Lovely cafe with delicious scones and a breathtaking view. If you’re lucky you’ll get to see some cute lambs as well.
Chicago visitor! So so so beautiful!! Service is great, the drive is definitely scary though! There’s maybe half a mile of a road on the cliff that’s extremely narrow so be prepared. I am so glad we drove to this cafe, it is sooo worth it!
Every year I come to Kerry and every year this is my favourite stop for lunch. The food is delicious, there is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and the staff are sound!! The view helps too!! Highly recommend!!!
I can't say enough good things about our stop here. It was one of the highlights of our entire Ireland trip! We ordered cappuccinos and a couple of sweet treats. The fruit scone came with clotted cream and jam, and it was a standout of our trip. The rhubarb crumble came with vanilla ice cream and was also wonderful. On top of that, the views from the property were jaw-dropping. If you are in the area, do not skip this place!
Excellent little cafe with positively stunning views. The desserts and coffee were tasty, but the charming outdoor tables overlooking the coast is the real draw.
A lovely café with a breathtaking and scenic view! The prices are very reasonable, and even the road leading to the café feels like a little adventure. A charming place worth visiting!
10/10 views, 10/10 service, 10/10 for a cafe sandwich, soup, and a few coffees! Can't recommend this spot highly enough while on Slea Head Drive - parking is tight but the waitresses directed us on where to park and were so friendly and kind. Could sit here for hours and admire the view! Will 100% return here next time I'm lucky enough to visit Dingle
Meal with a view is an understatement. Arrived just a little before opening and met Bruno, the bestest dog, who loves scratches behind the ears and loves his sides being rubbed. Met several very welcoming and personable women. The scones (biscuits for us Americans) were so good, as was the jam and cream served with it. Very much enjoyed the chicken and stuffing sandwich, toasted of course. If it was would have had gravy on the sandwich it would have been an American Thanksgiving on a plate. Truly a wonderful experience and will definitely be back the next time I’m in Ireland. Thank you ladies for a fantastic brunch and thank you Bruno for the warm welcome.
