15 minute line on a Saturday at 12pm even with the rain. The loaves of bread were mostly gone at this point so I recommend coming in earlier if you want the seasonal loaves and sourdough. If you only want the bread, there's a separate pre-pay tablet if you don't want to wait in line. Cruffins were almost out too. Plenty of focaccia and other pastries left. Seating was crowded so definitely bring a friend to reserve a seat while you wait in line. Staff was very nice and worked as fast as they could. Very warm inside.
The line was out the door at 9:30 AM but it went by super fast. The staff were super friendly and even though the line moved quickly, they don't make you feel rushed. It was very efficient. The pastries were the most delicious pastries I've ever had. I cannot recommend coming to Bread 41 enough. We went multiple times during our trip to Dublin and I still wish I went more. Don't miss out on this delicious place
There was quite a line when I first arrived in the morning. There were two employees working and the line went by pretty quickly. I ordered, I think, roughly 6 items. I wish they had been put in a box, but they were bagged. I had really high hopes for the pastries, but I didn't quite enjoy them. Overall, they were a bit hard. I don't mind a good crunch of the outer layer, but it was more than that. The morning bun seemed to be the popular item but mine looked burnt. I would say the best pastry I got was the pistachio cruffin. It did have a nice crunch with a soft inside and the cream was the perfect amount of sweet. They don't do takeaway coffee. It was 5 euros if I wanted a coffee to go which they said I get the money back if I return the cup.
Where do I begin? I truly believe everything on their menu is spectacular. I've only ordered 4 items but each of them were absolutely amazing. The Almond Croissant was my least favorite which is incredible since it's my favorite pastry and it was the best almond croissant I've ever had. So crispy outside and creamy almond paste inside. Incredible. The Ham and Cheese Croissant was the crispiest croissant I've ever had, but so buttery and amazing. The Sausage Roll is new to us as we live in the States. We've had the best London has to offer at the Black Pig in Borough Market, which is amazing. But this one, while must smaller, it was so tender and so flavorful. We need these in the USA. The best item we had was the Salted Caramel Knot. For starters there isn't a strong caramel flavor, but it is lightly sweetened and salted butter is soaked into the bottom of this know. It was mind-blowing and addictive. Great job to this team of bakers on everything being so great.
This is a quaint, small shop that gets packed with patrons. It smells divine upon entering those doors with the aromas of bread, coffee, and happiness from carb overload. I ordered the cinnamon roll and loved the flaked layers of the roll. It wasn't very "gooey", but it was delicious and the cinnamon filling with the flakiness of the dough was my visited part. They make a cream cheese frosting either lemon and orange zest and you get explosions of citrus on your tongue with each bite that's got frosting. Overall, a good spot and I deeply wish I had a bottomless pit of a stomach so I could've eaten more items. Staff was friendly, the reason for 4 stars is due to there being not a lot of seating and seating being dirty when we went.
My wife and I came in for breakfast 3/6 days in Dublin as it is just around the corner of our hotel. The pastries and breads are great here! Their coffee is pretty good as well, but unfortunately this morning (4/25/2025), they were having some electrical issues, so not coffee was available. They did have hot tea available. They also could not warm up our pastries this morning. The employees were very apologetic about not having coffee available and electrical issues. Bread 41 has a cool coffee shop vibe and we will miss coming in for breakfast in the morning as this is our last visit before flying home.
Cute pastry shop. Pastries are huge. I finished half of one only even though I only got two. They were both delicious! I preferred the chocolate almond croissant! Big shop with lots of seating. They have counter seating and table seating. Sugar and cream is self serve. You order at the register and handle the rest!
The pastries here were amazing! It was very difficult to decide which ones to have, so I picked several to try over the course of several days. They were all very good. Here is a list with my favorites on top: * Potato danish: when in Ireland, I had to try a potato pastry; the cilantro pesto on top added a bold flavor to a savory danish * Cheese and onion tart: the sweet caramelized onion is to die for * Dark chocolate rye cookie: a cookie that is not too sweet, which is what I like * Goat cheese and pickled beetroot pastry: this actually makes a buttered pastry taste healthy * Carrot cake cookie: the cream cheese frosting was so good; it must have been the Irish milk that made the difference * Cinnamon scroll: a bit too sweet for me, but the frosting was still good I recommend dining in, because some of the pastries can be warmed up. The potato danish and cheese and onion tart were even better warmed up. Now if I can figure out how to sample their different loaves of bread without buying each big loaf...
The long lines are worth it. I came here with my sister on a Monday morning and we waited 20 minutes to get in. We ordered a potato tart with Chimichurri sauce, focaccia veggie pizza (this had a kick!), pain au chocolate, and dark chocolate rye cookie, along with coffee. Everything was tasty, and fresh. The quality is top notch. The staff were great at getting customers their order quickly, and with courtesy and friendliness. The customers were holding seats for others who were not yet there, making it hard for parties who had everyone there to find seats. But folks seem to eat pretty quickly and leave without dallying, so we didn't have to wait too long to find chairs.
I went here with a couple of friends and it was fantastic. The line was out the door when we arrived but it moved quickly and was so worth the wait. I got a croissant, a morning bun, a cruffin, a hot chocolate, and two croissants to go for another day. Everything was so good! My favorite was the croissant, but the topping on the cruffin was amazing. It was sweet and creamy and so flavorful. The restaurant was busy so it was pretty loud, but we were lucky and were able to get stools by the window. They don't have free wifi but they do have a bathroom for customers. The people working here are fast and friendly. They bring your drink very quickly and do a great job making them. This place is fantastic and you should absolutely go here.

Everything was absolutely fantastic! They have fresh savory and sweet options. I accidentally dropped the top dollop of the croffin and the staff member was very kind to replace it with a new one, which was not necessary but VERY much appreciated! It was very clean, organized, and well run/managed. They have two restrooms and have water available as well. We enjoyed this place so much we went twice (which we try not to do) during our Ireland road trip! Tried the onion and the potato savory pastries and they were perfect! Their chocolate croissant was also wonderful. Very buttery and flaky. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 read more
I dropped into Bread 41 on New Years Day -- it was one of the few places open and they sure were bopping! There was a line out the door, but it moved super quickly. I didn't wait more than 5/10 minutes. I grabbed a couple of different things for us to try -- the focaccia, morning bun, salted caramel roll, and the cinnamon roll. My favorite was easily the focaccia, which could compete with the best I had in Italy -- so good. The morning bun was good, but nothing crazy exciting. The salted caramel roll had to be the least caramel-y caramel roll I've ever had, but it didn't taste bad and the salted part was interesting (in a good way!). The Cinnamon roll was unique, which I appreciate. It had a big glob of cream cheese frosting (too much for me, but I imagine it would float a lot of folks' boats) and some orange flavoring! I quite liked the orange. I wanted to get a matcha to go, but they said they didn't have disposable cups. You could buy a 5 euro reusable one and then if you brought it back you'd get a refund... interesting, but I was leaving that day and wouldn't be back in the area. I can't speak to the ambiance because we were in and out, but it looked like they had a decent amount of space. All in all, I would recommend this place! For me it was a 4, but I'm sure for some it would bop up to a 5. read more

There was a short 10 minute wait on a weekday morning around 8:30 a.m. It is bustling with people getting their morning pastry and coffee for work, but the line goes by quickly. If you're dining in, you order at the counter and get a table number to place wherever you decide to sit. There's plenty of seating inside which is a plus. What I got: -Potato danish- savory; slight salty, crispy flakey layers. -Sausage roll- slightly salty for my preference, but has a very crispy crust and a meaty sausage in the middle. We went back a second time on our trip and got a few more pastries, all of which were very delicious. The pastries were hot, flakey, glistening, delicate, and perfectly sweet on both visits. I would definitely come back if I were to visit Dublin again. read more
Bread41 is an amazing coffee and pastry destination in Dublin. I was very satisfied with the service. The coffee and pastry were both of good quality. I appreciated that they used good ingredients and are a certified B corps. read more

So glad we stopped by here! Probably the best latte I've had in Dublin since I've been here. I got an almond chocolate croissant too and it the filling was delicious. It was pretty busy but we found a seat and enjoyed our snack at the table. read more

Delicious! You make bread and use it in the name of your shop??!! I'm there. Gorgeous pastries both savory and sweet and more kinds of bread than you can imagine. The staff member who helped me was so kind and helpful, and extremely patient given my vacation brain fog. Good amount of indoor seating but also easy for take away. read more

There was a long line when we came in but it's clear this is an impressive, high quality bakery. There were so many options to choose from and the staff was very helpful and attentive. We ordered a few things and I genuinely believe you can't go wrong here. We'd love to come back! read more

Ambience: 1/1 Service: 0.5/1 Food: 3/3 If you love sweets and pastries, Bread 41 is the place for you! I was staying at a hotel nearby and wanted a snack, and the line was so long it went out the door. However the wait was worth it because when we got to the front I felt like a kid in a candy store - everything looked so delicious! I have to give 0.5/1 for service on my rating scale though because while I appreciate how busy they were having to keep up with so many customers, I had allergies and when I asked about if some pastries had nuts in them they weren't able to answer. Nonetheless, I took the risk (fortunately I'm not deathly allergic, I would have just been quite uncomfortable) and got some that looked nut-free. And wow they were so absolutely delicious! I would love to come back and try some more if I'm ever back in Dublin! I would 100% recommend stopping by if you get the chance! read more

Best pastries I have had in a long time. The coffee was great as well. Definitely a busy place so I wouldn't expect a table if you're with 5+ people. Perfect spot for a coffee date. Highly recommend! read more

The que out the front door tells the story. Bread 41 offers a wide variety of baked goods of high quality, coffee and teas. I was particularly interested on one occasion in their offering of a couple of savory pastries with interesting flavor combinations. The cheese and chutney croissant didn't disappoint. On a busy day finding a table to sit isn't easy. read more

Absolutely fantastic bakery. The focaccia that I had was genuinely the best focaccia I've ever had (and I've had some good focaccia), it had butternut squash on top that was just divine. Nice interior, lots of seating, great staff. Went back on a Sunday and the selection was a bit wiped out (still lots of options, just not nearly as much as a weekday), so I recommend stopping in early on a week day to snag the very best stuff. The secret is out about Bread 41, so expect a line (it'll move fast). The focaccia pictured is the focaccia I got on my second visit (still very good, but more pizza than traditional focaccia). If they have butternut squash focaccia--get it! read more
This popular bakery is nearby our hotel, and no matter the hour there seemed to be a line out the door for their wares. On the last day in Dublin, we decided to go early to pick up breakfast and luckily there was no line. Their pastries and breads are laid out like jewels behind glass, so it is definitely a lovely experience for the senses. We got an almond croissant and a cinnamon roll to share with our hotel coffee. I particularly liked the icing on the cinnamon roll as they used some type of sour cream topping versus the usual sugar icing. It made such a big difference to the taste and was perfect for breakfast. Now I want that topping on all my cinnamon rolls. The almond croissant was also great, lovely texture and plenty of almonds. I wish we had more mornings to try more pastries. read more
