Found this place a bit by chance driving from the Cliffs of Moher and Dingle… and what a pleasant surprise it was! The food was lovely, service was top notch, and the ambiance was sweet and relaxing. I had one of the daily specials (open faced tuna melt (pictured)) and my travel partner had an chicken curry wrap. Both delicious! Hope I get to visit again sometime

Oh my! Yum!! Had the Black Puddong Salad, and my mum had the Goats Cheese Foccacia...clean plates both sides of the table, and stuffed afterwards. Only thing missing was a couch to have a snooze after

Today, I went for soup, chips, latte and cheese cake. The soup was amazing and the brown bread was super. The latte was fine with strong coffee taste which is needed after a long morning. The cheese cake was OK a little sweet for me but everything was good. The place was so clean and the waitresses were so nice, the food came quickly. A very cosy atmosphere and nice to sit down for a chat.

Had breakfast here full Irish had plenty in it. Fresh made brown bread and their own raspberry jam. Lovely place. Open turf fire. Fresh breads cakes and scones. It's a busy spot so your may have to wait at the weekend.

Absolutely wonderful little Cafe. The coffee was delicious and piping hot and the cinnamon brown bread scone was so so tasty. The slices of cake are more than generous and very good. A tad too sweet for my personal taste but my table companions loved it. The service was also outstanding. So friendly and warm. I can't recommend enough.
