The Country Store catered our Communion party and I cannot praise their food and service highly enough. All our guests were super impressed with how delicious the food was, especially the chicken curry, lasagne and the cakes and desserts. Will definitely be ordering from here again, absolutely delighted with everything. Thank you so much!!

I cant praise these people enough its hard enough to find a coffee shop outside the cities here, and here is a place that is as high quality as the best There is indoor and outdoor seating if you want lunch The cream donuts and eclairs are fresh and beautiful (pretty sure theyre made on site because they dont look like the bought in ones you see everywhere else) and a lovely selection of cakes and scones and lovely coffee freshly made by their own baristas (oh and homemade gourmet sausage rolls are awesome too) This shop is well worth the drive , knowing they were good i drove 10 miles from a job i was on to get a donut and coffee and some lunch going their direction rather than the city The few other rural shops you do find usually have a captive audience by virtue of being far out and thus don’t try very hard. But - this coffee shop/cafe (restaurant quality food) is an exception- they have maintained high standards for years and years , a decade at least as far as i can recall, which is not easy (so many startups just end up going downhill after a year or two).The Lady who runs it obviously is a dedicated and customer oriented person and is a true asset to the area in a world where the customer doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Excellent excellent excellent thankyou Ladies keep up the great work

Used the Country Store to cater for a staff retirement party. Wonderful variety of sandwiches and hot finger food options. The owner was so accommodating, and the food was even delivered to us. Cannot recommend enough.

In the nice sleepy village of Broadford, Co. Clare. Great place for breakfast or dinner, even take away. Fantastic selection, everyone is catered for. Nice clean cafe. Staff are lovely. The prices are reasonable.
