AMAZING food and super friendly, attentive and hard working staff. They serve brunch all day long and have high quality food and drink for whatever you order on the menu. The ambiance is wonderful, too! They have hanging flowers and soft music with clean tables and comfy chairs. If you're in Blackrock you MUST go! read more

The mellow fig. First off I love the name. It make me feel when I go ther I'm gona be chilllllliiinnn.. The vegi wrap is gudd. The hummus is defo the best part it's so chunky and it's just delectable. I've had the steak sambo ther before that's rele gud and the croc Monsieur is yum too. It's a cool cafe and the food is good but for some reason I find I don't crave it or don't go rushing out to it get it. That I cannot explain to you, I guess it's just a lil forgettable. read more

The Mellow Fig - Vegi wrap. Hummus is keyyy - Cafes Near Me - Blackrock, D

Only my second visit here (I'm unfortunately not that often in Blackrock) and both times I only got to taste their drinks. Today it was their hot chocolate and that was good. I met with a friend and we stayed for two hour and it was perfectly ok for them that we had only one drink each during that time. I had to wait a bit for my friend so one of the staff even offered me the newspaper while waiting - all to make me feel comfortable and looked after. And I like their decor - that mix of different little bits and pieces but still choosen on purpose and with love to details. Hopefully next time I'll get to taste their food too - the menu looked very good. read more

See all

The staff is wonderful and the food is lovely. Came in looking for a traditional Irish and got just that. Luckily I lade the love of getting scrambled eggs and was rewarded with some of the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. Not a giant menu, but they cover all the basics to a great breakfast. They were busy yet still had the cozy feel to it read more

I met a friend here for lunch. It is one of those places which would become a regular haunt if it were closer to my house, but I don't love it enough to go out of my way for it. The portions were large enough to give me that lovely "Mmmm, just finished lunch and can make it to dinner" with out feeling lethargic, which is always a plus. The side salad was a nice change from the usual chips sandwhiches cone with. It really helps one to not feel quite so bovinesque when you polish off everything. Also, mad props to the cute little waitress with the pink highlighted hair. It is always nice to see the counter-culture represented in fun restaurants. read more

I have lost the count about the number of time I have been there. Every time the food , atmosphere and staff are amazing . Scones are a must try. read more

Everything is great there from the staff to the food and the cuteness of the place. Lunch can be a little expensive but it's certainly worth stopping by for a treat. The warm brownie is to die for. read more

The Mellow Fig - Warm brownie - Cafes Near Me - Blackrock, D

This place fairly epitomizes 'shabby chic'. It's cute and cosy. I had lunch here yesterday, and it was pretty darn tootin tasty! The potions are sizable and nicely presented. It's got really great vegetarian options too. The staff were really lovely and chilled out. The downside for me was their outdoor seating which is pretty much on the road, but Blackrock is a bit limited for al fresco dining so at least its something. read more

This is one of my favorite spots for a lazy brunch on a Sunday afternoon! The staff are friendly & welcoming and the food is great - lovely homemade desserts and a good brunch selection including salads, etc. Decor is lovely and there's always a nice relaxed atmosphere. Love the cute little wooly hats they put on the tea pots! read more

Its so nice and cosy,you gonna fall in love with it from the first time! Its worth trying their breakfast menu,especially their Eggs Royale and Croque Madam, not to mention their amazing scones! read more

Very friendly staff, nice location and the food is good. Plus the cute interiors takes my heart

I was here a few weeks ago, and had to post as it was very lovely. I ate a quinoa and sweet potato patti which was very yummy. I think, considering this item on the menu seems to be aimed at health food cravers, they could have done with serving it on something different to a burger bun (half a star lost there) and also because the burger itself fell apart quite easily (that was where the other half star went). read more

A great place in Blackrock! It's just off the main street so could be missed if you're not looking for it ;) I love the country kitchen feel to it. It's bright and warm and the staff are lovely too. I tried the hummus wrap and it was delicious! I think it would be a nice place to take the laptop and do a bit of work so I might just try that very soon ;) read more

Going with a group? The Mellow Fig takes reservations. Yummy and unusual choice of lentils in the vegetarian breakfast. I'm a fan. read more

The Mellow Fig is a lovely, cosy little cafe. I love the cute, pink polka dot and pastel themed decor. I went for a late lunch by myself, after 3pm. The restaurant was quiet and did not have to wait for a table. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. I had heard about the cute tea-cosies at The Mellow Fig, and I wanted to see them for myself, so I ordered a pot of tea. My tea-cosy was knitted pink and yellow, very cute. My sandwich came with coleslaw, and a small side salad. The meal was tasty. Overall the staff were friendly and the food was good. I'll definitely bring some some friends next time, for a pot of tea. The cakes look good too, I can't wait to try some. read more

Very expensive for what it is . Not very good value for money . If you want basic food you can make at home then this place is for you . Plenty more places in Blackrock with better quality food at reasonable prices . read more

We have avocado toast and they have porridge with avocado slices. Each city has their own. It's a nice twist that I am going to make when I get home. Such a good atmosphere here that is more laid back. Fair prices and great staff. read more

cozy little place with the friendly staff. Good for Sunday brunch when you feel like you have too much time. I like Blackrock so that's the other reason for me to visit read more

This is my third time eating here at the Mellow Fig and it's ok. I would recommend it more for breakfast than for lunch or just stop in for a pot of tea and see which crazy tea cozy you might get! The floor is in serious need of a good scrub and the food is decent. The staff is always friendly and pretty quick. read more

This is one of my favourite cafes to go to in Dublin for breakfast or lunch. The food is really delicious and well-presented, and the staff are always smiling! The highlight for me is the array of colourful, handmade tea cosys that they have behind the counter and it's a nice touch getting your teapot with it's own unique tea cosy around it! The food is also good value here and they've a lovely selection of desserts too. I can't recommend the place highly enough! read more

haunt of High Court Judge doing Simplex Xword. Horslips member chats about good Gigs. T Bone size Meringues and very dangerous Roulades . Very helpful people. Go early to have a seat. read more

Super cosy spot nestled just off black rock Main Street. This rather large cafe is so perfectly designed that you feel that your popping into your aunts house for a cup of tea. Lunch times you should expect to wait however, which is fine because you can proper yourself up on their oversized couch and have a look through the menu. The menu is perfect, and the presentation is definitely more than you'd expect for this shabby-chic spot. We opted for the ginger and carrot soup, very tasty and so wholesome with no watering down in sight, tasty veggie wrap and the burger in a bowl. Great portions that leave you full. Staff are so welcoming and relaxed. Id love to try out their mellow movie nights where they screen an old school favourite with plenty of refreshments and popcorn. Menu was also coeliac and vegetarian friendly. So too were some of the tasty baked treats by the cashier... Heavenly chocolate cake anyone? read more

Was here on August 12 for a bit of late lunch. Went for the open tuna and cheese sandwich, which was satisfying without being exceptional. Got a side of home made fries, which were tasty enough but again lacked a little something. Decor is shabby-chic but wasn't mad about the plastic tablecloths. They'd be better off without them. I'm not familiar with Blackrock eateries but I'd try out a few others before I'd go back to the Mellow Fig. read more

It was quite by accident that I found this funky little restaurant. I was taken aback by how friendly the staff were. As one reviewer said they actually looked pleased to see you and serve you which isn't the case with a lot of places nowadays. I had a bowl of the most magnificent tomato, vegetable soup with lovely big chunks of vegetable and accompanied by some equally delicious brown bread. Alas that was all I had time to eat as my parking disc was about to expire. I had never heard of the place but can't wait to return for proper lunch with my friends. read more

Really cosy place, very friendly service, loved the coffee & the breakfast. Will definitely be going back whenever I'm in Blackrock !

I've been to this café three times & love the interior-bright colours, funky décor. It would be a regular haunt but for the coffee. I'll admit it's a particular bugbear of mine but I like good coffee when I go to a café (which I don't think is unreasonable!). Whether I'm eating something sweet or savoury I'll always have a cappuccino but there are few places in Dublin that know how to make a decent one. It's obvious that people who are hired as baristas are not trained properly/given any training at all. I brought a different friend with me each visit but every one of them was as disappointed as me when it came to the coffee. On two occasions we had to send back cappuccinos because they were scalding hot & the ratio between coffee & frothed milk was wrong (ie. barely any frothed milk). The staff in fairness were extremely friendly but when we tried to explain what the problem was they just looked blankly--they clearly didn't understand the difference between cappuccinos & lattés. It's such a shame because it's a lovely café & if they did decent cappuccinos I'd be practically living there. None of my three friends have been back for the same reason. When are café owners going to realise that coffee is an important part of their business & you can't charge almost €3 for an undrinkable cappuccino? read more

I wasn't aware of the existence of this little place until i was told to meet someone for lunch/coffee today. Tucked up a little side road in blackrock, its location didn't seem to deter business,.. nice bustling lunchtime trade. They have gone for the cutesy pastelly oil cloth, vaguely sexy-ed up Laura Ashley look. Comfy though. Great staff, just perfectly friendly and chatty, nothing too much troubly , imagine they actually seemed to like being there! Coffee came quickly and was pretty good actually,, and i am a royal pain in the ass about coffee... The pour might have been a little long but it was definitely a decent aul bean :) Menu arrived produced by ever charming floppy haired waiter... I am on one of those boring no carbs no sugars thing ( medical not vanity!) at the moment, so i dread normally asking for something off menu you can feel the eyes rolling from the kitchen generally but sure enough, a perfedtly cooked, perfectly seasoned chicken breast arrived on a generous rocket and parmesan salad dressed lightly with lemon and olive oil. exactly what i ordered. For a small backstreet cafe, they did bloody good! Everyone was happy with what they had and it hummed of happy kitchen, happy staff, happy customers. Only downsides were the chairs were sorta like kids school chairs and were not exactly comfortable. The Mellow fig, Kinda hate the name but loving the place! read more
