If it just wouldn't be that far- I'd be there every Day !

the best scones ever. the service is fantastic, homemade baked goods everyday. very warm and cozy in the winter. 100% recommended!

Lovely place , wonderful staff and yummy food! Thanks!

Traditional menu and atmosphere felt cosy. Great spot highly recommend visiting after the belleek tour or even before.

Beautiful, cosy atmosphere with fantastic food! Loved the chicken and pesto wrap, although all of the food served looked amazing! Coffee and service was great also.

Such a cosy little coffee shop,and staff so friendly.Went for afternoon snack,had bacon,caramelised red onion , mozzarella cheese wrap.It was absolutely delightful.. Soup of the day was so delicious and would highly recommend BLT. All home made baking and staff were so friendly...Would highly recommend...

While The Thatch has been a fixture on Main Street for a long time, when we visited mid-November 2023 it was under new management. On the first visit we each had a coffee and a scone. The coffee was delicious and the scone was everything I expected the home-made scone to be - juicy raisins, firm yet moist texture. It so happened that we were back in Belleek the next day, and we sampled the soup and sandwich combo. The vegetable soup was the ideal soup for the stormy weather and the sandwich was really fresh. We again had coffee and a wee dessert! The plates were bare when we left! Wishing the Thatch continued success!

Popped in on Monday morning as a first port of call on a flying visit home. A family run business - the food was delicious, the service first class and a wonderful cosy setting to watch the world go by. Would recommend to anyone passing through Belleek. Not to missed.

Amazing fresh home cooked food. Blueberry scones were delicious. Lovely atmosphere and such wonderful friendly staff.

We stopped off here by chance, and what a wonderful surprise it was! We had sandwiches, panini, Pecan pie and Pear and almond Tart. All were homemade and delicious. We were made so welcome. We all wished we lived near there because we would be in a lot! They are also dog friendly and dropped Ted down water and ham and chicken much his delight. What a lovely gesture. Can't say enough about this place. You have to try this place.

The atmosphere is lovely and historic BUT the service has like the food a lot to be desired, They serve breakfast that looked fine , but the food we were. finally served after a very long time was a bread roll still frozen in the middle plus a lukewarm bland soup , coffee that visually looked very dark and only warm this was not a busy time

Great cafe in ballek would really recommend

Decent little coffee shop in Belleek with a good menu. Good fry with fresh ingredients, decent toasties and good coffee. Well worth a visit, only negative was the service being a little slow.

Lovely spot for fresh food. Good selection to choose from, reasonably priced and staff friendly.

So cute place, you can feel to be in an other time, in the old time, is like to jump back to the past, to have your lovely and tasty food, with some tea or a nice warm coffee. Staff really friendly and smiling!😃 Italian coffee, espresso italiano. 😋

Went for lunch, had a gorgeous panini and soup combo, then a stunning warmed scone with jam and cream. The dessert was amazing too, we had a selection of warmed pecan pie, chocolate fudge, apple tart and carrot cake and it was absolutely delicious. Well worth visiting and is a perfect location as a mid point on our way down to Enniscrone. In love with the decorations! So pretty and quaint. The service was flawless, coffee divine and i could not fault it.

Food delicious. Beautiful inside and out. All of the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Our dog was welcome too 👌👍

Oh my goodness what a delightful little gem .. Hospitality was second to none so accommodating to my little riley. Staff so welcoming x

Excellent atmosphere, service and food. Wonderful little spot, highly recommended.

The Thatch is a must if your visiting Belleek it's like stepping back in time. We had breakfast and the food was really lovely served by friendly staff

A Truly Beautiful Experience. A quaint coffee shop with a warm cosy feel. Lovely friendly staff in adorable retro aprons. An extensive menu, and happy for diners to adapt items. Had lovely wraps, panini sandwiches and delicious hearty soup. Good selection of homemade sweet treats. Will definitely be back.

Great little cafe, nice tea and buns.

A really lovely wee cafe. Luckily we didn’t have to sit in the back room coz there was no atmosphere there. Front room only seems to have tables that fit 4 people so if all 6 of us were there that’s be a problem. Food was tasty and tasted like traditional home cooked food!

Beautiful cafe, great food and coffee, lovely staff!

Find on What 3 Words ///digests.pointed.breads (Near Ballyshannon, Ulster) There are a few steps into the cafe and the door is manual. It’s like you are stepping into someone’s lounge on one side there is a big stone fireplace. The place has a cosy atmosphere. Previous visits I’ve had a toasted sandwich which is served in a bowl with some crisp, I’ve also sampled the cakes. Food is always tasty and the coffee is really smooth. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. Debit cards are accepted. I pop in here at least once week.

Lovely to get a place where gluten free scones and pastries and sandwiches are made fresh. Will definitely visit again. Friendly staff.

Lovely home made food, absolutely delicious 😋 😍

We arrived with our special needs daughter and her assistance dog, and clearly the manager had an aversion to animals. Told us she had no tables, then a fellow diner offered us hers, as she was leaving. The manager didn’t engage with us as we took our seats, did not make us welcome. We felt extremely uncomfortable . There was no eye contact, no welcome, so we decided to leave and told her our reasons. She was discourteous and rude to us even though our daughter and her dog both wore disability identification. Shocking experience, diabolical treatment. We left saddened that in this day and age disabled people can be treated in such a way.

What a lovely little place to have breakfast or lunch. It is homely and quaint and the staff is wonderful and attentive. We each had a special; a baked potato with beef stew for one and a prawn platter for the other. And a pot of tea for 2. We weren't disappointed. Perfect portions and very tasty. Highly recommend

Lovely staff. Good food. Excellent service. Value for money.

Very good food. And very helpful and friendly staff. You won't be disappointed.

Waited for 20mins to order,then waited for another 20mins, and eventually had to leave without getting our coffee and scones. Very disappointed 😞

Love this place x Food Amazing, Lovely coffee and the staff are so welcoming and friendly x

With so many place to have a lunch in this world, here , “The Thatch” is our family’s favorite place. Many many happy memories & delicious lunches we had in this little cottage. Most highly recommended to all who visits beautiful Ireland .

After our bad breakfast experience at lusty beg we went for breakfast twice here. Good very tasty , staff friendly & accommodating.

Lovely food. Very friendly staff.

The feel of the place is so cosy, I absolutely love the old style feel that's right through the place. The wee lady who served us (jade I think her name is) was very welcoming with a smile and completely friendly. We got 2 frys tea and coffee and all was lovely. Will be calling into this wee spot more often when I'm in Belleek. Another plus is was decently priced more so then other places I've been too.

Excellent food on 2 occasions. Girls were unbelievably pleasant and courteous. Just as we would expect from our favourite county. Perhaps the owners of our next encounter whilst staying overnight at Rushin House could do with some work experience in this excellent coffee shop. With particular emphasis on basic good manners and welcoming manner. I could not recommend this coffee shop highly enough as we stopped over in our motorhome.Thank yout

Lovely small breakfast,brilliant staff very efficient & helpful

Had a lovely breakfast here today , lovely friendly staff , good service and good food , had come to belleek to see the pottery but not open on a Saturday yet so decided to go for breakfast . Will be back .

Over many Years have visited the Thatch including Friends from Canada. Always great Greeting, Service food and ambiance Today My wife and I visited for first time in over 12 Months due to Pandemic. Considering it was quite Busy, the greeting was basic, the Service Slow, the Food was Cool, my wife's Tuna Toasty came with side salad with Jo Knive or Fork. Upon requesting those they were supplied but with the comment they weren't normally supplied with that dish. Really, how do you eat a salad without cutlery? With your fingers. Hopefully just a Glitch. One more opportunity to redeem

Good food at a reasonable price.

Excellent Service .Extremely Friendly Staff and good Food

We came here to have some soup after a walk, it was delicious. The place feels warm and busy during lunch time. It's a nice place to visit specially if you get a window seat. If you like traditional view you can see lots in here. If I'm not mistaken I saw an antique fishing lamp beside where we eat. On the opposite corner there was a cute decor of crabs but I'm not so sure if that was wooden or not.

Food was so good here and a beautiful establishment. A lovely little quirky place and staff very friendly. I got the soup, beef and Guinness stew and chocolate square. I can't wait to go back and visit again soon. .

Fantastic quality food, easily the best Pannni ever in a lovely kitchen style setting

Lovely cafe. Very professional staff. Good food and reasonably priced. Real old time homely feel to the place. A comfortable place for coffee and a chat.

Friendly staff, lovely food and fantastic location!

Great little cafe, very quaint inside and delicious well made toasted sandwiches.

Popped in on our way back from holiday. Just love this place. Food fabulous; paninis are our favorite as they are made from scratch. Staff are so friendly and they always have an irish welcome for us. Thanks again for a fabulous lunch. 😊

Friendly and the food is yummy. The chef is sound also.

Stopped here on 14 September and couldn't believe how bad the food was. Ordered a combo - toasted cheese, onion, tomato sandwich and Vegetable Soup. I don't know what bread they use but the sandwich quarters were tiny. The soup, when it arrived, was nearly cold and totally bland. Then we had to wait on our cutlery. It was like eating green water!! I wouldn't recommend at all and I certainly will not be revisiting.

Lovely desserts and coffee. A lovely spot to have a break from your journey

Brilliant place, really friendly people. Service with a smile and great, fresh, home cooked food.

Lovely little spot. We dropped in while out on a bicycle ride. Had coffees and tray bake. The take both Euro and Sterling. Nice friendly staff. Very clean and good value for money

Lovely food very friendly staff

Love this place and scones are to die for

Quaint place and very friendly staff and great food

Quaint little spot for a coffee, lunch or breakfast. Baked potatoes are tasty and the coffees are good.

Lovely decoration and clean place. Food was nice, tasty and well presented. The staff were very friendly, specially the woman who attended us ( could be the owner), she went the extra mile with every one that arrived to the place!!. Definitely we will go back and we recommend it.

Lovely wee hidden gem food was lovely and service 👍

It's lovely and friendly. I love the breakfasts🥰

Lovely cafe in Belleek village with outdoor seating in a garden courtyard at the back. It's the first time I've been here and I'll pop in for a breakfast next time. Friendly staff and a relaxing place.

The friendlies and most helpful surf shop you could ever wish for

Lovely place , helpful staff, beautiful meal

Had been there before last year, so having our daughter and grandson with us for the day we decided this was a must to go to for lunch and it didnt disappoint excellent value for money. Lovely food, really nice tea and a great atmosphere. Looking forward to next years visit.

Quaint and original. Good coffee and lovely scones. Food menu looked inviting and home cooked.

Staff not that friendly or attentive to customers, decor very nice

We called in to The Thatch early one morning for breakfast. Beautiful and top marks for putting the beans in a ramekin. Loads of toast and a large pot of tea. Super service and good Covid monitoring.

Beautiful wee spot. Always enjoy eating here. Everything nicely presented.

Coffee look warm but great tasting. ORIGINAL house blueberry cheese cake, was served warm which is a new experience for me, one which I don't won't to repeat. Ice cream which was served with cake was OK. On the positive side our server was wearing a face visor and did get our names and contacts numbers and Sanitiser was available.

This is a great spot for breakfast, lunch or a cuppa and home made scone. The cafetière of coffee is good and the staff great. This is our regular and we’ve been impressed at how well they have adapted to the current situation.

Friendly staff, good price for food. Breakfast was very nice. Very happy.

This is a lovey little place however we were there for well over two hours having just popped in to get a light bite to eat.

Popped in here for a light bite on the way through. We had soup and a cake and the soup was lovely, it tasted just like my nans homemade soup. Service was good and the cafe was lovely and authentic. I was also able to breastfeed here (with a blanket covering) with no problems.

The Thatch is one of my regular weekly stops. The sandwiches and desserts are simply fantastic. Service is excellent and very friendly. Even in these times of Covid the Thatch has taken great measures to safely accommodate diners in the intimate space. The only, and definitely only thing that is a negative is the coffee, and I mean this entirely in the spirit of constructive criticism. It's often sour which can be the result of under-extracting or too much of a course grind. On the milk side of things they often overheat/burn the milk. The sound of repeated plunging of the frothing wand is another indicator of bad coffee making technique and result is large foam bubbles rather than the micro-bubble foam necessary in a perfectly made latte. If they brush up on their coffee making skills (hint: bring in a professional barista to train) then my rating will definitely go up to a five. Overall, we love the Thatch and it's merry crew and will be coming back time and time again!

We enjoyed a window seat at this delightful cafe this morning. The paninis were perfect and the coffee tasty an boiling hot - just like we like it. Service came with a smile and we will be sure to return to this great little place!

This is a beautiful, and quaint coffee house. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and always smiling. A homely business, and very clean. Highly recommended, if you want a break for a tea, or coffee.

We called in here for coffee and scones. Hadn't had a decent scone out anywhere since Covid started and this raspberry and white chocolate was worth the wait. Decent cappuccino as well, so good I had a second one. Lovely friendly service and spotlessly clean, great wee spot.

Tea, coffee and apple pie...handy spot in Belleek

Great fined lovely friendly staff and helpful good service overall. Good value food and coffees were lovely definitely visit again

Awesome paninis and chocolate cake.

I had the best full Irish breakfast for only 8 euro Great Central location with very friendly start in a lovely location

Lovely food very pleasant staff

Very nice lunch in pleasant surroundings

Welcoming and relaxing place to chill out.

Just called in for a cup of coffee but succumbed to the temptation of the delicious brunch breakfast. Straight from the stove, hot, succulent and tasty food presented by welcoming and friendly staff. This is a beautiful and genuinely authentic setting with a very pleasing range of local fare and so well priced. Thank you, Ladies.

Don't miss this Jem of a place. For atmosphere, food and great friendly staff, it's a must visit place..... The Apple pie is excellent.....

Great scones, cake and traybakes. Irish coffee was terrible though!

A lovely homely place , warm n cosy n friendly staff , lovely tasty food 😊

Lovely breakfast as usual, with plenty of gluten free options

The Thatch was excellent,great warmth good food and ambiance. Service very good

Stopped in for sandwich, good menu, friendly staff, cosy spot, got a sandwich which was ok, crisps were gone off. Tea was good. Not sure I'd return.

Always happy with the food at this location home bakeing tasty cosy and staff very nice pay a visit when in the area

Either in the lovely sun, or on a cold rainy day, The Thatch is a welcoming place to be. Good coffee, good scones, and especially delicious apple crumble, I've come here several times when I needed a break from everything else. The waitresses are all lovely too, and have always made me feel at home, even when I've just relaxed there for a few hours.

The food is amazing. I always get the soup, its so tasty and you can tell its homemade which makes me feel very at home in that wee cottage. Its such a cosy wee environment just like 'thee olde days'.

This is the cutest little family fun café. We visited 3 times in 4 days. You have to try the scones!

Dropped in here on route from Dundalk to Donegal, looked very small and we expected it to be empty, man it was packed, great atmosphere and lovely food, ended up chatting to a local about Motorbikes for an hour, lovely little cafe, hard working staff and lovely food and drink. Glad we found it. Plenty of parking in the High Street.
