Theres no tesco, Tim Horton's or supervalu in the ajdoining shop except for a small store with the basics. They don't even have a coffee machine, shock horror!Late shopper across the road does though. Simple, cheap and reliable. The only downside to this place is of course its a victim of it's own success and its fairly small so expect to be waiting for a pump, beside a taxi most likely.

This filling station is gas (sorry couldn't help myself). It has a relatively small and oddly…read moreshaped forecourt, but yet the drivers come in their droves to fill up here. The price of fuel here per litre is always the best in the area. Why three stars? Their price of solid fuel is obscene. 4.99 EUR for a bale of briquettes. No thanks. Also, the forecourt makes for a lot of waiting in line, as there is really no room to go around anyone that might be in front of you. So as a result you may not actually get onto the premises and you'd have to keep driving. But if you can get onto the forecourt and you have the time to wait, then fill her up!

The store it's self is very short on goods but it is a small store and they do offer gas, so that's a plus. Over all I guess it does what it's there for.

This forecourt is particularly large which means that you can drive past a sitting car to get to a free pump rather than waiting for the car in the way to finish. There is also a fair few parking spaces to the side if you're just popping into the shop and not getting petrol.

The esso is in a perfect in-between place between town and more suburban areas and between Rathmines/Ratghar/Terenure. If you're in the area and you're running a bit low on petrol don't forget this is here! Or if you're like my friend and you need to check the air in your tires before heading down the country they've got that too.

It has a wide selection of freshly baked goods, doughnuts, sandwiches, tarts, you name it. Coffee is great, most creamy latte I've had in a while, and a large tea collection including a Puerh teabag. Wonders! I got the blueberry and custard tartlette, biggest sugar rush ever! This cafe is inviting to sit and watch the world go by Stillorgan Road. Sofas, high seats and plenty of plugs for the ole laptop. Good to go!

The shop is huge and the staff friendly, they have a really nice café in there and a hot deli counter that just screams "relax, have a coffee, maybe try one of these oh so delicious breakfast rolls or perhaps just a warm buttery croissant. There is the usual array of services outside as well.. a carwash, air, water yada yada yada but its all about the inside for me.
