
Highly recommend if you're in Tralee and looking for quality food and great service. we’ll definitely be back!
