Family run business with warm and welcoming staff. Incredibly delicious food all made from scratch. They took on a whole bus load of us and everything came out quickly. I really can’t say enough good things about this place. 10/10 would eat here again.

My wife and I had the fish cakes with a local Irish beer and a slice of strawberry chocolate cake. I followed that all up with an Irish coffee. The food was AMAZING! My wife said it was the best meal she ate the whole vacation so far. The service was beyond incredible, with very attentive and helpful bus boys and workers behind the counter. I most definitely recommend going here if you find yourself in need of a good Irish coffee or dessert. It seemed like it could get busy, but there is adequate seating inside and out.

I can very much recommend this restaurant and shop. The food was great although you get it from a counter and take it with you to the table. The cakes were also great and all homemade. Very tasty. Prices are ok. The shop itself is great. Prices are lower compared to other shops, so it might be an opportunity to make a bigger shopping here.
