A fantastic cafe beside the cycle path and opposite the famous Pink Shop. Personal favourite are the daily choice of fresh scones and coffee. Cycle along here for the Castle loop or even down to the beach at Tralee. You could even cycle to the airport for a quick flight!

Amazing friendly service with a jaw dropping view over the Castle to the Island of Lismore and across the Firth of Lorn. Fresh locally sourced produce, outdoor seating and gift shop. Ideal spot to grab some home made breakfast on the go or relax with scrumptious scones. A personal favourite.
