If you’re in Killarney or passing through, Boardwalk is definitely worth a visit. Jason is so knowledgeable about coffee and is great to chat to about the topic. He can even give you recommendations for coffee spots in other areas if you’re doing an Irish road trip. The batch brew is great and made with care. A great choice for a takeaway cup if you’re heading off to explore the Ring of Kerry.

The best coffee shop in Killarney. Quality ingredients, amazing coffees, and the yummiest homemade protein balls. The owner and staff are also so kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 experience will be going back.

Best coffee in all of Killarney. Baristas are great for a chat as well. Great beans from Ethiopia for the cold brew. I’m sure the Colombian beans they have for the hot coffee is equally great. Baked goods are also top notch. Small kiosk but packs a big punch

Absolutely loved my visit to Boardwalk Coffee Shop! The latte was smooth, creamy, and had a perfectly balanced coffee flavor — just the way it should be. The matcha was rich, vibrant, and so well prepared — no bitterness, just pure, delicate flavor. Big thanks to Olga for the amazing service! If you're looking for top-quality drinks, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back!

Best cup of coffee in Killarney by far! Jason made me a beautiful Colombia pour over via V60, I’m very very grateful someone in town is making pour overs and aeropress coffees. I ended up purchasing a nice bag of Rwanda beans per Jason’s recommendation and am super excited to try it . He was super knowledgeable about the coffee bean origins and harvesting methods and was an overall joy to talk to as a coffee enthusiast.
