The Coffee Shop is located about 5 mins walk from the main car park on Killiney Hill or 2 mins from Killiney village by the 'Victoria Gates' in the square tower.
Opening hours for the summer mid-week 8am - 4pm ish depending on the weather. Weekend 10am - 5.30pm ish again depending on the weather. I would also guess they may well stay open longer as the evenings get brighter.
This coffee shop would not have room to swing a small dog with a short tail but what it lacks in space it makes up for in quality of tea, coffee, organic drinks, homemade cakes and pastries.
You go in order what you want and take it outside where there are tables and chairs and sometimes umbrellas when needed to help against all the hot summer days we will be getting.
There are little touches like flowers on the tables and a paper to read on a Sunday while you while away the time after a walk up to the Obelisk...or not. Perhaps watching all the people around you with their dogs. Because this is a place where dogs are welcome....provided they behave. There are even dog bowls to hand for thirsty dogs.
I love it here and I enjoy it as much during the week when it is quieter.
I am most likely known as the 'mocha' lady as that is what I always have along with a lemon slice all for the price of 4.70. If you go there do NOT have the lemon slice in case they are all gone by the time I get there!
Children are welcome here also. Dogs run free mostly and behave themselves impeccably unless one little dog may have put her paws on your lap but it was only because she likes your smell and energy and it was just her way.....sorry about the mud.
Love it. read more
