The Potter's Hand Cafe

This is by far one of our favorite places to come in Ireland. As soon as we fly in and land in Shannon we drive directly to the Potter’s Hand Café for lunch. We sit, relax, read our books, enjoy the food, chat with locals, and the owners/workers are just lovely. The food is homemade. My husband and I are vegan/vegetarians and it’s super easy to eat here. We highly recommend coming here to this nice cozy little restaurant. The best!

It's not a cafe, it's an Irish Tale.... Update to my last year's review, this place keeps surprising me in the best ways ever. I went with family early yesterday and I enjoyed being the first there (that's why no one in photos ) and I enjoyed a great cup of tea made with so much love. And the art ceramic collection was beyond imagination, I couldn't resist and bought three pieces for my study room... the staff are gorgeous Irish ladies that made my day with their kindness and sweetness... thier excellence is consistent they also provide art pottery lessons please continue to read my last year's review below... Last year, I went with family and friends to this lovely cafe based on a recommendation from a friend, oh my goodness, what a place. I don't know how to start. Wow is a tiny word to describe it. I was amazed to the point that I forgot to take photos of the food. The place is very cosy, comfortable, and full of art. It's a cafe that you will enjoy food and coffee, but your soul will be satisfied with the art and books around. I got mushrooms soup and some sandwiches so delicious and made with love. Then I got a cup of cappuccino and it was a decent cup, Italian top class quality. Then I couldn't resist the cakes, I had a jam sponge cake and brownies. My friend ate three pieces of cake. I just couldn't believe how great the food was. The place was so clean and the couch beside the fire was magical. There was a bookshelf full of a big selection of books. Art paintings on the walls, very positive messages everywhere. Then, the two ladies running the place, two Irish angels, very friendly and helpful. They welcomed us and they made sure that we were well served. I felt like I am in their home, not a cafe. If you are in Ireland or justing visiting, then you must go there, a lifetime experience. Next time, I will take photos for sure.

What a lovely cosy cafe! We had lunch here midweek. My husband had a tuna melt panini and I had the vegan special (diced peppers, onions, tomatoes and relish ) on gluten free bread. Both were delicious! We had excellent oat milk cappuccinos too. The cake display was very impressive (and they had a few GF options) but we didn’t have the time to linger We have to pop back!!

An extremely cosy, very funky tastefully decorated local small cafe shop. Great tasting food, made using a carefully selected local ingredients. Friendly kind staff always! Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended to visit!

A hidden gem filled with warmth, kindness, and flavour. The Potter’s Hand Café is the perfect spot to relax with a lovely coffee and homemade treats. The food was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was peaceful and inviting — you can really feel the care and heart behind everything here. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience all the more special. A beautiful place to pause, recharge, and feel at home. Highly recommend!

Nice little homely restaurant. The atmosphere is cute even when the interior is a bit mixed. The food was really good and the staff was very friendly. Was a nice experience.

Delicious coffee and really good paninis! Definitely worth a stop if you fancy some coffee.
