The 33 best bakeries in Dublin

I originally came here about a month ago for the strawberry and cream pastry, but they didn’t have it at the time! I ordered the almond croissant and it was good, just not the best I’ve had. Fast forward to today I returned and the strawberry and cream pastry was there!!!!! If you go there for anything, get it!!! It was absolutely amazing!

Probably the best bakery I've visited in Dublin. Fantastic pastries , super high quality. Beautiful fresh baked bread , we got a loaf of focaccia and a variety of pastries. And some tasty iced coffees

Ah, the sweet scent of cinnamon in the air. The hope. The dreams. The €5 price tag. I strutted into the bakery ready to treat myself like the cinnamon loving royalty I am. I handed over my hard earned coin with visions of a gooey, warm swirl of sugary delight. What did I get? A crusty, overcooked corner. A cinnamon bun’s grumpy cousin. The part that even the oven tried to forget. It was like biting into a fossilized bread relic from the Jurassic pastry period. I checked the bottom for ancient runes. I felt like I was being punished for something. Did I offend a pastry god? I tried to make the best of it, dunked it in coffee, begged it to soften. Nothing. This bun was emotionally unavailable. I paid €5 for heartbreak and a dental challenge. Would I go back? Probably. But I’m only ordering from the middle of the tray next time.

Una in Ranelagh, Dublin 6, is such a great little neighborhood café, cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a casual stop. The absolute highlight is their sourdough bread 🥖 fresh, flavorful, and honestly the kind you’ll keep craving. They’ve also got a nice selection of pastries and bits from other stores, which adds to the variety. Simple, good, and worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Those flaking pastries 🥐 do have some quality Irish 🇮🇪 butter 🧈 folded into them! And bread 🥖. Coffee ☕️ to go. All appropriately 💸priced.

This is a really good bakery but too sweet for me. They make unique pastries. They also have Focaccia and Bread. It's small little take away. Sometimes there is queue on weekends. I loved Blood Orange and Rhubarb Pastry and would go back to get it. Pan au Rasin was too sweet. Cream on top of Cinnamon Bun was too sweet.I recommend this place to others but personally I don't like too sweet stuff. It makes me pukish.

The cinnamon bun was amazing – soft, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. However, the chocolate cookie was a bit disappointing. I expected a crisp outer layer with a soft, chewy center, but the texture was off—it felt slightly firm to the touch yet sticky and dense when bitten into. Still, I’ll definitely be back to try other items!

Arguably one of Dublin's most famous bakeries (you'll find their name printed in countless cafés' suppliers), and for good reason. Their breads and sweet bakes are amazing. What's more, the freshly redone shop in Portobello is inviting to have a sit-in coffee or a little lunch. Good bread will always make me happy - and Bretzel has really good bread on offer!

I've been buying the berry cake from this bakery for at least seven years, and it used to be one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably declined. There are barely any berries in the cake now, and the dough isn't as soft as it used to be. It’s disappointing to see such a great product change for the worse. I really hope they bring back the original quality because this used to be one of the best cakes around.

I must say, this spot is chill and has really tasty coffee. The prices are good, too! I had a cinnamon roll— it was delicious.

The Bretzel Bakery in Dublin's Richmond Street area is a delightful discovery. Nestled on a street corner, its striking white and red decor catches the eye and sets the stage for a memorable experience. The moment you step inside, you're enveloped in the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and an array of wonderful baked goods. The coffee is a true work of art, each cup brewed to perfection, and the baked goods are a heavenly treat for your taste buds. What truly elevates this café, however, is the fantastic service. The staff's friendly and attentive approach makes every visit a pleasure. They take the time to get to know their customers, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back. In the heart of Dublin, Bretzel Bakery and Café is a charming haven for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike. It's a testament to the city's rich culinary culture, where quality, flavor, and impeccable service come together for a truly exceptional experience.

I can't believe I am only figuring this place now. Thanks to my BFF. Small little cafe attached is actually beautiful. Lovely pastries (very home made vibe). Great coffee. Very affordable. Great service. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff and a good variety of products. I liked their sandwiches, but although the bagels looked delicious and fluffy, they were actually quite hard, so I didn’t enjoy them. Still, I’m happy to have a place like this in Portobello for fresh bread 👍🏻

This used to be my favourite place in Dublin for breakfast - I would always ask for coffee and a cream cheese bagel. I don’t know if management has changed but this place is not what it used to be. In the past , bagels would be bigger with a generous amount of cream cheese. I didn’t even mind the burnt flavour it had, as the cheese was delicious and would overpower it. This weekend I went back to this bakery and I was truly disappointed. Everything is more expensive, the bagel is smaller and barely had cream cheese - I could only feel the burnt flavour this time. It’s truly heartbreaking to see one of my favourite places falling apart. They refurbished the whole thing and to me, it now lacks personality. I am thankful for the good times I had here for the past 3 years, but I don’t plan to ever come back. It’s very sad to see a good place being sacrificed for money - but i guess it pays off.

The strawberry cake tastes better than the fruit tart, but overall nothing was particularly impressive. MIMOSA CAKE was actually quite nice — refreshing and lemon taste not too sweet. Next time I’ll try the tiramisu that my friend strongly recommended, though I’m not sure I can handle how sweet it looks! The pasta is supposedly handmade, but it felt pretty average. Service was very friendly!

I have mixed feelings about Dolce Sicily. The first time I visited, the experience was much better, but on my second visit it didn’t really transport me to Italy as I had hoped. The highlights here are definitely the desserts — the pistachio tiramisu and pastries in general are very good. However, I have serious doubts about the savory food. I ordered the ossobuco risotto: the meat itself was well-cooked, tender, and flavorful, but the risotto had no taste at all. After waiting 45 minutes for the dish, it was quite disappointing. I mentioned it to the waiter, who kindly took the plate back, but what came next was very bizarre: they brought me a new risotto and literally took half of the ossobuco from my first plate and served it separately on a smaller dish. For a restaurant that is not cheap, I found it unacceptable that the chef didn’t bother to remake the dish properly. Overall, I feel Dolce Sicily needs to improve a lot on consistency and service to win me back — and honestly, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Go now, order that pistachio cake (Bronte cake). It was my first time visiting, recommended by a friend. The staff are super friendly, chatty, kind, always up for a laugh, and oh my gosh why are you still reading this, go and order that cake, it's everything. The berry lemonade was divine, almost too good to drink, but I was thirsty, very much so. I also had a coffee (flat white) but that one didn't make the picture as I was too interested in drinking it. Nearly went the same way with the cake, but thanks to my friend I remembered. They've got a lovely outdoor sitting area that offers some shade but gets a bit of sun too, nice to soak in the hustle and bustle of the city while enjoying food/coffee/drinks. Will definitely be back, so much more to try out. Massive kudos to the waiter who joined me in making fun of Fettuccine Alfredo being an actual Italian dish, we had an absolute blast.

I ordered a cake to pick up yesterday to celebrate my birthday a week early because most of my friends will be travelling on my birthday date. We had it this morning! I got the Red Velvet, which is my favourite cake so far!!! All my guests loved it. Most of them didn't know your shop, and I can say that everyone was asking: "Where did you buy this cake? Where is the shop located? ". Well, I just want to say thank you very much!!! I knew I wouldn't be disappointed!! Thank you, thank you and thank you!!

Dolce Sicily is a true Italian gem in the heart of Dublin — elegant, dolce, and effortlessly stylish. The desserts are simply irresistible, from heavenly tiramisu to perfect cannoli, each bite bursting with authentic flavor. Warm service, charming ambiance, and exceptional quality make it a must-visit spot for anyone craving a sweet taste of Italy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pistachio tiramisu & pistachio bigne always top notch. Great hospitality from Fabio. Bought also new pistachio vanilla cheesecake, the one was newly made, it was good but didn’t taste any pistachio at all - great idea but needs improvement.

Absolutely love this place! The chocolate cake is rich and indulgent, the Italian hot chocolate is thick and perfectly comforting but could be served a bit hotter, and the coffees are consistently excellent. Cozy atmosphere with a true Italian feel, a perfect spot to treat yourself or catch up with friends, although the prices are a bit high!

Just had two amazing dinner at the Shelbourne; One celebrating an anniversary and a birthday. I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to Gokcen at the F&B reservation. She made everything perfect and smoothly with our friends surprise birthday party. From all of us last night, Gokcen many thanks again. Also. Shout out to Alessandro, for looking after us, he was super attentive and friendly! Grazie Mille Alessandro!! Looking forward to celebrating another milestone at the Shelbourne and again, F&B team! Thank you all so much.

The Shelbourne Hotel – Exceptional Service & Timeless Elegance We recently hosted an event at The Shelbourne Hotel, and it was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make everything seamless. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made our gathering a time to remember. The hotel itself is stunning—elegant yet welcoming, with a classic charm that sets the perfect tone for any occasion. One standout moment was breakfast each morning, where a kind gentleman not only greeted me by name but remembered me throughout my stay. That personal touch made all the difference. I would absolutely return and highly recommend The Shelbourne to anyone looking for a luxurious and heartfelt experience.

The architectural details in this property, inside and out, are wonderful. Classy, extravagant, extremely well maintained, staying here felt like a special treat. Location is amazing, walking distance to everything we did over a couple day stay. I’d love to stay here again, hopefully many more times. Food and drink options are all delicious and well done, you just can’t miss here!

I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hotel! The rooms were a great size — clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day out. What stood out even more was the international vibe, with guests from all over the world, which made the atmosphere feel vibrant and welcoming. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the drinks were top-notch. Whether you’re by the pool or at the bar, the service is excellent. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-rounded, enjoyable stay!

Stayed at The Shelbourne for 3 nights with family, this 200 year old hotel an elegant mix of history and luxury style. The rooms are beautifully decorated, combining old‑world charm (marble, chandeliers, stained glass) with modern comforts. 200 Year old Bar & dining was outstanding, The Saddle Room is a standout, and afternoon tea in the Lord Mayor’s Lounge felt special. Staff are welcoming and attentive. Overall memorable and Awesome stay with The Shelbourne!

A lovely hotel in the heart of Dublin. The staff was fantastic, from the concierge to the front desk to the restaurant. The breakfast offerings were also delicious. Definitely recommend for an elegant stay at a fantastic location.

The Shelbourne is the definition of classic European luxury. From the moment you step inside, it carries that “old money, wealth whispers” vibe—sophisticated, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. The restaurants and bar are fantastic, the accommodations immaculate, and the entire property feels like a true landmark. The location couldn’t be better—everything we wanted to see in Dublin was within walking distance, and the staff were always ready to guide us with warmth and professionalism. This is a hotel that upholds the European five-star standard, which frankly feels closer to seven stars by American comparison. The horseshoe bar is an absolute must - and Michael will craft you a whisky sour that will ruin every pub in town! Such a special add to the experience! If you want the real Dublin luxury experience, this is it.

We came here with the hope of having some great pastries. Unfortunately we found them not as good as expected. Probably it was a matter of personal taste, but both the cinnamon roll and the chocolate thing we tried were good but nothing extraordinary. On the other hand, we bought a large sourdough bread which was great! For bread I definitely recommend this place! For pastries maybe you will find them better that we did. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere is quite nice. Overall it’s a good place for breakfast!

Bread 41 is where craftsmanship meets creativity. A buzzing Dublin bakery turning simple ideas into pure flavour. The sourdough is exceptional, the Cruffin irresistibly flaky, the Savory Croissant rich and inventive, and the Sausage Roll easily among the city’s best. Coffee’s on point, staff are upbeat, and the atmosphere hums with local charm. It gets busy and prices reflect the quality, but every bite reminds you why it’s worth the hype.

Absolutely delicious croissants, we got the ham and cheese and the chocolate! So many other good looking pastries and breads. Excellent coffee with environment friendly reusable takeaway cups to purchase. Cute place and friendly staff thank you!

This is a stunning place and extraordinary bake foods buffet. Chose anything it’s simply elevated standards - homely but fresh and innovative. Loved the croissant, bread butter pudding, chouxin. I literally stumbled into this place and what a great place. ❤️❤️❤️

Bread 41 is amazing! The pastries are so tasty and fresh, and the coffee is honestly the best I’ve had in a while. The staff are super friendly, and I love the big shared tables — such a great vibe. The line was out the door, but it moved fast and was totally worth it!

I was really looking forward to visiting Bread 41! As soon as I got there, I queued up and grabbed some bread and coffee. Luckily, there were still a few seats left inside. I tried the custardo, salted caramel knot, and almond croissant. Maybe my expectations were too high, but although the bread wasn’t bad, I was a bit disappointed because it didn’t have that rich buttery flavor I was hoping for. The Americano was a little pricey, but since other drinks were the same price, I think trying something else next time might be a better deal. ☕️🥐

The products are truly good and definitely worth trying. The problem, however, is that the service is extremely poorly managed. The staff is unbelievably slow, and that’s the real reason for the long line — not because there are too many customers. We went there on our first day and the wait was absolutely ridiculous, for no valid reason at all. Then we went back on our last day because we had to return the reusable cups to get our deposit back (since they don’t use disposable ones). Again, we waited about 20 minutes even though there were only two people ahead of us — it took them ages to prepare just a couple of simple drinks. When I got to the counter, the guy tried to fit a giant cinnamon roll into a tiny paper bag that was obviously too small and started tearing it apart. I asked politely for a bigger one, and he said they only had boxes — so I told him to just give me a box. I mean, I’m paying five euros for a cinnamon roll; you can’t hand it to me in a ripped bag. Then, to make things worse, there was total confusion at the register. I was supposed to get ten euros back and pay €10.75, so I should’ve just given them the 75 cents difference. But since they didn’t have change, I had to pay for the croissants by card and then get the ten euros back in cash. It was honestly absurd and completely disorganized. Unfortunately, having an excellent product isn’t enough to make a business successful.

Good coffee, very well made. The food was on the pricy end, but it was really good. The person that took our order seemed like they wanted to be anywhere else at the moment. It was close to closing, but that still gave us a bad vibe.

Best cookie I've had in Dublin. Most cookies out there have milk chocolate but this one's combination of dark choc and salt was top notch. Perfect texture too, crunchy on the outside and gluey inside. Totally recommend the look of the other treats and foccaccias they had too. Coffee was good but nothing special, though. Nice quiet atmosphere in a calm Street just outside the city centre. The bakery is right next door. There's a some tables inside and a few outside. The staff is nice.

Cute little take away cafe with no seating area. The chocolate hazelnut sourdough thing for 3.50€ was tasty, so was the cinnamon bun. 4.50€ for the size of the chai latte is a little overpriced IMO. Still a good place to get a snack when you’re in the area.

Lovely independent coffee house. Great for brunch / lunch. Delicious greens and tasty food. Also a small outside area if it's sunny (good luck!). However there is no Wifi. Coffee could be a little better compared to other places in Dublin. But the lunch menu is amazing and the service is really friendly. We recommend it.

Amazing place with great coffee ( I judge by the Cappuccino which was not too hot, perfect milk foam and taste) and delicious sourdough buns 🤤 You can dine in or take out (focaccia available for take out). Super nice stuff. Definitely recommend for a coffe stop or breakfast/ brunch 👌

Great food. Great coffee. Great staff. The Eggs and Greens dish was beautiful and it was super fresh and well presented. Had a cake treat for pudding...a good place to indulge! Tip the staff - they’re awesome!

Excellent fresh brunch and coffee. The focus of the dishes was more on the quality of the food and much less on overwhelming you with flavors and salt. Very refreshing.

I loved the bakery and the staff. They're really nice and kind. It's a perfect spot to enjoy some sunny days. Food was pretty good too. It's just that some of the things I wanted to taste were over. Even got some stuff packed for the way. The pricing is pretty good!

The appearance of the pastries was nice and appetizing. However, the cream filling could have been a bit more generous. I tried the pistachio one, but unfortunately, I couldn’t really taste the pistachio flavor in the cream. I was expecting a more intense pistachio taste.

“Artisanal French-style bakery near Croke Park, offering freshly baked croissants, breads, and excellent coffee—warm service and limited outdoor seating make it ideal for a quick, high-quality pastry break.”

Bread and pastries are excellent, as good as you'll get in Dublin. Popular spot, seems to be a queue every morning - moves quickly though. Only minor niggle is that the bread comes wrapped in plastic. Paper would be better - environmentally and no condensation from freshly baked bread.

Nice pastries and coffee. Spanakopita and focaccia are tasty, well made. I wish they had proper seating because I prefer my coffee in a mug.

I would've loved to take more photos, but I couldn’t resist and ended up eating before even taking pictures. 😅 My husband and I were influenced by a video on Instagram that said ‘one of the best bakeries in Dublin,’ but I dare say it’s the BEST bakery in Ireland. Good Lord, it’s delicious! We bought quiche, focaccia, spinach rolls, pistachio rolls… and I swear I can’t choose the tastiest one. Not to mention that even the cappuccino is exceptional, super creamy. The dough is light, fresh, everything just right. I highly recommend this place.

Quite easily the best bakery we’ve been to in Ireland! Hands down beats some of the popular, overcrowded bakeries in Dublin. The staff is friendly and have great recommendations. Spinach and Feta Croissant - absolutely stunning, buttery, creamy and delicious Potato garlic and rosemary focaccia - it was vegan, but very nice! The potato gave a creamy texture and the garlic flavour was subtle, not too overpowering Chocolate croissant - seemed like it had a million layers and it was fantastic. The chocolate filling felt like a mousse rather just a simple chocolate filling Coffee was delicious as well. They’ve a small outdoor seating to have your coffee and pastries.

We travel at dawn to visit this shop. The cupcake was amazing. Staff was also amazing. Happy with what I got. Highly Recommended. Please ask for the egg tart. Taste wonderful. Super Yummy.

Daithi and his team came through for us, and saved an event that we'd been let down on by another provider. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a corporate order.

The Brownie. No words needed. Has to be eaten to be believed. I'm not a local but I purchased a brownie from here a while back. I thought it was so good I'd come back to try again and it was even better this time.

The team here are so friendly and helpful. Cupcakes are delicious, and the birthday cake they made for me was one of the best cakes I have ever tasted! I detour here specifically for the Reuben sandwich.

These guys are just amazing, possibly the best bakery in Dublin on our doorstep, with wonderful staff to boot. Hurrah for the bakery!

Little gem of bakery . Cakes are amazing . Lovely friendly staff.

Were pleasantly surprised to find a great choice of local produce and stuff for baking in addition to freshly baked cakes, cookies and quiches

One of the top coffee spots in town. A variety of pastries and baked goods are usually available as well to choose from. I recommend their coffee for sure!

Best maple pecan pie! Obsessed such a gem of a bakery!

Potato focaccia bread was lovely, as was the cheese scone which had a slight kick. The only thing is they do not sell butter to go with the scone which I found odd. I didn’t enjoy the iced latte I ordered, the coffee had a very odd tangy flavour.

The best coffee in Dublin, a beautiful interior project, an insane bakery selection includes a strawberry Danish which was incredible. Great forward thinking concept with standing room left and sitting area to the right. Crikey that Danish! Love it...

Dropping in for coffee this morning and was amazed with the selection of breakfast treats on offer. 1st time at this spot and really enjoyed it. Cheers

Tried some of their pastries from round at Proper Order coffee and they were maybe two notches above anything else I've had. Dee-licious.

One of the best bakeries in Dublin. Beautiful pastries following seasonality and good variety.

My fiancée and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. It was a very nice place and the staff were very pleasant. I got flowers before I came and sat down, and one of the waiters asked me if I wanted some water and he gave me a jug of water for them, which was nice, a small gesture but appreciated. We got the Tomahawk Rib eye for 2. It was nice but it wasn't outstanding... I thought it was a bit too salty. The only complaint from my fiancée was that it didn't come with rice 😆 We both had the Gambas for starters...it was a little bit too salty but not too salty that you can't eat and finish it. It was flavourful, I have to say! Overall, it was expensive - €204 for 2 people (we had 2 Gambas, the Rib eye for 2, 1 cocktail, 1 glass of wine, 1 chocolate mousse & 1 tea). The restaurant got quite loud when it got quite busy and people starting talking. Restaurants can fix this issue easily by installing curtains, I don't know more restaurants don't do this.... Especially to cater for more neurodiverse audience. TL;DR Nice food but the Gambas & the Tomahawk Rib eye were a bit too salty; nice staff; expensive & quite loud

A memorable dining experience at Pichet! The food itself was impressive. Beautifully plated, packed with flavour. Each course was a delight, and it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The fries/ chips was amazing and one of the best fries I ever had in my life!!! Reservations are highly recommended as it was full house on the day we went. Pichet strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and fine dining polish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special evening out in Dublin. Will definitely be back!

This was the best restaurant we have been to this year. My wife had the Halibut and described it as the tastiest fish she has had in a long time. I had the artichoke ricotta and it was nothing sorry of superb, it really did tickle the tastebuds. There was little potato crisp as decoration and even they were delicious. The wine was also good. The service was also too notch. It was an expensive experience but only because we had some fine wine, the place is reasonable. All in all we had a good experience in one of Dublin's top restaurants. Pichet is definitely one of our favourite places over the last few years.

Had a very nice meal at this bistro. The staff is a little too faux French but professional and efficient. Interestingly I had the best chimichurri sauce I have ever had at a French restaurant in Dublin??? It was served as a sauce to go with the steak frites. I would like to see it on the menu. The two bartenders made a great selection of drinks done very well.

Went there for dinner as a couple. We had a fantastic time. The food was absolutely delicious and high quality. The short rib melted in the mouth. The salad with figs and goat cream cheese was also wonderful. Cocktails were very well made and tasty even though I had one that was not on the menu. I highly recommend the venison and the pork as mains. The waitress was fantastic - Hvala, Stefanie! Also special thanks and compliments to the chef - Marin! We will recommend this place to all our friends and we are sure to visit again when we are in Dublin. It was definitely worth it!

Our meal here was outstanding. Really great flavors and great service. We want to come back to Dublin, just so we can eat here again. Highly recommended.

Great spot, kitchen take a lot of pride in their food, every course was delicious, recommend the taste tatin. Lovely staff, good wine recommendation

Wonderful restaurant in Talbot street. The food is fresh, delicious and the staff and atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. Went there for lunch with three other family members. I had the haddock fish and chips in Guinness batter was tasty and cooked in a light, crispy batter. The lamb sliders were very tasty, was we're their soup. Desserts of strawberry, vanilla and Guinness ice cream was if the highest standard, as was the cheesecake. The ambience and decor made for a really enjoyable atmosphere and the staff were top class, friendly, helpful and professional and they really made us feel welcome. Very good Covid 19 safety measures in place. A real gem in the heart of Dublin, a short walk from O Connell Street. Have been going there for the last 7 years and always have a great experience and would bring visitors to Ireland any time they come to Dublin. Ate the food before I thought of taking photographs as we were so hungry but here are some photos of the place, outside and inside. Update! Went there this December 2020 and had another great dining experience. This time I took photos before we ate! See descriptions underneath meal photos. Everything we ate was top class, fresh and delicious. As always staff were super friendly, professional and the restaurant was Covid 19 compliant.

Location is a bit out of the way but the standard of food makes it worth it. The Halloumi had a lovely flavor which was complemented by the pomegranate in the salad. Steak was perfetly cooked (rare as ordered) and well seasoned too. Homemade ice cream topped off the meal well. Very good value with a voucher.

Been meaning to go hear for years. I remember it as one of the original gastropubs in Dublin and it has a long standing reputation. It's well deserved. Good wines and a decent and varied menu which is more interesting than the usual Dublin fare and of good quality in the eating.

A real hidden gem in the North side of Dublin Went to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday there last night and couldn't have chosen a better place. We were SO impressed by the quality of the food and kindness of staff. Great variety on the menu, lovely and calm atmosphere and excellent food presentation. As starters we had the croquette (highly recommended) and smoked salmon, as main the Salmon and steak (gorgeous) and desert the lemon tart and Guinness ice cream. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for making our night so special. Looking forward to our next visit!

Lovely food. I didn't put 5 stars because I think the ice cream dessert was nice but a tiny bit too expensive even though it featured a Guinness flavour in the trio. Next time I will try another dessert. Our fries were ordered but forgotten and when we asked for it again it was brought to us very quickly. Service was good and friendly.

We stopped here for dinner with a group as part of a guided tour. Even serving 20 people at once the food came fast and hot and was delicious. It was a bit of an early dinner which may have been part of the reason. We went next door for drinks and to listen to live music and it was a crowded, but fun environment.

Good was well displayed, but that was the only above average abject if this restaurant. The actual taste was fine. The atmosphere in the place was OK. The service was pretty slow and it wasnt that busy.

The place was packed and me and my friends had to takeaway the burger but it was still soo delicious! I recommend going to a nearby park to sit and enjoy the sun but the only bad thing is that the seagulls were vicious and kept coming to us. The portion of the fries was really generous too!

Without a doubt the best burger in Ireland is at Bunsen. The Bunsen here is always consistently good, the service is fantastic, and great food. I love the way they always ask you if you want vinegar with your fries. Who wouldn’t?

American-approved American style burger - actually I’ve been missing a big juicy burger like this because right now smash burgers are what’s trending in the states. The bun is incredible and can handle the juicy meat, cooked to medium perfectly to really appreciate the angus. Great ratio of toppings to burger. Travels well.

I had a fantastic experience at this burger place. The burger was cooked perfectly medium, just as I requested, and seasoned really well. It had that comforting, “home-like” feeling with every bite. The cheese melted beautifully and balanced the flavors, while the fresh tomato and tangy pickles rounded everything off perfectly. The fries were hand-cut, which I really appreciate, though towards the end there were quite a few smaller pieces. Still, the taste was excellent. A nice extra touch is that water is provided free of charge, which is something you don’t always see. Overall, a place I would gladly return to for a satisfying and authentic burger experience.

Simple, juicy and downright delicious. No much words for Bunseen. No fuss, just proper burgers. Big fun of the vintage style vibe, and the friendly and chill staff welcoming us. One of the places that never disappoint when the burger cravings hit or I'm just hungry and I see one near by.

We ordered a medium-well done burger and this is what we got. We asked the server a few times and we were told this is how it is supposed to be like. However, we’ve been to other Bunsen places and medium-well as actual medium well, unlike here. Really disappointed

Super tasty burgers paired with thin, crispy shoestring fries. I love the simple menu—it makes choosing easy. The medium-cooked patties, combined with their signature sauce, create an amazing flavor. Everything is perfectly balanced, making each bite delicious and satisfying.

A wonderful French restaurant nestled against the walls of Dublin Castle. What a pleasant surprise. The staff was wonderful and attentive. The food was fantastic. I love French food and it's hard to find. It was such a treat.

Nicely tucked away in the corner of a busy Dublin city center, Chez Max was a lovely place to dine. Quiet area, hole in the wall spot. My partner and I had no reservation prior to visiting but they were still able to seat us outside. Menu was either a two-course or three-course meal. Not to pricey considering the quality of the food and service. I slyly requested a little birthday surprise for my partner and they obliged, no hesitation. The consistent check-in from the waitress and other servers was so appreciated! Overall a delicious meal on a quiet night in a secluded yet easy to access location. Can’t complain—would eat here again!

Delicious food. Tried escargots for the first time and they were wonderful. Duck main was sublime as was the perfectly balanced crème brûlée. Lovely French bistro restaurant tucked away, just off Dame St. I got so much joy from this meal. French food is just the best.

Went in with my wife for a birthday dinner. Seated quickly inside and our waitress was ready for our drinks order immediately. Food came out quickly but we were never rushed. Would recommend the French onion soup and crème brûlée. Lovely outside areas at the front and back if the weather is accommodating.

Food amazing. Wine list for the most part, decent. The riesling tastes like bad apple juice. Would Not recommend. The wine glasses they served our white wine in were ugly and cheap, but the other tables got adult glasses. The champagne on the list, the only one is great. Escargot and Foie gras, impeccable. The trout and the duck confit, also really great. Staff for the most part friendly and enjoyable.

I am truly disappointed with this service. I had onion soup during my trip to France before, and it was absolutely delicious. But the onion soup I had here was really not good at all — the taste was completely different and unpleasant. On top of that, the staff were very rude, especially the male waiter. After we finished eating and they he clearing the table, he very rudely asked my bf, “Did you like the food? Are you sure??” in a disrespectful manner.

Lovely dinner on our first night in Dublin - the place is cozy, well-run, and the food is phenomenal! I had the steak frîtes, because yum, and my husband had the chicken Provençale. We both cleaned our plates, then demolished the pavlova together. Our server was delightful (from France) and the ambiance was perfect. Such a lucky find!

A small nice cafe and bakery place. I do understand why it's a favourite for a lot of tech folks in this area as it's an easily accessible place to sit for coffee. But talking about what I had here: 1. Hot chocolate was just basic and didn't enjoy it at all. I'd give it 2.5 or 3 out of 5. 2. I also had pistachio cannoli and that was quite basic too.

The pastries were nice for a little snack, but nothing super special or notable. Was excited to try the matcha but once it came out and I saw how dull and pale the color was, I knew it was not going to be good…unfortunately I was right. Tasted kind of watered down :\

This is a lovely spot for coffee and pastries. Their coffee is absolutely delicious, though it does feel a bit pricey. The food is generally good, but there have been times when it’s been a bit stale, and the quality isn’t always consistent. When it’s fresh, though, it’s fantastic! Overall, a great place. Can get very busy at times but I’ve always found the service to be fast and efficient.

Went there during closing on a Saturday and as expected most of the items on shelf were sold out. We ordered our coffees - Flat white & Cappuccino and were asked to take-out which we understand as they wanted to close. The staff was polite though. Coffees tasted decent but would definitely try this place for their pastries next time. They have an outside sitting area as well which is perfect for sunny weather, regardless even the docks view was worth it.

Everything was good. Delicious coffee and Pastries. Recommended for all time.

The food looks nice but it is nothing special, the worst part is when you go to sit down, it is so dirty. The toilets look to be never cleaned, there's crumbs and dust everywhere and counter tops filled with dirty dishes. My drink was brought in a dirty cup and food came with no cutlery, drink didn't have a spoon either. It's very busy, but overhyped and definitely not worth the money or what you can catch from the lack of hygiene.

Their Veg Croissant is a must try, if you are a vegetarian. Coffees are amazing - we tried Cappuccino & Latte. We also tried the Elcair Pistachio and it was good - personally I would have preferred it warm ! So, I visited this bakery for the third time and it’s my go to place now. All the food options are just amazing. Plus, you get a lot of beverages options. The staff has always been very cordial and nice. If you are looking to enjoy some coffee in peace, beside the river then it’s a good place. Definitely recommend it ! Pizzas could have been better - so you might wanna set your expectation in terms of what to expect :) All and all, it’s a must visit ! Cheers,

I recently visited and had a lovely experience. I ordered a smoked salmon bagel, which was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. Compliments to the kitchen. For dessert, I tried the orange cake, soft, fragrant, and with a lovely homemade flavor. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were friendly, a special thanks to Karol and Siobhán who made the difference with a big smile and small conversation, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d return to for more menu options.

We thoroughly enjoyed our teas and pastries on the Pepper Pot cafe balcony at the Powercourt center. Both the almond cake and blueberry muffin were baked to perfection. We’d love to come back and try their lunch options. Deducted a star only because their cups and teapots need a thorough cleaning. Other than that I highly recommend stopping by for a little afternoon pick me up.

Nice place to have lunch. The food is tasty, the location is original and pleasant. On the picture : oignon soup (8€) and salmon bagel (16€).

A fair price for the food you're given. It's incredibly good; a great balance of flavors and sweet and salty in their dishes. I had the free range bacon bagel and my girlfriend had the porridge. That bagel was divine! The apple juice here is uniquely nice as well, and it's the kind that makes you believe you can taste the whole apple (core, skin, and all) in one juice. Very nice place; if only there was more private, quiet seating. The centre is a bit loud.

I tried the veggie version of the famous pear & bacon sambo with halloumi. I liked it, but I was expecting a bit more flavor. I didn’t find it particularly necessary to keep the cheddar, as it made the sandwich feel a bit too “cheesy” for me, but I really liked the mayo sauce. If I may, I’d suggest removing the lettuce and adding spinach with walnuts, caramelized onion, and celery — that would really enhance the pear, which is the key ingredient. The service was nice, although the waiter seemed a bit distracted and forgot to bring my drink. The place is wonderful — I definitely recommend trying it!

Nice location and a cute spot to grab a bite. The Turkish eggs were good ☺️

Discovered the Pepper Pot searching the internet. Inside a small shopping Mall and split over two adjacent locations. Place your order first then directed to a table and wait. Very nice menu. I had the daily egg dish. Scrambled with a side of Irish 🇮🇳 black pudding. Hot, well presented and delicious. Nice cup of rooibos tea. Very friendly staff and all in all a great place for breakfast. Not too busy.

Arriving for a fast dinner, we were met not only by the courteous waiters who located a table for us right away, but also by an overpowering stench from the lavatory that permeated the entire restaurant. It smelled really bad. We placed an order for many pizzas, a mixed plate, and a few bottles of Montepulciano. The dinner was excellent; however, the wine, which was purchased at Lidl and then resold six times over, was a waste of good taste. Decent tiramisu. The restaurant didn't take cards, so another dessert was having to travel to the ATM to get money.

Had a meal last night. 10/10 great pizza, great chat to the owner about pizza dough. Even given me his details to message for advice when I get home. Going home and will create my own Sourdough starter. Many thanks for a great evening. They also do a Gluten free pizza.

This spot is delicious. Most who come to Ireland are seeking an authentic Irish meal, but do not overlook the Euro influences. This is an authentic Italian spot. Good apps, good main courses, wine, kids food, etc. Everyone was satisfied. Sit upstairs at the window for a nice view out of the intersection. If looking for Irish, not for you. But if looking for a great tasting authentic European feel, this was great.

Lovely and cosy spot to visit! Very nice interior to help you feel welcomed. Visited this place to catch up with my friend and upstairs seating was perfect for it, quiet so you can actually talk to each other. We got two starters- delicious fresh salads and pizza for main which was perfect and tasted like the one you would try in Italy! Reasonable pricing for Dublin and attentive waitress who looked after us!

Lovely little Italian restaurant tucked away near George Street Arcade. We started with the prawns baked in garlic butter, chile pepper and generous punches of lemon juice. It arrived on the table piping hot with small bits of bread soaking in the sauce. It was honestly so good! Next up was the margherita pizza (classic) and a beetroot, goat cheese salad which was drenched in dressing (just the way I like it!) and also fab. Hats off the chefs and to our sweet server who helped make the meal memorable.

A lovely place with great stuff. So much to discover in Ireland thanks to this Italian team working hard to give the best service and taste in everything they make. Will come back for sure. Don't miss the terrace and the Aperol Spritz with free finger food on Sundays.

Excellent food, everything on the menu is spot on - tastes amazing, looks great! This place is proper, it’s better than most places in actual Italy. Do yourself a favour and always check out the specials - they are usually quite special :)

I went with my friend for brunch, but unfortunately, there weren’t many options on the menu. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich with ketchup, but there was way too much ketchup—it was the only thing I could taste. My friend got a brunch plate, but the toast was really hard. We also ordered a mocha, but the flavor was strange and didn’t really taste like chocolate. I had a slice of lemon cake too, but it barely had any lemon flavor—felt more like a plain cake. Considering the prices, we expected a bit more. Maybe it just wasn’t a good day (it was raining, lol), but overall, we were a bit disappointed.

I love the breakfast and lunch options they have. Their drinks are delicious! The service is great; they're very friendly and helpful. I love going there to read a book quietly. The people are always smiling and kind. 🌿🍃🌱🍀😌🙌🏻 I love that the staff not only speaks English, I can speak Spanish and there are also some who speak Portuguese and Italian 👏🏻👏🏻🤍

A hidden gem behind a bookshop!Such a cozy and charming spot! Loved the Green Goddess ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and the buttermilk pancakes ⭐⭐⭐⭐, though the fruit topping was a bit too sweet. The cappuccino ⭐⭐⭐ and hot chocolate ⭐⭐ weren’t my favorites, but the atmosphere, quick service and overall vibe made it a lovely place to relax and enjoy breakfast.

Great cakes but do not do takeaway. They pack the cakes on the side for some reason and they get all over the box. (We carried the box for 5 min walking and we held it right side up)

Very very good food, we waited an hour for our food which was weird considering I ordered hummus toast! The food was incredible and the coffee was good just a long wait!

It kills me to have to post a review about what was, once, my favourite café in Dublin. I came here this morning to treat myself and my friend to some coffee and brunch before work. After coming in, I noticed that the place was almost empty. Perfect. We were promptly seated and given a menu. Both myself and my guest ordered coffee, a scone and the 'Scramble'. The server asked if we'd like the scones with the scrambles, we indicated that we didn't have a preference. Lovely. Off to a great start. However, it didn't take long for things to start coming apart. Firstly, the server brought us our two scones, but no coffees. Not ideal, but not a big deal. Surely, it would have made more sense to bring us the baked goods after our scrambles, but whatever, we'll roll with it. When the coffee did eventually arrive, we had already finished our scones. Okay, all a little disappointing, but these things happen. Next, we waited for our food. We waited. And waited. In vain, we waited. Our plates weren't cleared, we weren't checked up on at all. In fact, we were completely ignored. Our coffees finished, we fancied another, but still we couldn't get the attention of any staff; who seemed to be congregated around the kitchen taking photos of a dish on the pass. As restlessness set in, I checked my phone and saw that it had been 40 mins since I sat down. I decided to ask how much longer my food would be. I then had to leave the table, approach the congregated staff members and ask for an update on my food. I asked 'is my food coming up soon', my waiter looked at me and said in an agitated tone, 'not yet', but at this stage, I'd had enough. I cancelled the food. Feeling dejected and disappointed, I asked for the bill. My server simply said 'sorry about that' in an offhand manner. When she she came out to take my payment, she repeated 'sorry about that', without making eye contact or showing any genuine remorse for having delivered such a poor customer experience. I decided to offer some feedback. I told her that coffee should always come before food and it was unacceptable that we had finished our food before our coffee arrived. She told me that it was the way things were done at Cake Café. When I insisted that it was uniform etiquette across all cafés and restaurants, she simply said 'not here, some places do things differently'. She had an air of scorn about her temperament which I found a little unprofessional. She then repeated 'sorry about the restaurant', repeating her claim that it's restaurant policy to deliver coffee to customers once their food is finished. She didn't offer any commiseration. Her whole demeanour was angry and confrontational, which is especially disappointing, considering ours was so polite. I work in service and have done for the past 10 years. I'm incredibly forgiving when it comes to staff mishaps when im dining out. But a level of service this poor is inexcusable. If one of my colleagues acted in the same was as our server did today, Id consider them wholly unsuitable for the industry and would wager they wouldnt last very long in the job. Again, it pains me to post this. I really hope that you guys can make whatever changes necessary to restore the level of service for which you were previously regarded.

I took my mom here for afternoon tea to celebrate her birthday while we visited London. The surroundings are simple, but I loved the atmosphere. There’s a great outdoor seating space which we couldn’t use because of the rain, but it was so beautiful to walk through. I tried the roasted vegetable sandwich, which was amazing. We shared a cake plate, and a pot of tea. Everything was so delicious!! On top of that, our waitress really went above and beyond and gave us incredible service the entire time we were there. Highly recommend if you have a chance to go!

One of my favourite restaurants in Dublin. Can never fault anything here. I prefer it to all of the Michelin starred restaurants in Dublin, the atmosphere is more casual and overall the experience is more enjoyable. The quality of the food is incredible too.

The great: The food was fantastic. We really loved the variety of flavors across the tasting menu. Particular highlights included the raviolini duck ragu, pollock, Guinness bread amongst others. Excellent presentations and delicious bites all around. The mediocre: Service was hit and miss for the level of restaurant and did not compliment the cereal the kitchen clearly worked with. The team often took my wife’s plate before it was finished, cutlery placements were sloppy and on often inquiry about the course was so quick that we didn’t even have a chance to respond before the server had left The bad: This was probably our mistake as I imagine wine would have been a great choice as there is a strong selection on the menu; however, we chose to have whisky sour cocktails. Sadly, both whisky sours were not good at all and unfortunately were the worst cocktails we’ve had at an establishment of this quality - by far. They seemed watered down, with the ratio of ingredients far off and were not enjoyable. An unfortunate complement to the EXCELLENT food! I think if you order wine you’ll have a lovely compliment!

Amazing meal with lots of surprise little treats: the quiche starter and pre-dessert carrot cake were unforgettable. Every course was delicious and beautifully balanced. Fantastic food.

Back again, another culinary delight having chosen the tasting menu. Gorgeous Rieling Alsace to pair. I truly love this spot. This is one of the top restaurants in Ireland, my favourite for superb food. Each serving is a delight, thoughtful and delicious. You must choose the tasting menu in order to appreciate the dedication that goes on behind the scenes. The wine pairing adds another level of depth and knowledge to the food offerings. It's also incredible value, considering the quality and execution. I loved it as much as I did the last time I had the pleasure of going.

I hadn't returned to Forest Avenue for some time and wondered if it was as good as I'd remembered. It's better. We had the tasting menu with accompanying wines. Each and every plate was a gastronomic delight. The flavours, textures and creative combinations were genius. Our conversation was solely about the food and the skill and love that it captured. The kitchen team here are supremely talented. The service staff were equally knowledgeable and charming in their explanation of both dishes and wine accompaniment. It was one of the most memorable meals we have both experienced and have been raving about to anyone we talk to. Continued success, I can't wait for the next menu. Bravo all. Well done and thank you.

We have been visiting this Irish restaurant for the past 7 years - birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations, family dinners. It’s that “special” restaurant you keep returning again and again, wondering if it really was as good as you remembered. It is. Their seasonal tasting menu is always surprising, creative and executed to perfection. In addition to the dishes on the menu, you also get a few surprises from the kitchen (I think we got 4 on our last visit!). I’m still dreaming of the agnolotti, the Jerusalem artichoke chocolate dessert, the warm bread pudding, and pork belly with a glassy crackling…. The staff is warm and efficient without being intrusive or aloof. We always feel welcome and never rushed or uncomfortable. The prices have gone up since we first visited, but that is to be expected and it is still fantastic value. I can’t think of another fine dining restaurant we have visited as many times as this one, and I hope there will be many more.

Great venue for those who appreciate genuinely beautiful food created with passion for food and good quality ingredients. Good selection of wines. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Dublin.

The food was delicious and great price. We ordered capuchino with a blueberry cake and ham and cheese sandwich, the portion was good. Nice place to take a coffee after walk on the garden

€11.20 for the dingiest coffee & sausage roll that has no meat, tasteless. Don’t bother visiting here because the new café since it reopened is very bad. You used to be able to get a full hearty dinner before this crowd took over. Its terrible :(

Cozy coffee shop and bakery where you can enjoy your morning quietly. Loved the flat white here, which we had along with the carrot cake, chocolate peanut butter cookie and lemon bar. Highly recommended and would definitely come back again

Gorgeous ❤️ little cafe hidden below the Goethe Institute. Open until 20:30 Monday to Friday. Great cakes, service with a smile, great atmosphere.

Had a yummy sandwich with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella! My husband had the breakfast sandwich and he enjoyed his too. The sourdough bread was the real deal. Nicely toasted. We also ordered a side soup each. It was good with nice garnish on top but was only lukewarm. I believe soup should be served piping hot!! I bought 2 chocolate brownies, 2 raspberry cheesecake brownies and a coconut loaf for takeaway as we were headed to my friend’s house. All treats were delicious!!! It’s such a nice place for a coffee + treat or a quick bite. Loads of tables. Great lighting. Very open space. Clean toilets.

Ordered a coffee cake with buttercream frosting and it turned out wonderful and delicious. Not too overpowering and enjoyed by all, thanks very much guys! Edit: One year later, another cake, just as beautiful thank you

Discovered this place during a food tour, and we got to talk to the owner of the place and to know her story : we all feel in love with her story, she really fought to deserve the success of this bakery ! Ireland is magic like that, go try her scones 👍👍👍 Edit : I wanted to write a review a new review but I can see that I had already written a review for this great bakery. Caryna, we want to thank you for the beautiful and delicious wedding cake ! We got many great feedbacks about it 😃 We were very happy with it and it looked great, definitely played a big part to make our big day the perfect day to remember !

We visited on a Tuesday midday, hoping for a leisurely snack and pleasant experience. Two female staff members couldn't manage a smile or an amiable word between them, until we were leaving. Were they glad to see us go? We had an Americano, a tea, an apple thing and a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. The bill came to €17.44. The tea was bog standard teabag in a mug, Americano looked drippy and the sandwich was so hard I nearly broke my teeth trying to bite it. I gave up after one half, even though it was so small I could probably have eaten two rounds if it was edible. The apple thing was said to be okay by my companion,who also ate the rest of the sandwich. We left and went next door to Abrakebra where I got great, cheap, felafel and was greeted like a valued customer. Nuff said.

Over 30 minutes sat in with an americano (fine) and pear and almond tart (unbelievably dry) I don't think the servers got one order correct or at least didn't have to ask multiple times for it to be repeated. Asked for the order to be eat-in (I also had to repeat it several times as servers were just talking to each other) and still got it in a takeaway cup and paper bag. Chairs not comfortable and feels like the intention is that they don't want customers to eat in. Area outside the toilets unclean and seems to be used as a bit of a stopgap dump for certain items.

I got a Ferrero cheesecake, but it didn't really taste anything. The chai latte was alright. Place was quiet and was good for a chat and catch up time with a friend. But definitely, the food could be better.

Good coffee, decent pastries, but sometimes if you’re there early in the morning on weekends, it can be a hit or miss so worth asking if it’s fresh or not before getting it

Ordered a lotus biscoff cake for my cousins birthday. It was delicious and moist. However I did think there was a little too much buttercream around the cake. Apart from that it was great.

The desserts are amazing, very tasty and fresh made. The coffe is of good quality. I will definitively return for another treat :)

We ordered a cake last minute and they kept it aside for us. Their staff is very kind. The cake is delicious too! I tried their pastel de nata - it was good.

I love this place! Cozy, comfortable, warm, pop! So delicious Sandwich! Bread is moisture!

Family friendly restaurant doing French style pizzas with ementhal cheese. Their side salads are always tasty and fresh and their punchy garlic sauce is great. In the mornings they do fresh baked sourdough bread ( you need to be there early because they sell out quick) and their coffee is really good. They do sandwiches at lunch using their own sourdough - this place is a neighbourhood gem.

Fantastic soup of the day (cauliflower and potato) for an amazing value of 6.50€.

If you enjoy thin, crusty pizza, this is the spot for you. Very crusty delicious pizzas 🍕 we had the cauliflower parmesan one with the side salad, a perfect portion to share between two people

The sourdough and pastries are out of this world. They are deliciously well balanced and the variety of sweet and savouries leave you wanting one of everything (thus why the pic shows us splitting up bites!!) The coffee was well balanced, a lovely cup poured well. Can’t wait to get back one day for sandwiches and pizza!

The pizza was soooo go. I had the Vegan one and my boyfriend the one with champignons, the back garden has a really nice atmosphere and same for the music . Found it randomly on the maps and was better than I was expecting, good quality ingredients

Cosy place, nice staff. I ordered a special pizza. The filling was nice, but the dough was not tasty, dry and overbaked.

Ordering cake from this shop , cake was perfect and tasty just one problem with the dude at the front of the house .... I told my colleague to pick up cake for me and somehow it was my fault didn't tell my colleague that cake have to be picking up after 4pm but he went earlier , after he received the cake he feel like the staff treat him badly with words and facial express is rude , as he said next time just to let you know we do not let you collect it at this time luckily chef made it so you lucky to have cake now , and he thought it just that but the dude keep saying 2x or 3x times with heavy tone of voice it make he feel like he begging for cake . Actually I just want to let you know as this would be my last time ordering from this place. You can really just to let him know with professional way of facing customer by say " oh we actually let customer pick up from 4pm onwards but it ok that our chef is already made the cake , but please next time if you like to pick up please come after 4pm as it would be suitable for shop " this is how you suppose to giving customer a feedback not some rude attitude towards .

Visited from Belfast because of good reviews. The mango strawberry mochi did not disappoint, whipped cream blended well with flavour & mochi. But the Asian guy tending the store last 29/8/2025 at round 4pm was nasty. I asked politely if they still make a specific bun but he answered sarcastically and was making faces when I was trying to pay using my mobile. Maybe I was treated poorly because of my skin colour but regardless I was with my white husband still got a bad service. Would still come back for the mochi though.

Bought one salty egg yolk mooncake, but found out at home there isn’t any egg yolk, this is not honest business

Delicious sweet coconut bread. Not too sweet ( the way it should be). Reminds me a less sweet version of the brazillian "pão doce". The Mochi is very soft, creamy, and smooth with strawberry pieces and became one of my favourite things in the bakery. I also loved from the savoury side the bread with pork filling. This is the only Asian bakery I know in Dublin and is indeed a legitimate one. 💕 The sweets here are not overly sweet and of a more delicate taste, following the East Asian palate. I personally love it, but if you have a very sweet tooth, maybe try a few things to see if it is your taste.

I ordered a custom bento cake and oh my gosh, it was so cute and so tasty! Lite and fluffy and the cutest little gift for someone. I’ll definitely be ordering again! Staff are so nice and welcoming too. Highly recommend!!

This place is amazing! Dublin has long needed an Asian bakery and it’s finally here. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The space is small but clean! Absolutely love the fresh bread smell as soon as you push that door open. Great selection of Asian bread so far. My 2 favorites are the pineapple bun and coconut bun!! Bubble tea is top notch as well. They are quite new so I assume there’s probably a full range of more Asian bread variety to come. Really looking forward to see what else they have to offer! Do you take requests? I have a few childhood favorites from Taiwan that I have been missing since I moved when I was 13.

Fresh and delicious. Bo lo bao are my favourite HK bakery bun and they do a really good one here - the bun is soft, pillowy and chewy and the cookie crust on top is light, crumbly and buttery with a little bit of saltiness which I like. I also enjoyed their red bean bun and HK egg tarts. Will definitely visit again and try the rest of their menu. I normally make my own since there's not that many Asian bakeries in Dublin so I'm glad this place has now opened and Dubliners can try authentic HK style bakery treats.

Not really a mall—more a big, lively food hall. Lots of seating in the middle, mostly grab-and-go places, easy for everyone to pick different food and eat together. Go before 12:15 to skip the lunch queues. It’s set in a gorgeous Victorian bonded warehouse that also houses the EPIC museum and a digital start-up space

This is an incredible start up hub. The lunch place Toss'd is delicious, and they've got a Starbucks inside. We invited the DHQ innovation hub and Dogpatch Labs.

Great musuem, lots of modern delivery of information, first section is old Ireland, lots of reading then it becomes more visual and interactive displays. You get a map to stamp as you go through each area THIS MAP GETS YOU BACK IN FREE OF CHARGE AT ANY TIME, great value. There is also a small food court which serves the public or those visiting the museum We enjoyed a delicious lunch. Outside is the Jeanie Johnston replica ship. Lovely area for walking by the river with other sculptures on the quay side

A great place with an amazing arhitecture that need to be on your list to Things to see in Dublin. Inside there are a few coffee shops with a huge variety for breakfast and lunch, the tech lab Dogpatch also is one of the Aces of this place. But not forgetting the main atraction of it, The Epic Museum where anyone can enjoy and visualy search their irish heritage. Definetly it is a must to see in a future trip.

Epic museum was hugely interesting. You need time to take it all in. While the kids thought it was interesting, they wanted to move through much faster so I didn't get to absorb as much of it as i would have liked

Historic building with plenty to see and do. Great location and easy to get to. Epic is a great attraction and the food from The Bakehouse is delicious. Public toilets onsite.

Free wifi and access to Starbucks and other cafés, Dogpatch Labs, event spaces and of course the EPIC museum. You don’t need to buy a ticket to the museum to avail of the free seating inside or browse the museum gift shop. Good spot to get some work done if you’re in the area.

We stayed for one night, the room was spacious with a huge bed and TV. With complimentary tea, coffee, water and biscuits. The bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room itself was overall fairly clean but very dusty on the floor and window sills. Unfortunately, even with all the windows open and a requested fan from the front desk - the room was unbelievably hot. So much so that my partner and I barely slept as it was unbearable overnight. Air con or ventilation of some kind is definitely needed. Also, the shower leaked into the bathroom floor due to the way it was set up. Overall, it was comfy and spacious, with good storage. Not sure I would stay again unless there are other rooms that are much cooler.

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Dublin. Less than 10 minutes walk to Book of Kells. The staff were amazing particularly Christina ( Restaurant) and Maria (Front Desk). Actually all the staff is are excellent. Food was great especially the soup. As seniors travelling for first time in a while, they were fantastic sorting out event and train tickets. We will come again just for the friendly professional staff.

A lovely hotel, ideally situated for exploring the sights of Dublin. Breakfast was very good, with a good selection of food. The room we had was lovely and the beds very comfortable. Perfect after walking 9 miles around Dublin every day we were there! Friendly staff, with a quick check in and out process. I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent hotel with great staff. Rooms are perfect and very comfortable with everything you need. Full English Breakfast was hot and fresh…also with a choice of cereals and pastries. Good location…a 20 minute walk into town and Temple Bar. The staff here are very good…happy to help with all your needs. Colin especially is a great asset to your hotel…he has excellent customer service skills but also a great sense of humour, thank you Colin for making our stay so pleasant.

A good level of service and a good standard of accommodation for the price. Make it better with a bit more attention to detail; our toilet seat was loose, housekeeping should have noticed that when cleaning and then told maintenance. Also, keep customers happy by applying offer prices during the stay, e.g. breakfast, rather than asking people to upgrade before hand. Would I stay again - yes.

I don’t think this hotel is worth the value. Every time I walked into the lobby, there was a strong cooking smell that felt unpleasant, and the hallways between the rooms also had a bad odor. The breakfast is extremely limited and repetitive — I stayed for a full week and nothing changed even once. At night, there were people outside setting off fireworks directly toward the hotel. It was very loud and disturbing, especially since I was here for a work trip and needed rest. Housekeeping was disappointing as well. They only changed towels and emptied the trash but did not properly clean the bathroom or floors throughout my entire stay. Overall, not a comfortable experience

A well located hotel approx 10min walk from city centre- fairly clean and well presented- good size rooms with lots facilities - ironing board -iron- hair dryer- safe- tea/coffee kettle- excellent buffet breakfast in a well presented dining area on ground floor. Lots of towels available but housekeeping came once over 3 night stay. Overall a good place to stay

Decent pizza. We went for the ham and pepperoni and a pepperoni. We booked a table in advance and the staff were extremely friendly. Nice little place too.

Hard to find a good pizza place when you’re really craving a pizza but was impressed with the pizza after my visit :) As I heard lots of good things about Uno from peers. Pizza was fresh, divine and hit the spot :) I know where to get pizza again when I’m in the area :) they also have a selection of desserts if anyone has a sweet tooth afterwards :)

As an Italian, I feel well-positioned to assess the authenticity and quality of a pizza place, and unfortunately, this one falls short on several fronts. To begin with, offering pineapple as a topping while claiming to be Italian is misleading at best. If you’re going to serve that, at least be honest about not being a traditional Italian pizzeria. Let chains like Domino’s handle that kind of pizza. Secondly, while the pizza’s texture and ingredients showed potential, the flavor was completely overshadowed by one critical flaw: the tomato sauce. It was extremely acidic, which clearly indicates poor preparation or low-quality ingredients. The service was passable, but there’s a lot of room for improvement in attentiveness and professionalism. Moreover, the constant in-and-out of delivery staff through an open door significantly disrupted what was supposed to be a relaxing meal. It felt more like a transit hub than a dine-in restaurant. Unless these issues are addressed with urgency, I won’t be returning—and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic or enjoyable Italian dining experience.

**UNO Pizza Rathmines, Dublin** UNO Pizza delivers the real taste of Italy in Dublin. The **pizza is authentically Neapolitan, light, and incredibly easy to enjoy** — one of those pies you can finish without feeling heavy. You can dine in, but I chose to take mine away and eat it by the canal just a few minutes away, paired with a cold **Birra Moretti** on a summer afternoon — absolutely perfect. I also love the little details that connect back to Naples: the décor, the vibe, and especially the **wine list**, which includes **Falanghina grown on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius**. I tried this wine years ago while visiting the volcano itself, and it’s amazing to be able to find it here in Dublin. On top of it all, the **service is excellent** — warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. UNO Pizza is easily one of the best places in Dublin if you’re after authentic Neapolitan pizza and a slice of Italian soul.

Really tasty Italian pizza, with high quality ingredients (which is hard to find in Dublin). The garlic sauce was really tasty and not artificial. I ordered take away and it came hot and still fresh. Will come back one day in person!

Delicious pizza! We had a lovely meal. The staff were so lovely- we had our baby and our dog with us & they brought a container of water and a treat for the dog. The atmosphere was so cosy. 10/10 and looking forward to coming back!

I love Uno Pizza. The mortadella pizza is the best one. They have great icecream too. Nice pints of moretti. I even drew a picture on the back of the men, inspired by Italy of course. Ciao bambini!

I visited this store today and paid 20 euros in cash for some items. I usually pay by card, so I didn’t pay attention to the change. When I got home, I realized I didn’t take my 6 euros change. I returned to the store and talked to a staff member. She told me that the next customer took my change and that she couldn’t do anything about it. I feel very disrespected by this situation. This can be seen as theft inside your store, and your staff acted like this is normal. I was expecting, at the very least, to get my change back.

I well never shop in this shop again as I went to Exchange baby formula from number 2 to a number 1 as I got the wrong one had Receiptand I was told no I wasn’t allowed. I think that is very disgraceful and it’s the shop that’s just trying to make money very disgraceful. I will be going to a Solicitor as the security guard was following me around the shops constantly and stuff like that so I had to go and buy more baby formula and keep the number 2 formula that they wouldn’t even exchange them. That is the most disgraceful thing I have ever heard in my life.and I well be going to a solicitor about this as the shop is only robbing you as well very Real staff that work there Iv only move round the area and not happy wit super valu Ranelagh staff they way they treat the customers they shouldn’t get any stars the shop should be shut down

I had a frustrating and disappointing experience at this supermarket due to conflicting information about the car park refund policy. The first staff member told me to rip off a part of the parking ticket, but when I went to get the refund after shopping. I was told by a rude lady I needed to return to my car and bring the complete ticket. After doing so, she kept the entire parking ticket without telling me in advance or during our conversation, which meant I was unable to leave the car in the car park—even though I still had time left on the ticket. Poor communication and unhelpful service made the situation unnecessarily stressful. I will not be shopping there again. Attached photo I had cut from the issued line following the first person request. Stay clear of this place.

I have to say the staff are so rude. Which is so sad, because it would be a lovely place to shop (other than the quality of the fresh produce which is not great). They really bring the value of the place down.

The staff and manager at this SuperValu store need proper training—very poor customer service and a lack of politeness. Easily the worst SuperValu in Dublin. The only phrase they seem to know is, “We can’t do anything.”

Well stocked store , good selection of produce ; abysmal customer service upon inquiring as to the location of an item . Shocking . Self-serve checkout Only . Parking is limited .

Some friends and I purchased jambons this evening. Completely dry and burnt out. Basically just pastry and black ham. Not impressed.

Cute bakery with a ton of really nice treats. The variety of baked goods is one of the best I’ve seen in the area. Slightly expensive but they really do have a focus on quality. I haven’t tasted a more authentic cardamom bun in my life! The space is a bit awkward but overall a really solid spot.

The rhubarb cream brioche from Elliot’s might just be the best thing I’ve ever eaten. It’s the perfect balance of tangy, creamy, zesty, perfectly sweet but not too sweet, just delightful. Honestly, everything I’ve tried from Elliot’s has been great. Their basque cheesecake is gorgeous. The only downside is if you want options, get there before 10 AM on weekends. The shop closes at 3 PM, but most of the stuff is gone by 11

Stef always looks after me and makes my day so much better. Adding that and a really nice coffee and a pastry is the perfect combo to come back. But aside from that the whole crew look after me with a smile in their face. Couldn’t love and recommend this place enough!

The pastries were a little disappointing overall, especially given the high expectations we had after hearing so many great reviews. The almond croissant was quite sweet and didn’t have much almond flavour, it seemed to use a flavoured pastry cream rather than a traditional baked frangipane filling. The honey and sea salt croissant was our favourite of the selection, though we felt it could have been even better with a more distinct honey flavour. That said, the pastry quality itself was excellent, beautifully laminated with a lovely texture. Where things fell short for us was in the fillings and flavour combinations, which at times didn’t fully complement each other. For instance, in the Pain Suisse, the chocolate was quite bitter and overpowered the pastry cream, which wasn’t strong enough to balance it out. The banana bread had a pleasant texture and flavour, though we felt the addition of chocolate took away slightly from its simplicity. It’s clear that everything is made with great care, and the staff were both knowledgeable and welcoming. We did visit around midday, so it’s possible we missed some of their best items, as a number of products were already sold out. Overall, while the pastries weren’t quite to our personal taste, it’s easy to see why this bakery has such a strong reputation and we’d be open to returning to try other items in the future.

OMG! What a place! There’s always a bit of trepidation when trying out somewhere with a very strong Instagram page. Is it all style over substance? Answer: emphatically not! The pastries are to die for. Perfectly looking croissants that turn out to be perfectly tasting, flavour and texture. Super looking pastries that are super light and full of flavour. Their cheese and ham toastie is sublime too. Nice friendly people. Worth a very long detour to check out – surely one of the very best bakeries in Dublin?

I used to come to Phibsborough mainly for the flea market—browsing vintage finds and quirky treasures was the highlight of my weekend. While in the area, I’d usually grab a bite somewhere nearby, just to keep me going. But that’s changed. Now, I come to Phibsborough for Elliot Micro Bakery. The flea market? That’s just a bonus. From the moment you step inside, there’s a warmth that hits you. The coffee is consistently excellent, smooth and rich, and the bakes? Truly something else. The cakes are indulgent but not overdone, the kind that feel homemade but elevated. The bread is the real hero though—crusty, fragrant, and full of character. It’s the sort of loaf that makes you plan a meal around it. Elliot has turned into a small obsession of mine. What used to be a stopover is now a destination. Phibsborough’s got a gem here—and if you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out

I visited this bakery for the first time today, already in love with it from the photos I’d seen on Instagram —and it did not disappoint! The service was fast, efficient, and friendly, and the pastries were absolutely delicious. I tried the rustic baguette, which was amazing, but the almond croissant completely stole my heart. Choosing between it, the almond croissant, and the cinnamon roll was tough, but I have a new favorite. Can’t wait to go back for more! The only downside? They don’t have the Ramón baguette on weekends 🥲 that’s a pity!

Popped in this morning for an Almond Croissant. Possibly the best (certainly the largest) I’ve experienced. The coffee tasted unique too. Sharing tables available. Staff very polite and helpful.

I’m happy that I finally can tell about this bakery. After almost 10 times visits, Elliot becomes my favorite in the city centre. Here are some evidences. 1. Great location It is located nearby Camden street which is very busy spot in Dublin. 2. Freshness Sadly they sold out very quickly but also it is very fresh. And they do seasonal selections as well which makes them very interesting. 3. Atmosphere I’m not sure about another one but the city centre one is built very newly. I looove their big sign on the building and greeny mood except for when it is too busy and the tables are unclean with loads of flakes. Overall, I always love to visit and they always compliment something I have and supersuper nice. My recommendation : Honey&salt croissant, Seasonal brioche or pastry

Charming vibe, but don’t expect to settle in for long, there’s barely any seating, and it’s limited to outside tables. That said, their almond croissant is a winner: flaky pastry, perfectly balanced filling that’s not too sweet, and a generous topping of roasted almonds that adds a lovely crunch. I’ve had better matcha elsewhere, but their almond milk matcha latte paired nicely with the croissant, making for a pleasant treat overall :)

Loved the pastries and the vibes! Perfect for a quiet morning with some coffee and pastry. The staff was friendly and warm. I went in for the blueberry croissant tart but unfortunately its weekends only. Tried the plum brioche bun and it was lovely as well.

Cute bakery with excellent selection of sweet and savoury treats, and great coffee/hot chocolate.Somewhat limited seating to eat in, but we were lucky enough to get a spot. Had the babka swirl and the pizza focaccia, both were delicious. Great service from friendly staff.

The pastries …. I love them so much- not only do they look fabulous but they’re genuinely all delicious. Sausage rolls are 11/10 The other pastry pictured was a kimchi pastry When getting other pastries to go they’re well packaged and travel well too. All the staff are so lovely, like the nicest people to interact with at 9am on a Saturday I have had pretty good matcha twice, though they have been rather different both times (made by different staff members)

Good and freshly baked pastries with a few missing details such as they don't have the bread slicer or tend to serve coffee in a take away cup despite sitting in. Pastries at times are served a bit cold or seems not fresh. Such a pity . They could keep them warm

Artybaker is a small space, but it offers a great selection of breads and pastries. The loaf is definitely delicious, and the cappuccino was flavorful, creamy, and well made. Highly recommend it.

4.6/5, some of the best croissants I’ve tried & the other pastries are very nice as well! We tried the cinnamon roll, Swiss chocolate chip pastry & some of their croissants- which are definitely their best!

Cute cafe, nice pastries ! Had the morning bun which was slightly over done Honey and sea salt croissant was nice Cinnamon bun was really good The maple and pecan pastry was lovely Coffee was good too, could be hotter. Nice cafe to visit in Kimmage.

Their coffee used to be great, But it has really gone downhill. The mocha more like a plain latte with almost no chocolate flavour, maybe it was because of a new barista.

Pastries and breads getting smaller and smaller compared to when they opened. Probably it depends by the chef because sometimes they are ok. But it's disappointing sometimes you go in and and the y charge 8 euros for 2 tiny pastries or almost 6 euro for a small loaf of bread. C'mon, go back to the quality/price level you had when you started here in Kimmage!

The highlights of our visit were the very friendly staff and the great coffee. The pastries were good but not standout (slightly over baked)

New sister-bakery shop opened across the way beside Grian Cafe. Went down to get a bagel today for lunch, staff were very nice, just a bit disappointed with the price of the bagel being at €10.50. Having paid this price I expected it to be a lot bigger than it was. Giving it a 3 star review as the flavours were nice but it would have been reasonably affordable at €7.00 in my opinion but I understand cost of rent and supplies have unfortunately made it the price it is. I’d recommend it as a once off treat definitely as it gives off New York vibes but I’d see it hard to go back again with the price it is.

I came in to order 16 cupcakes for my dad’s retirement party. They were absolutely delicious and a huge hit! Very easy walking distance from the heart of the city.

Absolutely delicious! First time ordering there. We got a vanilla sponge and chocolate buttercream birthday cake 🎂 The cake is huge! For the price. It's light, fluffy, not too sweet. My 1 year old really enjoyed her birthday cake ❤️ Girls were lovely as well! Overall, everything was amazing!

The bakeshop offers the closest to filipino classic cakes and breads. They got loads of options, from ube cake to yema cake, sans rival, spanish bread and pande coco The staff were all nice. The bakery doesnt have seating and parking option, as they r on the main road so plan ahead. Good value for the portion and the taste.

Got an ube cake for my sister's birthday the actual cake tasted fine but a bit eggy, and the buttercream tasted salty? for some reason. Maybe this was a once off thing because i've heard good things about their ube cake but this one was not it. Will try again

One of a kind cake shop in Dublin. Their Ube cake /purple yam cake is pretty famous all over Dublin. I tried their mango, ube and Pandan cakes,Not too sweet, even those who hate sweet cakes gonna love them for sure.They can custom make cakes, can write names over cakes in an immediate manner. Pandesal, mango rolls and other Filipino delicacies are available.

Loved every slice, we bought an Ube Yema Half Roll for my husband’s birthday, and it was delightful. I would’ve bought a full-size cake which I’m sure is as delicious as well, but we’re only in Dublin for a few days. I wish we have a bakeshop like this where we live xx

Ordered a square half mango, half ube cake from them. The frosting looked glossy and the flowers were beautiful. Every detail was followed, from the lattice frosting pattern along the side to the white border on top. The taste of the cake was amazing, especially the mango. The cake was light and perfectly moist and the bits of mango tasted fresh. Everything about the cake was stunning, and my guests were shocked at the beauty of it and really enjoyed both flavours. Thank you for the wonderful birthday cake.

I love these sweet Alfajores, they are simply delicious, I have also gifted them for Christmas or just because and the recipients have loved them too. I wish they had their own shop as it is a bit difficult to find them in the city centre.

Gordita’s handmade alfajores bring a unique Argentine taste to Ireland. The quality and amount of passion placed into making these cookies is something you can’t get anywhere else. Definitely a premium desert that you can’t miss.

This a true Argentinian dessert. They have the perfect combination between dulce de leche and the cookie. It’s a must if you come to Dublin!

Ordered the extremely delicious Alfie's for a friend. I had to reschedule the delivery due to personal issues and Gordita was so sweet and helpful. My friends were delighted with the goodies. The packaging is gorgeous as well, you can tell that a lot of love goes into it. Couldn't recommend enough!

I bought a box of Gorditas Montecitos and Alfies as a little treat to me for my birthday! They arrived today and the extra little touches that were added were just gorgeous and really made me smile! 🐇🐰 Made a coffee straight away to have with one, and oh my, they taste even better then I expected, they are simply divine! Taste phenomenal and worth every penny! Highly recommended if you're looking for something special! Fantastic service and extra tasty treats! Can't wait to purchase more in the future 💕

We have purchased from Gorditas Bakea a few times and we are absolutely hooked. Alfies are so delicious and scrumptious. They come in various colours and the filling inside is divine. The packaging is also top notch. They make a perfect treat and also a perfect gift for anyone with sweet tooth.

absolutely the best treats - I took a box back to my family in Argentina and even they love them and the quality bar for alfies in Argentina is quite high!

The staff lady was rude to the core. I am an immigrant I wanted desert suggestions for a dinner as I am not yet familiar with the social formalities here, the lady had a bad attitude with degrading, insulting tone. worst representation. Never going back. I took out a cake and a tart. They tasted amazing everyone loved it. Just bad customer service.

This bread and cake shop is owned by an Austrian baker'----' fabulous ' and exotic fare on offer. Incredible taste explosion in every bite-----cream cakes to die for----this is where to go for that special treat for Birthdays --- anniverseries.----loved by all. .

Got a wrap with one piece of lettuce, tiniest handful of everything else. Should have walked down to centra prob would have gotten better. Would have been cheaper too, could have also sat down. Dunno how they justify their prices. Doesn't go into customer service either.

Their cakes are best everyone knows that 🎂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 but their stuffs are even nicer ❤️ very helpful! Called to double check with me a week before the date ☑️☑️☑️

Great rolls,pastries and nice coffee. A little more expensive than your average deli but worth it.

The selection of treasures here is fantastic, just by looking at what is in front of you , you would start salivating with delight, and the service is great , well worth a visit

Good sandwich and wraps and hot chocolate

It’s really annoying that they don’t respect their opening times. Went there so many times and it was closed when it should be open

Pastries are unreal, love them But the coffee left a lot to be desired
