I came across this charming cafe one Saturday morning. It's hidden slightly from the main malahide…read moreroad. Since then I have been back on numerous occasions for breakfast-lunch and dinner. The decor is modern yet homely and cute. They have a shop at the side with really nice home ornaments/paintings/candles etc. really unique items. The most important part, the food. Everything so far has been presented and tasted amazing. All fresh bread, healthy /gluten free options and some unhealthy but who cares home made cakes. On my last visit I couldn't resist the warm chocolate fudge brownie with fresh cream on the side. This was after having a tapas style lunch( a chefs special that day). Service every time has been friendly, quick and professional. Give it a shot some weekend lunch time and you won't leave for ages .........great food, cakes and tea. All for a good price! Enjoy

So Tillies makes me very sad, but also very happy! It seems the masses of Clontarf do be in and out of here all day and everyone is really friendly. 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.

There was a smoked salmon quiche and another type of quiche also, a pasta option and sandwich options too. I went for the plain-sounding panini, not sure of what to choose. The friendly waitress offered me relish or pesto on the side, I went for relish. A taste explosion. The bread was fresh and wholesome, the salad dressing zingy and fresh, the relish spicy and warming, the combination of the food together, a tastebud treat. I didn't sample any of the amazing-smelling croissants, pain au chocolat and brownies, as it is lent (self-torture, wha?!!) so I will be going back in 45 days to sample the tasties!

After a long international flight from the states we were hungry and just wanted to enjoy the morning. They were pretty busy and it took us a while to order but we were so tired it felt good to just sit back and enjoy the environment. The food was tasty. They do not have many allergy options (gluten free) so if you have celiac and are hungry it would be best to choose somewhere else... the coffee however was great and fit my needs. My husband enjoyed the traditional Irish breakfast.

For lunch I ordered the avo toast with salmon and eggs and was thoroughly disappointed. Firstly it took about 25 minutes to come out, and the place wasn't busy at all. The 'toast' was in actual fact slightly warm bread and the avo spread on it turned it into mush. The salmon was delicious, however the two fried eggs on top were entirely overcooked. Half the yolk was hard and burnt while the other half was runny and cold. On top was sprinkled some dry rocket leaves: no dressing, no salt and pepper on the tables, not even a slice of lemon on the side. I was so disappointed. And what was more scandalous was that this dish cost €8.95! Avoid.

The staff are super friendly and attentive, the menu ranges from booster smoothies/juices, porridge, salads, paleo treats and the infamous pancakes.

This is one of those places that just "gets" good food - from the sandwiches (grilled cheese to die for) to the salads (watermelon feta & tomato !!) to the amazing pizzas to the awesome coffee and deserts there is literally nothing that I don't like. My only problem when I call in is what to choose - I could commit gluttony !! Of course everyone has a favorite so I can never leave without taking some of the deviled crab with me - it is literally one of the best things I have ever eaten in my entire life. It is amazing on crackers or in a salad and lets be honest I have been found eating it straight from the tub. The place has a really cool style and a kind of NYC vibe with a big blackboard of the days specials. I love that there is a new board up every day with the day and date so you know each day is thought out and put together fresh. They also post it on Facebook so you can check whats on. It is run by two really lovely local sisters and there is a super friendly family atmosphere in the place - when I bring my two year old nephew with me he goes straight behind the counter and gets hugs and kisses and some little treat. Next time you are on your way out to Howth make sure you stop in and see whats on offer - Definitely not to be passed by !

I think that you can really tell that the ingredients are really fresh and its refreshing to come across a deli that takes pride in making the menu more creative (they vary their menu a big everyday). The staff are warm and engaging and easy to chat with. It is small and all the seating that they have is outdoor so it's more somewhere you would go to for something on the go. They've done a lot with the small space they have and have the Italy/NYC vibe down in terms of their decor and branding. In terms of food I would recommend the pizzas and the toasties. They run promos like toasty Tuesday's where all toasties on Tuesday are a fiver. Ding dong!
