To start with I'd like to note that my next statement might seem a tad obvious given the star…read morerating I've given but here goes: I like the Butlers Pantry! And why, you might well ask? Because every single thing about it is nice. The food, the service, the fact that it hasn't turned into a big shop selling crap and has rather stayed as a small shop selling good things. It is a shop that allows for buyers remorse only in the sense that you wished you'd bought more. I realise at this point that I should probably talk about the food but frankly that's been already so I won't bother. What I will say is that they have the best, most incredibly phenomenal chocolate brownies that the world has ever known. Also the coffee they sell is good stuff too! On another note the staff are perfectly wonderful. They are friendly, they are helpful and they actually seem to enjoy working there. Having said that, if I got to sit with chocolate brownies all day I'm fairly sure I'd enjoy it too :) You might wonder why I only gave 4 stars. The answer is that they don't appear to do macaroons any more, or at least they didn't the last time I went in. A small thing but a thing nonetheless.

This place was near our airbnb and so I would run an errand every morning to get breakfast for the…read morefamily during our stay. This place had a line outside the store to pick up baked goods for the day - and I see why! We started by trying the Ham and cheese croissant - custard croissant and chocolate croissant: each one was eyeball-rolling-to-the-back-of-your-head phenomenal. The guy that pre-opens the store (e.g. sets out the chairs on the patio an hour before they truly open) isnt the friendliest - I asked if they were open upon seeing him one morning and his says "no" and just doesnt even look up at me. After tasting their goodies and seeing that line, I am sure he gets asked that a million times every day, so I try not to hold his "not morning person" attitude against him. This was a fantastic spot to pick up and run (it is quite small if you're looking to stay and eat here though). Make sure to order any and everything there: we wished we had more time so we could have eaten more of their delicacies!

Roly's is a Ballsbridge institution and with the cafe they have struck gold. It's a lot more casual than the bistro and great for breakfast. They also do lunch and dinner but it's pretty busy then and the cafe isn't that big. You will generally find a lot of suits in the cafe at lunchtime as it's very popular with the people from the surrounding offices. They do have nice breads and takeout food as well, but if you can spare half an hour and can get a table, I would go for one of their cakes and a nice cup of coffee.

He said that they were full. Surprising, but who knows maybe 30 people were about to descend to occupy the empty tables? We walked past after eating next door at Butlers (Lovely grilled sandwiches and marvelous chocolates) and voila, still a mostly empty restaurant at Avoca. WHAT IN HELL IS GOING ON??? If the manager is reading this, do something about your staff, they are terrible and bad for business. Pity, because we know that the food is good, and pity for Avoca they lost customers for no reason. Just not right.

I prompted, hoping for a little help. "No," she said with a shy smile, "Nothing like that." Argh! Then how will I ever find the jewel that is The Baking House should they ever up stick and leave the Point Village Market?! I mean, now that I'm hooked on that apricot loaf I've got no choice but to follow them like a lost puppy. While the PVM's baked-goods stall selection is vast, to be frank it's all very familiar. I've been spoiled for choice when it comes to my carb intake in the City Centre, and famers markets have always been a go-to for yeast-risen sweets with organic pedigree. Sure, I've supped my share of gluten-free treats but none have knocked me over quite like the unassuming fruit bread I picked up today from The Baking House's stall. It wasn't cheap, ringing up at 4 Eurons, and along with His pick of two muffins at 2.50 each, well... they're most definitely treats in every sense of the word. Still, that dense, chewy and fruity bread was worth every penny. And what's more, they've got savoury stuff on offer as well. If you're in the PVM next weekend make sure to stop in, you never know when they'll just up and vanish.

I ordered eggs Benedict and say down. Tables were not cleared and when the guy finally came round he took plates off but didn't wipe which meant I ate amongst other peoples crumbs, literally. Same guy gave me my food. Which included two grease covered cutlery pieces, one of which had food on the back. I asked for a new one. Eggs were ok but swimming in hollandaise sauce. Muffin is advertised as toasted. It wasn't. Spinach was hanging off the side of the plate. I also found egg shells in my food. Clearly they are trying to be upmarket but they don't deliver. Hire waiting staff and pay attention to presentation, eggs slipping around the plate is not impressive. Wouldn't go back again.

Wow. I rarely write about how terrible my food experience was because well, I generally enjoy all…read moremy meals. But this place is something else. I came with my partner for breakfast on a Saturday morning. I don't think the staff could have looked more diasappointed that two paying customers had entered. There was nobody else inside at peak breakfast time- should have been an indicator to leave. Nonetheless, we ordered scrambled eggs on toast, adding sausage and bacon as a side. It's only happened a few times in my life where I've regretted paying for a meal, but as my partner handed the money over all I could feel was regret. Again, at this point we should have just cancelled everything and left. So I watched my 'scrambled' eggs get heated in the microwave and my 'toast' dehydrate in the oven. Seriously, how can you get TOAST wrong!?!? Our sides were forgotten and when we reminded a staff member, I then watched her put bacon and sausage in the microwave before serving if go us. Bacon should never be treated with such disrespect. Surprisingly, the coffee was not terrible, but I have had better. The breakfast was awful, just awful. Not sure whether this is a cafe or deli, either way I'm content not knowing because I have no intention of ever going back. Do yourself a favour and please, save yourself and go anywhere else! I even found myself thinking that I could get a better breakfast from the petrol station across the street.
