The 19 best coffee shops and best cafes in Howth

Had a good sea food experience. If you planning to go during weekends specially during summer and sunny days, try to go early or be prepared to wait in the queue. Also it will take additional time to serve your food during the busy time. Love the Mussels, and the soup. Prawns are average tasty. Portions are generous. Good service 👍

Sitting outside here is an experience on its own fresh sea breeze, views of the boats, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. I tried a few dishes from the menu and honestly everything was delicious. Super fresh seafood, perfectly cooked, with just the right touch of seasoning. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience here. The freshest and best seafood I’ve had. Customer service was also a 10/10. They are very busy so expect to wait in a line for about 20-30 mins. They also do not take reservations. Worth the wait and I can’t wait to come back and try more.

The most amazing seafood restaurant in not just Howth, but Ireland! Everything is very fresh and made to order. The service is fantastic and very accommodating. Only downside is that you might have to wait, but everything good is worth waiting for, right? Best seafood chowder I’ve ever had… every bowl is made fresh with all types of fish, shrimp, mussels, and squid. I loved every bite alongside their truly homemade brown bread. We also ordered the scallops in garlic butter which were melt in your mouth out of this world. My only regret is that we didn’t try more. Can’t wait to come back here next time I’m in Howth.

This place is AWESOME. Tiny dining area inside with some outside seating. The 4 of us were able to snag the little room off to the side. It was cozy with pillows and covered benches. Excellent dishes - fish & chips and teriyaki salmon. Service was quick, friendly, and personable. We will be coming back!

The food was amazing! The calamari was spectacular, and I absolutely loved the soup so flavorful. One of my favorite restaurants in Dublin! Highly recommend Octopussy in Howth. 🐙✨

We went today and the food was nice and fresh. The place wasn't busy at all and the service was ok. Everything seemed to be fine until Brazilian girl bring us the bill. I was surprised when I seen that I have to pay more than I expected simply because I know what we ordered and I already have the total in my head(including the tips for waiter). Then i seen that in the end of the bill was added 10% service charge which was really unexpected. This is our second time in 2 weeks and even we are living 65 km away we still decided to come back again. No any sign or notice in the menu that something was changed since then(regarding service charge). To be honest this really turns me away. I think that the customers should decide leave tips or not simply because this is not some fancy restaurant where 10% service charge is truly understandable. I'm really sorry guys but we never back again and I make sure all my family and friends will know about that. I can't recommend this place to everyone visiting Howth...

I first graced this fine establishment a few years ago, and let me tell you, the cuisine was nothing short of magnificent! The bar itself is positively radiant. This charming spot practically hums with good energy. An ideal haven for sharing delicious beer with friends, family, or anyone fortunate enough to be in your company.

Perfect spot after a chilly walk along the cliffs of Howth. The pub is warm and inviting, the staff kind and attentive, and the food was delicious!! Seafood was fresh. Mussels and oysters not to be missed. The veggie soup was delicious as well. This spot was recommended to me by a local, and it did not disappoint!!!

Elevated and really delicious food in a great restaurant! Especially loved the warmed goat cheese salad. There are a couple different spaces for different atmospheres in the restaurant - fireside room, bar area, live music room, outdoor covered seating with heaters... And more! Also happens to be conveniently located directly underneath the Howth Dart station so extremely easy to get to and from the restaurant. It's a popular location - I do recommend making a reservation for your visit in the evening if you visit for dinner/evening drinks. Will certainly return!

I got a cake for my sister's birthday, and the staff were so sweet. they brought out candles and even sang happy birthday! Super thankful for how thoughtful they were. Also, the oysters and seafood stew were seriously amazing!

Had a quick lunch there and enjoyed both the food and atmosphere. The food was great and prices were reasonable. This location offers non-seafood items which was the first rrason we selected them! I enjoyed the Beef Guinness Pie!

I had the seafood platter. It was quite overpriced for what you get. The shrimps are miniature and not what I expected. The service was not that good. The waitress was sneaking using her phone and drinking her iced coffee while I was trying to get her attention. She didn't seem to want to be working.

Absolutely great experience at The Bloody Stream with food,service and ambience. We had hot and spicy chicken wings ,Seafood platter and Steak.Highly recommended those.

Came here for lunch, the service was great and the food was very nice too. We ordered the prawn and lobster linguine and fish and chips, both very palatable. I was worried about the stairs for those less able, but they have a stair lift, so very disabled friendly too!

Easy to get to, it's the last restaurant as you walk towards the Pier. 5 stars all around for sure! We made a last minute reservation and we was seated right away. We ordered fish and chips and Tereiacki Salmon, both dishes were great. See photos of surrounding areas

This is so far, the best seafood I have had in Ireland. The view is spectacular and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We ordered one dish from their Specials menu and it was definitely worth it. I forgot to take a photo but their Créme Brulee was absolutely gorgeous as well. I recommended this restaurant to all my friends and they all have nice things to say! Excited to go back!

Absolutely loved Aqua Restaurant in Howth! The views over the harbor are amazing. It feels like you’re dining right on the sea. My steak was cooked perfectly, and friends raved about the salmon. Excellent wine list, great service, and a warm, elegant vibe. Worth the short walk down West Pier easily one of the top meals I’ve had in Ireland. The Amore Life indeed!

Aqua offers a wonderful atmosphere and very flexible service. We were a large group — ten adults and a baby squeezed at a round window table for eight — and when we told them another three people were joining, they managed to rearrange everything in less than three minutes. Very impressive! The food overall was excellent, and the staff attentive. They kept the tables spotless, replaced our utensils each time we changed plates, and ensured water was always refilled without us even asking. Clean staff, clean setting — everything well presented. However, there are some points for improvement. When we asked to replace French fries with mashed or oven potatoes for the baby, we were told it was possible, but fries still arrived instead. Also, while the main dishes were great, the desserts were a real disappointment. The mango/coconut panna cotta (€11.50 each) was tasteless, dry, and gelatin-like — nothing creamy or delicate as a panna cotta should be. Honestly, I would not recommend anyone to order it. Overall, a great dining experience with excellent service and atmosphere, but the sweets need serious improvement. Skip the panna cotta!

Very good seafood restaurant. The oysters and mussels were amazing. Great views of the sea. Fine ambience good wine list and whiskey flight tasting.

Stopped in for lunch. Pretty view. Fantastic food! I had the seared scallops with saffron risotto. Maybe the best risotto I’ve ever had! The scallops were served with their roe intact. I’ve never seen them served that way. They were delicious!

Small market beside the harbour in Howth. Cute little shops and stalls, with artisan bakes and street food, coffee, cakes, ice cream and sugary delights. Some nice tourist souvenirs to pick up from your holiday, and then you have a whole range of pubs, cafes, seafood restaurants, wine bars, fish and chips, within a few minutes walk. Very close to Dart station. Mind those seagulls. They might steal your food if you blink 😉 Howth is always worth visiting!

A lovely spot to wander around on a weekend — full of character, friendly stall owners, and a great mix of local crafts, food, and small treats. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a stroll after the pier walk. Parking can be a bit busy on sunny days, but it’s well worth a visit if you’re in Howth!

Great little spot on the middle of Howth that offers quick street food bites, local crafts and jewelry, and fresh baked goods from local vendors. Nice spot to get a treat for kids or pick up something made by a local.

Travelled to Howth Market via bus then train from Dublin centre, was right near the train station. Between 4-6 Lovely street food stalls and a couple of jewellery stalls. Bought some chilli honey from a guy who specializes in local honey. A little underwhelming so knocked off a star but only because of how small the market was with a small amount of vendors. I also think if you have a jewelery store, you should have only one, so there's more variety.

Plenty of options here! Good spot to get coffee or a cheeky sandwich or pastry before heading on a hike. Can't vouch for any of the shops that open later in the day.

Packed full of friendly locals and all their crafts. Food choices galore, it's had to pick lol

A beautiful lively market on the Howth bay, must visit.

We stopped for lunch and were thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptionally well-prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and professional, making for an overall outstanding dining experience.

A lovely place! We enjoyed sitting outside and stopped in for a few drinks and a small bite and had great conversations with our waitress. The calamari and fries were yummy!

Food was better than it needed to be for a touristy area! Calamari appetizer was amazing as was the butternut squash soup of the day! I highly recommend for some tasty food.

A really cozy pub/restaurant with nice staff and a proper Irish vibe. It has also a very convenient location in the harbour, so if you are heading for the Howth cliff walk, you should definitely visit this place. I could recommend their fish and chips:)

What a pleasant surprise. We spent the morning walking the cliffs and enjoying the sites of Howth. We wanted to have lunch close to the pier, so we decided on O’Connells. The food was delicious, the Guinness was cold, and the entertainment was spectacular! We arrived at 12:30 on Sunday just as the restaurant was opening. We were immediately present it with our beverages, followed by our meals. Michele had to East Pier chowder, and I had the O’Connell’s Beef and Guinness pie. Both are entrées were outstanding. The wait staff were efficient and friendly. As an added bonus local musicians were playing their favorite tunes. Definitely unexpected and totally awesome!

Amazing cider for a cheap pint. It was so vibey and relaxed. There’s a good amount of seating. Definitely check it out.

Friendly and fast service, tasty fish and chips and Irish coffee served warm. Would recommend for a harbour side bite.

What a great spot. Full of character. The seating is varied from lounger sofas to proper tables and chairs. Dogs are very welcome inside too. I had the pizza, they got the pizza order slightly wrong but the dogs benefitted from the unwanted chicken on my pizza. My partner had the seafood pasta and garlic bread. She thought it was fantastic. It's a lovely place to chill out too with a coffee. We didn't have deserts but judging the look of them from what other customers were having they looked really nice They even have a few dishes on the menu for your furry pals. I will definitely be returning.

We had a lovely meal on a Friday evening, found a cozy spot on the couches. The food was delicious, we had pizza the huge goat cheese salad, and wedges. We had one desert between us, apple pie and two coffees. Bill bill was just over €50 which was very reasonable. The staff were under a bit of pressure, but they did their best.

Location & Access: Located in the charming seaside town of Howth, this spot sits near the lighthouse, Howth Market, and various souvenir shops and seafood stalls. It’s highly accessible—just a 2-minute walk from the DART station and easily reachable via "H3" and "6" buses. Whether you’re driving or taking public transport from Dublin, finding this place is a breeze. The surrounding sea breeze and coastal vibe immediately set the tone. Ambience & Space: This place is truly unique—spacious, eclectic, and unforgettable. It offers both indoor and semi-outdoor seating areas, with quirky elements like Viking-style tables, vintage leather sofas, and even an actual bed you can relax on. The design blends various old-school styles to create a cozy, relaxing, and Instagram-worthy experience. There are heaters and fireplaces for colder days, and the overall vibe is perfect for couples, groups, or solo visitors looking to unwind. Low music and a laid-back atmosphere make it ideal for real conversation and chill time. Cleanliness: Indoors, the restaurant is very clean—spotless tables, dishes, and floors. The bathrooms are also clean. The outdoor seating area has a more rustic charm: a bit dusty and with signs of wear like pet hair or sofa cracks, but it all feels intentional and fitting with the laid-back, pet-friendly vibe. Blankets are provided for guests who want to stay warm outside, which is a thoughtful touch. Menu & Pricing: The menu covers everything from starters and main courses to desserts, teas, and coffees. They also offer alcoholic beverages. Prices are reasonable, especially given the quality and ambiance. We ordered tiramisu, cheesecake, chai latte, Americano, and Earl Grey tea. Every item was beautifully presented—especially the tea, served in elegant floral chinaware. The Earl Grey wasn’t a generic teabag—it seemed to be a custom blend, filled with quality leaves. The tiramisu was one of the best I’ve had, and the drinks were flavorful and served at perfect temperatures. Gluten-free options and clear allergy information are also available. Staff & Service: Professional, attentive, and pleasantly hands-off. The staff gives you space to enjoy your time, which is rare and appreciated. Service was timely, friendly, and smooth. Accessibility & Extras: The restaurant is wheelchair- and pet-friendly, and there’s ample space for groups. It’s also a great place to relax for a while—not just eat and go. Final Thoughts: This place gave me such a great vibe that I want to make it my regular spot—a real patogh. It’s a cozy, unique gem by the sea with character, comfort, and quality all wrapped into one. 100% recommend and definitely returning.

Very cool place, good fish and chips and the cappuccino was excellent. And perhaps best of all your dog is most welcome here too 🥰

Food is okay there(the sea chowder had a tiny bone in it so be careful),lovely aperol and service was nice the staff is quite friendly even with the fact that it was busy.In my view the place looks a bit messy but you may like it.

The biggest Howth dissapointing. Chowder tasted like bechamel sauce, i found one 2cm piece of salmon there and that's all.. Quesadilla is not quesadilla, just tortilla with chicken. Pizza is a flatbread with topping and "sangria" is not sangria. Awful food and bad customer service. Avoid! At least birds liked 'pizza'.

I was going on the bog of frogs hike, and stopped in here to use the toilets before hand as it’s just beside the dart, I fell in love with it straight away and was definitely stopping back in when I finished the hike. The atmosphere is so lovely a chilled, the decor being all second hand or gifted to them gives such a unique vibe to the place along with the jazz music playing in the background, I love that you can bring dogs along also! I had a pizza and chips which was delicious and fresh, along with a strawberry spritz which was gorgeous and a couple glasses of wine🩷 Staff were great and friendly! I would definitely come back just for here even though it is an hour and a half journey from where I live!

i bought a pistacchio cake, do no buy it!!! there was literally nothing that would taste like pistacchio in the cake. it was literally just a cake that did not have any layers of flavour or filling in the middle. i do not recommend, it’s waste of your money. do no make the same mistake i made. never again. the only thing that it was made of was the cake dough and probably one small pistacchio that was crushed and sprinkled on the top to mislead you into believing that it will actually taste like pistacchio. it won’t.

The best customer service. The staff are lovely and polite to everyone, whether you are a tourist like me or a morning regular. I come here whenever I’m in Ireland and they never have an off day regardless the weather or how busy . Hospitality is a hard gig at the best of time so consistency is difficult when it comes to staff keeping up . Good coffee and good music

Had the maple spice hot chocolate, recommended by one of the staff, and it was soothing and comforting. The location is vibey as you can see the view of the harbour from the cafe. The market is also close by for you to have a look around at the shops. The staff was very friendly too.

I had the chance today to be at bodega Café. I ordered the kinder chocolate cookie and the carrot cake along with flat white. The kinder chocolate cookie could have used 30 seconds in the microwave for it to be perfect. It was good and taste however it was a bit on the solid side For me, the carrotscake was simple moist and had a nice frost into it. It wasn’t heavy, which is a good thing and the flat white was absolutely delicious. Definitely stop by here if you’re at the market.

Cute place, right in the market by the Wharf. Great service, very friendly and very good coffee! A must if your visiting Howth Island.

A decent choice for a short break, especially if you're in the area. Small and quiet coffee shop, good for a quick stop or a casual coffee date. Since it is some what close to the harbour as well as the train station, it is visited by tourists like myself... at least during my visit, there were also two semi-large groups I dropped by for a coffee while waiting for the rain to pass. The experience wasn’t particularly memorable, but it wasn’t bad either. Just a simple, no-fuss spot. The staff was okay; one of them was in training on the day I visited. The place was clean and had a minimalistic decor.

Decent coffee. Had a filter coffee which was a bit cold, but the chai latte we go was good and creamy.

A cozy café with friendly and helpful staff. Having a coffee while spending time with a dog will brighten anyone’s day! The coffee could taste a bit better — but that’s just a matter of personal preference :-) Free weather in the corner if you ask, that is big plus especially after americano

Absolutely recommend this place! The coffee is fantastic - really rich flavour. And I also had an Açai Bowl which was absolutely delicious. The staff is really friendly and the place is kept clean. I've been there twice now and I love it.

Lovely coffee shop, with nice espresso drinks and pastries to jump start my day of exploring Howth. Nice to just sit and enjoy your caffeine boost!

A lovely spot! My iced latte was delicious and my açaí bowl was AMAZING! In the US, açaí bowls are really popular so I’ve had loads and these really live up to what one should be. Friendly staff and a cute atmosphere, it was a great stop after my cliff walk.

Coffee was amazing!!! It was hard having to choose between a toasted sandwich or the açai bowl as they both looked delicious! We opted for 2 different sandwiches (the Turkey and the chicken ones) We thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches and could tell they were freshly homemade. Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish - we are looking forward to our next visit 😁

Coffee always so good here. Lovely latte art also! Açai bowls delicious.

Lovely coffee shop! And the owner, Steve, was very welcoming and amazing, along with his staff. We had the cookies, Acaí Bowl, Chai Latte, and a chocolate nutty dessert.

We visited The House with the whole family and had such a lovely experience! We called just 30 minutes in advance on a weekend and were able to book a table with no problem. Huge thanks to the owner — he’s absolutely wonderful and made us feel so welcome. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! The mussels were full of flavour, and the fish and chips were simply outstanding. Even our kids loved everything — and the ice cream at the end was a perfect reward for finishing their meals. Highly recommended for a cosy, family-friendly dining spot in Dublin. We’ll definitely be back! 💛

It was a rainy day and we just stumbled upon this place. Food was good, atmosphere is pleasant and clean. I would definitely eat here again. Great staff.. very polite and helpful

Our first visit to The House was brilliant. Our son is autistic and has sensory difficulties and staff were so kind and understanding in giving us a table in a quieter section. He soon forgot his anxiety as he tucked into the delicious pancakes with berries. Huge thanks to everyone for making us so comfortable. Will definitely be back.

Really cool place. Very friendly staff and everything was delicious af. Food came fast and the vibe is nice. Toilets clean as well.

€90 for 4 small breakfast. No white pudding only black, sausages aren’t normal sausages they’re made with black pudding 1x bacon, 1x sausage, 1x black pudding, 1x slice of toast cut in half.. it was by far the worst I’ve seen the food was even burnt, teas and coffees not included.. I could say I enjoyed any bit of the experience I ended up walking next door to the deli in the shop

Lovely dining experience with great service and a relaxed atmosphere. The House Restaurant offers a really enjoyable dining setting — elegant yet welcoming. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, which made the whole experience feel personal and comfortable. The food was well prepared and nicely presented, with a good balance of flavours and portion sizes. overall everything was fresh and well cooked. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — ideal for a relaxed evening with family or friends. Prices are fair for the quality, and the service team really deserves praise for their professionalism. Would definitely recommend and happily return on my next visit to the area! 🍷🍽️

Located away from the bustling main strip of Howth, The House Restaurant offers a tranquil escape for those looking to unwind and enjoy a hearty meal. My friend and I recently popped in for breakfast after a leisurely stroll, and we were thoroughly impressed by the warm ambiance and delicious food. The full Irish Breakfast we ordered was a true delight - the bacon was cooked to perfection and had a rich, smoky flavour that left me craving more. As we sipped on our steaming cups of tea, we found ourselves engrossed in conversation without the usual distractions or feeling rushed to move on. What sets The House Restaurant apart is its serene setting, away from the throngs of tourists that often populate the main areas of Howth. This allows for a peaceful dining experience, where one can truly savour their meal and enjoy the company of friends without any interruptions. Overall, The House Restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey that combines great food, a tranquil atmosphere, and friendly service. It's the perfect spot to unwind and indulge in an authentic Irish breakfast that will leave your taste buds singing with joy.

Was there about 4pm on Sunday 3rd of August and the staff are some of the happiest and friendliest I've ever had at a Starbucks. They are a real credit to the team there! Keeping the place clean, organised and drinks make quicky but also dealing with all the customers in a very cheerful manner!

Some of the most friendly staff I’ve ever had the chance to meet! From the moment you enter the door your day will definitely get brighter! Hope they continue this way forever!

Pop in for breakfast - had chicken pesto sandwich and tea - it was tasty. However, the male assistant (with glasses and beard) was blowing his nose loudly behind the counter..... it was disgusting for me to continue eating my sandwich 🤮 I noticed that in Ireland lots of people blow their nose in eating areas and they do it quiet loud...... why not to go to the bathroom or at least do it discreetly? Anyway, wasn't pleasant experience for me!

I’ve been coming to this Starbucks for years. Today was quite disappointing. 1. The staff extremely unfriendly. 2. The coffee was terrible 2. I then noticed that a lid fall onto the floor and the staff put it back after several seconds on the floor back onto the rest of the clean lids. Ensure you check that your staff follows cleaning protocols, I definitely won’t be ordering coffee while these two guys are servicing.

Such great staff and one in particular is a man with dark curly hair. Yavus was his name I believe. He gave me and my friends GREAT iced caramel lattes. I will be coming back time and time again.

The place was very dirty with bread crumbs everywhere. There was a weird noise on the speaker. Very disorganised place

Expensive coffee for a very poor experience. We were the only people in the queue and it still took 10 minutes to make a coffee. No one else came in for another 10 minutes and every available table in the place was full of old coffees and needed to be cleaned. One of the people behind the counter was tidying up sandwiches that were absolutely perfect but didn’t come out to clean the tables. We had to clean our own table. The coffee is palatable but just so. While its next to the water the front is mostly wall and you can’t see anything especially in the evening. Expensive coffee for a very poor experience

Best coffee in Howth. Spacious seating area and also outside. Grab a coffee and hit the Pier.

Got some sandwiches here before heading on our hike on Howth. Honestly, really delicious, if not a wee bit overpriced though. Really nice that they toast them for you! Made for a great kcal boost before heading off to the cliffs.

Stopped by for a takeaway matcha iced latte and a spicy tuna melt sandwich before the Howth cliff walk. Great service and a lovely atmosphere, perfect for coffee, milkshakes, and sweet treats.

Coffee is decent and good value but not exceptional. Tried the carrot cake which was also fresh and good in quality. Ambiance pleasant but functional and McDonalds like. Staff were pleasant but lacked great organisation as short queue moved at a glacial pace. All in all perfectly acceptable but hard to find a reason to rush back to this one.

I got a matcha and it had lumps of powder in it, I was literally chewing powder. My boyfriend got a coffee and it tastes expired. The matcha was the exact same in blanchardstown insomnia. It's not fair to charge €6 for coffees that are so bad they can't even be drank.

Stopped in on a rainy Thursday at around 3 for a cup of coffee. I ordered a latte, which came out pretty quickly, but hot and with a cute little heart design. The café itself is spacious and clean. Seems like this is an Irish chain. I'd probably prefer this over Starbuck's.

Waitresses are totally incompetent. Crappy service. Go away from this coffee shop. Both of the waitress ignore me and didnt want to serve me. 3.45 for a cup of tea.

such a cute place! the staff was very welcoming, the mood was so cozy and the food was out of this world. i really recommend the chicken burger, in which you can precisely taste every flavor that is listed in the recipe, as well as the chicken chorizo melt! the fries were also really good, not too salty and pretty crunchy! as for drinks, the mint raspberry lemonade is a must try, the mint doesn't overpower the raspberry and it was so refreshing, delightful even on a windy day! outdoor seating area available if you're not afraid of the cold breeze:)

Service was very nice, we were greeted immediately when we arrived. The place is cozy for a brunch and there’s ton of natural light. Food was delicious, they could improve presentation, and could give more imagination in thefood menu. Overall, fantastic experience.

Upon walking in the restaurant the smell of disinfectant was very overwhelming. We had high hopes for the food but we were very disappointed. The pog breakfast costing €18.50 was cold, dry and honestly sad looking. The breakfast brioche arrived 7 mins later than the rest of the table and was cold! something that should’ve costed €8 max was €14.50! not even a side salad included. very sad looking. the croque madame was the only good meal but when the waitress asked if we wanted chips on the side she did not inform us it would cost €6 extra! although the people were nice, service was slow, the food quality was very poor and way too overpriced!!! €64 for mediocre food left us upset. won’t be coming back :(

Very sweet cafe!! The banana bread was very tasty and looked really good. I've never seen this kind of banana bread before! Because the banana was caramelised on top of the bread and not baked inside of the bread. The brazilian waiter is really nice and friendly too! Super sympathetic

PERFECT!! Great food, lovely vibe and fair prices! but what really made it was the service. Big shout-out to Felipe, he talked us through the menu and helped us pick just the right stuff. He made our breakfast way more fun. No doubt, this is a spot you’ve gotta check out when you’re in Howth.

Had brunch here, it was lovely!! Beautiful ambiance and lovely staff. Food was DELICIOUS!!! Will come again.!

Delicious food, comfy place to sit, and such lovely staff! I popped in after a walk around Howth on a day trip from Dublin, so I missed the big lunch crowd that I originally saw when I walked by. I wasn’t too hungry but wanted something sweet and a place to sit, so I came in around 2 PM and asked if I could have a lighter option of their “make your own” pancakes. They were kind enough to make me a kids portion, which was only two layers instead of three, customized with the options I wanted. The coffee (Americano with hazelnut syrup) was also a delight. Thanks so much, POG team! Felipe was a fantastic server 🙌

TUCK has a special vibe for me. I did order one Affogato 🍨☕ which was delicious and the ingredients were served at high quality standards. I definitely plan to come back to Howth only to support this local business. Thank you very much for your warmth welcome Stephen, I wish the very best for your business. Cheers!!

Would highly recommend Tuck for an icecream treat. The owner was so lovely and inviting and let’s you taste flavours before buying. The pistachio flavour was amazing. Thanks so much we will definitely be back!

Fantastic spot for a coffee and/or ice cream on a sunny day - I went for the affogato, so I got the best of both worlds 🤝. The lads working there were super friendly and welcoming! A must visit any time you're in Howth.

I stopped here by chance whilst on a cycle ride. Coffee is absolutely superb and significantly improved my afternoon! Thanks for the interesting coffee chat guys! 👍👍

Fabulous coffee and ice cream shop in Howth. Absolutely delicious almond pastries and incredibly friendly staff even the dogs got a treat. Will definitely be coming back!

Best ice cream in Howth, highly recommend the Wexford strawberry ice cream. Great coffee and pastries too can’t recommend this place enough!

Very nice staff and absolutely lovely gelato - less sweet than others, refreshing from real ingredients. Highly recommended.

Very reasonably priced. Enjoyed my lovely cafe latte. Service was fast and very polite too.

A very good coffee shop 😋 it is run by mother and daughter. Amazing snacks options and very friendly people. It is a must visit to get a coffee and a break 😄

Unreal coffee lovely staff she was very nice to me made me a unreal flat white highly reccomend a coffee here prior to taking your lovely howth wlak

This was the perfect treat after a long morning hike! Very friendly staff, and the best hot chocolate I've ever had!

Amazing Coffee Shop! Great for the spot. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Awesome Iced Coffee and fresh pastry. loved the Pear and Almond Tart.

A welcome hot drink and coffee after the Sunset walk for beactive night Two ladies quick to serve with a smile Highly recommended

Lovely coffee to warm you up on a cold wet morning!

Excellent coffee and other drinks, sandwiches, and treats.

This was my first time here. Staff where friendly. Had a cup of tea which was good. My friend had an Americano coffee he said it was good but a but on the small side. We both had lemon drizzle which was also good. Outside there is a place to lock your bicycles.

Great tea and latte I had gluten free carrots cake very tasty

A great spot in Howth. Does a wonderful combo of Italian and Australian favourites (Panini and Lamingtons). Staff are always friendly and efficient. On my last visit my food arrived very quickly but unfortunately the coffee wasn’t up to the usual standard, but overall a great spot for a quick bite to eat.

Love this place staff very friendly coffee and pastries nice and fresh.

Got an americano 3.20 and was dirt. Staff seemed a bit dumb as well. id looking for a decent coffee don't go here

Small and cozy cafe. Not much seating room inside but there are some outdoor tables. Nice food and good drinks. Good stop for a rest and take in the views of the harbour.

Great spot for a lunch break or a quick coffee . Not that big fills up quickly but I'm a big fan of the rolls and coffee.

I love this little spot of heavy in howth.. me and the other half love going here. The food is the bomb service with a smile. This little spot is overlooked by Starbucks and ice cream shop.. try this place it's a 10/10 in my books

The bread they use to make the paninis is so delicious and it’s a cute little cafe. The cherry on top of this experience was the guy working (who was very friendly btw) making conversation and funny commentary about the people on the street who were feeding their dog chocolate ice cream

The Country market features a small cafe upstairs. It was recently renovated and is clean and open with great light. The decor is easy on the eye and the views offered through the windows are a definite plus. We were alone there during lunch and, as a result, service was quick. The staff were friendly and chatty. We ordered five items. Salmon asparagus was nice and cooked well. Goats cheese with Salad was reasonable. One of us ordered a Shepard’s pie. Not so good. Way too much MSG and an almost blended meat. Was it even Lamb?. Difficult to tell. Sausage roll was leaning towards tasteless and the pastry was not remotely crisp. But the best was chicken wings. Rarely have I had such unloved and overcooked wings. What a mess? There was barely any meat left they had lost so much mass in the overcooking process. Not in a hurry to return. Those who follow me know that I rarely post negative reviews. This has to be the exception. The process of heating the food truly needs to be looked at.

The cafe is inside a convenience store. Walk to the back of the convenience store and take the stairs up. It opens from 8am. We had a good breakfast here after a long walk at the Howth Cliff.

An impressively well stocked deli for its size! Stop in for grocery basics, or indulge in some locally sourced snacks and treats. They even carry seasonal goods like American canned pumpkin pie filling 😁 The deli counter has a wide variety of options, and the food is very tasty. Friendly staff, great location, and very cozy cafe upstairs!

The food was bussin. I mean it was really good The breakfast is really failing and the hot chocolate was really good. I'm kind of glad they did not go overly sweet on it because many places go hot wild on the sweetness, but this one was not too overpowering on sweetness

This is a small upstairs restaurant above the shop. Great food, I had breakfast there after cliff path walk , staff friendly and professional. Tea in a decent size pot , hot water refill, just what the doctor ordered after a cold, wet windy walk on the best one day walks anywhere in the country.

A little treasure in the town of Howth. The market has the essentials you need and the cafe upstairs is charming and delightful with breakfast, lunch and tasty treats. We visited multiple times during our stay and enjoyed it each time. David, the owner, is wonderful and welcoming to everyone. I will be sure to visit again!

Nice cafe upstairs with views of the church across the road. Breakfast available until late. The poached egg yolks were slightly too runny, rather than gooey-but-still-runny. I had thePoached eggs with homemade brown bread. The bread was delicious. Pot of tea was nice with Lyons tea bag. Very efficient and pleasant service.

Very good. It’s a community diner so not fine dining but the food is yummy. We had the fish and chips, the creamy tagliatelle, the braised beef stew with mash and the chicken wings with fries. The waitress and the girl on the till were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I will definitely return here. The cake looks great.

We were in Dublin for a special occasion and decided to try this place for the first time. Unfortunately, it ended up being a disappointing experience. We waited quite a while before anyone came to take our order — the staff seemed more focused on refilling seats than checking in with customers already there. If we had known they were too busy to accommodate even small requests, we honestly wouldn’t have stayed. When we were finally asked for our order, my auntie politely asked if she could customise a panini — just three basic ingredients — and was told, “We’re too busy.” Not the warmest welcome for new customers, especially when the request was so simple. Myself i ordered the goat cheese ciabatta, took one bite, and immediately had to spit it out — I said it tasted off. We called the manager over, explained that I didn’t like the food, and politely asked if I could order something else instead. The manager said no. When we pointed out again that I hadn’t eaten it because she genuinely didn’t like it, the manager replied, “It is goat cheese. You should order something you know you’re going to like.” I replied that I had eaten goat cheese before and enjoyed it — this just didn’t taste right — but the manager showed no interest or care. she simply took the food away and refused to offer anything further. At the till, the ciabatta was still on the bill. We explained again that it wasn’t eaten and was removed without replacement. The manager said we should still pay because it was a “waste of food.” It was eventually removed, but the way the situation was handled left us feeling very unwelcome. We also noticed there’s an extra €2 charge just to eat in — which is fine, but for that added cost, we expected a bit more flexibility and basic customer care. This was our first visit, and likely our last. A real shame, as we were looking forward to it. would not recommend this place at all

Nice place, food 😋 👌, just when waitress clean tables, she leave it very wet. But service was very good

Not too bad. The food was nice. A bit odd that the coffees had no saucers
