    The Ruby
    Daire S.

    Oxmantown do the best brownies in Dublin. They are amazing. They are full of nuts and are incredibly gooey and soft on the inside. So chocolatey. So very chocolatey. What makes them even better is the fact that they are only 75 cents. That is right; the best brownie in Dublin is only 75 cents. There are many places selling inferior brownies for more than 3 times that much. Oxmantown's brownies blow them out of the water in every possible way. The café is situated on Abbey street, just off Capel street. It is a nice little place; brightly lit and quiet with a great window to sit in and watch the trams go by. They do lovely homemade soups and some really good sandwiches. I got the Ruby (Reuben ; delicious pastrami on rye with saurkraut, pickles, horseradish and swiss cheese. Thoroughly delicious; the best Reuben I've had outside of New York. They have great coffee too (I think its Cloud Picker). My one issue with this place is its absurd opening hours; they open nice and early at 7.30am but they close very early too 4.00pm. When I have the chance to pop in at lunch time and pick up some brownies I do, but I am usually on my way home just after 4.00 so it is rare that I get to do that. I know it is a minor issue but I would love to make Oxmantown brownies a part of my walk home every day :P

    Pulled Pork Sandwich (€5.50)

    Oxmantown is such a gem! I came in here for lunch with a friend and upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the friendly guys behind the counter. They've got a nice number of sandwiches to select from on the wall, as well as an assortment of baked goods on the counter. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich (€5.50) and a Mint Lemonade, and by-golly, they were delicious. I thought the sandwich was a little dry because of the bap bread, but the flavors were definitely there. If you get anything out of the review, please take note that the Mint Lemonade is a god send. It is so refreshing, and I would highly recommend it--on a sunny day, people watching, sippin' on some lemonade... that's the good life. Oxmantown, I'm coming back for ye!

    Seriously good sandwiches and salads for lunch. There's not much room to eat in (standing space only), so it's strictly a take-away joint, but it's cute and friendly and the service is fast. The ham and cheese was particularly memorable and another great example of how simple ingredients done well can be mind-blowing. Oxmantown's version of this classic sandwich is made with real ham (chunks of moist tender meat, not the rubbery pre-sliced stuff from the supermarkets), gruyere, bechamel sauce, tomato and toasted to perfection on sourdough. SO good. The Lebanese salad was also fantastic. It was so fresh and bursting with interesting textures and flavours - hummous, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, cucumber, mint, olives, fresh chunks of nectarines... the flavours kept giving and giving. It's all served with a pita wrap, so is definitely a meal in itself but if you wanted to share, it's a nice counter-balance to the richness of any of the meaty sandwiches. Oh, and in the mornings, you can grab a cinnamon bun and a coffee for €3.50! Bargain!

    Ham & Cheese. Enjoyed every bite! Yum!

    Wow wow wow. I love sambos and man oh man do they make good sambos here! I've had this bookmarked for a while and as I'm rarely in this part of town I made a point of making a bee line to it yesterday when I was nearby! I actually really wanted to try their flatbread but they were all out. Not gonna lie, I was momentarily gutted. So I opted for their ham and cheese sandwich instead. DIVINE. This was without a doubt the nicest sandwich I've had in long long time. The ham was off the bone, there was Gruyere cheese, rocket, tomato and pickles! The bread itself was nice and chewy and fresh. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every single bite. It might be a few months until I'm in this part of town again but at least I know where to get some delicious grub to go!

    oh that brownie....!!

    The pulled pork is a must if you've never been before, but the corned beef should now be overlooked either.

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.

    I often went to the Dame Street location but it's closed within the last year or so. However,…read morethough this location is in the touristy Temple Bar neighborhood, I'm thankful it exists. Queen of Tarts (both locations) is by far one of my favorite tea room/bakeries. They carry only the finest sweets and teas. Everything is homemade. They do an excellent brunch as well. 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.
