    Gluten free cake
    Stephanie S.

    The inside of this place is so insanely cool, you just have to find it! Cute little cafe with stores surrounding it. Went for a sweet and got a gluten free orange pistachio cake, it was moist and delicious! The employees were very sweet and attentive. Great spot to chat!

    Loved this little place! The bagel had the best taste and chew, scones were amazing, and the Victoria sponge cake was unbelievable!!! Definitely coming back on my next trip to Dublin.

    Pretty cups and teapots combined with delicious baked goods make this the perfect spot to take a break from sightseeing and rest tired feet. Located in the repurposed city home of the Powerscourt family, The Pepperpot is on the second floor overlooking the courtyard area. It was fun to watch people come and go. The waitstaff were friendly and efficient, the tea and shortbread both yummy. Pop in for a restorative beverage and treat. You know those pastries are calling your name!

    I have been coming here for lunch since I moved to Dublin two years ago. I love this shopping center. You can sit on the balcony and people watch while you have lunch The soup is always a good choice. The tarts have all been fabulous. They try to use Irish sourced products. I highly recommend this place on a gloomy cloudy day. You can stay dry while still seeing the light outside. Staff very friendly.

    Warm scone
    Mai N.

    This was my first breakfast in Ireland and I'm not sure what I was expecting but the food here was average. There were limited items on the menu and nothing stood out except the scone and the fluffy eggs. The restaurant is located inside of a shopping center.

    Scone!

    Hidden inside a building, super cute gem. Loved the seating and area. It was crowded for a weekday, but we got seated within 5-10 minutes. Our waitress was a little aloof and didn't understand what we were asking for.. but we got it after the 4th time. Plus it was SUPER cold there.. so I sat with my jacket on the whole time. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a bagel. It was basically a bagel with scrambled eggs, but it was DELICIOUS! Super messy, but completely worth it. Boyfriend had the salmon bagel sandwich and also loved it. We shared a scone and it was great. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Scone with jam and cream
    Lizzy N.

    We discovered this gem on a food tour. They make small batch, homemade bagels which truly do rival New York's. We tried a bagel sandwich with bacon and cream cheese - weird combo but it totally works. I also had a delicious scone with jam and cream. It was good, but maybe a bit dense for a scone. I also sampled a bite of my boyfriends red pepper and goat cheese sandwich. First of all, it was colossal. It was good, but needed something else other than just those ingredients - it was too much goat cheese and a bit dull. It is a tight space and we were seated next to another two top and it was really snug.

    Salmon bagel
    Nnenna I.

    I don't know what the fuss is about this place. It was very busy on a Saturday morning and we were happy to get a table. I ordered a latte and a salmon, cream cheese bagel and it came with a small side salad. To be honest, there was nothing special and I was a bit disappointed as my friend had raved about it.

    Roast pear, bacon & cheese sandwich
    Sarah S.

    #Dublinshopslocal Came back here on a stormy Sunday day for lunch (not brunch as no alcohol) They have a lovely menu with a couple of specials but I chose the roast pear, bacon and cheese sandwich again and an Americano. They serve Ariosa coffee. Beautiful setting. Powerscourt centre is ready for Christmas and it is fab. The staff are always v pleasant. The sandwich though!!! OMG the bread was chunky but so soft and the filling was delicious. You can see why it's so popular... Wouldn't have put pear and bacon together but it was still oh sooo v good :) You should def try here!

    I want that teapot. Stat!

    Had a very lovely salad here yesterday. Strawberries, rocket, toasted halloumi, and (as requested as an extra by myself), bacon, with a kind of a tangy dressing on top. It was really, really good. Not an awful lot in it though (only three small bits of halloumi, and maybe the guts of two strawberries cut up), so definitely not worth the tenner price tag. It also came with the inclusion of some surprise cucumber which I wasn't too enamoured with! It's a lovely setting though, looking down over Powerscourt, drinking out of cute china, with the rain pouring on the glass ceiling above. I would go back and try something else, but just hope to get more bang for my buck next time!

    Scrambled egg with mushroom on toast & cup of mushroom soup (€10)
    Andy O.

    Pepperpot Cafe made me look forward to being hungover. Wait...what? As I ate the delicious scrambled eggs on a thick buttered wedge of toast, with a meaty giant mushroom on top, and sipping moreish mushroom soup, I thought "If I was hungover now, this would be curing me". And by god I'll be willing to put it to the test come my nearest weekend. The location is a nice one as you get to look out over powerscourt shopping centre from a high balcony. It's like the best part of being outside, but you're inside, caus Ireland! A definite recommend.

    Sausage sandwich
    Jennie C.

    Oh man, I love the sausage sandwich here; just thinking about it makes me drool. Sausage sandwich. Sausage sandwich. Sausage sandwich. That's all I can really say about this place - amazing sausage sandwich. Also, the elderflower fizzy drink they have here? Yum! The quiches are quite decent as well. I love sitting up here as the space is always sunny from the glass roofs. You may have to suffer a wait though for a seat - Pepperpot gets pretty crowded and hectic busy.

    Pulled pork with apple slaw and relish
    Darren C.

    This is the kind of place you'd dream of if you were looking to open your own wee cafe. Such a wonderful location, great friendly staff, super tasty variety of foody stuffs with unbeliveable desserts and coffee. I had the pulled pork, apple slaw with an incredible tangy relish. Honestly, I wasn't even that hungry and yet I was practically licking the plate!! Our party of three shared the chocolate cake which was decadent, moist and most importantly full of chocolate. They have a grest facebook page btw!!

Open early so if you're struggling to find a place, this is it. The Irish breakfast hits the spot - the buttery toast was heavenly and the blood sausage was my favorite part - hearty and delicious. It also came with sausage, sunny side up egg, sweet beans and ham. The service is like none other from the minute you walk in, you feel like you're at an old friends place and as you leave, they give you recommendations and a list of local bars and hangouts that Irish people love. When I go back to Dublin, I'm definitely going back here for breakfast.

Maybe sarcastic but not rude. What was annoying was them telling everyone their credit card machine would be down and then you'd have to wash dishes or stay until it came back up. They did this to the table next to us but then came back and seemed like it was a joke and was like "oh it's back up." When it came time for us to pay they said it was down and needed to pay cash. We pushed back a little and said you've literally said that to everyone then the guy became rude. So we get out cash and go to pay and he's like oh I'm restarting the machine you can pay by card. That was annoying. Other than that place was small and quaint. Serves traditional Irish breakfast items. Food was good, just don't expect anything to be favorable. Food in general in Ireland is very bland.

I didn't wait more than 5/10 minutes. I grabbed a couple of different things for us to try -- the focaccia, morning bun, salted caramel roll, and the cinnamon roll. 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.

If you're dining in, you order at the counter and get a table number to place wherever you decide to sit. There's plenty of seating inside which is a plus. What I got: -Potato danish- savory; slight salty, crispy flakey layers. -Sausage roll- slightly salty for my preference, but has a very crispy crust and a meaty sausage in the middle. We went back a second time on our trip and got a few more pastries, all of which were very delicious. The pastries were hot, flakey, glistening, delicate, and perfectly sweet on both visits. I would definitely come back if I were to visit Dublin again.

Sunken below street level it feels more off the main path and you have to keep your eyes out to find it easily. Walking in the place has a real chill and cozy vibe up front. I was seated right way and ordered off their all day menu. I got their Double Baked eggs, brown soda bread, bacon, sausage and roast tomato. 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. This means you can day drink and not even bat an eye at it being strange. The flavor was delicious and I'll be trying to recreate this at home for sure.

    Visiting Ireland for the first time, I did my best to read up on good places to grab breakfast,…read morebaked goods in Dublin and Brother Hubbard popped up on a few lists, Reddit posts, so I put it on my list to try and I'm glad I did! I walked in on a Wednesday morning, right as they opened at 9am, and was seated immediately. The sit-in part of Brother Hubbard is bright, relaxing, spacious with plenty of tables inside and there's a patio outside with plenty of tables as well. The waitress came over with a menu and gave me plenty of time to look it over. She was very courteous and pleasant, checking in throughout my time there, never hovering. For breakfast, I ordered an Americano, a ginger scone, and their Irish Oat Porridge - Classic. Their porridge is organic oats made with milk and with ordering it as "Classic", it was served with cream and honey. Starting with the ginger scone, this was another case of a perfectly baked scone - Crispy, golden exterior with a moist, buttery interior. The flavor of ginger was perfectly balanced and the raisins inside were a nice supplement to the scone. The porridge was really good, I loved the creaminess of it! Both did a nice job of filling me up and setting me up for the day of walking to come. Funny enough, around 3:30pm, I stopped here again to grab a mid-afternoon treat and ordered the chocolate and hazelnut Babka, their soft bun filled with chocolate and toasted hazelnuts. This pastry was crazy tasty! A slightly crispy exterior with a croissant-like inside chocked full of chocolate and those toasted hazelnuts. This was so rich and truly decadent. Brother Hubbard is a gem of a breakfast and pastry spot! I appreciate the relaxing café environment with friendly staff and high-quality food. I know if I come back to Dublin, I'd come back to grab breakfast, or perhaps another Babka.

Brother Hubbard is a solid spot for breakfast and brunch, serving entrees, lighter fare and offers a pastry assortment that will have you pondering about getting takeout. I visited Brother Hubbard on a Sunday, half an hour after it opened and was able to be seated immediately. However, the brunch rush came afterwards and by the time I left, the entire place was filled. It's popular. And yes, it's the same spot Phil Rosenthal ate at. I even saw the owner who was featured on the show here, helping out with clearing tables and so forth. I ordered the traditional Irish breakfast and an iced chai latte. The food was good and actually, not as heavy as I anticipated. It came with an egg, sausage, bacon, beans and a pudding, which I had to look up. It's ground meat with oats and is molded into a patty. It didn't taste bad, so can see why it's served around these parts of the world. And the meal also came with another item I had to look up, colcannon bread, which was a potato bread with kale. And it was my favorite part of the breakfast! Delicious. If you're looking for a breakfast spot in Dublin, then I'm pretty sure you already know about Brother Hubbard, which is popular, all for good reason. The food was tasty, service was friendly and I loved how bright and welcoming the restaurant was. I was satisfied.
