We had checked out of the Shipquay Hotel and were in the Craft Village to pick up some knickknacks before heading off to Galway on the next stop of our journey. We came across Ivy Gate Coffee House, which my wife and I felt we needed to order some tasty beverages first. A cute location, with indoor and outdoor seating that comprises a nice local charm, we enjoyed our experience at Ivy Gate where I ordered a tasty milkshake. Whenever I return to Derry, I'll have to order one of the coffee beverages for sure, at least to have the opportunity to sit and take in the surroundings a little more. If you're in Derry, you should check out Ivy Gate, nestled between Shipquay and Magazine Streets, especially, if you like shopping for craft goods and want a good pick-me-up. read more
