Tucked away at the edge of the Burren, the Doolin Cave Café offers a warm and inviting space to relax, refuel, and soak in the tranquillity of rural County Clare. Whether you’re just emerging from your underground adventure to see Europe’s largest stalactite or simply seeking a peaceful stop on your Wild Atlantic Way journey, the café is a destination in its own right.

This charming café champions freshness and flavour, proudly serving seasonal, locally sourced produce. Our menu is designed to showcase the very best of the region’s ingredients – with hearty soups, homemade bakes, vibrant salads, and freshly prepared sandwiches all made with care on-site. Vegetarians, vegans, and those with dietary requirements will find plenty to choose from, with each dish crafted to be nourishing and delicious.

Coffee lovers are in good hands too. Enjoy expertly brewed artisan coffee, roasted in Ireland, or opt for a selection of loose-leaf teas and locally produced soft drinks. And don’t miss our daily selection of home-baked treats – from fluffy scones and butter-rich traybakes to indulgent cakes, all baked with love by our in-house team.

The café’s setting is just as delightful as its food. With floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor seating in the warmer months, it’s the perfect place to unwind and take in the views of our wildflower meadow, limestone landscapes, and the Burren’s unique flora.

At the heart of the Doolin Cave Café is a commitment to sustainability and community. Our team works closely with local farmers, growers, and suppliers, ensuring every bite supports the people and landscape that make this part of Ireland so special.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite, a leisurely lunch, or simply a coffee and a moment of calm, the Doolin Cave Café offers a warm welcome and a true taste of the Burren. Open daily, the café is free to enter without a cave tour booking. Walk-ins are welcome, and group catering can be arranged in advance
