Behind its cool grey and yellow facade, this community-focused coffeeshop is a local favourite for its smiling staff, soulful tunes and short but flavour-packed menu, from sausage and black pudding rolls to ‘healthy muffins’ and swirled chocolate babka. Take home a bag of the small-batch house-roasted beans sourced from around the world.

The late Lisbeth Mulcahy was a Danish-born tapestry artist who was a game-changer on the creative scene in Dingle. Her herringbone designs in deep blue and heather-purple reflect the wind-lashed landscape, while her strokeable lambswool and soft alpaca scarves are essential packing in a place of unpredictable elements.

Pick up locally made crystal-charged jewellery from Táim, turf-scented beeswax candles or rare-breed Irish sheepskins in this tiny but lovingly curated space. There are also beautifully grained wooden chopping boards, vinegars and dressings made from ingredients foraged in the hedgerows and ceramics by a Kerry potter who digs his own clay nearby.

It’s not unusual to see a fiddle player and an uilleann piper playing tunes in front of shelves chaotically stocked with boxes of nails and sets of allen keys at this hardware shop that moonlights as a pub. Tools hang from the ceiling and the wooden counter is worn from seven decades of leaning elbows. Get here early on the weekend as it fills up quickly.
