Oceanic Temptations Café is featured in the novel, A Sweet Smell of Strawberries.
Kilmer Cove sits on the beautiful coastline of Donegal, where the Connolly family has strived to keep their beloved father’s legacy alive by adapting their farmland and extending their businesses, one of which is Oceanic Temptations.
Ocean Temptations started out as a small farm shop run by Sarah Connolly and her sister-in-law Lily selling fresh produce from the farm and home baking. The two women soon discovered the need to expand their business and take on more staff, due to its idyllic spot along The Wild Atlantic Way. Oceanic Temptations Café was built to accommodate passing coaches of tourists on their way to Fanad Head Lighthouse. It also became a place for locals from the seaside town of Kilmer Cove to meet and socialise.
This book tells the stories of the four women who work together in Oceanic Temptations. Lily, Olive, Lena, and Sarah along with some prose and sharing recipes of the home baking and specialty dishes served in the café.
