Bawnogue is generally associated with being a hub for bank robbers and those affiliated with the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics and certainly not with culinary delight! Honeycomb is a hidden gem! It's warm and inviting it's a really nice place to be! It feels like your living room with friendly bubbly staff. The food is really good, chicken club was amazing smally got a dippy poached egg with soldiers and it was lovely! The food was good take my word for that but it was the experience I enjoyed most!

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.

If you are yearning for legit Irish Sausage Rolls you can find them here at The Bakery (great name…read morelol).

They welcomed us and gave me and my american friends advice on what to do in Ireland for the weekend. They even ripped open two cake boxes to show us their beautiful creations and woo us. We bought an apple pie. And some tomato bread. To be quite honest, it was my first pie ever, and maybe I'm not a pie person but the apples were really not sweet but a bit sour. But the tomato bread was so delicious! I know this bakery is good though so definitely worth a visit!

Hands down BEST bakery in town!!…read more Everything is made fresh from scratch. All natural ingredients. The flavors and textures are the best that baked food can ever present. Their croissants and the flavors are all so delicious, light, airy and flaky. They savory pastries are the best!! Their brownies, OMG heat it up in the microwave for like 8-10 seconds. Serve it with sherbet... melts in your mouth, rich and delicious!! Absolutely stunning!! Seasonal baked items are great too. Arrive early as the options sell out quick. Sometimes they even close early. Yes, the queue is totally worth it, trust me! They are closed Sunday through Tuesday and for a few of weeks during new years. My family and I are obsessed with this bakery and we always try to visit it every time we visit Ireland, and it's disappointing when they are closed for the holidays lol that's how good they are. Side comparison: people arguably think Bread 41 is the best in town and that bakery is amazing too. But I believe because of the location of this bakery, they haven't tried this bakery yet to give that trophy name to. At least that's my Personal opinion lol

By chance, I was on my way to Boots in Rathmines when I walked in front of a shiny new storefront…read morefor The Natural Bakery, and I was instantly seduced by their gorgeous storefront. This is the third location for the popular bakery. The first opened in Kilmainham, and with lines of people waiting to buy bread and sweet baked treats, the owner, Luke Creighton, followed his success with a site in Donnybrook and now (lucky, lucky us!) in Rathmines. I hadn't heard of this burgeoning chain, but after seeing the new Rathmines location, I'm curious to see the others. I wasn't kidding about the luscious display in the window (I'll have to go back and take a photo of the storefront soon!), but I was even more impressed when I walked in the store. The space is narrower than it is long, and they've made the most of it with the left side featuring clean, sleek, bread-filled shelves that invite the eye to inspect seed, fruit, and grain filled loaves, rounds, scones, and much more. If you can't tell, I really appreciate beautiful bread, and I couldn't believe the reasonable prices. More on that in a moment. It honestly took me a few minutes to turn around and see what most people would probably find the most enticing: the dozens of sweet treats behind the long "bar" where the loveliest people await your sweet wishes. The Natural Bakery serves coffee and has a generous, raised seating area at the back of the shop where weary shoppers, families, gossiping friends and just anyone who can imagine an excuse to stop and have a coffee and a pastry might enjoy a break with the most beautiful, fragrant view of the shop and the street beyond. I honestly don't know how they managed to do it, but The Natural Bakery folks created an environment that feels like a specialty boutique shopping experience, a relaxing respite served by quick staff who nonetheless seem laid-back, and an intoxicating sensory experience with delights for the eye, sense of smell, and taste. Actually, I even liked the music! To give their wares a try, I chose a huge berry and nut-laden scone for €1.60, and an equally-laden sourdough baguettes with cranberries for the ridiculous price of only €2.00. A full loaf of sourdough bread packed with cranberries, if I could possibly have found use for it (I just might go back in the morning and buy one for an early meeting that I have tomorrow), was only €4.00. I think good bread might generally be cheaper here in Ireland than it is in the U.S.A., but this still seems like a great price to me. The Natural Bakery makes their own breads and pastries. The Rathmines store is served by the ovens at their Donnybrook location, which is perhaps a 15-minute drive away. As someone who worked as a baker, I honestly admire what The Natural Baker offers customers. I know how difficult it is to produce beautiful bread and consistent pastries, and I know what a challenge it is to do it every day. To do all of that, to have a shop that is truly inviting, and to have staff that does them even more credit.... I truly don't know what to say. I hope the standard continues because I have family planning to visit, and this is one of the "must visit" places in Dublin that I plan to share.

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 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!

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.
