Flaky golden brown crust engulfing sausage, a pastry and protein mix for day or night. We also tried the Gur Cake which was made of compressed fruit covered by stale bread and white powder coating.

Queen of Tarts (both locations) is by far one of my favorite tea room/bakeries. They carry only the finest sweets and teas. Everything is homemade. They do an excellent brunch as well. The scones have got to be some of the best ever. I've had a lot in my travels and these are grand. The service is always excellent as well. The decor is as charming as it gets. Proper tea service on floral patterned China, giving all the Marie Antoinette feels. A+.

Visiting Ireland for the first time, on my way to the Guinness Storehouse for a tour, I came across…read moreMannings Bakery. Looking over their case of baked treats, I decided to grab one and had a good experience, overall. I walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and perused the case for a moment, figuring out what was what and narrowing down what I wanted. The inside is a good size with a few tables and some stool seating. The inside is very much a café. It took over 10 minutes to get the woman behind the counter to take my order, but she was fairly busy prior to me walking in. She did a nice job answering my questions though and cashed me out quickly. Afterward, I found a stool and had a seat and waited no more than five minutes before she came over with a tray with everything I ordered! I ordered a custard slice and an Americano. The custard slice description is a golden and flaky puff pastry filled with fresh Irish Cream & Custard Sweet Fondant. The custard slice was nicely sized and had plenty of cream in the middle! I wish the top of the pastry wasn't hard though, it made eating it VERY messy and cumbersome, but it did taste good. The Americano paired nicely with my treat. Once I finished my mid-afternoon snack, I was told I could leave my dishes and they'd pick them up - a full-service café! Manning's Bakery is a cute little bakery/café serving up some delicious looking treats. I don't think I'd order the custard slice again - the top of the pastry being that hard made it cumbersome to bite and cut into and made a mess. The workers behind the counter were friendly enough but came off stressed out still. If I ever come back to Dublin and am in the area, I'd be willing to come back and try another one of their pastries or maybe a slice of one of their cakes!

We happened upon this lovely little sweets shop with an expansive offering of detectables, with quaint tables and an excellent tea menu. We each ordered our sweet of choice, for me the Lemon Cake and for my Hubby, the Rose Cake. I then ordered the Laduree Specialty Tea and he ordered the Marie Antoinette Tea. We both loved the cakes, both were the perfect amount of sweet and flavor and the teas were so complimentary in flavor to our sweets. The service was very good as well. I would definitely recommend!

Luckily I won a voucher by Crowe Cakes at the Secret Supper Yelp event in April…read more It coincided with a coffee morning I organised a few days later so I asked if it's possible to get cupcakes for it. Sinead was very professional in managing that on such a short notice. She has a couple of new fans now as a result :-) Everyone I got to speak to loved them - me inclusive. And we were impressed by the presentation which also made it easy and safe for transportation. The dough was lovely fluffy and the icing nicely matching and only light sweet - I personally don't like it too sweet so they were exactly my taste. You could just see and taste how much passion went into them. I definitely will keep recommending Crowe Cakes.

So far we have tried the Coffee & Walnut (coffee filling, coffee glaze, walnut coating) and Dubai, described as "A delightful fusion of Middle Eastern flavours, filled with crunchy, toasted kataifi pastry & rich pistachio cream topped with our handmade ganache & sprinkled with crushed pistachios!" Some of the more outlandish varieties include the Strawberries & Ice Cream Birthday Cake as well as some of the specialties for Easter, brightly decorated with bunnies, easter eggs, and the like. The coffee is very good too, prepared espresso-style (so order an Americano for a plain black coffee). Add to that reasonably prices, friendly service, a cheerful room, what more do you need? Be prepared for a moderate wait though; this place can be busy.

We had to leave it in the end, and resigned to going another day. To my sheer delight and surprise walking by Crowbar (Button Factory) a second branch of Dolce Sicily has just opened! It's much more spacious and a really comfy cool spot to hang out. The sheer array of cakes and pastries are amazing - they have loads of unusual flavours. I went for the savoury ciabatta with buffalo mozzarella, grilled aubergine, leek omelette (unusual but nice!) and baby spinach. While I did feel the price of €11 for the sandwich was quite steep, you could tell the ingredients were all seriously good quality. It was really gorgeous! You could add soup or a salad for an extra two quid also. I went for their soup which was Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato - really zingy and fresh. We were both pretty stuffed after the massive lunches but decided to go for one of their amazing looking cannolis - WOW. We chose the pistachio cannoli and it was out-of-this-world delicious. Definitely worth a try!
