My recent shopping experience at Spar left much to be desired. The deli food, as evident in the provided picture, was disappointingly overcooked. The lack of customers should have allowed for higher quality food, but it seemed that attention to detail was lacking. Furthermore, the person who appeared to be the store manager exhibited signs of extreme stress and impatience. Even simple tasks like being called to the floor seemed to push their limits. This level of irritability may reflect a management issue within the store. Such behavior not only leaves a negative impression on customers but also impacts the overall atmosphere of the store. Moreover, the pricing of products at Spar was exorbitant. The high prices made it difficult to justify purchasing certain items, especially when comparable alternatives are readily available at more reasonable costs elsewhere. This pricing disparity reflects poorly on the store's value proposition, potentially alienating customers. On a positive note, the cashier seemed like a genuinely decent person, providing friendly and satisfactory service. However, the overall management of the store needs to be reevaluated. The current management style is detrimental to both the employees' well-being and the customers' experience. In order for Spar to improve, it is crucial that changes be made at the management level. This would ensure better quality control, lower pricing, and a more positive shopping environment. Only with these changes can Spar hope to regain customers' trust and loyalty.

Handy local shop with all the basics and a reasonable selection of beer & wine down the back. Mostly grab n go, pre-made sandwiches, drinks & snacks. Also a deli counter down the back with hot food and a coffee machine for fresh coffee. This shop has an ATM down by the beer & wine. Some outdoor seating if the weather is nice.

  • Barry Dunne

Staff are really excellent here. Witnessed manager helping a guy with Parkinson's Disease out at the shop front. But again, with Spar, prices are poor as in too expensive and the deli did have offers, tool and coffee etc for 5 euro but these offers disappeared about 6 weeks ago.

  • Dan Kerrigan

Great place. My favorite place to get my coffee and essentials. I often come in on the weekends. The blonde woman and young girl are a very funny and friendly pair and bring a great atmosphere to the place which is more than can be said for other shops I have visited. Definitely

  • Joyel Cardoza

The combination of quick service, mouthwatering sandwiches, and an extensive snack selection makes this place a top choice for those seeking convenience without compromising on flavor. A definite go-to for a satisfying and speedy deli experience!

  • Duck Duck

Nice, quiet shop. The selection of products is nice. You can top-up your Leap card here too (at least you could when I came). Prices are a bit high, and were still higher than average before the inflation spike. Relatively clean.

  • Dan

Nice place for basics, but if you want anything beyond very basic things you're going to need to go elsewhere. That said, if you want a sandwich, a coffee and a chocolate bar or some basic things like toothpaste, you're good

  • Bill Carlsbad

Much like 7-11 stores in USA....hot sandwiches that are reasonably priced but not much meat or cheese. Small outside eating area on busy street but okay for eating a quick bite. No Michelin stars but I'm glad it was there!

  • Lar Quinn

Poor location and poor owners apparently. The shop is never stocked always missing products and poorly run. The staff are very unpleasant and haven’t a word of English it’s a joke the neck of them.. …

  • stephen mooney

Deli workers have zero clue on how to make a roll they do not understand the difference between a small abit of somthing and they can't tell the spicy chicken to the plain or southern fried. 1 out of 5

  • Cedric Quitoriano

Food overall is great but don't ask for a wrap as one of the workers in the deli doesn't know how to make one properly. Instead of rolling the wrap, he folds it instead, making the wrap messy to eat.

  • andreas sellhorn

Hot food counter staff not a happy bunch, also , 1 minute they give you a 5,50 Euro deal and the next day they don't, I have stopped using it and never ever will I recomend it. ☹ …

  • EV

I just got the most ridiculous wrap I have ever seen in my life, and they charged me €5 for it. Two toppings ( a tiny scoop of each) and one slice of Turkey. I am definitely not coming back

  • Mike Leyden

O.K......it is in an area close to Beggars Bush, and by God do they have some beggars outside their door..... A bit intimidating, when they stick their plastic mugs up under your nose...

  • Zintle Bovana

There is no variety in what they sell. Bought a sub that you are able to choose your filling, wow was it dry and chose mayo and they smeared it as if it was butter.

  • Tadhg Brady

The staff on at night have no interaction with customers apart from standing over you while you scan your one item at the self service tills.
