We were passing through and needed some caffeine and a bathroom break. I can't believe we almost drove right by, we are so lucky to have stopped at Coffee Life! The mocha was AMAZING, the sausage roll - so good but let me tell you about this carrot cake... even if you don't like carrot cake, give it a chance and if you love carrot cake, you'll be ruined for life as no carrot cake will ever come close to the incredible experience your mouth with have from just one bite.

Response from the owner

Thank you Jenny. We are so pleased that you spotted Coffee Life and were able to visit us today. Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the Mocha, Sausage Roll and Carrot Cake so much.

Such a nice cafe to sit and watch the world go by. So welcomed by a lovely lady who couldn’t do more to help us. Brought my elderly mother with walker and has great wheelchair access ability. She loved their apple tart and I devoured the carrot cake. Delicious deep flavoured coffee. Highly recommend

Response from the owner

Thank you Grainne. So you and your Mom enjoyed your time at Coffee Life. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cakes and coffee too.

Thank you for your suggestion regarding the hand rails.

stunning little place ♥️ my husband mentioned it to me last week after he was here, so we went this week. the staff are so friendly and welcoming. the coffee is absolutely gorgeous and the toastie was the best toastie i’ve ever had. the desserts were beautiful too, the lemon drizzle cake was perfect. the atmosphere was lovely and the place is so clean and pretty. the cafe has a little play area for very young kids, which i thought was a lovely touch. myself & my husband will be back next week, it’s worth the 80 minute round trip. thank you so much, i hope Coffee Life absolutely thrives 🩷

Response from the owner
