    Beets By Ray juice to start the day off right!
    Ainsley E.

    Lovely atmosphere in here and fantastic food. I had a beet juice and the Turkish eggs -- wonderful flavors and the perfect amount of food for me. The sourdough bread was toasted perfectly and was a generous portion. My partner enjoyed his black coffee and squash eggs. A delightful meal on a super sunny Thursday morning in the open air. Ahhhh.

    Delicious breakfast in s cozy spot! We had the french toast with apricots and my fiance got the butternut squash egg dish. The only drawback was the bacon was American and I was expecting Irish bacon. But besides that the atmosphere (a real homey feel with cool art, odds and ends, and knick knacks) and service was great.

    I was quite disappointed with my visit to BiBi's, especially as I trekked half an hour across town, hungover, to have brunch here with the girls. We got there and were told there's a 30min wait for a table and they'd call us when the table is ready. We sat outside in the cold and waited. After 25mins a waitress comes out and asks us to please stand while we are waiting and there were still 2 parties ahead of us. Apparently people wanted to eat outside, something that was not offered to us earlier. At that stage, we decided to leave just as another staff member called to say our table is ready. So yeah, that system seems to work really well for them ... The service we received once seated was excellent. We were looked after with plenty of cucumber/mint water straight away; we ordered black coffee, mocha and a hot chocolate, hazelnut and peanut butter brownies and the black pudding on sourdough with poached eggs. The brownies were amazing but the egg dish I wouldn't order again. It was just okay. The people that were seated on the other end of our table (yes, we had to share our table) had the French Toast which looked much more appetizing. The interior is really pretty and although they are very busy, the service was very friendly and quick. I'd give them another go some other time.

    The owners of a bed and breakfast my son and I were staying in had a family emergency and graciously gave us funds and a recommendation for a local breakfast spot. Bibi's didn't disappoint. The squash eggs were delicious; a dish I still try to replicate at home 3 years later.

    Bibi's Café was a good surprise. Hidden in a peaceful street at the North of the Canal, no one would expect such a cute Breakfast place. Small and cozy, let me tell you that it deserves its rating. Nomnomnom, after a little walk on the canal, here I am on a sunny Sunday mor.... afternoon. First impression, the place. Very cute, a little girly, with a few 'weird art piece'. I like that :). The service was okay, the dishes reaaaally good. I had the poached eggs, which were good (and the cooking was perfect), my other half had the grilled cheese. Mamma mia, it was delish! Except that it became a little sickening at the end, maybe a little too much butter. However, the association of the chutney with the ham and cheese was really worth feeling a little heavy afterwards. The bread was exceptionally good, and the granola too (even if I like it with more cluster, less muesly-like. But I'm quibbling). To finish, the juice were tasty, but I can't get over the fact that despite they were made of the day, they were served in individual, single use bottles. Think of Mother Nature, good lord! Or maybe think of doing your own juices? Anyway, except for one or two details, this was a great experience. Thank you Bibi's café, next time I'll try to enjoy your cute terrace!

    This is the Sunday brunch I have been looking for - perfectly prepared french toast with a sweet syrup and stacked with bacon - served with a good strong coffee. it was fantastic. Junior chose the beans on toast - a less impressive dish which had him gazing wistfully at mine. A better father would have shared or even swapped but "nuts to him" I thought, he will treat this as a life lesson, I dug into my lovely bacon and toast with relish. ...no, we shared, though I did so grudgingly, it was really very good. For 3 of us, 3 dishes and 2 coffees the bill came to less than 30 Euro, which was very good and streets ahead of sister Sadie from a couple of weeks ago. Only thing I'd say is you should go early - certainly for a Sunday morn where the place filled up incredibly quickly after opening.

    Brioche French toast
    Kerry L.

    This is about two weeks late however I wanted to be sure to post a review as my sister and I LOVED Bibi's, especially being tourists. First, it was our last day in Dublin and we wanted to find a quiet breakfast spot so we poked around Yelp. The reviews and menu looked good so we thought we'd give it a try. The food was amazing!!! We shared strawberry brioche French toast and poached eggs with bacon on English muffins (basically eggs Benedict). Both of us thought the food tasted so wonderfully and the presentation was perfect! The restaurant itself was adorable. The decor and set up was very cute, almost shabby chic-like. At first we definitely felt like it was clearly a locals spot and we felt a little out of place but the waitresses were very friendly. After we finished, we asked for some advice on where to venture out to for our last day in Ireland and a couple of them gave us great advice to take the train to Dun Laoghaire, walk around the beach, and have ice cream at Teddy's. We took their advice and had a wonderful last day in Ireland. I wish I could remember their names but thanks again to the girls working that morning! We really appreciated it!!

    I love Bibi's, the food here is great quality, fresh, wholesome and cooked to perfection. I've tried sweet and savoury and will keep coming back for more. The coffee is nothing to write home about, they could do with employing a quality barista on the weekends. But the eggs, the french toast, the scones, the brownies, the cakes, everything else is so delicious it makes me want to just sit with the paper and graze all day. It's usually busy so pop along early if you want to get a seat!

    Squash Eggs
    M A.

    This place is amazing. I am still dreaming about the Squash eggs w/ black pudding and coconut milk latte 3 weeks later. I live in NYC so it is really upsetting that I cannot eat here at my convenience. I definitely think the service was a bit slow but I was totally ok with that. I was not in any rush. If you are make sure you let them know when you sit. Also, this place gets packed! Make sure you show up right when they open or be prepared to wait a while. Lots of people got turned away while I was sitting outside. PS. They have an awning outside and it is just so nice to sit out there when it is raining. It was perfection and I think my favorite brunch meal EVER!

    French toast w/ strawberries and cannoli sauce
    Ella M.

    Bibi's cafe was walking distance from our air bnb and we visited this location twice for breakfast. The path to Bibi's cafe involves walking through residential streets and may be a bit confusing if maps aren't your friends. There is outside seating as well as inside seating. The first time we went there, we sat outside and sat inside on our second visit. I liked that each table had a little vase with fresh flowers on it and the server immediately brought a jug of cucumber and mint infused water with drinking glasses for us. First day I had Turkish eggs and a coconut latte (as pictured). The meal was delicious but I was not a fan of the latte (I could not taste the espresso in it, just coconut). The second day I ordered sweet toast with strawberries which was also very scrumptious. The prices were fair, around 10 euro per breakfast entree and portions were reasonable. A tip for tourists like myself: seat yourself and when you are ready to leave after having your meal, go up to the cashier and pay for (do not expect them to bring a bill to your table). I definitely recommend you give this place a visit!

It also came with sausage, sunny side up egg, sweet beans and ham.

Maybe sarcastic but not rude. What was annoying was them telling everyone their credit card machine would be down and then you'd have to wash dishes or stay until it came back up.

We pushed back a little and said you've literally said that to everyone then the guy became rude. So we get out cash and go to pay and he's like oh I'm restarting the machine you can pay by card. That was annoying. Other than that place was small and quaint. Serves traditional Irish breakfast items. Food was good, just don't expect anything to be favorable. Food in general in Ireland is very bland.

I didn't wait more than 5/10 minutes. I grabbed a couple of different things for us to try -- the focaccia, morning bun, salted caramel roll, and the cinnamon roll. My favorite was easily the focaccia, which could compete with the best I had in Italy -- so good. The morning bun was good, but nothing crazy exciting. The salted caramel roll had to be the least caramel-y caramel roll I've ever had, but it didn't taste bad and the salted part was interesting (in a good way!). The Cinnamon roll was unique, which I appreciate. It had a big glob of cream cheese frosting (too much for me, but I imagine it would float a lot of folks' boats) and some orange flavoring! I quite liked the orange. I wanted to get a matcha to go, but they said they didn't have disposable cups. You could buy a 5 euro reusable one and then if you brought it back you'd get a refund... interesting, but I was leaving that day and wouldn't be back in the area. I can't speak to the ambiance because we were in and out, but it looked like they had a decent amount of space. All in all, I would recommend this place!

If you're dining in, you order at the counter and get a table number to place wherever you decide to sit. There's plenty of seating inside which is a plus. What I got: -Potato danish- savory; slight salty, crispy flakey layers. -Sausage roll- slightly salty for my preference, but has a very crispy crust and a meaty sausage in the middle. We went back a second time on our trip and got a few more pastries, all of which were very delicious. The pastries were hot, flakey, glistening, delicate, and perfectly sweet on both visits. I would definitely come back if I were to visit Dublin again.

For my tastes the double baked eggs were overdone, but that's double baked for you. Everything else was so delicious though that I truly didn't even notice. It was a wonderful pile of meat overflowing out of a little skillet with a stack of soda bread and butter. Truly it was a delight. I also ordered up their irish coffee. This was especially fun because it's not a simple shot of whiskey, coffee and cream. They create a brown sugar syrup blended with the whiskey to cook off the alcohol but retain the flavor.

I walked in on a Wednesday morning, right as they opened at 9am, and was seated immediately. The sit-in part of Brother Hubbard is bright, relaxing, spacious with plenty of tables inside and there's a patio outside with plenty of tables as well. The waitress came over with a menu and gave me plenty of time to look it over. She was very courteous and pleasant, checking in throughout my time there, never hovering. For breakfast, I ordered an Americano, a ginger scone, and their Irish Oat Porridge - Classic. Their porridge is organic oats made with milk and with ordering it as "Classic", it was served with cream and honey. Starting with the ginger scone, this was another case of a perfectly baked scone - Crispy, golden exterior with a moist, buttery interior. The flavor of ginger was perfectly balanced and the raisins inside were a nice supplement to the scone. The porridge was really good, I loved the creaminess of it! Both did a nice job of filling me up and setting me up for the day of walking to come. Funny enough, around 3:30pm, I stopped here again to grab a mid-afternoon treat and ordered the chocolate and hazelnut Babka, their soft bun filled with chocolate and toasted hazelnuts. This pastry was crazy tasty! A slightly crispy exterior with a croissant-like inside chocked full of chocolate and those toasted hazelnuts. This was so rich and truly decadent. Brother Hubbard is a gem of a breakfast and pastry spot! I appreciate the relaxing café environment with friendly staff and high-quality food.
