We became obsessed with this cute coffee shop. We were staying at a place nearby, so everyday we…read morestopped by for breakfast. I think we tried almost everything on their breakfast menu. I think not only did we enjoy their food, but we also enjoy their incredibly friendly service. It is located in front of Kilmainham Gaol, so it is a good place to stop after visiting the infamous jail. Anyways, the scrambled eggs, bacon & toast and the honey ham sandwich were my favorite items. Every morning I got an espresso shot. Their coffee is Fairtrade and Rain Forest Alliance Certified.  5 stars. Highly recommended. Try one of their cookies.

I got there right at 8am (at opening), and they only took about 5-7 minutes to get my order ready. And pretty much right at opening, a line starts forming. That's pretty much a good tell tale sign that this is a good cafe. Will visit again the next time I'm in Dublin since it's right next to the hotel I stay at. Oh... and free wifi.

This was about 2.30 with the advertised closing time at 3, so we thought we'd have to settle for take out. Not a bit of it. We were waved to a table in a surprisingly small but cozy room just as a massive posse of, I'm guessing, law students from Blackhall Place also descended. Anyway, service was brisk and there seemed to be no pressure to leave so we upped our order to a spectacular BLT served with excellent chips. My companion ordered a scone which was pretty good too. Coffee was excellent. Will go back for a more substantial meal next time. The omens were pretty good.

On this particular day I ordered the Chorizo Benedict and it definitely looked good. All the ingredients were cooked enough but the flavor's didn't blend as much as I'm used to with Benny's. I think I would of liked it more if the Hollandaise sauce had just a little bit more flavor. Aside from that the decor is stunning and the staff like most people I've met in Ireland, were super kind!

History of Present Indulgence: Staying at The Hendrick in…read moreSmithfield (would recommend also btw), my wife and I were walking on our way to Temple Bar and needed some breakfast. Saw a bunch of construction workers through the window and knew it had to be a solid local spot with good bang for your buck. Physical Exam: Food - Had a full Irish and a breakfast sandwich. When I see we were satisfied, we were SATISFIED. Toast was toasty, beans were bean, shrooms were shroomy, meats were meaty. And that sandwich... *chef's kiss* Service - A true mom and pop run by what looks like a family. Simple, friendly, no complaints here. Ambiance - A hole in the wall, local joint, mom and pop, no frills. Grab your quick breakfast, grab your coffee, go on your merry way. Maybe the ventilation could've been better but I'm just nitpicking. Assessment/Plan: If you're trying to find something quick, affordable, and satiating, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough. Maybe a little out of the way if you're not staying nearby.

Run by a group of women and the lovely owner is from Enfield in county Meath. All the food from the farmhouse cafe comes from their farm and is made fresh everyday. The meat is from their animals and the bread and treats are baked in the cafe. I love how it has an old country house feel to it and the teacups and teapots are a random collection that look so pretty. My favourite thing from the menu was the Gammon sandwich. I no longer eat meat and this sandwich makes me struggle every time I see it on the menu. Oh the temptation.

I was here recently for a chin-wag with an old friend and we enjoyed our 90 minutes or so in the bright, bustling surroundings. We each had a cappuccino and a scone. The cappuccino was decent. Not too milky - just how like it. The scone was a wee bit dry but good all the same, served with cream and jam -my favourite! The staff were lovely, very friendly having chats with customers (everybody knows everybody so of course they are!) and just being generally smiley, which makes the cafe quite cheerful.

The scones have got to be some of the best ever. I've had a lot in my travels and these are grand. The service is always excellent as well. The decor is as charming as it gets. Proper tea service on floral patterned China, giving all the Marie Antoinette feels. A+.

Friendly service. For breakfast, I loved their vegetarian Irish breakfast that they no longer make, but they do have a traditional Irish breakfast. Only served for breakfast or all day during the weekend. Their pancakes were super delicious (€13). We tried it with honey, syrup, Nutella and banana's. These are served all day and everyday. I also tried their baked beans and kale that came with tomato baked beans and fried kale on bread and topped with fried eggs (€14.5). It was good. Another breakfast item that is served for breakfast or all day on the weekends. Their Caprese sandwich for lunch is addictive and they pair it with a great tasty bread (€11). Their cakes and teas are tasty, I love their chocolate cake. Their coffee, lattes and Mocha are average. But the experience and atmosphere still make them enjoyable. Overall, this is a place that I will always visit.
