Interactive Coffee Trail
Doolin Inn
At Doolin Inn we take our coffee seriously. Our barista-quality coffee is supplied by the local roastery Anam Coffee, ensuring every cup is a true taste of the Burren. Available daily at Doolin Inn reception.
Anam Coffee
If you’re keen on where that coffee comes from, pay a visit to Anam Coffee. This small speciality roastery, nestled in the heart of the Burren, hand-roasts beans in small batches to unlock their hidden flavours. You can even take home a bag (or three) of their ethically sourced coffee to savour long after you leave. By appointment only.
Rocket House
Perched right on Doolin Pier, the Rocket House is your go-to grab-and-go spot before a day’s adventure to the Aran Islands or Cliffs of Moher Cruise. They serve a variety of coffees made with Calendar Coffee beans, alongside sourdough sandwiches and sweet treats—perfect fuel for whatever lies ahead.
Moher Cottage
For unforgettable views with your brew, head to Moher Cottage, a family-run café and gift shop beside the Cliffs of Moher. Housed in a 150-year-old cow shed, they serve premium barista coffee alongside locally baked goods and artisan fudge, all enjoyed from their panoramic terrace overlooking Liscannor Bay.
The Cheese Press
Just a short drive in Ennistymon, The Cheese Press blends a deli, café and speciality store under one roof. Known for “top quality natural food, locally roasted coffee, organic sourdough and delicious toasted cheese sandwiches,” it’s a firm favourite among locals and visitors alike.
