We had an amazing breakfast. Very friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommend and looking forward to visiting again.

Always a treat and a pleasure to visit Shells café, Home cooked , fresh food makes this more than a coffee shop. They have created and continue to have a high standard of care in the menu , staff and products.

Love the place Fish and chips very tasty Very nice staff and a great service. Love to come back every single time. We will see you Sunday again 😊 Can't recommend enough Thanks!

I climbed Knockarea with three friends on Thursday. Following this adventure we arrived at Shells for lunch and wow it didn't disappoint. Three of us had the vegan satay dish and the other person had a ham and chicken salad. Our meals were amazing, really...tasty and very nicely presented. The service was quick by cheerful, chatty staff. Overall, this place is fantastic and I will be back.More

This was my second visit to Shells. We arrived at noon and the waiter accommodated us with ordering from both the breakfast menu and lunch menu to suit everyone’s choices. The staff were very friendly and professional. I took the recommended fish and fried potatoes……...delicious. I loved all the little added details, fried capers, gremolata, beautifully presented and very generous portions. We also had very good coffee, went for a long walk and returned for tea a cake. I would highly recommend Shells, for either brunch or lunch. Our experience being made memorable by the very friendly staff…. especially the young chatty man from Tyrone !More

Having visited many times prior to this words fail me.Jacob,our host was excellent. Our food was not safe to eat,the chips were coloured but not cooked .....still hard .The "cobble" fish was raw and when returned the meal was returned unchanged ,yes fresh piece of...raw fish .Jacob did his best making us feel we would only cause him grief if we returned it again .I told the cashier when he asked "How was your meal?"I said "disgusting "He respond by charging me full price and then said "Are you being sarcastic?" I said no I'm being most sincere. I would not recommend this restaurant unfortunately anymore .€13.50 Cod prices for Cobble!!!!! I feel sick as did my son since .Bitterly bitterly disappointing. Haven been given the chance to redeem yourselves ,you failed miserably.I was very discreet in bringing this to your staff members attention and he was most appreciative of this .I left a tip as the waiter from Glencar who was lovely.More

We love coming to shells and always visit when we’re in the area. I’ve never had a bad meal and love the options for brunch and lunch. Their sweets are unreal too!

Fresh quality ingredients with a slight twist on some of the ingredients. Friendly service in this very busy spot

Delicious tasty food. Very good quality. Poor choices for kids. The cheese toasty would choke an adult it's so dense. Also two of my children ordered soup and were brought full portions Eventhough I said kids soup. Apparently they only give a small soup if...you say mini soup. Soup was again delicious as was the bread. Just awkward serviceMore

I always inform staff unless asked first about allergies some restaurants & cafes are on it straight away no messing with Shells I found like they didn’t care not only did I inform the young lady before ordering & again after I’d ordered she completely...ignored what I’d said as if it didn’t matter when it’s a serious case (in my case it’s literally my life) you can’t afford for it not to but once that had been sorted food was absolutely fantastic, just a shame about customer service.More

Great food especially our favorite, the veggie burger with all the trimmings, it's always full. Parking has been reduced in Strandhill and the traffic congestion in Summer takes from being able to access the cafe. Be warned, if you have the burger, you just might...not have room for one of their lovely desserts! You have been warned!More

Dropped in last week while visiting Strandhill with friends. Lovely cafe & very friendly staff & service. Would highly recommend.
