Did you get a taste of the Wild Atlantic Way this summer?
If so, no doubt you'll already be planning and researching what part of it you want to hit up for your next staycay. If you haven't, spoiler alert, it's a route that will take you to some of the most beautiful points the west coast of Ireland has to offer and is not to be missed. And, if you're anything like the rest of the population you've probably come out of lockdown with an even more intense coffee addiction than ever, so your love language will be frantically searching for cafes to hit up wherever your travels take you. We get it, and have taken it upon ourselves to compile the ultimate guide to coffee along the Wild Atlantic Way. No doubt this list will grow and grow, but here are a few unmissable spots from Donegal to Cork and every county in between to get us started.
