We found Brian Hackett hard at work in his jewelry studio, which I think has taken over the Crafts Gallery space. In any case, we were impressed by Brian's work but were not in the market for jewelry, so we moved along. In the other wing of the building, we were astounded to find the most AMAZING little bakery - to think we almost drove right by this place and didn't even know it existed. Fabiola, Brian's partner, has brought a little piece of France to this quiet corner of Ireland! Her delicate pastries and exquisite desserts reflect professional training and an artistic eye. They taste every bit as good as they look, too... I am still dreaming about the raspberry tart. Oh, la la. Fabiola herself is a welcoming host and will make you feel right at home as you enjoy her sun-bathed cafe, which overlooks the patio garden and fields beyond. A magical place, with cheerful touches of color and character in every inch of the decor...the perfect spot to sit and stay a while as you savor a mouth-watering pastry or scone and linger over a cup of dark, true coffee. Not to be missed if you are passing through Doolin. If the signs for the Doolin Crafts Gallery lead you astray, here is my best attempt at directions: take R479 northeast out of Doolin. About 1.0km out of town, you will see a large white church on a right-hand corner. Take a right on the lane just before it (L1036, I believe). The cafe and jewelry gallery will just a few hundred meters up on your right.

Our hotel was right across the street. This restaurant is pretty much a cottage with wonderfully sweet people serving amazingly gorgeous food! 3 weeks later and I still cannot stop thinking about their food. The service given to us was unforgettable. I ordered a garden salad and their crab claws. OMG. Pan fried crab claws with garlic and chili butter and a samphire cream sauce. OMG and their sourdough bread is amazing with this. Everyone else in my party loved their food. We all wanted dessert so we decided on a tasting platter and this was the highlight of the dinner. Everything was perfect. I can only hope I'm here again to come back for their food!

They have jewelry, decorations, candles, you name it. A great little spot to pick up a gift for someone. There is a lovely cafe at the back which serves a great selection of cakes and coffees. Staff were very friendly. I popped here on a very wet day, and warmed up with coffee and a slice of lemon drizzle cake. A latte, flat white, slice of lemon drizzle and a slice of apricot and almond cake €13.20. Yummy.

The typical North…read moreAfrican trilobites, polished stones of no intrinsic interest for anyone over the age of 8, geodes from Brazil, etc. Probably of the most interest to the visitor was a small display on the back center that consisted of minerals found in Ireland. If you're looking for that, this is a good stop. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have some of the local fossils, some of which were abundant in the paving stones at the Cliffs of Moher park. In fact, we stopped to buy those--but they are probably not of interest to the types of tourist that this shop is geared towards. I did find a dark chocolate whiskey candy bar here, which I enjoyed. They do have a little coffee shop with desserts and pastries...a bit incongruous with the concept of a rock and gem shop.

The room was well updated and cozy. Each morning we had full complimentary breakfast across the street at the Barracks restaurant that was included with our room. Scott runs a very hospitable business and his passion for customer service shows through his staff. Michael was awesome, not only was he the one received us at 7pm, checked us in and showed us our room, he was also working each morning in the restaurant and helped us plan our daily journeys around the Galway area. Everyone we met were very attentive , kind and helpful. Next door to the Lodge, The Stone House Pizza had awesome food as well and is the one place we found that serves a true cocktail. I highly recommend staying at the Lodge at The Old Barracks to anyone who likes a local vibe and hospitality. After our fantastic experience I would never consider staying anywhere else when visiting the Galway area.

We walked by and the coffee smelt so good, decided to do our last breakfast in Tralee here…read more I stuck with my usual of the full Irish and got: - Ashes Sausage: this was darn tasty - Ashes white pudding: if Chicken Pate and Chicken sausages had a love child, this would be it - so good and creamy! Best white pudding eaten on the trip so far! - Killorglin smoked bacon: smoky and crispy and oh so good. My co-diners ordered extra!! - Jack McCarthy black pudding: I tried to take a pic of the ruby-red and purple colour and failed. It was elegant and lovely. - Ardfert free range eggs: the richness and yellow yolks were divine - grilled tomato: decent, might be weakest part of the brekkie - tomato chutney: I licked this clean and got seconds. Perfect blend of spices, onions, tomatoes and sultanas. I would just go and get this and eat it with good Irish cheddar cheese - toast: two different varieties and crisp - freshly roasted filter coffee: fantastically light roast. All for €9,95!! This was the first full Irish breakfast I ate where I walked up and felt perfectly full but not stuffed. The Roast House has my vote for the #1 Irish breakfast in Tralee with Yummy Cafe as #2. We also got tempted by their desserts and the Walnut coffee cake was divine! It had properly fresh cream frosting, whipped light as air, moist cake and we demolished it plus took cappuccino to go. Absolutely recommend and would go again when/if in Tralee again! Note: #275 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016
