Nice place, good service and amazing carrot cake

The place is quite small bit really cosy. I've had the soup and the carrot cake and they were both really good ( especially the cake ! )

Cons: Average

Perfectly seasoned

We had the soup of the day which was a Thai carrot and squash soup. Bland soup is boring but this thankfully had the perfect kick to it. The dark bread served with it was good too. We then shared the daily special which was a cauliflower and squash dahl...loved it. Cash only.

This coffee shop is 100% vegetarian with many vegan options for lunch and for pastries. Their chai tea and hot chocolate with vegan marshmallows are amazing! The atmosphere inside is really relaxing and cozy. I love it!

Pros: Différent vegan option, Nice staff, Nice atmosphere

we went there during our daytrip from dublin to the west coast of ireland. found this little restaurant via happy cow. on sundays from 12-4pm they have a vegan brunch with about 4-5 different dishes and one dayly special on the blackboard. we had the hummus salad and the sambo with soup and salad. both were amazing and good portions. super fresh ingedients and yummy taste. as a desert we took the vegan chocolate cookie. all thumbs up for them!!

Pros: vegan brunch, lots of vegan options, outdoor seating

Quality vegan food

Excellent menu. I had the Broccoli, Chickpea and red onion pakora. Nicely seasoned and served with a particularly good mint chutney. Finished with the Pear Bakewell that I’m glad I didn’t share! Really good value too. A real pleasure...

Great food, great coffee, great location

Best soy cappuccino I’ve had in Ireland so far. The roast rosemary roots salad with vegan feta was absolutely delicious as well, I highly recommend it. Breakfast options (served until noon) looked scrumptious too; would not mind coming back for a vegan scramble.

Pros: Great selection of vegan food and sweets, Unique dishes on menu , Terrific coffee

Cons: Limited seating

Disappointed

Came here after seeing great reviews. Asked the girl that was working there about the vegan options and was only advised of oats and a brownie. I chose the brownie and asked for a green tea, my partner asked for a coffee and brownie. We got our cakes which was nice however we didn’t get our drinks and when we left she only remembered about our drinks. Plus when we were just about to leave we seen a couple get the vegan eggs, pudding and brown bread which was the reason we went there but we were told we could only get the cakes and scones as they didn’t serve anything else till 12 which was in two hours.

A delight

The last time I visited The Light House for lunch I got the vegetable tart, served with salad and a sweet beetroot sauce. I was delighted with the presentation and taste. I can't wait to go back again. As a vegan I was pleased to see that all vegan options were clearly labelled on the menu. Vegan desserts were also available.

Note: I've been a few times and the cafe fills up quickly, so be sure to come early for lunch (12pm) to guarantee a seat!

Little cosy place

The Lighthouse Café is the perfect spot if you are looking for Vegan meal. They have lovely soup of the day or a stew and several other options available. The space is very cosy and that creates a good atmosphere. The cakes aren't all vegan but usually there are one or two vegan options.
Great place to visit. For lunch go early :)

Charming and vegan-friendly

The Light House offers several vegan options, including a delicious chocolate cheesecake and a fine soy cappuccino. There are tables both inside and out, and on my visit al fresco diners were rewarded with a pleasant accordion concert courtesy of a nearby busker. Service was warm and helpful (order at the counter and they'll bring it to the table).

Enjoy!

Tasty and generous vegan options

Even though the seating options were limited, we were offered a table suitable for the five of us.
In the menu, there were plenty vegan options, including deserts. All of our dishes were tasty and prices were reasonable.
The only con was the fact that the service was a bit slow.

Pros: Lots of options, Tasty food, Generous servings

My new favourite

I love this place. It is small and charming the staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is small but still has a good selection. But the food is so fresh and tasty and the portions are perfect. The desserts are gorgeous. I always feel like I have treated myself when I eat here.

Pros: Central , Fresh ingredients , Good prices.
