Lovely little cafe serving lite bites, excellent quality and service. Coffee was also excellent. Well worth a shot if your looking for something light or just a good coffee. Nice location just off the banks of the moy.

Absolutely fantastic spot! The food at Mam’s in Ballina is all homemade and full of flavour - you can really taste the care that goes into it. The soup was delicious, and the portions are incredibly generous. I didn’t get to try the delicious looking pastries but will give them a try next time I’m visiting. There’s a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and such a warm, genuine welcome from the team. Couldn’t recommend it more highly- a real gem!
I nearly forgot to mention the incredible Guinness bread! 👏
