You can either order at the counter for coffee or treats to-go or sit at a table for a meal there. Service: The servers were really nice and were very prompt. We were in and out of here the two times we went very quickly. Food: The food was inexpensive and fresh. The coffee to-go was convenient. The American pancakes were a nice morning breakfast for my husband that wasn't super filling and the wrap I had was fresh and the side salad had a good dressing on it. Nothing super special but it was convenient, clean and friendly.

We were driving through Doolin and decided to follow signs to the Doolin Crafts Gallery, hoping to…read morepick up a few gifts for folks back home. 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.

I stayed in the hotel, and I could not stay for breakfast but one of the girls was kind enough to…read moregive us muffins. Hotel: there is narrow parking in the back. Check-in is only between 3-7pm. I arrived around 6:30 and the parking lot was packed, I assume from the dinner rush from the restaurant next to it. When I came back home after dinner, I was disappointed to find out that the radiator was not working (I also later found out that they turn it off from midnight - 6am which doesn't make sense to me since those are the coldest hours). It is cold outside, so I was thankfully that I packed a sweater to wear during sleep. The most annoying thing is that the shower water does not get hot. It only stays warm, so if you like hot washers, you'll have to adjust to the cold/warm water only. The only way to communicate with the manager is through phone call- so if you're traveling internationally it's almost impossible to communicate them since they don't reply on Airbnb chat right away. I do think the room is nice and clean, and the bathroom is a decent size. If it wasn't for the issues with heating, I would recommend this place. Muffins: The apple crumble muffin looks delicious and it does have apple inside, but it tasted like it could have been baked for 5 minutes more. The walnut muffin has what seemed like Dulce de leche - I enjoyed this one more than the apple one.
