Location: Central to the south-of-the-Liffey downtown, and easy to walk to from the Thomas Moore Inn. Ambience: Fun, funky, hippie, artistic and lively, with a little local health food grocery within the premises, as well as kitchen and cafe. Great people-watching, both within and outside the many large windows. Comfy, homey furnishings and an airy large space. Food: EXCELLENT. Local, sustainable, healthy, creative, and DELICIOUS. We had the Banh mi on fresh baked bread that was to die for -- perfectly spiced, with each bite savory, sweet, crunchy, fresh, rich. The coffee was terrific, too! And there were so, so many astonishing fresh-baked things available... serious temptation for the two diabetics on holiday! Service: Our server really went out of her way to make certain we were comfortable and well taken care of. She was bright, friendly, communicative, and quite helpful to two strangers who'd just arrived in Ireland! Value: Remarkably low price for such high-quality food! Wait time: None. We were seated immediately at a spacious table in a window space filled with morning sun. Other: Great family of people here, creating a community space for locals and a great welcome for visitors. If we'd had longer in Dublin, we would have checked out some of the events the place hosts! read more

Decently priced but the breakfast was just so-so, and the dining area was pretty cramped and way too warm for comfort.

Fantastic little gem of a spot near St. Patricks cathedral. Went for breakfast 3 days in a row. Atmosphere is contemporary and very relaxed. Food is fabulous. Get there early as it fills up quick on weekends. read more

The Fumbally - Tuscan beans on toast and ricotta toast special - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

Local, fresh, FULL of flavor, friendly staff, cool vibe....YES! I can't wait to come back here to eat everything. Luckily I can because it's one block from where I'm staying. You MUST come here when in Dublin. Forget the tourist trap restaurants downtown, this is it. My partner had the special sandwich of the day, steak, and it was fresh and hearty. Not a heavy steak sandwich. I had the lentils of the day, which were Mexican and it was so full of flavor. Going to grab a pastry to go now and plan my next visit here! read more

Super cool spot! I couldn't believe how good the premade sandwiches were! We got 1 meat and 1 veggie! The veggie was falafel and it was amazing, but the meat sandwich was unbelievable! It was kinda Christmasy themed with what seemed like turkey, stuffing and cranberry on sourdough! So yummmyyy!! It seemed like It's self serve for some foods but the others you can order? Not 100% sure but they were super nice in there! read more

A lovely place with a great concept. Local produce and products sold in the shop and a small but varying menu in the cafe. We went here for a late lunch and I am afraid was quite disappointed. They had run out of most things when we arrived. How a cafe runs out of half the fishes in a 5-6 fish menu is beyond me, in any case, I chose one of the dishes they did have. It arrived luke warm and lacked any flavor. A chili lentil dish that was neither hot or spicy and lacked seasoning. I wanted a piece of carrot cake and by the time I got around to ordering they had run out of that too. The flourless chocolate cake was nice and I liked the taste but too dense for my liking. Coffee was way to sour for my liking and I left half of it behind. Maybe it was an off day but this place is not cheap and I expected more. The shop itself is lovely and they have some nice things but overpriced in my opinion. Staff were nice and friendly and the ambience made up for some of the disappointment. Will give it another go and see. read more

The vibe of this place is unmatched. Stopped in with grand plans to get an arancini plate and a glass of wine to kill time until dinner - I ended up not loving the arancini special of the day - but think that I was happier with my pivot than I would have been with arancini. I ended up getting the sourdough toast w ricotta and honey - in my mind this was going to be one lame slice of [probably still pretty good] sourdough with toppings. NOPE. You get two giant slices of bomb sourdough and then a full vat of whipped ricotta with honey. Exceeded expectations. Wine was just ok (by the glass options limited, red was sweeter/lighter than I would have liked) but man that toast! read more

Stopped in on a Friday morning- My only regret is that I didn't find this sooner while on holiday! It's a great space to have a meal and catch up on some work. I ordered the vegan toast and a side of eggs. This is not meant to be hyperbole: one of the best breakfasts I've had in a quite a long time. I almost ordered a second serving, but I didn't want to be a weirdo Patrons are advised that tables should be shared- Make a new friend! read more

Delicious fresh vegetables and baked goods, great items to go and a wonderful, creative space to relax. friendly staff and excellent service

Lovedddd this place. Wanted to return but trying to experience a spread of restaurants while on holiday. Awesome atmosphere, cool art, and great food. I loved by beans and eggs dish -- tons of flavor and a generous portion, tasty sourdough bread underneath. Partner enjoyed a more simple egg and toast dish with tomatoes. We split the hot smoked ham which was delicious. A fantastic find we happened to stumble upon whole heading into Dublin city center. It was quite busy, a sign of a good spot. Stop by here if you're in the neighborhood -- you won't regret it! read more

Delightfully delicious. Eaten here twice and both times were deeply satisfying. Also, they sell pain au chocolat that is a work of art.

Filter coffee! Delicious breakfasts, lots of vegetarian & vegan options, family friendly

I'm curious as to what inspired this premier and unique looking coffee shop! Upon entering this place, you wouldn't think they serve food or drinks. The decor all over the place make it seem like you're at an art exhibit combined with a local farmer's market and your own living room. Nothing matches, but everything about it looks comforting. As for their coffee, I ordered an expresso by accident, but the guy working there was cool enough to convert it into a cappuccino. And supposedly, they use a double shot in every coffee cup so you can really smell the flavor and savor the taste. I really enjoyed my cappuccino! That's another great thing about this place. You can see them create your coffee. It's like art! The kitchen area is also open, so you can see them prepare your sandwiches or plate. They even offer fresh fruits and delicious looking pastries for your coffee. You gotta check out my pics! Give Starbucks a rest and give these guys a try! read more

My favorite place I visited in Dublin. I went around breakfast time and ordered The Fumbally eggs. De-lish!!! I've never thought to do bruschetta on a breakfast sandwich but it is genius. The atmosphere is so calming and relaxing. I wasted to stay here all day. If I lived in Dublin, I would definitely spend a lot of time here. If you get a chance, give The Fumbally a visit. You will not be disappointed! read more

I'm a huge a fan of this hipster cafe. I thought it would be super pretentious, but the staff was really friendly and it has a cool vibe. It was quite busy mid-morning on a Friday. I had a cappuccino, toast, and a blackberry financier. Everything was delicious. Toast sounds boring, but the bread was amazing, and I loved the marmalade. The blackberry pastry complemented the cappuccino perfectly. If you are looking for breakfast and great coffee, you'll be happy you tried The Fumbally. read more

As everyone knows I'm a HUGE foodie and my philosophy of finding good places to eat also applies when I travel. Sure I can have what's considered the traditional dishes of the region, but this and finding places where the locals *truly* eat can be at very different places. The Fumbally, with its communal tables, daily specials that span the globe in terms of dishes and its use of local and/or organic ingredients in its dishes screams out "hipster" and this sort of dining may not appeal to everyone (The No1DP would outright refuse to eat with me if asked). However I appreciate this approach to food and in this type of dining environment the people you'll find eating here are also people who have the same mindset aka the local foodies. The locals surely won't be eating their Irish breakfast or fish and chips every day, and despite Rick Steves' travel philosophy, you sure won't find this restaurant in any of his guidebooks. However I think I was the only non-local in this restaurant and a communal space is a great way to get people to talk. The even more hipster thing I did was to eat here during their weekly Wednesday dinner, which features a set menu based on a theme. For my week it was "Irish Summer", which boasted the seasonal vegetables from organic suppliers. Everyone orders from the same menu - only options are which courses to eat. I did a drink + main + dessert (and additional wine) for €34, a reasonable price (per locals) for a high-quality 2-course menu with drinks. This may be pricey for a night out for American tourist standards, but I got quite the experience that compete with any craic I can find at one of the Temple Bar pubs. DRINK: Sherry fino, Elmhurst apple + ginger bug (€7). I couldn't taste much of the sherry but I can taste the ginger and the faint taste of apple. It's a well-mixed cocktail that I can see being sipped by the poolside. The amuse bouche had a chili jam which perked up the appetite. MAIN: St Tola goats cheese, McNallys organic kale + Dunany spelt berry risotto with roasted McNallys summer squash with Fumbally cured Tamword lardo toast (€15). This isn't your typical risotto. It is a little chewier and the texture is similar to lentils. Turns out that it has a higher protein/fiber content than rice so I actually felt more full than just eating a veggie risotto with rice. The goat cheese worked here to make it more creamy, as did the squash. Kale added some crunchy topping. I chose the lardo over bruschetta as lard in this form is hardly served in the US. It's like a cold version of bacon and replacing the meat with the fat. Texture was a little meaty and it was hard to bite into it to fully separate the meat. Would work better being spreadable like leverpostej. DESSERT: chocolate mouse, earl grey crumb + organic Wicklow blueberries (€6). I am not a mousse person and this was some damn good mousse as it was more airy and less pudding-like. The bread crumb and blueberries certainly helped. I had a great time here eating great food with 2 couples, one younger and one older. They were very friendly Dubliners who were impressed that I could find a place like this. The way I found this is to use a combination of scouring through the blogs as well as a respectable local restaurant rating guide - in the case of Ireland, the McKennas' guides. If you can't afford or don't want to do Michelin-starred dining this is your next bet for good food in a region as there is no longer a Europe equivalent of Yelp. After eating here not only do I recommend eating here as a solid option, it's also a good opportunity to experience Dublin through the eyes of local foodies. read more

Unwelcoming place with very nice food. The staff made me feel like I'd walked into their home uninvited, but the food was really good.

The food and the gorgeous setting both deserve 5 stars. The service though was Just odd. Nice servers, but an orange juice I ordered -- with our coffees (which can in 5 minutes) -- never came, even though I asked 3 different servers about it. And I got a cup of filter coffee, but no cream or milk. After I asked twice I finally got up and went in search of it myself. I would go back for the food and ambiance, but only with an expectation that it will take me an hour and a half to get stuff (or not!) that should take 45 minutes. Ah well... read more

Can I give this place like 10 stars??? Man oh man everything about this place was great. The ambiance has character, with some knicknaks placed all around, nicely organized seating with plenty of space. The food... omg the food was delightful ORDER THE - green eggs and ham - fumbally eggs Our meals all tasted very very very fresh with a blast of flavor with each bite... currently drooling just thinking about it. The kitchen is pretty open too so you can see them make your delightful meals. Coffee? They use a local roaster and that cappuccino was top notch. Service? I've never felt so welcomed in a place before' ! Thank you Fumbally I'll be back when I'm back in Dublin! read more

The avocado toast is delicious! Everything looks fresh and tasty, although a simple menu.

Supercool, open-spaced, high-ceiling communal table and comfy chair in private alcove-style combo über-luminance transparent on-view cooking venue, it's all things to all comers, just the right-side of not being annoyed by the "in" crowd. Fare: Fresh, organic food, killer breakfast wraps, eggs, and lunch salads, great coffee and a range of calories and sweets to salve that sugar rush. Decor: Created with studied random abandon that's a right-down, weirdy beardy, bike-riding hipster attractor. Just what is needed in the Liberties, this joint is going to be very popular with the fashionable set, nearby office crowd, tourists, and locals, alike. In better times they'd search you at the door for an Apple Mac Book Air, and give you one it you were without, just so you fit in better. Now, BYOD and use the free wi-fi. Attire: Tuxedo top, jeans, Shoes with no socks. Think Monocle magazine and Tyler Brûlé. Unfortunately, there is a an element of attitude that doesn't suit everyone. Staff attitude: Barrista attitude was way "too cool for school" for my liking. I wondered what I had said to offend him. YMMV. Opens 8 AM -5 PM weekdays (generally). Comedy mornings and other events are held there too, and there can be special evening events and dinners, so watch out for noticies. This has to be balanced by the fact the place is closed when you least expect it, such as Patrick's weekend or other bank holidays. It seems unfair to the local community, tourists, and others who venture into the area at these times, who really deserve a better deal. read more

I have been wanting to come here for so long, and what can I say, except that it was worth the wait! This place is known as a hipster haven, so in case you think that doesn't appeal to you, can I add "in the best sense of the word." Charming decor, shared tables (whatever happened to a sense of community, amiright?), fresh food, friendly service and a great assortment of options for every palate, including for those with intolerances, allergies, a matter of personal conscience or what not. What's not to love? I opted for a chai latte, this was the good stuff, spiced to perfection and overall "just right". For food, I went with the toast with scrambled eggs, mixed with cheese and garlic, but just subtle enough not to be overbearing. My friend opted for a salad meal with an addition of falafel balls. The falafels were a highlight, rivalling even the middle Eastern restaurants about town. The accompanying hummus did not disappoint either, it was top notch stuff. We topped it off with a slice of gluten free chocolate cake which was also quite heavenly. This place doesn't need much more than to tell you how good the food is. Let it be known though that the ambience doesn't disappoint. This place is worth all the hype and then some. read more

What can be said that hasn't been said before?! This place is just the dog's b*#&#$&cks. Big, airy space, comfy seating, options to sit on your own or at communal tables, nice art on the walls, posters of community goings on, and general stuff to look at, as well as prime people watching. Then there's the food. It's really, really good. It's healthy, home made, colourful and good. My favourite thing is actually the simplest - avocado on rustic toast with fresh chilli, tomato & olive oil. So tasty. Really, really tasty. They have wifi too so it's a nice place to work from. Gold stars! read more

I like this cafe and its mix of eclectic furniture and books dotted around the place. The coffee is pretty good, you can choose from a variety of beans and there have yummy treats such as brownies and cakes. Something else that I like is that they bring your coffee to the table so once you have ordered it you can go sit down and relax. read more

I love the Fumbally so much. I went to the Fumbally every single day during my visit in January. Everyone at the Fumbally was so so nice, and lovely Ger always brought over my lattes which were so very good. I kept count of how many I had during the trip. A thousand, that's how many. On the last day, I sat down with one of the owners, Luca, for a quick chat about the Fumbally and life. You can read the interview on my blog (Valentina Duracinsky blog). It was amazing to hear the story behind the Fumbally and Luca's words made me fall in love with the place even more. There is so much love and hard work that go into that place! The food is fantastic. Pulled porchetta sandwich, avocado toast, both delicious. The desserts are to die for. I love the lemon poppy seed polenta cake. I highly recommend it. read more

My second time coming to The Fumbally after hearing about it from a Japanese friend, I'm not disappointed! Came on a saturday both times and the place is jam packed with not a seat to spare, so most likely you will have to share a table. But the atmosphere is buzzing and the cafe itself is really bright, with wooden tables and rustic style decor. It's got kind of a hippy feel to it. The only thing that annoyed me was trying to find a seat at all, so had to wait a while until someone left. The food is mostly healthy stuff; their salad plates are vegetarian (similar to what you would find in other vegetarian restaurants such as Cornucopia), but they also do meat like pulled pork, steak etc. The soups are really nice and the servings are pretty generous too. I like their daily salads which cost 9 euro for a plate, and you add falafel for 1.50 euro, or a soup for 2.50. I haven't tried it, but I saw Korean kimchi and Korean stir-fry on the special boards which sound pretty interesting (and really spicy). Overall, the staff are quite friendly, the service is fast, the food is good and prices range from about 8-15 euro for main. A great place for brunch/ lunch! My one star deduction is for being super crowded and noisy, but you can get a takeout. read more

Just writing this review is giving me powerful cravings for the Fumbally eggs! My friends and I have come here on a few weekends and have always ordered exactly the same thing- those magical eggs. Scrambled, on toast with tomato and cheese. Incredibly simple, but incredibly satisfying. We would always make sure to eat slowly to make them last. The space itself is very charming- high ceilings and adorable decorations. I always make sure to take a look at the many ads and fliers for various events going on around Dublin. However, the focus is on the eggs. One question- why aren't they open on Sunday, A.K.A. brunch day??? read more

My best friend and I visited the Fumbally at the recommendation of our Air Bnb host while visiting Dublin and he surely did not steer us wrong. After eating heavy (albeit delicious) foods throughout our entire vacation, the Fumbally was like finding water in a desert! It featured so many healthier, fresh options that still satisfied our cravings and didn't make us feel like we were eating bird seed, like so many other healthier food options do nowadays. Even though I am now back in the states, whenever someone mentions that they're planning a trip to Dublin, I tell them that they absolutely have to stop in at the Fumbally. I know I will next time I have the pleasure of visiting. read more

The Fumbally is incredible. They have a huge high ceiling airy space that is a really well decorated. The kitchen is open to view the staff was super friendly. There is plenty of seating for either a quick or a longer more relaxed stay. I only had the privilege of visiting once but I was absolutely blown away by the eggs they serve. They come with this incredibly rich cheese and garlic mixed in and some extremely rare non-plastic tomatoes to top it. Anyone who visits Dublin and doesn't stop here for breakfast at least once has made a grave mistake. read more

An oasis. The space is thoughtful crafted, upscale vintage, with a political theme. The staff members are friendly, helpful and clearly enjoy their jobs.
