The €3 takeaway option is a good value for money, small (veg) soup or salad, two small pieces of bread and a small piece of fruit, but it's not very filling. They also have €7 salads that I've purchased several times but they're getting smaller by the day. The takeaway box has shrunk and now the new box isn't even being filled. A bit disappointing to pay so much for a salad and not being able to fill up on it. On a side note, the lemon and raspberry squares are tasty.

They do not have a website listing the hours, and Google and Yelp cannot consistently keep up with their hours as they change on a whim. Currently, the hours listed on their board says Monday-Friday 8:30AM-3:00PM, but it was not open this past Monday when I walked by. They serve breakfast from 8:30AM-10:30AM and lunch 12PM-3:00PM. It's probably best to call first to see if they are open. Hope this helps!

The setting is very chilled, spacious and modern with a few quirky, rustic touches. The coffee is good, but the brunch is even better. While all other places boast french toast on their menus, Urbun goes one step further and has "Pain Perdu" on offer!!! "What exactly is this Pain Perdu you speak of?!" Well my friends, it's only french toast USING-A-CROISSANT-INSTEAD-OF-TOAST!!!!!! And sacre bleu, it is only fabulous. The reason why I wouldn't give this place the full 5star-shebang, is that we finished off our brunch with a cheeky brownie to share (as we had spotted it immediately on arrival and couldn't resist it's seeminingly irressistably-moist exterior) and it was just such a disappointment. How they managed to make something look so delicious and wonderful, but taste so bland is beyond me. That being said though, maybe my taste buds were wiped out after the excitement of the Pain Perdu and just couldn't muster up the energy to appreciate the brownie after that..

Simply superb, one of the best meals I've had in Dublin in a long, long time. Cocktails all round as we were celebrating a birthday. As you do. The highlight, however, had to be the Delmonico steak for 2 which two hungry men shared and devoured with satisfaction. Our companions both opted for the cod which as equally good. The starters were sublime, an explosion of taste, imagination and sumptuousness. Be warned, though, the menu is short with only 4 choices for mains. But they'll get there. Can't wait to go back.

The next day we came in and some of the staff recognized us and thanked us for coming back. That meant the world to us! The food was insanely good. BEST GAZPACHO EVER!

Spent maybe about 20 minutes walking around until I finally spotted it. I've added a picture so maybe it'll be easier for everyone who sees this. They have many different flavors for the bubble waffle but since I'm a chocolate person, I went with the chocolate dream. I would NEVER pay $10 American dollars for ice cream but this one is worth every penny! The waffle was made to order and I got to see him make the waffle and the rest of the cone. And when I say this thing is huge, it's HUGE!!!! Definitely got my $10 worth! Haha!! The taste......20 out of 10!! The waffle was so soft and fresh. The chocolate ice cream.....no words for how good it was. I'm not usually a fan of other flavors but this actually makes me wanna give the other ones a try. I strongly suggest making a stop here and getting a bubble waffle. I promise it'll be the best $10 you'll ever spend!!!!!

But read carefully and you can see two stores in one place: Bubble Waffle Factory (for the sweets and milk tea) and Street Food Factory (for savory options). The street food menu consists of a small but signature menu of beef brisket, beef tripes, and wonton noodle soup. And as a Cantonese, I had to say the quality exceeded my expectations. The beef briskets and beef tripes were braised thoroughly, super tender, rich flavor of spices and seasoning, while the texture of respective parts remained spot-on. The broth base also had great flavor. Portion size was good for the price. For the wontons, they were a bit smaller than the ones I had in another Cantonese place, and they seemed to have small or no shrimp inside, but the intense flavor of minced pork and the bouncy texture suggested the stuffing was of great quality, and the wrap was thin enough to melt in the mouth while also resilient enough to keep the wonton intact. My only wish would be that the noodles would be less runny and bouncier. But overall, I was very satisfied with this place.
