Reviews of The Shack - Artisan Coffee & Ice Cream

A. A.

Very subjectively speaking, the best little coffee place in Ireland. The espresso works like rocket fuel before a surf sesh. If you wanna skip the surfing, you can just sit outside (it's nicely sheltered from the wind) and enjoy your ice cream and muffin (Oh M G) in the sun.

Fantastic coffee and traybakes. Blueberry, almond and chocolate croissants. Never got to try the ice cream. Surfer vibes and the shack is like something you’d see on bondi beach in Sydney! Friendly staff and quick service. Best part is there are benches and seating just at the entrance to the beach where you can enjoy your food or coffee after.

J. H.

Good coffee, decent croissant. Outside seating only so weather dependent. Dogs allowed if kept on lead. Good, though short walks through the dunes and across the sands.

B. R.

Lovely coffee and a nice selection of other treats. Not overly expensive given where it is located. Had run out of the ice-cream I wanted, which is why they haven't got 5 stars!

L. M.

Right beside the lovely Marbel Hill beach serving coffee, cakes and ice cream. You can buy clothes here too. The seating area is lovely and filled with people chilling out enjoying the view of the beach. Cozy cushions and blankets are available for colder days. Dog bowls are available and there a tap for water. Coffee is good quality and atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

C. B.

Harry's Shack is an amazing little find at Marble Hill beach. Outstanding artisan coffee, delicious coffee, treats and local crafts for sale. An understated beach hut with a relaxing and well kept garden area to enjoy your coffee in. The views out to the beach are stunning and The Shack is a 30 second walk from the beach - just across the road!

B. B.

Fantastic fresh coffee & delicious tray bakes. The best thing of all is the location - simply can't be beaten!

L. G.

This is a wonderful cafe offering lovely ice cream, snacks and sweet treats to go along with your coffee. They have their own merchandise for sale too. Beautiful view overlooking Marble Hill strand. Lovely outside space to sit and soak up the views.

L. K.

Excellent coffee - the best we had during our week in Donegal! Also very efficient and pleasant staff - long queue but it moved quickly.

a. b.

My coffee was normal. Our almond croissants were tasty, not sure if they were made on site or reheated.

T. M.

For what it is (a shack on the side of the road) it's great. The coffee is really nice, there's local ice cream, sweets, treats and branded paraphernalia, but the views on a sunny day make it a treasure.

B. F.

Great coffee and amazing scenery!

A. K.

Nice coffee served by pleasant staff. Right at the beach so very handy.

J. T.

Lovely food and service. If you have chance to come here never miss this brilliant coffee shop👍👍

M. K.

Awesome coffee awesome people! This is our go to local coffee spot. Its located right on one of the best beaches in the world with fantastic views. The owners are supper friendly and pasionet about what they do. Did I mention they roast their own specialty coffee? Do not visit Donegal without having a coffee here!

S. C.

Best coffee to be had. They roast their own beans making for a truly artisan coffee experience. Set opposite the beautiful marble beach what more can you ask for!!

L. H.

Great coffee and staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Cakes and Ice-cream a must try too.

Some of the best coffee I've had in Ireland. They roast it themselves and pull excellent shots of espresso!

D. A. G.

Without the slightest doubt. The best coffee around. Extremely friendly staff. Fantastic design of the whole concept. I couldn't stop telling my family and friends about. They also have a range of home designed and handmade throws, cushions and more.

M. M.

Amazing coffee with magnificent views a must have on a trip to beautiful marble hill beach

J. M.

Good but coffee much too strong & hot, was there 3 out of last few years not as good, hoping inexperienced staff.

S. H.

The Best Coffee, Sound Staff + Alternative milks and Gluten free treats for freaks like me 👏

c. n.

Loved it here, super fish menu and team, its super location too

r. f.

Beautiful spicy coffee Very friendly staff

E. O. '.

Amazing experience to visit and have a coffee overlooking the beach. Excellent value for money too..

J. L.

Overlooking Marble Hill Beach this fun little cafe offers beautiful views to customers. There is plenty of seating outdoors only on shabby chic converted pallets. Coffee was delicious and there is a large range of tasty Mullins ice cream too. The atmosphere is relaxed among both customers and staff. The Shack opens seasonally and is well worth a visit if you are in the area. It's not cheap but the atmosphere and views will make sure I visit again. When the weather is dry it's hard to beat just chilling out watching the surfers riding the rolling waves. A little jewel in Sheephaven Bay.

J. G.

What a great place. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly owners. Best flat whites in the county!

B. L.

Finally, good coffee in Donegal. Just have to stumble across it in the middle of nowhere.

M. M.

I LOVE coffee and can honestly say The Shack has to be one of the very best places for a flat white that I have ever been to. My friend and I visited the Shack and Marble Hill strand twice on our 3 day stay in Dunfanaghy. We loved the exquisite cakes on sale also. The staff are extremely friendly too. Just a dream of a place. We highly recommend it.

T. H.

Love love love this little gem! Coffee is amazing light bites ice cream cakes and smoothie are available. The staff are SUPER friend and the quirky nature of this PLACE love it!! I'm a regular I go all seasons it's just class

H. N.

Great coffee and ice cream with a beach view! Just need to be slightly more allergy aware. My son has an egg allergy and when asked if the chocolate chip had egg in they said no. Then he came up in his usual egg allergy rash and feeling sick. When I returned to the counter asked them to double check.... it was correct. However they were cleaning the scoop in the same cup of water as the cookies and cream which contains egg. They said they would be more aware for next time... Lucky it wasn't a major reaction!

P. D.

I really enjoyed my coffee here after a nice walk along the Marble Hill beach. I liked the look and feel of The Shack with it's up-cycled style. I highly recommend visitors to this great beach to top off their visit with a hot or cold drink and a snack at The Shack.

S. M.

Wonderful coffee in a beautiful setting 😊

C. W.

Quaint little beach shack. Selling amazing cakes. And really good coffee. Amongst other things. I stop here before going to work. Plenty of outside seating and an out of this world view of the sea. Clear sands all along. Gorgeous part of the world. If your near or passing definitely worth a stop. Very friendly and chatty staff.

A. G.

Lovely location in Donegal. Great coffee. Best in Donegal. Would 100% go back

C. G.

Such nice coffee and Tom is such a nice guy 👍🏻 can't wait for them to open again! Best staff anywhere 👍🏻💙

E. M.

Great coffee, fantastic ice cream and super friendly staff. The location is just stunning and as a result, it can get really busy. Coffee and ice cream is worth the wait without a doubt.

D. M.

Great coffee and muffins served by great friendly people. And a view, even on a bad day to die for.

R. F.

The Shack is a lovely coffee shop in just the right place. The Honeycomb Ice Cream was delishious and perfect while sitting on Marbel Beach 🌞🌞😋😋

B. H.

Wonderful! Really good coffee, very attentive staff and great, yet small space. The snacks are great, but didn't try the ice cream. Great location, right at Marble Hill beach! Fantastic!

Great variety of snacks, home-roasted coffee, tea and ice cream at fair prices. Owners are very friendly and always happy to have a chat. You have a nice view across the bay towards Downings. Also has an open-air sitting area. Water for your pets or for cleaning your feet is provided free of charge.

C. M.

Coffee is top class and the ice creams are so tasty. Such a busy spot, beautiful scenic spot.

M. R.

Lovely hot coffee with delicious homebaked treats and snacks met with lovely friendly staff. Perfect on a cold wet windy day.

C. C.

Coffee was excellent staff friendly . scenery to say amazing would be understatement it's actually out of this world it had started to rain but people were still jumping in to the sea this beach the water is truly breath taking on good day even on bed day folks you should pay it visit its one of donegal hidden gems .

M. W.

Great coffee, beautiful location right across from Marble Hill beach. Would highly recommend a visit!

J. M.

The Shack was a welcome sight along a side road I was ordered to take by my three passengers, and it was worth the diversion great coffee, and as my passengers walked off along the strand I had a marvellous ice cream whilst I read my book. Staff very pleasant and attentive.

D. G.

Wow! Excellent coffee, fabulous service, yummy treats and all in the most beautiful setting!

L. D.

Black coffee and flat whites are a little strong but the cappuccino is lovely. Toasties are nice and simple.

C. L.

Good coffee, great view, nice staff. Very chill outdoor area. Watch out for that surfing Australian doctor that likes to talk your ear off.

A. K.

What a beautiful setting with really high quality coffee to boot. Friendly staff and owners and a nice selection of Ice Cream for when the sun pokes it's head out!

(Translated) Disappointed this morning. Good crowd around BUT the Shack was closed. That 's a pity. The best coffee in Donegal. (Original) Díomá orm ar maidin. Slua maith thart ACH bhí an Shack druidte. Trua sin. An caife is fearr i nDún na nGall.
