Quick bites are displayed on the counter and a clip board menu features salads, sandwiches and mains. They also serve craft beer & wine. The back corner contains a full range NEOM organic from London and Ireland's own Voya, all excellent premium products and beautifully displayed, but these skin care products and candles seem out of place in a coffee shop and the smells, while nice, can be overwhelming and uncomplimentary to your coffee or lunch. Like their fine dining establishment next door, the food is excellent.

If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

So Tillies makes me very sad, but also very happy! It seems the masses of Clontarf do be in and out of here all day and everyone is really friendly. I was here recently for a chin-wag with an old friend and we enjoyed our 90 minutes or so in the bright, bustling surroundings. We each had a cappuccino and a scone. The cappuccino was decent. Not too milky - just how like it. The scone was a wee bit dry but good all the same, served with cream and jam -my favourite! The staff were lovely, very friendly having chats with customers (everybody knows everybody so of course they are!) and just being generally smiley, which makes the cafe quite cheerful.

As it was a rainy day I went for their hot chocolate which was just devine and also had a lemon drizzle cupcake that I really enjoyed. So I'll definitely will be back for more.

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!

My son kept on asking for more ham and sausage off my plate. The food came quickly and the staff was very nice and attentive.

The staff are friendly and helpful and the decor is fresh, clean and modern with a warm feel to it. However, it's the food that blows the other eateries over there out of the water!

The quality and presentation of the food is exquisit and the best part is, it's so reasonably priced! The food is so fresh and the chicken is mouthwateringly delicious and tender. There is a large gluten free range of meals and desserts. The only thing I can faults that their otherwise delicious flourless brownies have nuts in them but that's it! I am definitely making the Vanilla Pod eatery a priority place to frequent!
