Spinich, mushrooms, avocado (ok, that's not a vegetable but still....). Menu has a typical Irish breakfast as well so all types of eaters will be satisfied. Coffee was strong. That's a good thing. Atmosphere and staff are welcoming and relaxed. I will come again, should I return after the country is unified. Ut-oh.....did I just start a fight? Sorry.

I ordered the Brioch Breakfast Bap. My first bite, flavour exploded in my mouth I could not contain myself but go for another, mixing the breakfast bap and the tall freezing glass of coke this surely was a outstanding combination. Will this be my last time in The Quirky Raven? Well I'll leave that up to you.

I love their food, cakes, deserts, coffee. However, the mother doesn't like the food as they don't have turkey/ham and spuds. So if you looking for a traditional Donegal dinner go to Dom's or the Central. If you want some good fresh, made on the premises, not-traditional grub, then head here. I should warn you that the cafe is small, and at lunchtime does get busy and you may not get a seat. If you visiting town, stop here before noontime and after 1pm as the lunch-rush will have subsided. Aroma recently opened a 2nd location closer to the center of town. It's across the street from Magee's factory on New Row. I haven't tried it, so I'll let someone else review it. It is a bigger location.

Hardy's has delivered, and then some. It's located in the same centre as Lidl and the cinema - behind it in fact. Don't be put off by the commercial location - once you're inside, you could just as easily be smack bang on the sea front such is the decor - light, bright and airy. The food though. Just divine. I had avocado smashed on sourdough bread, with two perfectly cooked poached eggs on top and this bacon marmalade that had the most incredible tangy sweetness. Then there's the cakes. Just stunningly gorgeo to look at and soooooooo light, fluffy, perfect. I can't fault a thing. Put it on your list!

It's a bit more urban than other places and to be honest once you step inside you could easily be in dublin. Coffee is positively spectacular compared to other spots and the food, naturally pricier than most other cafes in bundoran is also considerably better. Best cafe in town for now!

It was absolutely delicious and was just perfect! Definitely no complaints from me. The toast was made perfectly. The staff always make sure you are taken care of. I ended up going to Sheila's Coffee & Cream at least four times during my stay in Ardara. I also tried their desserts, scones and toasties . Everything tasted amazing! The staff are all professional, kind and genuinely care about their customers. Sheila's Coffee & Cream rates Five Stars and more! It should be noted I am originally from Dublin, Ireland, lived in the United States for over thirty years and served in the United States Marines all over the world.

The place rebranded a couple of years ago, and looks very cool and contemporary - wouldn't look out of place in Dublin city, but retains the charm of Sligo - facilitated by the Sisters O'Hara, the three sisters who are the creative energy behind the place. As well as a deli selling a wide range of speciality foods, teas, a 'free from' section, fresh cheeses, teas/coffees, sweet treats and lunches/dinners to go - there's also a dedicated skincare section, with some high end and reasonably priced beauty products. The window display changes with the seasons, as well as the stock. They're always ahead of the crowd, and this is a great spot to pick up a special gift. They're very active on social media and their instagram @kateskitchensligo is a feast for the eyes if you can't get instore. There's usually a veggie option at lunch, and try one of my personal faves - the coconut macaroons!
