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

Excellent coffee and even better pastries and bread, probably the best I've had anywhere in the world so far. They mistakenly charged me for twice the number of coffees I actually ordered but even that didn't hamper the experience (and the corrected the mistake). read more

We expected a line and there was a line out the door. It moved quickly and was worth the small wait. We had a chocolate croissant and pear and almond cake slice (not sure exactly what it's called). Both were very good! Americano and cappuccino were also good and very hot! It was definitely worth the stop! read more

Absolutely spectacular pastries and beverages in a cozy room or to take away. The line is quick and soon we were tucking into a bostock, morning bun, and enormous sausage roll that was crispy and chewy with great flavor. Very efficient clearing of dish ware no longer needed. By the way, the bostock is a slice is brioche soaked with syrup, topped with finely coved cooked apples, and a "lid" I couldn't figure out (time for another visit?). read more

Bread 41 - Lattes and pastry, good morning start. - Cafes Near Me - Dublin, D

Bread 41 was our very first stop upon arriving in Dublin after our long flight from the US, and it did not disappoint! When we arrived it was busy with a line practically out the door. There were so many pastries to choose from but I decided to go with the morning bun which looked a bit like a sugary cronut. My partner ordered one as well along with a flat white and a sausage roll. The pastries were some of the very best I've ever had! In fact one of my biggest regrets of our whole two week trip in Ireland was not visiting Bread 41 again before leaving. The morning bun was so perfectly flakey and sweet, and the sausage roll was savory with a hint of sweetness. My partner enjoyed his flat white and we left feeling extremely satisfied and ready to explore Dublin for the day. read more

Bread 41 - The morning goods - Cafes Near Me - Dublin, D

I had read about Bread 41 and decided I would try it on my recent trip to Dublin. One day I was walking around and nearby and decided to try Bread 41. As I approached the bakery, I saw long line of people waiting to get in and order. Now for some context - I had just come from NYC and had a somewhat negative experience waiting in line at a well-know bagel shop, only to be disappointed, so naturally I had the same thought - is this place all hype and in the end not any better than other bakeries in the area? Not wanting to take a chance, I decided not to wait. Fast forward a couple of days - I decided I would go the route of dining at the Cafe - only to be disappointed as there were no times available. And keep in mind the cafe is only open Friday through Sunday. Well, now I was determined to try this place and kept checking the reservations. As luck has it, a spot opened up! Long and short - this place LIVES up to the HYPE! I decided I would be a bit decadent to start and had one of their breakfast pastries and a cappuccino. OMG - it was divine. The pastry so light and flaky and just the right amount of sweetness. I am sure if I lived in Dublin I would weigh a ton as I would be at the bakery everyday overindulging. I had such a hard time deciding on my main course. My server was fabulous and helped guide me through the menu. For my main course I ended up with the Mushrooms on Toast - Mixed wild mushrooms, mushroom ketchup, seasonal pesto, smoked almonds, fried egg, Hegartys cheese on pan fried toast. At first I thought - wow - there is alot going on with this plate. Sometimes I find chefs do too much when constructing a plate, but not in this case. It was a delicious blend of textures and flavors. I'd order the dish again in a heartbeat. My only complaint - and I experience this in other restaurants - I prefer my egg a little less done, where the yolk is a bit runny, creating what I call natures gravy. Service was great - attentive, yet not overbearing, helpful and super friendly. If you're in Dublin, make the effort and visit Bread 41! Helpful Hints: - You need to make a reservation. I saw so many people turned away as they were booked. - There is a side door for the cafe upstairs so that you don't have to fight the crowds in the bakery. - Come hungry! And take a box of pastries to go. read more

This was one of the highlight places we ate while in Dublin! It was so good we even came back 2 mornings in a row to get take away items for our drive to the next city. The first visit we ate upstairs in the restaurant. Most people in the group had the opened face breakfast sandwich and I had the Benedict. Everything was delicious including the coffee. After breakfast, we went downstairs and left with a bag full of goodies! In my opinion, the cruffin being the highlight. The following morning, we went back for the baked goods. We left with 3-4 bags full including a loaf of country sourdough that was incredible! I would definitely recommend for breakfast or a quick pastry to go! read more

Worth the wait in line. Croissants, pain au chocolate, cinnamon roll and a "cruffin?" And coffee. The pastries were flaky, generous and if you closed your eyes while taking a bite, you are transported to France. To go coffees are served in a 5 quid reusable cup that you can redeem next time you're there. read more

This is a top tier bakery that is definitely worth the wait in the line that is always present. Because the line wrapped around the building, we were a little worried that when we did get to the front that there wouldn't be anywhere to sit. Thankfully they have a very cute interior with plenty of seating. The pastry selection looked amazing and I wish I could've ordered everything and taken a loaf of bread home too! Unfortunately we were here for our last breakfast before heading home. We ended up getting the croissant, the savoury croissant, and the morning bun. They were all delicious and hard to pick a favorite. I truly think you can't order wrong here and that everything is going to be delicious. read more

Everything was tops. Croissant Was spot on, Early morning sitting at the window counter was blissful. Count recommend more highly. And the service was kind clever and fun. read more

God this place is good. They have a solid variety of flavors - tahini to rhubarb to chocolate. The bostock wasn't the best I've had but I don't even care. The rhubarb pistachio pastry is delicious, the sausage rolls are fabulous, flat whites are smooth, and the lemon custardo (& cruffin) are to die for. There will be a line out the door on the weekend but it's worth it. It's very crowded with limited seating, so you might have to eat outside. read more

Bread 41 is an absolute MUST when you're in Dublin! We stopped in mid October and the cafe was the perfect vibe for fall, super cozy. Be sure to book a table for upstairs if you want to sample their delicious brunch menu. The staff was so sweet, very lovely and helpful with suggestions. The pressed potatoes with poached eggs and chimichurri was the absolute star of the show for me. The texture with the added crunch of the almonds was absolutely divine. The sourdough was out of this world. I wish I could've tried a bite of every single pastry they had on display. That's my mission for next trip. Can't wait to go back! read more

We always look for the best bakery's using the best ingredients. After trying many in Dublin on our very last morning we walked and walked til we found it. Sooo delicious even more so than the others. Such a delicious surprise after a few miles but worth every step and calorie‼ read more

Amazing pastries -- easily the best pain au chocolat I've ever had in my life. The morning bun was delicious too and had the perfect amount of cinnamon sugar to flaky pastry ratio. I recommend coming here mid-morning rather than first thing if you can help it otherwise you'll face a line out the door and nowhere to sit. read more

Somehow we arrived when there wasn't a line. If you're in a line: it's worth the wait! The veggie sandwich with carrot hummus, veggies and dill pesto on incredible bread is seriously the best sandwich I have ever had! Then, we had a morning roll for dessert. WOW, just wow! The atmosphere is cute and fun. Don't miss this gem. Cheers! read more

Best pastry in Dublin. If you're looking for that flaky deliciousness, then look no further. I had the plain croissant and the lemon curd pastry, both living up to every expectation. My husband had the chocolate croissant and agreed. read more

Delicious. 4+ I had what looked like a Portuguese egg tart and another pastry called "salted" something, which was kinda like a Kouign Amann. Both were delicious. The egg tart (I think it was called custard something) was not exactly like a Portuguese egg tart. The custard was eggy and the perfect level of sweetness. The salted something had awesome texture. It was crunchy and sticky on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Very buttery and slightly salty. Overall, really good. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious - particularly the morning bun - staff was helpful and efficient. Fantastic!

Stopped in yesterday for a mini sampler- have not gotten over the Morning Bun or lemon curd pastry. Simply outstanding. The raspberry muffin type thing was messy and delicious. Tried the pesto/mozzarella pizza it was ok. The bakery items are the real winners here. May stop on again for a croissant and or an egg sandwich. Yum yum yum! read more

I had a savory blue cheese danish and took the rye chocolate chip cookie to go. Both were sooo good.

Visited during the weekend and the lines were out of the door. Once we got in we were greeted by a beautiful display of pastries and it was very hard to make a choice. One thing to note is that they do not make sandwiches during the weekend . I loved the salted caramel kouign Amann and the praline cruffin was quite good. I did not like the sausage roll but I could tell it was good quality , it was just not a flavor I would gravitate towards. The surprise was the brownie tahini cookie sandwich , it was so rich and decadent. I literally had to slice it and have a tiny piece through the day . I wish I could replicate it read more

Extremely tasty sausage rolls and friendly employees! Only downside is that they did not have ice for iced drinks and they menu online did not reflect what was available in the shop. I saw breakfast sandwiches on their online menu but they did not serve these. read more

This place was perfect afternoon pick me up on my Irish get away. 11/10 would recommend

We stumbled into this place after a red eye flight and a short walk. Run here! The pastries were amazing. The lattes were delicious. The service was professional and efficient. The ambience had an open working city cafe feel. There were both larger and smaller tables. The bathroom clean. I don't think there was no wifi. I wish we had bought a loaf of bread for later, they looked amazing. Highly recommend! read more
