Absolutely brilliant coffee and easily one of the best I’ve had, really well made and great value too. The baked goods were just as good! We had the lemon and blackcurrant fudge biscuit bites which were class, as well as the banana bread and lemon drizzle cake, and everything was delicious. Kieran, the owner, was brilliant too and made the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Kerry!

Stopped on our way from inch beach to Galway and it’s so cute! The coffee is lovely and a bunch of pastries to choose from. Really friendly staff and parking was easy too.
This place went off - the coffee was absolutely great but it was the cake that did it for us. It tasted like a truly home made - and by this, I mean quality - baked goods! It's a takeaway joint solely but they have a couple of chairs and benches outside
