10. Foam
Reviewed By Maggiebui
I wanted a decent coffee. I got it. Stumbled by chance across Foam at the top of Main Street. Very pleased I did. Great coffee, snacks, and a healthy offering of brunch/lunch foods. These guys also do gigs/film showings/show case up and coming talent. Also mentioned was a regular BBQ. Sounds like a great type of cultured, open minded, progressive local place. Will definitely be back.

This is a fairly mainstream restaurant. Nothing fancy, nothing horrible. Service was good. The room was clean. Food was ok, but unremarkable. Pizzas probably adapted to local tastes, and some ingredients seemed a bit incongruent. For example one the pizzas stated Basil as one of the ingredients, when it arrived it had dried basil on it-Maybe market demand determined this, but every other place Iâve been to always had fresh basil on the pizzas. Pizza base was good. Would go back.

An exciting cafe in Bundoran Co. Donegal, serving honest, tasty and fresh food in a bright and relaxing environment. Sip on a Badger & Dodo coffee to accompany a slice of home-baked cake, or enjoy our signature fresh fish finger sandwich with some homemad

On the recommendation of my son and a few other friends, I made a slight detour into Bundoran to see for myself just how good the HardyBaker Café really was. Tucked off Bundoranâs Main Street, I found the café which was full of vibrant chatter and people with happy faces - locals and visitors alike. Even though itâs a café, there was a lovely ambiance and vibe to the place, orchestrated by charming staff who seemed to know everyone or who certainly made everyone feel so welcome and special. The menu was spot on, not too fussy or pretentious but offered a great selection of tasty food. I was torn between the Hardy burger but was swayed by the lovely Meg who recommended crushed avocado on fresh sourdough, topped with soft poached eggs and their homemade relish. I was delighted I took her advice as it was absolutely delicious. The accompanying flat white was equally good and all served with charm and efficiency. Great staff.All in all, Iâd strongly recommend anyone to make a slight detour and sample the wonderful establishment that is The HardyBaker Café - a hidden gem!

Boy oh boy, we really landed on our feet when we entered Caroline's cafe! My parents and I popped in for lunch on a day trip to Bundoran. Brid (who is Caroline's daughter) and her team provided a most delicious lunch of fresh sandwiches for an amazing cost of 4 euro each (and there was a side salad!). I'd highly recommend a visit to this cafe - great service, excellent food and a great buzz to the place, thank you!

We got toasties and the ham was chunky and it was not nice and didnât taste like a toasty FLIPPING MINGINGThank you for your review. We believe you have posted about the wrong location as we do not serve chunky ham in our toasties.
5. Slevins Department Store
Reviewed By 007Wildrover
I recently visited Slevins department store and found the staff to be the friendliest, most helpful and courteous people- all of whom clearly love their jobs. My final port of call was the Poetâs Café- welcoming, delicious food and lovely ambience. There is even a nook where one can relax with a book! I was laden down with parcels so was told to relax and take a seat and my coffee would be brought over to me. The scone I had was really delicious. The staff, as in all the departments, are what makes this place so special.
4. Dolly's Cafe/Tearoom
Reviewed By audreyloughrey
Oh my God. I can't say enough about dollys cafe.. amazing.. everything is homemade. An absolute treat for the taste buds. A lovely vintage little cafe. I had roasted tomato soup with their homemade bread. Pizza, sausage roll with side salad and apple and rubarb tart to finish. (What can I say, I'm a glutton for great food ) I wanted to try everything. Honestly I can't rate this cafe high enough. Def worth a visit if you are in ballyshannon...

This was a find, located just up the hill from the Rory Gallagher statue. There's a wide range of food which meant that some of us could have breakfast while others had lunch or just a snack. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient and service was prompt. The food was lovely and we were all pleased. They even had great gluten-free rolls. Well done.
2. Chew & Brew
Chew with a Brew and Brew with a Few. Bringing a new & exciting eatery into the heart of Irelandâs Oldest Town.

I visited Chew & brew and I cannot rate the place highly enough. The salted chilli shredded chicken is the best one of the best I have had in years. High quality, perfectly cooked. The staff are fantastic, the warm welcoming feelings as soon as I went through the door, Im a coffee addict so I had to try it and the coffee was excellent. Also excellent value for money. I will definitely be returning, I will happily travel to revisit this lovely spot.
