First thing first ... The coffee was great if you love a good cup of coffee, this is the place. There's hot food options like toastie, panini and baps and a great selection of delicious cakes. There's also an outside sitting area to enjoy the sun and fresh air , also heater above outside table if it gets a bit frosty.

I love this family run café. The coffee is good but the sweet treats and fresh bread baked in store every day are even better. The staff are always so nice and the service is great. A-must-visit in Kilkee.
