I stopped in Tralee this morning and asked a lovely tall young lady where I could find a coffee shop, a good one if possible. She told me about Maddens ,even offered to walk me to it. I found it easy with her directions. Thank you so much. It wasn't a good coffee shop It was a great coffee shop, one of the best. Well worth a finding on your trips to kerry. Great coffee, sweet things and a great social space. Keep up the great work.

CoffeeFriendly staffDesserts & cakesTasty foodAtmosphere
It's the most unassuming place from the outside with the look of an old school pub and has the most gorgeous decor inside. There's a great seating area out the back to sit and enjoy your coffee too.
Staff are super friendly and coffee is delish. Also, try the biscoff brownie! 🤤
Situated in the heart of Tralee. Busy spot with Friendly service. I had an ice latte & a white chocolate & peanut brownie, very tasty! Dog friendly. Great music and atmosphere with merchandise for sale. Outdoor sheltered courtyard. Really enjoyed my visit and up there with one of the nicest coffee spots I’ve been too
