Hugo’s Bakery in Lahinch

21/07/2025: My wife and I just spent 2.5 days in the County Clare region near the cliffs of Moher. On the recommendation of our accommodations host, we decided to try Dodi. Be advised that depending on the time of day there may be a bit of a wait. There’s but a handful of tables, but usually the wait wasn’t more than 10-15 minutes as people move in and out pretty quickly. First impressions were that the staff were all super nice and friendly, and wanted to make sure we were taken care of. As soon as you’re seated they bring some menus offer you a craft of water and say they’ll be back to take your order, and surely they do. My wife and I got the eggs over greens and added the bacon, and the eggs were perfectly poached, and the bacon was so tender but at the same time crispy and so good. I love Irish bacon! We also ordered lattes and cappuccinos and we must say they make the best we’ve had in Ireland thus far. We’re originally from Seattle, so that’s high marks!! Now, in my opinion the star of the show was the scone with butter and raspberry jam! I think I could seriously live off of them! They are perfectly crumbly and soft, and the butter is amazing, paired with locally crafted raspberry jam. Service and food, everything was top notch and so good; that we repeated it the NEXT day! My only small gripe is… it’s a sauna in there. Anyway, if you’re in town, do yourself the favor and go to Dodi, maybe even go back the next day!
