Judes Place is a straightforward, friendly café nestled inside the NDSL Centre on Oscar Traynor Road, serving the local Kilmore community with fresh, made-to-order food that suits both quick bites and post-workout refueling. It draws in a steady stream of gym-goers, locals swinging by for a casual breakfast or lunch, and families looking for a relaxed spot without fuss.

The vibe here leans towards casual and welcoming rather than trendy — expect a simple, functional setup where the emphasis is on straightforward, wholesome meals. Customers often arrive after training sessions at the nearby gym, appreciating a menu that includes healthy options like skinny bagels with turkey or protein pancakes, both satisfying and easy to grab when you’re on the go. The runny eggs and fresh ingredients hint at a kitchen that values quality without overcomplicating things.

While the café is modest in scale, it keeps service upbeat and personal, with regular visitors noting a consistently polite and friendly staff. Judes Place can get a bit busy during local sports events or when multiple games are happening at once, suggesting that arriving a little earlier can save you from waiting in line. This makes it a practical spot for early risers or midday visitors seeking a relaxed meal without the crowds.

For those who enjoy sweeter treats alongside their caffeine fix, the café is known locally for pancakes — especially the ones with Nutella and strawberries, which draw repeat orders. This adds a bit of indulgence to an otherwise straightforward menu centered on freshness and simplicity.

Overall, Judes Place fits neatly into daily routines rather than occasional outings. It’s ideal for locals who want a no-nonsense place to recharge after workouts, grab a wholesome lunch, or enjoy a casual breakfast with friends or family. The atmosphere suits those who appreciate a dependable, friendly spot that feels integrated with the neighborhood’s active lifestyle.

We got in there after training at the nearby gym and was happily surprised with the choice of healthy meals. Got skinny bagels with turkey, so tasty! Egg runny. Protein pancakes looked great. Service was very friendly:)
