"My friend and I found this place on Tripadvisor and were encouraged by the positive reviews, so decided to drive the journey of an hour from our village to try out the tea and cakes. We arrived at about 2.00 p.m. and the selection of cakes was very poor only a few things to choose from and only a few slices of what was left and none looked particularly pleasant. Perhaps they 'd been sliced by a crazed axeman with a blunt axe, they certainly were rather unappealingly presented. We had the oddly named, Hummingbird cake, which was not too bad, but of course, was devoid of hummingbirds, but the milk for our tea had black bits in it, the cups and saucers likewise. Overall, memorable for all the wrong reasons. There was no toilet, but the staff said we could use theirs. My friend said it wasn 't very clean and only used it because we had a long trip home. Incidentally, this place doesn 't appear to be disabled friendly couldn 't see anyway a wheelchair user or person with mobility problems could access the interior and they certainly wouldn 't be able to manage to WC. Won 't be going again and wouldn 't recommend it."

Steve
beautiful little caffe with local cakes and savouries. antique business was ok, I was looking for old lamps
Jasmine
beautiful coffee, but the cakes should die. adjacent to the castle park, so a gentle walk will work up an appetit.

This is gem of a place. All kinds of great items on 4 floors. Something for everyone if you like antiques and pre loved items. Stopped for a cream tea while visiting. The toilet was a tad scary hence the 4 stars because I lived the rest. Worth a visit!

We recently had lunch in the tea room at Clare Antiques and it was a very good experience indeed. I had the best cheese scone I have ever tasted, the texture, taste and yumminess if that's a word were fantastic. My wife tried the chicken soup which we were told was home made, like the scones, by the very able cook and was declared to be excellent.

The Vintage Tearoom at Clare Antiques Centre did us proud. There was a large table just outside the entrance big enough to accommodate our extended family with comfortable chairs and the dog was welcome too. We were greeted with traditional Irish hospitality and nothing was too much trouble. The waitress service was first class and attentive; details included fresh flowers on the table, a beautifully eclectic mix of cups and saucers, and everything was spotless. The food was hot, delicious and well presented, and polite enquiries made to ensure we had everything we wanted.

Quite a while since the last visit, so we thought it worthwhile seeing what's new in the Country Park, and of course any visit to Clare has to include the Antiques Centre. Spent an hour browsing the amazing collections of collectibles. Lots of changes in evidence. Great place for Christmas shopping never know what you might find. After all that we had two cups of Earl Grey in the on site tea shop. My wife had the most delicious home made cake, and I had the bacon roll deal which at the price must be the best deal in town. Friendly knowledgeable and helpful staff. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.

next to a large antique shop over several etagens there is a pleasant tee room with indoor/outside seating, on mix and match furniture on mix and unmatched scurry. the charming young staff team is professional, polite and diligent. the light snack menu is supplemented by specials, although it is easy to miss this (as we did) because the special table is actually a mirror. we had a flat bag, a brie and a roasted sandwich of grapes, each served with a good fresh koleslawe, a dressed salate and a crispy crusty. tea and homemade cake was also very satisfying, tasty and good value. if they use the main parking space in malting lane, whose entrance is directly adjacent, is not fucked away. dog ref...

We spent a lovely afternoon walking around the Priory and the streets of Clare and returned back to the car park, but passing this 'Cafe ' seeing a free table next to the road, we decided to stop and have a cup of tea. i went to the car to get some water for our dog and my wife said she would order. i returned after a few minutes and neither of the two waitresses had taken our order yet. One was clearing away the table next to us and I tried to make eye contact, but she looked over and went inside. The other waitress started dismantling a board next to our table, still didn 't acknowledge us until my wife asked whether we had to go inside to order. She was told flatly 'we 've stopped taking...
