COFFEESHOP MEETS MUSEUM
The Stormy Cup Story
Welcome to ‘The Stormy Cup’ – a café that brings history to life! Immerse yourself in the unique charm of a historical museum and discover the past of our city. Surrounded by over 1,000 fascinating photos, pictures, documents, posters and other memorabilia, you can experience history up close, paired with delicious food.
We always had a passion for history and always felt it is better to share interesting historic items with the world rather than stash them away.
Some items you will find in our little “Donaghadee Museum”:
- The Original Donaghadee Harbor Act from 1820 (Royal decree) to build a harbor fit for Royal Mail shipping.
- Old maps, as far back as 500 years.
- Sports Memorabilia from Football, Rugby, Golf and more
- The last banknote that was printed to be valid in all of Ireland.
- The largest collection of original Irish Travel Posters.
- Lots of Donaghadee history going hundreds of years back.
- Old Railway items
- Items related to crossing the North Channel, the sinking of the famous MS Princess Victoria, car races that happened around here
- and much much more.
Enjoy a piece of history in a relax setting with the best coffee around.

Award Winning Coffee
We offer some of the best coffees in the world.
We love coffee and it shows. Our roaster spends half the year travelling the globe for the best coffees and is one of the absolute geniuses in his field, he won 4 gold medals so far for his roasting and blending of coffees and we use only the best, we often hear “this is the best coffee I have ever had”…
And, yes … of course … we have delicious tea variations, too.
WE LOVE OUR GUESTS
