Best coffee in Donegal. Delicious plant milks also available for vegan, dairy intolerant. Lady who runs it is a fantastic barrista & knows how to make a good brew. Lots of sweet treats on offer too. It does a good trade so that's a great sign. It's well established and has won numerous awards I highly recommend this coffee van, it's definitely worth a trip to Killybegs for.

I have been trying coffee from all sorts of places all over N.Ireland and Ulster and there are just a few I would give 10 out of 10 for their brew but this place, THIS PLACE, well wow, easily the best coffee I've ever had. 11 out of 10. Their latte is so smooth and the balance of the coffee is perfect with the best roast I think I have ever tasted. Do not deny yourself the best coffee experience of your life.
