In a lovely, but touristy, part of town, I stumbled across Bodega Coffee which is adjacent to an…read moreopen air market. It's a regular coffee shop, not a pop up stand-and it has a few tables to sit and enjoy your drink, although I saw most people take theirs to go. There's a modest case of pastries and other delights in addition to the drinks. Coffee was strong and full bodied-just what we needed after a long red eye flight.

The best thing about Cafe Divino is that at the moment they have a lunchtime offer of a panini and…read moretea/coffee for 5 euro. They also sell those awesome caramel wafers that melt when you hold them over your coffee... mmmmm!!! The food is average, the ambience is average and basically it's an average cafe.

In my quest to find the best coffee in Dublin I went to Cafe Divino. And well, what can I say- I…read moredefinitely won't find it here. The coffee is ok and not more expensive than anywhere else in Dublin but it' not worth going out of your way for it. The cafe is nice enough and nobody was giving me funny looks for taking a wee break and reading a book while having my coffee. Jo sums it up perfectly- Average, but nice. I'll keep looking so.

A welcome relief from the hipster joint around the corner where pouting and hairstyles count more than the actual food or coffee.

Extremely disappointing. Quaint little restaurant but food…read more& service not good. Went in Saturday morning with a reservation only 3 tables were occupied but it took 7 min to be seated. I ordered eggs Florentine but got eggs Benedict instead. English muffin was not toasted, ham too thick & roasted potatoes very sad. Nicest part of the meal was the salad dressing. By the time waiter returned it was too late to reorder. Did not get a second coffee because no waiter came back even though we said we would have another in 5 min. They did not change for my order which was good but a could not care attitude from the owner.

The 1838 Club, located beside the main restaurant in the centre of campus, is a recreational…read morefacility and meeting point for staff and postgraduate students. The canteen here sells food of a much higher quality (and surprisingly, actually cheaper) than the student restaurant next door. The dining area is much more pleasant too, with high ceilings, dark wood floors and tables, and high-backed leather chairs. The water filter offers two different waters to choose from to accompany your meal - plain, or citrus infused. Nice touch. The building also has shower facilities (in case you cycle to college or something), and a recreation room, The "Seed Room", with leather couches where you can sit for a chat or to discuss projects etc.

My first visit to this, ostensibly the swankier, side of DCU dining, was like a visit to a film set…read morethat's a cross between Hogwarts and Dead Poets Society. It's an old-school dining hall bedecked with leather chairs and sturdy wooden benches that are so wide you might need to shout to your eating companion over the din. The food is served outside in the entrance hall, and supposedly it is a higher standard than the rest of the campus and aimed to flush lecturers and staff more than broke students. I thought the food was good but not of a hugely higher standard than what is on offer across the courtyard at the main student restaurant, and there is a much smaller choice. I also found it pretty expensive, like up close to €10 range, so if I was on campus full time I wouldn't be eating here every day. But for an occasional visit it is grand. Maybe get your lecturer to take you ;-)

We decided to stop in here one day based on Yelp! reviews. We were looking for a good burger…read moreplace, but never got to order anything. The place seemed very divey and was definitely a hole-in-the-wall for being in a busy shopping area. We came in right when they opened and sat down. The bartender never acknowledged us and a few minutes later a crabby waitress walked over to us and told us if we want to order we need to go to the bar. We were never greeted or given menus. We opted to leave and went to Bunsen Burger - WOW so glad we did.

A selection of cakes, Danishes, tarts, homemade dressings, take away meals and healthy food options. All made fresh daily in their kitchen in Bray. The pastries and breads are delivered into all of the 12 locations 2-3 times a day!!! Everything in the entire cafe is homemade! What a hidden gem and I don't want to keep it to myself. I was served by Lorraine who was knowledgeable about all of the baked goods that lined the shelves. She was so passionate about these cakes and treat that she had me very excited about them as well. It reminds me of bakeries that we have back at home which totally excited me. I love the fact that everything is made locally as I think it's so great to be able to support your local businesses. They have lovely coffees to go as well. They don't have any tables for you to enjoy your delicatessen in house but it's certainly worth taking away. Treats from The Butler's Pantry is bound to bring a smile to anyone's face. Oh and on Thursday-Sunday they have a selection of croissants, pan au raisins and pan au chocolate, etc. One word...YUM!

There's a really nice manager there in fact all staff are extremely pleasant.
