Delighted to taste the quality Butler's Pantry this morning…read more A heart warming coffee that fulfilled my Butler's expectations. Topped off with a chocolate chip cookie that was just scrumptious, made the prospect of another study period that much more bare-able. Cordial staff, delightful.

It is almost impossible to walk past the Butlers Pantry without being lured in by the buttery,…read moresugary smells wafting out through the front door. The counter is laden with apple pies and muffins, fresh flakey croissants with the gooey almond filling, and giant chocolate chip cookies that are chewy in the middle. The fridges have strawberry, lemon and Baileys cheesecakes, chocolate fudge cakes and cream sponges. The selection is rather small, which means everything is baked fresh every day. They make to order if you want something particular, a giant cake for a special occasion for example. The prices are quite high, but the ingredients and recipes are top quality. Treats like this are worth the splurge.

I've enjoyed my visits to all of the Bear Market locations I've been to so far, but this one had…read moreespecially cute seating I think, in an enclosed little patio in the back with a tall stools and beautiful wooden tables in a vaguely industrial style. The coffee was good and the service friendly, as usual. I think this chain has the best coffee in Dublin!

We happened upon The Natural Bakery while wandering around the Stillorgan Village Centre and while…read morewe were initially just window shopping, those pastries and cookies looked too good to pass up...so inside we went! The space is simple with one side of the store lined with pastry and dessert cases where all the goods are held and served from. The rest of the space is seating and shelving for other packaged products. At the back there is a couple of windows giving you a view into the kitchen where the magic happens. Our visit here was between breakfast and lunch, so we grabbed a pear and apple tart to share. The tart was divine! The tart crust was flaky, yet sturdy while the filling was perfect consistency and featured the right amount of fruit. The cream on the side added a bit of texture and sweetness with each bite. Service was friendly and helpful from entry to exit. The space was well kept and clean. The staff was actively cleaning tables between guests. Overall, solid find in the Stillorgan Village Centre!

Sweet mother of Jeebus, my ever increasing waist-line did not need this discovery…read more But discover I did. It makes me sound like an intrepid explorer, bravely overcoming all the elements and impossible climbs the Stillorgan shopping centre and mother nature can throw at me, but in truth, it is a little less dramatic. OK, a lot less, I parked the car and walked in to baked good heaven, my pictures do not do it justice. There is any amount of fresh breads, a little island in the middle with bakers decorating cakes and such an array of cakes, buns, éclairs and tarts that I could barely bring myself to make a choice. I settled for a cream filled doughnut, it was spectacular, huge and only 2 euro. Q wobbles out of shop, in a penguin like manner shouting "I'll be back!" to anyone who will listen. Children start crying. Q's belt starts crying. .

Was charged € 12.75 for a single breakfast sandwich! Exorbitant price for what I received if you…read moreask me. The sandwich itself was okay, but nothing outstanding just mediocre! What was indeed a slap in the face other than the price itself was the fact that I encountered three large inedible hard pieces of the ligament in the bacon which had to be spit out! What an absolute disgrace, I will make sure to not recommend this place to anyone!

While visiting Ireland, I made it point to hit as many coffee shops as possible and The Coffee Shot…read morewas added to my list on a stay in nearby Stillorgan. The Coffee Shot is a small place with big energy and a healthy variety of options that go beyond coffee, but the coffee was what I was after! One thing I appreciated about this spot was their iced offerings. Most shops I went to in Ireland were too big on iced options on the menu, so when I walked in and saw the board with big letters spelling "iced", I knew I had arrived! I went with an iced caramel latte and it was delicious! Normally caramel can be a bit synthetic tasting, but here, they did it just right. In addition to the coffee, we got a cinnamon roll to share. Perfect combination! Overall, glad we went out of our way to swing by The Coffee Spot!
