W. Fahey in Clonakilty

07/06/2025: We dropped in for a coffee and a pastry but ended up choosing a cheese muffin as it looked delicious—and it lived up to our expectations. We also purchased a potato sourdough which has a hint of nutmeg (a German influence). The member of staff was very friendly and passionate about his craft and the produce. He also speaks fluent German, which came in handy as one client seemed to only speak German. If we lived locally we would shop here on a daily basis - but only after joining the local gym. We arrived just before 9am on a Saturday and customers were soon queuing down out the door, which is a great endorsement of the quality of the produce. Great coffee too. We also purchased a slice of coffee and walnut cake and apple strudel to take away. Both were very good - the strudel wasn't too sweet and was lightly spiced, and the coffee and walnut cake was extremely light, sweet - but not sickly and very delicious. Don't miss this place.

29/04/2025: Small bakery with pastries and cafe. Very warm and friendly proprietors.
