Great breakfast, amazing location, and friendly staff. During our 4-day stay, we came here twice for a perfect breakfast and coffee. The food was delicious and the staff was very kind. We definitely recommend it! Thank you a lot, Iva from Czech Republic.

Enjoyed lovely pancakes and bacon for a bit of lunch. Love that the cafe is dog friendly too.

My husband and I are travelling across Ireland. We came across Tides Cafe today and went in for an all day breakfast. It was very tasty! The cafe had only opened yesterday and the staff were clearly experienced and very aware of customers' needs. Thank you Tides Cafe. We wish you all the best.
