So pretty sure I had coffee at Hipster Central.. Visited The Fumbally located on Fumbally Lane (funnily enough) Dublin 8. You can check their food menu online but was only really interested in a quick coffee and pastry. Really good choice, their rasbperry cheesecake looked so good! I found it hard to choose but ended up choosing a pear popover (Another US import) and fiancé chose a really healthy flapjack... They give you a wooden block with a letter on it (like a toy you had as a child? and deliver your coffee to the table when it's ready. Yes that is a lost balloon in one of the photos :( You can also buy coffee here. Today wechose 3FE Ethiopia Kebel Kercha Guji. High ceilings, a complete mismatch of seats and the plates wouldn't look out of place in my nanna's cupboard. The cups on the otherhand are a total modern grey and tie in far better with the building. So yes it is full of hipsters but families were there too. They've a great contrast of old and new and that makes me think we'll be making the trip back there again. If for nothing else than to pick up more coffee beans to bring home! read more

I will not lie, I loved this place. I felt like if I was transported in one of those places I love in Berlin during my whole lunch and that was great. I love the ambiance of the place and for once, a cafe I like in Dublin is not tiny, even tho it was pretty crowded we found some place. The food we had was good, mine was delicious, and the all irish my boyfriend had was pretty good too, even if it was actually pretty small and he was still hungry after eating it, which I totally understand because yes, it was tiny. So here is the reason why I removed one star, I don't mind paying a little bit more to be in a nice place I like, but at least, I'd like to have my belly full while leaving the place. What I'm trying to say is that in my opinion, this place is a bit too expensive for what it serves. The food is really good and definitely fresh, but three more carrots wouldn't have been bad for the price we payed. read more

Just the best. A warm inviting place to take your time about your coffee, ultra fresh food or good conversation. Be warned these people care about there coffee! For me this is a huge plus but if your in the mood for a grab and go Starbucks... That said there isn't much alternative with in walking distance, so be nice. The carefully crafted atmosphere and menu are absolutely a cut above. I love what I ordered and I plan on working my way through the menu. read more

At least once per weekend, I must absolutely spend more time than usual sitting, relaxing and enjoying a good meal... it is a luxury appreciated by both body and mind. At the Fumbally, even in its busiest hours, there is a table I can share or a nook I can fit in, cradling a coffee. The food is fresh, fulfilling and wholesome. I am always amazed by the quantity of perfectly ripe avocado the cook can put on my plate. The price is relevant, the queuing expected, the plates vibrant and satisfying. It is hipstery, in a sense that you are expected to be patient, smiling and that you don't mind sharing your space. It has that communal-breakfast-at-your-auntie's vibe even, in a good way. Do expect a crowded but cosy ambiance. read more

Loved the open space, ample seating, and interesting things to stare at. This place reminded me a lot of ruin pubs in Budapest (of course much less chaos though)...or flea markets in Berlin. I ordered the eggs with sausage on toast - oh man. It was perfectly cooked eggs, and perfectly seasoned everything. Definitely recommend!! ...and of course...good coffee :) that makes this place five stars. read more

Really nice hipstery cafe. Great ambiance and cool vibe. I had lunch and and coffee ( with sunflower seed milk) and all was good. I feel i would come again for the cool/weird artistic anterior. it feels like the right place to relax over a cup of tea or a good meal on your own. The only drawback, staff are not very cool when it comes to changing or removing stuff from your order. My friend wanted a falafel wrap but she wanted it simple just the falafel and humus but they seemed annoyed that she doesnt want it filled with vegetables and whatever they stuff it with, and i was told they don't usually change things in their menu but they will do it for us only this time ;/ even though we didnt ask to change or add anything other than remove the things that my friend cant eat. Other than that lt was all good. read more

Fabally would be a better name I went to get some whole bean coffeee as I happened to be in the area. We decided to have a coffee along with the best flapjack I ever had and a popover that was not shared so I can only surmise that it was too good to share which given the lack of conversation during said consumption would back up this hypothesis. The coffee was brewed perfectly and the temp just right to enjoy the taste and aroma. Bright space and comfy chairs. No complaints and at 10am this place was getting busy. read more

The ultimate "hipster" cafe with a farm to table feel and open space concept where you can see the chefs cooking your food from your table. Excellent unique combination of flavors and incredibly fresh food. An absolutely delicious breakfast: the Fumbally toast and avocado toast. Fumbally had toasted sourdough bread with scrambled eggs, garlic, white cheddar and a tomato basil salad tossed in dressing on top. The toast was not soggy and perfectly toasted. The avocado toast had beets, peppers and seeds on top the toasted bread. It was delicious!! I had a white iced coffee-- which has milk, slight amount of fig syrup and cold brew. Oh my god. So good!! There were many pastries on display for purchase. There is alcohol available for purchase as well!! Definitely recommend this to anyone in Dublin. read more

When we showed up at 2pm on a Thursday, they proudly exclaimed they were closed and locked the door.

Searched for homemade almond milk in Dublin to have a mocha on my one day to visit... Didn't expect such a trendy and packed place. Too bad I wasn't hungry as the food looks delicious (huge portions!). I did have a gluten free chocolate cake with fresh cream (super yummy) and a mocha. Sadly, they no longer have almond milk but rather homemade sunflower milk. I was happy to try it however it left me with a sunflower seed aftertaste which I'm not enjoying so much. I wouldn't get it again. Overall, I'd come back though my husband wasn't thrilled with it. read more

Super fancy place to have lunch or a nice afternoon coffee with cake. I really like the atmosphere and the stuff is super nice. #hipster The food is very healthy and super yummy as well. I can recommend the salat. read more

The Fumbally - Salat with orange juice. Yummy ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

I hit up Fumbally for a bit brekkie with a friend of mine recently. We get into this joint and its a mad oul kip altogether. Today in Dublin there is a serious emphasis on the fact that we now eat with our eyes and let me tell you this place didn't disappoint. Its got that odd chairs at a table is cool kind of look if you get me. In the corner there's a bird cage but instead of a bird in the cage there's an egg (there not well in this place). Its a real "hip & current" kind of place if you know what I mean. There's handlebars everywhere, from bikes being locked up outside to the outrageous facial hair on the blokes flaked out milling a coffee. But, listen thats whats in at the minute and I thought it was brilliant!. The grub was top drawer, brekkie and lunch are served in this place. Eggs are the focal point of all the dishes in the morning and I ordered meself a nice "eggs and ham" and a cappuccino. The eggs superb, scrambled, but done with what my friend described as love and care. They lightly beat the eggs so there was a bit of colour in them. There was no mad beating the life out of the eggs like the chef had a go go gadget whisk for an arm. The ham was proper order, thick cut and then it was served with ripe tomatoes on Brioche bread. Honestly it was the business. All in all this place is a must if your in this part of town! Its a bit before the centre so unless your visiting Patricks Cathedral you'll have to make the effort to come out read more

My favorite place to have breakfast in Dublin! All the food tastes so fresh and well prepared, seems like they really take great care in sourcing all of there ingredients. The staff is super friendly and welcoming especially if you are a confused American like myself. Honestly just a solid spot I wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood back home! Get the Fumbally eggs with there delicious hot sauce, and the tomatoes that come on it so fresh and seasoned so well just amazing. Fuck I will miss this place when I return home! read more

The Fumbally - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

How cool is this place!!! First of all I love the big, spacious, random furniture everywhere type of feel! I found a nice leather sofa and plonked meself there till the food arrived. The menu, while small, all sounded so good it took me a minute to decide. I went for the fumbally scrambled eggs with tomatoe, garlic, cheese and some thyme. Was seasoned so good and all came on top of a brioche bun. All the ingredients where so fresh and tasty.. Love how they use organic and fresh produce and you can see them making the food in the tiny kitchen beside the till. I had some weird drink that was black tea with some type of exotic fruit I can't pronounce or remember.. But it tasted like home made cider I didn't like it. The fresh juices will be my choice next time. Also can't wait to try there porridge with coconut and berries. Lunch menu starts after 12pm, again a small selection but all sound yum! And I noticed on the door that they're starting dinner from January 13th! 7.30pm-9pm. Can't wait to see what they will come up with I will be back! Staff are friendly too! A+++ 5 stars Bravo!!! read more

The Fumbally - Fumbally eggs with brioche and tomatoe.. €5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

See all

I love the healthy ethos of this cafe, as shown by their fresh produce corner and organic/free-range promises on the menu. The Don Quixote quote on the wall, a huge 'All sorrows are less with bread', is poignant, provoking customers to think how lucky one is.... My coffee and egg dish came to €9.50 which wasn't too bad. I had an Americano, which is apparently coffee from 3fe which I've already been to, was good and strong as expected. I also got the Fumbally eggs with avocado added. EVERY part of this dish was scrumptious: the tomatoes tasted so fresh, eggs had a lovely garlic touch which tickled my garlic-loving tastebuds, the Grubeen cheese in the eggs made it that much more delicious and savoury, and the brioche bread complemented it well. A whole avocado on top with pepper confirmed my choice as a golden one that I am sure I will repeat. I am definitely going to return here, the staff are very friendly and efficient. read more

The Fumbally was my favorite place to go to when I studied abroad in Dublin. It was walking distance from my house so I loved to go for brunch but also to do school work since they had free wifi and plenty of seating. I came here my first weekend in Dublin with my dad since he was helping me move in. The Fumbally was recommended to us by our Airbnb host. From my first step inside, I loved the atmosphere and decor. The kitchen space is open concept so you can see the cooks prepare the food, cut the veggies, and there is also fresh produce all around the warehouse-like room. I love that the tables really range in sizes so you can either keep it intimate or share a table with strangers. It's a great conversation starter! The food itself was also very good, always fresh, and they had a great selection of vegetarian dishes. My favorite was the scrambled eggs on toast with avocado on top. Their coffee was also always on point. My favorite area is this couch next to a wall with a ton of frames and pictures: it's super cozy and feels homey. Next time I come back to Dublin, this will be my first stop and I can't wait to show this gem to whoever I am traveling with! read more

"Prepare yourself" said Adrian, "you are about to enter the land of the Hipster ". It sounded like Adrian was writing cheques no experience could cash but nope, he was spot on. For any ex-trinity students from the 90s out there this place is a must, it is the old JCR (Junior Common Room) on steroids. It is packed with people with interesting facial hair (mostly guys), doing interesting things with iMacs and sketch books and talking about vegetarian things. It is, without question, Hipster HQ We just had a coffee... well, when I say just - it was a bloody good coffee and strong. I didn't realise just how strong till we left wobbling like we had just had a large scotch.... I say wobbling but we were doing do really fast, like only men who had just had a massive caffeine shot would do. Adrian tells me the food is excellent and that it is a brilliant place for a family Sunday morning brunch. I shall be putting that to the test as soon as humanly possible. read more

This was the cutest and sweetest cafe to start the day. My husband and I are vacationing and looked up this cafe near our Airbnb. I had the toast with a side of scrambled eggs and my husband had The Fumbally eggs. Food was sooo good, portioned well and beyond expectation. The eggs were lightly scrambled with cheeses and garlic and the toast was on homemade bread with options for fresh jam, but butter and butter. Will absolutely be coming back before the end of our trip!! read more

The Fumbally just never disappoints, the perfect little burrow to hide from the rain and enjoy consistently brilliant and inventive creations. My return dishes are the falafel, any soup or salad plate, the pulled pork bap and their flapjacks are the best I've ever had!! The food is always so fresh and in season. The atmosphere can be quite hipsterish but not at all pretentious or unwelcoming in my opinion. Easily one of my favourite places to eat in Dublin!! read more

The Fumbally is a trendy place for people who want to be seen. Food is pan/deep fried mainly accompanied by plain tasting salads. I've eaten here twice and was disappointed. In particular I found the staff annoying. In my opinion they spend too much time flicking their hair, stroking their beards and dancing around. The place acts like it invented brunch. There are a thousand cafes in Dublin that do brunch, most better and without the attitude... For posers only. EDIT. I also agree with other reviews the coffee is bad. Bitter, greasy and cold. read more

I am seriously addicted to #avocado - the #fumbally cafe offers this amazing green eggs and bacon which is basically scrambled egg, avocado and chorizo - I love chorizo and these flavours go so well together. Never had and never imagined, a fan now! Cool place, very very hipster! But hey - that's Dublin how you would imagine. read more

I'm very very disappointment with this place. I heard many positive opinions so I decided to try it out. Not only the place itself look like a hangar or storage, the staff is very rude. I set down and my friend went to order. I've been told that I cannot sit before I order. I wouldn't mind to wait for the sit but I mind the servant tone. Rude. I can stand bad food but not a bad staff. read more

Carrot Apple Ginger juice is gorgeous! It's sad that is not open at night, Dublin miss really this kind of cafe after 6pm read more

I have been to Fumbally Cafe a few times and their food is yummy and good value. The atmosphere is always pumping and vibey. For me the 2 things that let it down are: 1) The COFFEE (sorry hipsters I cant stand HASBEAN coffee!!!!) I find it bitter and acidic and tastes burnt. (also they don't have low fat milk- which in these days of high cholesterol and more health conscious people I think that it is crazy not to at least have low fat milk) Maybe they are masking the horrid taste of their cappuccinos with full fat??? ;) 2) There is no proper queuing system. So if you go on a Saturday you have to stalk people while they finish off their food so you can pounce for a table as they leave (in case someone else just walks in and snakes you) So for me I can't function without my morning cuppa so the Fumbally is just not an option for me :( I will rate it a 3 because staff are friendly and their food / baked goods are delish. read more

Holy smokes. This place was recommended to us by the fellow we are staying with, and it was quite a treat. It's definitely a hipster joint. The food was amazing and all sorts of different flavors and things to try on the menu that you never would have thought to combine on your own. I had a carrot and nuts veggie burger, while my husband had a pork sandwich. Both were equally amazing. The place is packed and stocked with eclectic groupings of tables. They also have free tap water to grab, which is a huge bonus and difficult to find in Europe. Stop and see the Teeling Whiskey distillery tour, and then grab lunch--you won't regret it. read more

Sooo many reasons to be liking this place. Friendly staff. AMAZING food. Pretty good coffee. Chilled out atmosphere. I am temping next to this place at the moment and have been going in for my flat white most mornings and have my lunch there a couple times a week. The food has a lot of veggie foods which I love but does cater for meat fans too. They change the specials every day and have a standard menu also which includes and all day breakfast option. Although don't expect to be finding a Full Irish or Eggs Benedict on this menu. So the things I have had and liked.... Falafel wrap. A fiver. Huge. Really tasty. Fresh beetroot and cabbage salads going into this fully homemade handheld middle eastern nomfest. Eggs and ham. €6.50. A little overpriced for 1 slice of bread with smallish portion of eggs and ham. But tasty nonetheless and really good chunks of ham. Pulled pork sambo. Really good bread. Really good pork. Really good sambo. Soup. A fiver. Comes with some of their amazing bread. I had some sort of butternut squash soup and it was amaze. Very filling. You can really taste the freshness. Their coffee is better than most places in Dublin but I have tasted better. But to be honest it is still within that top 5 coffee places that I have tried. One thing that annoys me though is that they use organic milk and apparently low fat organic milk does not exist. I prefer a low fat milk but all the good coffee places suffer from the same problem and so does my waistline. I do find some of the dishes are a tad overpriced for their size whilst on the otherhand other dishes are very well priced for what you get in terms of size and most importantly quality and freshness. If you are anywhere near here I highly recommend giving it a shot. It gets very busy between 1 and 2pm midweek but they encourage you to share tables so don't let that put you off. read more

The worst place around for coffee. Interior was very promising. Extremely cute and upscale. It took over 15 minutes to get us six coffees. They were bitter and horrible. All the choices in town this will not be on my list. read more

So I feel this place gets somewhat of a bad rep from it's hipster attributes. Forget the myriad of fixies mounted on the gate outside - this place is popular because it hits the nail on the head. The space is like a cool Berlin or Melbourne loft. The food is fresh, inventive, and absolutely delicious. They run a great series of events and the odd dinner of a Wednesday. I could recommend dishes but it would be pretty much the menu. Come here for brunch, on a date, with your girls, heck with your dog (they're cool with that). Just come in. Only issue for me is they are closed on Sunday - which is optimum brunch day... I will forgive them that. read more

I've heard so many things about this place. Only good of course, so when I was way too early for an appointment in the neighbourhood, I thought I would stop in for a cup of coffee at the very least!

When we walked up to the Fumbally at about a quarter past ten on a Saturday morning, a mere fifteen minutes after opening, the place was already buzzing with activity although there were still plenty of seats left for newcomers. The crowd was varied, from your usual would-be Portlandia cast members to familiies complete with children and dogs. The food was hands-down incredible. The eggs were cooked perfectly, with no hint of overcooking or weird dairy to ruin their simplicity. The ham was smokey and tender, and the vegetables and herbs were perfectly ripe and definitely fresh. The coffee was only to be rivaled by 3fe, and I really cannot make up my mind between the two - high praise in a city where 3fe has reigned supreme for so long, now. On top of that, the cafe is a beautiful environment, and the music began at the perfect level, although it had gotten a bit too loud by the time we left. The staff were perfectly efficient, if not dying of effusive friendliness. It's also a gorgeous, relaxed walk from the city centre, especially if you cut through George's Street and go through the park at St. Patrick's. read more

I was meeting a few girlfriends for lunch the other day, and one of them had suggested this place, saying how good it was. I had never heard of it, and am often not over in this part of town, but thought this will be good way to try something new! When I fist walked in, it was about noon, and already this place was buzzing. The inside looked very informal, almost like I was actually in someone's kitchen/dining room. I walked towards the till to order my food, and they had a chalk board listening vegetable sandwhich, meat sandwhich, salad, and an entree special. They also had a small menu from which you could order as well. I decided to go with the meat sandwhich, which that day consisted of marinated steak with rocket and mixed greens, and carmelized onion with some sort of mayonnaise sauce (unfortunately, I already forgot what kind of sauce was on it, but it was so good!). The sandwich was amazing, and just filling enough. Satisfied, but not too full. I had been worried about the fact that it did not come with a side, but to be honest I didn't need one. Another girl at our table ordered the fallafel, and I almost had food envy it looked so good. Another thing I like about this place (being a dog owner), is that the restaurant is COMPLETELY dog friendly. You're allowed to bring your dog inside the restaurant so long as your dog is well behaved. This place, as other people stated, is definitely hipster central. I wouldn't consider myself hipster, and even so, not once did I feel out of place there. Everyone was so friendly and nice, and the food was quite good. Can't wait to come back here with the pup after the park, even if it's only for a cup of coffee. read more

So this review is a month late but here goes... I met a few friends for lunch at Fumbally and upon walking inside I was immediately in love with the quirky atmosphere. Mismatched decorations, some people studying/working and others just catching up with people for a meal. I was a bit worried about finding a table but we went ahead and ordered our food and hoped for the best. Luckily a table opened up within 5 minutes so we were able to catch up while we waited on the food. After a brief wait we received our orders: I had the special sandwich of the day, a friend had the falafel and my other friend ordered some vegetarian dish. My sandwich wasn't out of this world (think Green Bench/147 Deli) but it had interesting flavours and was pretty cheap. The rest of the group enjoyed their dishes as well so I think we would all come back at some point. Food aside, I would absolutely recommend this place for grabbing coffee given the atmosphere. read more

I love the atmosphere at the Fumbally, that said I've only ever been in in the mornings and the late afternoons when it wasn't so busy. The decor is hip, arty and boho without being too pretentious. The owners also run the cafe in the Newmarket Food Coop (I believe that's where it all started) and so there are definite influences and crossover in the communal style tables, couches, and also with the suppliers of the food used at the Fumbally. There's lots of seating and the food is great, seasonal and fresh, made with skill care and most of all, love. There's an obvious passion for good food here and that's what sets it apart. It's one of my favourite spots to chill out in Dublin 8 with a book if I have a morning off during the week. Great eggs, salads and amazing coffee, I just wish I still lived nearby! read more

One of my favorite places in Dublin! Great breakfast, lovely falafel, tasty lunch specials and delicious coffee. Relaxed atmosphere to sit and have a chat with friend or even to bring the laptop and work. It is located in Dublin 8 just a few meters to St. Patrick's Cathedral. Staff is absolutely friendly and always happy to have a chat! Tip during the week: Try wednesday mornings and listen to piano sounds! read more

This is a nice little cafe near St. Patrick's cathedral, nice and out of the way from everything else. I went in on a Saturday on a lunch-date. The place was packed, but we managed to nick a proper table (unsurprisingly, a coffee table with some cushions wasn't in use) Around halfway through, 2 Germans asked if they could share our table with us. A bit perplexed, I looked around to notice a pile of lurkers waiting on people to vacate seats. So yeah, Saturday lunchtime may not be the best time to visit this place! The place itself is lovely and full of character. It's a converted office building, and they've gutted the roof to show the air conditioning vents, very modern chic. The coffee itself is fine, (not bad not great) but the food is delicious. She got green eggs and Ham, in homage to Dr Seuss, this was a dish of avocado eggs and ham, but there was a bit too much avocado for my liking. I got an excellent rosti, which was fried potatoes with onion egg and some ham. Delish. read more

Consistently one of the tastiest places to dine in Dublin. Breakfast? Delicious. Salads? Delicious. Vegetarian sandwich special? Delicious but very difficult to eat gracefully. Get extra napkins. Flourless chocolate cake? (quiver) Downsides are that at lunch time, the place is more crowded than a subway car in Beijing at rush hour. Some of the staff members act like they are being forced to work there against their will. Others are pleasant but no one is overly friendly. The clientele can be irritatingly hip in that 'I'm hip and I want you all to know it' way. But I keep coming back. Because the food is F-ing delicious. Good food done well. That's it. Win. read more
