Half Full offer a range of lunch options including sandwiches, sausage rolls, pies, smoothies and sweet options. There is ample seating with window seats where you can watch the world go by as you enjoy a tea of coffee. I had the tikka sandwich and I am looking forward to trying their other sandwiches.

When I say their sandwiches are amazing, they really are. I can't not stop by to get a sandwich if it's near enough to lunch time. They offer a great selection of coffees, sandwiches, and breakfasts. They have really healthy options too for those who are looking for those. Their staff are great too and are always so helpful and friendly.

This was a pleasant surprise I came across while in Tullamore. Excellent coffee and I don’t say that lightly!!! The aromas from kitchen were mouth watering… The overnight oats really hit the spot. Definitely worth a stop if passing through this part for a coffee and quick snack. A city cosmopolitan feel at very reasonable prices too

This is the best coffee shop in the county of Offaly. The staff are super efficient, kind and friendly. Trish, Ciara and all the lovely ladies are constantly in welcoming warm form and they're just smashing. They are so good and especially so with customers who have special or extra needs. We get film star treatment. I love this establishment Please don't ever close.
