Some well travelled friends told us to make sure to have ice cream in each Irish city we visit in…read moreIreland. There were right! You won't find common flavors on the menu at Murphys. Each flavor is special. We got the Dingle Sea Salt and Irish Brown Bread and both were excellent! Very different flavors and the ice cream itself is creamy and rich in flavor. You can choose from cup or cone - we went with the cone since it's made in house. Severs are very friendly and allow you to sample the flavors. There can be a line but it moves along nicely - plus you kind of need time to sample and figure out what you want to get. Highly recommend if you're in Dublin!

There is no surprise that Murphy's is the most popular ice cream place in Dublin!!…read more Their customer service is great...they will let you taste everything if you ask. I tried 3 flavors and they were all great. But my fav is sea salt for sure. Their ice cream is not too rich...kinda between gelato and ice cream. I am definitely going back to try some more flavors!

Came to Dublin and a friend told me about this bubble waffle ice cream place so of course I had to…read morego. I did have a bit of trouble finding it because the sign for the place is SO SMALL!! Spent maybe about 20 minutes walking around until I finally spotted it. I've added a picture so maybe it'll be easier for everyone who sees this. They have many different flavors for the bubble waffle but since I'm a chocolate person, I went with the chocolate dream. I would NEVER pay $10 American dollars for ice cream but this one is worth every penny! The waffle was made to order and I got to see him make the waffle and the rest of the cone. And when I say this thing is huge, it's HUGE!!!! Definitely got my $10 worth! Haha!! The taste......20 out of 10!! The waffle was so soft and fresh. The chocolate ice cream.....no words for how good it was. I'm not usually a fan of other flavors but this actually makes me wanna give the other ones a try. I strongly suggest making a stop here and getting a bubble waffle. I promise it'll be the best $10 you'll ever spend!!!!!

The place is primarily a waffle/crepe, milk tea, and desserts front, and we did had a good bowl of…read moresweet milk with jelly and taro balls. But read carefully and you can see two stores in one place: Bubble Waffle Factory (for the sweets and milk tea) and Street Food Factory (for savory options). The street food menu consists of a small but signature menu of beef brisket, beef tripes, and wonton noodle soup. And as a Cantonese, I had to say the quality exceeded my expectations. The beef briskets and beef tripes were braised thoroughly, super tender, rich flavor of spices and seasoning, while the texture of respective parts remained spot-on. The broth base also had great flavor. Portion size was good for the price. For the wontons, they were a bit smaller than the ones I had in another Cantonese place, and they seemed to have small or no shrimp inside, but the intense flavor of minced pork and the bouncy texture suggested the stuffing was of great quality, and the wrap was thin enough to melt in the mouth while also resilient enough to keep the wonton intact. My only wish would be that the noodles would be less runny and bouncier. But overall, I was very satisfied with this place.

Oh! This place has won me right over :-)…read more New on the scene in Dalkey village this is such a welcomed little gem. A gelato shop which has unusual flavours like crispy choc and they cater for much more than an ice cream so inside you can find yummy desserts and cakes on display... Crepes and Waffles too! They serve up hot drinks so this well round place will satisfy the winter treats but my god, this place is going to do awesome come summer! Friendly owners they will make you up whatever concoction you want. All the ice cream is made on site and their sauces are premium gluten free so this place is defo 5 star worthy! They also sell their gelato in large tubs for take away so you can enjoy at home. 4 sizes to choose from €7-€20 which I will definitely take advantage of soon! I had the hot waffle with choc ice cream and loaded with choc sauce - who said CHOCOLATE! It was lovely freshly made in front of me, it was hot & full of taste... Winning combo! My husband opted for lemon and sugar crepe it was vanilla flavoured and was unbelievably good! So next visit to Dalkey before you take a coastal walk or treat yourself after your walk with a little something :-)

I decided to get a small cup of their raspberry cheesecake and it was so packed with flavor and delicious. I also loved the mini waffle they served with it! It gave a nice balance of flavors!

This place is so cute and decadent. The atmosphere reminds me of a quaint coffee shop (which, I…read moresuppose, it is). I went here for breakfast and ordered their Irish Porridge with seasonal fruit, cream and toasted almonds along with a blueberry scone (can't visit a tart shop and not order a dessert). The porridge was huge. There was no way that I needed both the porridge and the scone but when in Dublin... It was creamy and had a great thick texture. The scone was light and fluffy and paired well with the butter and jam they give you. My only complaint was that I would have liked a larger cup of jam for my scone but only because it was so good! I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.

The Coffee Shot is a small place with big energy and a healthy variety of options that go beyond coffee, but the coffee was what I was after! One thing I appreciated about this spot was their iced offerings. Most shops I went to in Ireland were too big on iced options on the menu, so when I walked in and saw the board with big letters spelling "iced", I knew I had arrived! I went with an iced caramel latte and it was delicious! Normally caramel can be a bit synthetic tasting, but here, they did it just right. In addition to the coffee, we got a cinnamon roll to share. Perfect combination! Overall, glad we went out of our way to swing by The Coffee Spot!

It was a while since we got the food so I can't remember what kind of burger I got (no wifi/data as we were in the sticks soo only seeing on Yelp now) but it was loaded with cheese and had a massive amount of meat. The ribs looked to die for, as you might be able to see by an earlier review posted with a picture. They were insanely good! I had a small taste and almost started drooling from how juicy and succulent it tasted! Along with the amazing food there is a little space outside that sells fresh veg and a small pen with little animals kept. Very family friendly environment!

They make to order if you want something particular, a giant cake for a special occasion for example. The prices are quite high, but the ingredients and recipes are top quality. Treats like this are worth the splurge.
