Coffee. Matcha. Vibes. Repeat.

The Byre sits just off the Wild Atlantic Way — a cosy, must-stop Donegal café and gift shop with brilliant coffee, bright matchas, creamy gelato, and shelves of Irish treasures.

Our Little Gift Shop

Tucked inside The Byre you’ll find shelves full of Donegal treasures and Irish gems. Perfect if you need a souvenir, a thoughtful gift, or just something cute for yourself.

Some of Our Favourites:

Filligan’s of Glenties – jams & chutneys that taste like home
Wild Fuschia Bakehouse – award-winning baking mixes
Love a Little Sauces – caramel sauces that are a perfect treat or gift
Little Mamma’s Gelato – small-batch scoops of happiness
Plus locally made soaps, honey, art prints, books, and plenty more little surprises.

Drink That Hit the Spot

We pour New Kid Coffee, roasted in Letterkenny and whisk up ceremonial-grade matcha straight from Japan — vibrant green, smooth, and no shortcuts.

Not in the mood for the usual? Try our raspberry matcha, spiced iced chai, or go all in with an affogato topped with Little Mamma’s Gelato.

Need a boost? We’re the first in Ireland to serve SHOTT Clean Energy Syrups — — no fizz (unless you want to pair it with Donegal’s Football Special), no junk, just flavour-packed boosters to keep you buzzing in the best way.

Irish Goods, Donegal First

We work with small makers who care about what they do. Some you’ll know, and some you’ll be glad to discover:

– Filligan’s of Glenties – traditional jams, jellies and chutneys

– Wild Fuschia Bakehouse – baked goods from the northwest

Plus soaps, prints, books, honey, and all sorts of good things, handpicked with care
