In the buzzing seaside town of Dingle, you’ll be absolutely spoilt for choice with places to eat and drink. However, as much as we love checking out all the local pubs, days full of exploring and perhaps a sore head from the night before mean that knowing where to get a great coffee is essential.
There are loads of great options when you’re in Dingle, all of them offering up great coffee and tasty treats to take with you as you stroll around the harbour or need fuelling up for a day of adventure.
Here are some of our favourites.
My Boy Blue

Open since 2017, My Boy Blue is always a buzzing hotspot in the centre of town. Before opening time there’s already a queue outside as people wait to get a much needed morning coffee.
As well as great coffee, pastries (their sausage rolls are particularly amazing) they also have a brilliant lunch and breakfast menu that’s also available to take away. Make sure to try their breakfast burrito or the cranberry, bacon and brie toastie, you won’t be disappointed!
Caifé Na Trá

If you’re heading off on the Slea Head drive it’s nice to make a pitstop along the way to take in the gorgeous views.
Caifé Na Trá is the perfect spot for a coffee, cake or even a bit of lunch as you soak up the scenery.

Another spot in the heart of the town is An Cupán Tae. Located right opposite the marina, the views are great for sitting outside on a sunny day.
As well as serving up coffee, they also have cake and freshly made sandwiches making it a great pit stop for lunch, or just before you hop on board one of the many dolphin boat tours!

Bean in Dingle is A must visit when you’re in Dingle, tucked away on Green Street, you’d almost miss it if it wasn’t for their bright yellow door!
With friendly staff serving up excellent coffee -which you can also buy by the bag- they have loads of freshly baked sweet treats in store too.
Dingle Coffee House

Despite what the name may suggest, this is very much not an indoor spot. This coffee hut is ideal if you’re in need of a caffeine hit on the go and it’s located nice and centrally to the town too.
