There's nothing quite like a slice of sweet cake and a cuppa to lift even the dullest of days.
From dog-friendly coffee shops to bakeries and tearooms with scenic views, we've compiled a list of some of the best spots in Leitrim for a hot brew and a tasty treat.
Café Lounge
Café Lounge belongs to a local coffee roaster – Artessa, so everything here is about coffee and providing a nice, relaxing cafe experience to our customers. Our menu focuses on coffee and hot beverages for sitting in or take away; and of course the perfect companions of all coffees, fresh bakery and tasty cakes.
We have a retail section offering Artessa’s full range of freshly roasted coffees, and many coffee and tea brewing accessories.
