Five stars for everything? Yes!…And deserved. Visited after the excellent Farmer’s Market Saturday morning. We experienced excellent tasty food and coffee, reasonable and justified prices for the quality we got. Very pleasant staff with attention to detail, value and quality. I wish them lots of deserved success…from a Kerry visitor!

Wonderful little cafe. The menu came quickly and I didn't have a long wait for my food. The quiche with chicken was very tasty. The cappuccino was a delight as well. Enjoyed my lunch

I was visiting skibberean a few weeks ago and we came to this gorgeous cafe for lunch! Food was amazing. I left a shopping bag behind with bits I had bought at the market. The staff were so unbelievably kind that they posted the bag back to me in Kildare!! What lovely people, highly recommend a visit!
