Café Jacques in Skerries

Absolute 10/10 in my books. Decor & atmosphere are perfect; such lovely and welcoming staff. Food and coffee didn’t disappoint, and the views of the sea wrap this all up in a perfect way and I can’t wait to come back.

Always a great spot. Food top class always

Great staff and view, Ryan runs a good ship

Lovely bright, cafe with lovely sea views overlooking the south beach. Good value and scrumptious cakes

Lovely lunch overlooking the south strand

The combination of veg soup and pesto sandwich was both affordable and delicious. The mesmerizing view of the Irish Sea, with its various shades of blue, made it worth staying all day long to enjoy the scenery and chill vibes 🏝️

The place itself is lovely. Big windows overlooking the sea. Staff is also very friendly. It was our first time there. We ordered a full Irish breakfast (14.50 €). The food, consisting of two sausages and two rashers, white and black pudding, an egg and a hash brown, and beans were okay but the whole breakfast turned out to be only a half full Irish breakfast. Important parts like mushrooms and tomato were missing, and normally, one gets two slices of toast, not only one. For that price, I would have expected a real full breakfast. The tea, however, was good and strong. Now, I wasn't totally impressed (considering the price), but we will give it another try sometime and eat something else.

Placed our order and was waiting quite a while. I noticed that a table of 4 and a further table of 5 all who ordered after us were served their meals and no sign of ours! When I drew this to the attention of the waitress she was really apologetic and explained that the order wasn't placed with the kitchen. She handled the situation very well by informing us that we only need pay 50% of the bill and also offered a complimentary beverage. When the food arrived it was lukewarm at best. At this stage we were too embarrassed to say anything or send it back! All in all a most disappointing experience.

Breakfast was plentiful and tasty

Experience was not too bad but would not rate it as a 5 out of 5. One notable issue was the excessive noise level. I believe the ceiling or some other factor related to soundproofing may be the cause. In contrast, when we visited another location, the noise level was significantly lower. Perhaps background music could be introduced, or there may be other measures that could be taken to address this issue. The overall atmosphere felt chaotic, as if one were entering a large call center where everyone is speaking simultaneously.
