The Watermill Cafe

The Mill Bakery opened in the 1840s, we are proud to still serve delicious freshly baked goods every day. The Watermill Café is renowned for its tempting selection of scones and cakes. Tarts and traybakes are our specialty.

Our visitor’s favourite dishes are stuffed with local ingredients. We have a tasty range of soups that change daily and are complemented by the Mills Homemade Brown Bread. Enjoy a hearty baked potato, homemade fishcakes, an all-day breakfast, or a flavourful salad. We offer you a wide range of sandwiches, light bites, and kids’ meals.

Relax and remember, we are a community Café with a no-rush charm and warm welcoming atmosphere. Feel free to request outdoor dining, escape to the Willow Terrace overlooking the Community Garden, sip a glass of wine with your meal, or simply indulge in a hot chocolate or hot tea of your choice.

What Our Visitors Say

“Incredible experience!!! Worth the train journey out from Dublin. Only wished I had more time to soak it all in. Highly recommend!!”

Debbie

“The staff here were brilliant, and the tour was fantastic. The wind and water Mills are amazingly kept and maintained. We were only in Dublin for a day, but I'm so glad we did this!”

S Dowdall

“Very interesting place with friendly, informative guide. Beautiful views of Skerries. Well restored & maintained historic structures with demonstrations of equipment. Also attractive & spacious cafe as well as gift shop with good quality items at fair prices.”

Carol Kiely

The visit was great, it was worth the detour! Patrick was a great guide, very smiling, who put himself at our level and spoke more slowly so that we understood the explanations.

Meltem

Excellent local attraction.
Having done the tour more than once I highly recommend them and there is always something new to learn.
The cafe is great as well.

Simon

We did an impromptu visit having seen the Mills on our way to the Harbour. They offer guided tours lasting about 50 mins. Our tour guide Gavin was really knowledgable and full of local stories. The Mills have been very well restored, great craftsmanship. There are many different rooms in the water mill and walking to each Mill gives you great views of the town and seaside. So glad we decided to go. There is also a lovely terrace and indoor cafe and artisan shops too.
