Great coffee, friendly staff, and tasty pastries. Checked out this lovely little shop right in the heart of Schull. They’ve got seating inside as well as a cozy area at the back of the café. Perfect spot to relax, enjoy a treat, and watch the town go by.

Great little café in Schull! We were there recently on a sunny Sunday morning and the place was doing a great business. Excellent coffee, delicious cake, and friendly service. Highly recommend.

The village is beautiful, but this coffee shop was adorable. First off, the ambience here is so peaceful that you'll end up staying longer than planned. The cappuccino was absolutely perfect at €3.80 and they have a good selection of cakes too if you like. The seating is comfortable and the staff were very professional and friendly. It's very charming and full of perfect local village life. I really could have stayed here for hours. They have outside seating as well out the back. The coffee shop itself is impeccably clean, however, the toilet could do with some paint, but it's not unclean. It's seems to be a big place where people bring their dogs, but it wasn't issue, more kinda cute in this charming village. Overall, it was a perfect stop on the way through a the perfect village of Schull.
