Great good, great staff but you have to get there early!
I use to go there, the iced coffee is really nice, they make their own syrup. Really quiet place and lovely food.
Great food... Organic at its best. Cafe cakes, so good, . A place apart in rural North Dublin.
If you care about food, do visit this incredible family farm which supplies top class in season vegetables. Jenny gave us a very informative tour through tunnels and fields. No chemicals / sprays or fertilizers are used. We tasted some veg from the tunnels, crunchy fresh gherkins and mange tout were delicious. At the end of the tour we were treated to refreshments with home made courgette cake and scones in a tunnel decorated with beautiful flowers. You can buy produce in their farm shop along with delicious rolls and cakes. Would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Jenny 👍🏼
Always such a treat to go there. The food at the cafe was excellent: super tasty sandwich and focaccia; the slice of cake was incredible; the Americano I had was gorgeous. Lovely selection of delicatessen in the shop. Loved it.
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up

Visited McNally Farm on a Sunday. I came across it on social media. It didn’t disappoint. There’s no visible signs advertising it. It’s literally only known about via word of mouth and social media. The farm shop has a lot of items available, unique items that are in season. I got a lot of goodies, I have to rave about their Guinness brown bread and sourdough crackers with their own marmalade. It’s a foodie lovers paradise. You wouldn’t be disappointed. They’ve a lot of in season, freshly produced organic vegetables. If you’re near the airport it’s worth the small drive there or go to on a Sunday drive. They’ve a horse box with coffee and sweet treats. Underrated, a fabulous place to go and staff are lovely!
Fantastic farm shop with a lovely bakery serving freshly made pastries and breads. Just a note that all sandwiches are meat-free but you wouldn’t even miss it once you try these sandwiches! The farm shop only sell produce grown on their farm and the shelf products are all Irish businesses!
Excellent Organic food shop, it also has an incredible selection of locally sourced produce which I love! And a lovely dog friendly cafe next door! With great coffee and amazing treats! We love visiting here once a week.
