Carlingford artisan bakery offering sourdough breads, pastries, and excellent coffee. Beautiful stone building with outdoor seating overlooking the lough.
The Bakehouse occupies a beautiful stone building in Carlingford, Co. Louth, producing sourdough bread and pastries alongside coffee in a setting with outdoor seating overlooking Carlingford Lough. The almond croissant and sourdough bread are the items most associated with the bakery, reflecting a genuine artisan baking approach rather than a mass-produced cafe menu. The atmosphere is relaxed and scenic, making it a favourite stop for visitors exploring the Cooley Peninsula and Carlingford village. There is no alcohol served; coffee and tea are the focus alongside the baking. It operates on a walk-in basis with no reservation system, and outdoor seating is weather-dependent.
