    Giant crepe with my hand for size
    Cassandra H.

    This is a cute but busy little cafe, though they manage the crowds exceptionally well. I order an apple juice that was fresh juice and ended up making me sick (that is a me problem not the cafe's) and the 'brekkie' crepe which was as delicious as it was huge. The only negate would be that the server seemed annoyed to be there.

    Full Irish Breakfast
    Alexis K.

    I had my first Full Irish Breakfast here! It was actually so delicious. I don't usually love sausage, and nevertheless all the components were very tasty. My favorite parts were the sausages, bacon, and blood sausage. The tomato and bacon provided good balance of flavor to the plate as a whole. I paired it with a tea.

    I just arrived in Dublin for my second visit in the last year. My flight arrives at 5 AM and after dropping my luggage off at my hotel and walking around until 7 AM, I made my way over to this café. I had breakfast twice here last year, but realized that I hadn't left a review. Last year, I had the monkey business crêpe and an avocado toast. I enjoyed both very much. Today, I ordered the nutmeg cappuccino and a ham and cheese croissant. The service here during my three visits has been extremely friendly and welcoming. It is not rushed, and right now I am just sitting in the outdoor area reading my book because it's still pretty early. The indoor is pretty spacious and there are many tables outside. It is located in an alleyway where only pedestrians walk-through; no cars pass. A friend of mine came to Dublin in June and I recommended this café for breakfast. I'll be seeing her soon and I'm looking forward to hearing what she thought of it. The menu is pretty varied and there are many options. The prices are reasonable.

    Pleasant staff and good breakfast at Lemon Jelly Cafe. Not so much service after they deliver your food, so don't expect refills or anything else. The ambiance was bustling with a line 10 deep, nice decor and plenty of seating indoors and out. Today we had the sun-dried tomato, mozzarella and pesto omelette which was amazing 5/5 and the Henry crepe with chicken, melted cheddar cheese and baby spinach 4/4. Overall a good quick breakfast. Plenty of other menu options to choose from as well.

    We came here for breakfast at 11:30am on a Saturday and waited in about a 10-15 minute line before getting a table. I ordered the mini breakfast, which was really good. Overall, the place is very cute and service was quick and attentive. I would recommend stopping here for a bite to eat in the morning!

    Strawberry dream crepes (gluten free)
    Breanna R.

    I got the gluten free strawberry dream crepes. It was good but a little stiff in texture. Service was wonderful and it was great little cafe! I loved them accommodating for gluten free and the precautions they took to accommodate.

    Vegetarian Irish breakfast. (Good for those who don't care for sausage/black or white pudding)

    Food delicious and awesome service. Fresh pressed apple juice is delicious. Wish I could bottle it up an take it home! We loved it so much we went back a second time.

    lemon zest, omelette
    Sarah S.

    lemon jelly is a very popular place it seems, as there was a line out the door in the rain when i went. we were a party of two, and got seated about 5 minutes after we arrived (ahead of other larger parties so keep that in mind). they served complementary water. i ordered the lemon zest crepe and my partner ordered an omelette. the crepe was exactly as expected; light and refreshing with the lemon. the omelette was MASSIVE and served with toast and high quality butter. this place is really busy, so don't expect too much attention or refills after you receive your food. the service was polite and they didn't rush us out.

    Flat white at Lemon Jelly, Dublin
    Bruce K.

    Considered on many lists to be the best breakfast in Dublin, I would say that it is pretty dang awesome. Arriving at brunch time on Monday morning in a light drizzle, you can expect to wait. The queue moves, but not quickly. They do not push people to leave here at all. A latte and a flat white for breakfast. They took about 15 minutes to be prepared while I watched the crowds in the rain through the window. The flat white was excellent - perfect cup of coffee. The omelet was very good and the toast was good. You can dawdle but it's not encouraged. And you're definitely not setting up a laptop if there's a queue. Enjoy your breakfast and move on.

    Smoothie  & cappuccino- couldn't decide which I wanted, so I ordered both !
    CJ T.

    Place sounded appetizing and had decent reviews, so we decided to pop in for a late breakfast. I ordered the Brekke crepe. When I think of a crepe, I think of it as thin and delicate, soft and moist enough to put a fork through. The crepe I had was thick and more like a sandwich wrap. I looked around and saw other crepes that looked exactly the same. Thick and dry. Almost tough. Therefore I would never order a crepe from here again. Apologies for showing a picture of the half eaten thing, but I felt compelled to take the pic for the record. In my pic you only see a crepe because that it, no extra effort at presentation...no garish, not a piece of fruit, nothing but the plate with a thick "crepe" folder in quarters. The inside of the "wrap/crepe" had next to nothing too. Prior to the pic I had already eaten the ONE over easy egg that was inside. I scrapped it out to eat separately, because I wasn't gonna waste calories eating on a tasteless "wrap", with the pathetic "cheese" they squeezed in there. It just wasn't appetizing. I did enjoy the cappuccino. The smoothy I ordered, called the Energy Injection, was supposed to be "banana, strawberry, orange juice and honey, mixed with a low fat frozen yogurt".....It tasted like just all strawberry, didn't taste the banana, honey or OJ. It's great if you're a strawberry super fan, not so great if you are not and were expecting more flavors. We were initially seated right by door. It was a chilly morning. The hostess guy, when he grabbed people from the outside queue to seat people, kept leaving the door wide open. No regard for the wind coming in on inside guest. We did see another hostess talking to people in the queue outside and seating people. She thoughtfully and carefully kept the door slightly closed. Not the dude. Prior to our food coming out - and after a few spots opened up and no one was left in queue, we asked to moved to another table. To their credit they did accommodate our request. Our waiter was nice. He was busy and hardly came by, but when he delivered the food & drinks and when we flagged him down to ask if we could get the check, he was always pleasant.

    Eggs

    The place was nice and the workers were friendly. My only complain is the bacon. It tasted like bacon that is dehydrated and put in salads. I would had given them a better review if the bacon was better.

    A common theme for my Dublin adventures: everyone was super friendly, even at Lemon Jelly. We walked in and were seated immediately. Ordered 2 vegetarian breakfasts, a regular coffee and an orange mocha. To be fair, there was a bit of a confusion and I was given a regular mocha but can't complain overall. The Irish Vegetarian was good! Eggs perfectly cooked. Hash brown crisp and salty. The star of the show was the mushrooms though. Obscenely savory, I'm not sure what they did to them but I was addicted. The mocha I ordered was not too sweet with a bitter edge (which I enjoy). It kept me full for hours on end. Well worth the price!

    Left: Raspberry Sensation Smoothie Right: Iced Tiramisu
    Cynthia Y.

    Stopped by for a Iced Tiramisu w/ Almond Milk (less sweet) and Raspberry Sensation Smoothie. Enjoyed the Iced Tiramisu (don't think it taste like Tiramisu though lol). The Raspberry Sensation Smoothie was too sweet for me though. Cute/nice spot. Wish we had time/room to try the food!

Since I don't eat red meat, I was very excited to see a vegetarian Irish breakfast option. I ordered this as well as a mocha latte. Despite the rain, my friend and I sat outside since all of the indoor seating was occupied. Thankfully some heaters provided warmth for what could've been a chilly breakfast. Very quickly the lattes came out which my friend and I sipped on. They were soooo cute, mine had the design of a little bear on top! The latte itself was hot and not too sweet, the perfect start to the experience. After a few short minutes, the food came out! Immediately, my friend and I dug in. It was honestly everything I expected and even more! There were no weak links on the plate and there were generous portions as well. I sat there for a while working my way through my delicious plate!! Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Beanhive. It was an aesthetic cafe that also provided a hearty breakfast. I would definitely recommend.

The portion sizes kind of seem small but that could be because my girlfriend and I split everything and it was basically a couple of bites from each other's dishes. We got the blueberry lemon pancakes, and a meat dish for the needed protein, so one savory and one sweet, the way breakfast is meant to be worshipped and devoured simultaneously. Beautiful, small place that gets packed very quickly. Interestingly enough I thought it was a French bistro, but I believe the owners hail from Ukraine as that is the country flag that was hung outside the shape if my world history learnings are correct. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and would come back in a New York minute if I get the chance to visit Dublin again. As always people SYOY!!!

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! For me it was a 4, but I'm sure for some it would bop up to a 5.

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.
