Our story

A kitchen table on the square

Hazel & Rye opened in 2019 in an old drapery shop on O'Connor Square.

We wanted somewhere in Tullamore you could linger. Good coffee made properly, bread baked out the back before the doors open, and food that tastes like someone cares about it.

Everything we can make ourselves, we do. The rest comes from people we know: free range eggs from a farm outside Clara, vegetables from growers around the county and a house blend roasted for us in the midlands.

Our regulars say it best

4.8average rating out of 5

  • Best flat white in Tullamore, no contest. The cinnamon buns are dangerous. I'm in three mornings a week now.

  • Brought my mam here for her birthday brunch and they couldn't do enough for us. The shakshuka was gorgeous.

    Ciarán D.
  • Coeliac here and they actually know what they're talking about. Gluten free toast done properly, separate toaster and all.

    Sinéad K.
  • Sound staff, great coffee and they bring out a bowl of water for the dog before you even ask. Our Sunday spot.

    Tom B.
  • Lovely spot to get a bit of work done in the morning. It gets busy at lunch, so come early if you want the window seat.

    Niamh O.
  • Ordered a sandwich platter for a work meeting. Arrived on time, looked brilliant and there wasn't a crumb left.

Questions we get asked

Anything else? Give us a call or drop in, we're always happy to chat.

Can I bring my dog?

Of course. Dogs are welcome inside and at the tables out front. We keep water bowls by the door and there's usually a treat behind the counter.

Can I work from the cafe on my laptop?

Yes. We have free wifi and plugs along the window bar. We just ask that laptops take a break between 12 and 2 on weekdays, when we're busiest with lunch.

Do you cater for allergies and coeliacs?

Allergen information for every dish is available, just ask us. We have gluten free bread and bakes every day and use a separate toaster for gluten free bread. We are a small kitchen that uses flour, nuts and dairy, so we can't promise anything is completely free of traces.

Do you take bookings?

Tables are first come, first served for groups of up to 6. For 8 or more, send us a WhatsApp and we'll hold a table for you.

Do you have vegan options?

Yes. Look for the VG badge on the menu. Oat and soy milk are always on, and we can make most of our sandwiches vegan.

Is there parking nearby?

There's pay parking around O'Connor Square and a public car park a short walk away. The square is also fully accessible at our front door.
