Mid food. Very good portion for the price however. The sourdough melt had a lot of flavor and was the highlight of dinner. The nachos were pretty good but the cheese was very stretchy and wasn't good. The Asian burger was delicious but it was slightly too sweet. Small shop and not a lot of people there. Decent service, had our food within 10-15 mins. read more

Really good hot chocolate. I also ordered a slice of chocolate cake for takeaway. It was busy and they noticed I was waiting for service. Knowing and taking care of that shows experience. Thanks! read more

Busy Feet is a really nice little place set in the centre of Dublin's unofficial café district, South William St. Busy Feet is across the road from Metro Café and next door to another coffee shop, but Busy Feet is head and shoulders above the competition in one aspect: it's food. Busy Feet do amazing cooked breakfasts, and their sandwiches and paninis and such are pretty top-notch, too. The decor inside is really nice: all tiles and really big old-style beer taps (oh yeah, and Busy Feet is a licenced premises, so full bar and open til half eleven). There are tables out in front, and a small outdoor area out the back as well. Here's the thing, though: for sitting outside, Metro Café across the road is better. For one thing, Metro has more seats, but it's also just nicer for some reason. I realise that they are so close that it is essentially the same 'outside' that you are sitting in, but most of Metro's seating has south-facing aspect so it catches the sun more. And there is some sort of intrinsic quality of 'outsideyness' that Metro possesses that Busy Feet lacks. The food in Metro is pretty dire, though, and the food in Busy Feet is damn good, and there isn't actually anything wrong with Busy Feet's outdoor seating, so Busy Feet is overall a good bet. So head down to Busy Feet in the morning for a scrumptious cooked breakfast, then head over to Metro for coffee and posing while smoking fags, and then back to Busy Feet when it has reached a socially acceptable time to start drinking. Go on, make a day of it. read more

I ve been to the busyfeet cafe quite often lately, so I thought time for a review. I think the name busyfeet matchs the place perfectly fine. Or at least the waiters are on extremely busy feet, I think I never got my orders that fast after just deciding for one of the lovely lunch dishes and a cappuccino. I had the goat cheese salad highly recommend and my friend had a chicken brie sandwich which we enjoyed while scanning the menu for further visits to this place. The atmosphere is really cozy and nice, perfect to have lunch after shopping around town or just meeting for a coffee with friends. read more

Lovely café with a standard breakfast and lunch menu as well as some desserts and other good bits. The coffee had a nice taste and perfect temperature and the cake was good. The inside seating was standard and nice enough, the outside seating was lovely despite being so close to the street. read more

A nice enough cafe. On the face of it the menu looks like good value, but the portions are small. I had a BLT and an alcohol free Erdinger. Sandwich was very tasty. Staff were nice, although a bit slow in taking our order. It has nice on street seating. And it was the start of the heatwave. Felt like I was a tourist on holidays... :) read more

I love Busy Feet, I spent most of my college years here! The coffee is decent, but I love the salads and the desserts. I had a craving for a piece of chocolate cake on Sunday and remembered how amazing the death by chocolate cake is in Busy Feet. You get this HUGE slice of cake, served warm ganache and a very generous spoon of icecream. Delicious - I'm still thinking about it! read more

Busyfeet is a really cute busy little café on the corner of Couth William St. I like to pop in here for breakfast sometimes and read the papers. They do a really tasty fry and the service is always great. It's quite a mix of a crowd - all ages - but mostly young thirsty somethings, meeting friends for coffee or lunch. read more

I went there to grab some coffee and some sandwiches. I forgot the exact name of the sandwiches but it was goat cheese something (First thing in the sandwiches menu). The sandwiches was soooo delicious! It goes well with americano I ordered. The service was very friendly too. The reason why I am not giving them 5 stars is because water seems to be such a rare commodity here. Lol. I have to ask for water and it doesn't seem to be encouraged. Perhaps when serving others, always provide a cup of water as well? That would be great. But other than that, everything was perfect. Thank you! read more

Busy Feet & Coco Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dublin, D

Came here on a Sunday around lunch time and it was pretty packed. Looking at the menu, it's all pretty standard lunch items like sandwiches, salads and ciabattas. I had the tuna nicoise salad which was decent serving and didn't take too long to come despite the crowds. The breakfast/ brunch menu is mainly eggs, toast, muesli etc.. kind of standard breakfast items. They also have a good few desserts like cakes, brownies and tarts. The inside is a bit on the small and narrow side, but they have some nice outdoor seating. The service is good, the coffee is great and the food is quite cheap. A good place to stop by for a coffee/ tea and food, but not the kind of place to go out of your way for. read more

Busy Feet is a cute, hippie cafe just off Grafton Street. If weather permits, you should perch outside and watch the shoppers strolling on by. It's the kind of cafe where readers and writers can find a quiet spot to muse (I know a friend who used to bring along his typewriter and get creative here) and mates can nestle in for a chat. I've enjoyed some scrummy chocolate cake here and the bar means that you can also indulge in something a bit stronger - so the danger that lunches will turn boozy is constantly there! Atmospheric and cosy, pop in for a tea or a beer and enjoy the ambiance. read more

I found myself in the same area as the Metro Cafe, and wanting to stay adventurous, I decided to not go to the same place twice. This is how I stumbled across Busy Feet & Coco Cafe. It was bustling when I arrived, but service did not falter, and I was served promptly. Two cups of coffee and a salmon and cream cheese bagel later, I sat in the sun wishing that I could do it all over again. The coffee was perfect - although I am realizing most places seem to get coffee right. Perhaps I am just not as picky as I used to be. The bagel was lightly toasted, with smooth cream cheese, the perfect amount of dill and lovely smoked salmon. I suppose it is difficult to get it wrong... But I did get the feel that the little cafe was trying for more, and the menu suggested as much - slightly more up market tastes and choices. The price reflected this. But at least you know what you are getting. It seems it is a wine bar as well, so I shall have to pop in sometime again to get the full experience! Lastly, the fact that it was busy meant that the waiters were a little pressurized... and abrupt. They lost points for this. See more reviews at: doingdub.blogspot.com read more

I love this place. I have been there countless times, gone through their small but satisfying menu and everything it consistently tasty. I'm most familiar with their soup & sandwich deals and they are all perfect, if not a little too small. I've also had their breakfast multiple times, and while it is not the best I've had in Ireland, it still fills a whole very well. They always have fresh juice and good coffee. This is a place where you'll never be badly surprised, you will always get what you came here for, no more, no less. I would love to see more places like this one, where you can have coffee after 5 pm and not have have to risk your health on the battery juice they serve in pubs. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the service surprisingly fast considering the quality of the food. This place is the only alternative to the pub/restaurant life in the city centre and when it decides to open later, I'll come back to this page and give it that 5th star! read more

Holy cow that was the best lasagna I've ever had. Seriously. The Mumbai Railroad Chai Latte was also amazing. What a great find! read more

This used to stay open late on summer nights which was handy for non-drinkers but they've changed that. They also need a huge sign with their name on it so people can find it easier. But I love their tea and coffee selection. Their Orego Chai Tea is lovely and you can sit here for ages and keep ordering teas and coffees and cakes. The inside is so pretty, lovely wallpaper, mirrors and some nice outdoor seating at the back. Less crowded than Metro Cafe opposite, but a much more chill vibe, cute place for a pre-dinner drink or post-dinner coffee. Can actually hear yourself talk, and the candles on the table add to the mediterranean atmosphere at night. read more

This is a great little no-frills cafe that serves really nice soups, sandwiches and salads. There's plenty of seating inside and a little outdoor terrace too - so it's a great place to people-watch if the weather is being in any way obliging (which isn't very often boo!) and though the menu isn't overly exciting, the food is really fresh and the portions are generous - making it a great lunch spot. Sure, it's not the most exciting place to eat, but if you fancy a fresh, filling, fuss-free lunch - it's just the ticket! read more

Busy Feet & Coco Cafe - Mexican chicken wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dublin, D

Walking around in search of a decent cafe that could do skinny fries for my niece's birthday lunch, we settled for this place. OK, no fries, but a burger was a good alternative. OK, now their burgers are upwards of 9 euros, and I don't mind paying that, even for the one she ordered, which was a simple beef patty + ketchup on a bun. BUT, where did it all go wrong..? I'll tell you - I got my carrot cake and coffee, and my wife had her salad served up fairly promptly, but there was quite a wait for the burger to show! The below average goats cheese salad was accompanied by some dry, hard bread (apparently, that's what happens when you toast it... according to the staff) - no thanks! Here's the big disappointment though - the burger came out on a burnt bun (blackened on both sides), and after a quick taste test, was sent back to be remade. The second version was the original patty served up again with more ketchup than you've seen on Evil Dead! I mean, how can you tell if you're getting beef when all you can taste is sweet sloppy tomato goo? There you birthday girl! Only 9 euros, thanks! After some poor excuses by the management, they decided to deduct the coffee from our bill. WTF? The burger was the elephant in the room, not the coffee! So there you go folks, toasted bread turns into rock, charred buns take a little longer than usual and these guys are obviously doing pretty poor business as they can only afford to compensate a third of the cost of an overpriced, burnt, ketchup-drenched burger. Busyfeet and Coco - how unfortunate! The competition either side of you on the street are doing very well (so well, in fact, that we couldn't get an outside seat). You get the minimum of one star only because your coffee was drinkable and your waitress did a good job! We will not be back. read more

Busyfeet is great for a quick lunch or early dinner. Their sandwiches and salads are lovely. The staff are really friendly and the restaurant is bustly and busy. They have a brownie with cream for just €2.50. That's worth dropping into if you're passing by just for that! read more

Nice little cafe, the selection is small but good with sandwiches, soup and some lovely dessert items. Despite being very busy service was super fast and very friendly. I had the bruschetta (hummus and peppers instead of the normal tomatoes, a really nice fresh combination) and a mocha latte I liked so much I went for a second one straight away. Five stars - I'll come again. read more

This has to be one of my favourite cafes in town. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and even though the tables are tiny and you are pretty much sitting on the lap of the person on the next table, it is a great place. I met Glen Hansard of the Frames in here, but usually it's just a lot of regulars enjoying their fairtrade coffees and sandwiches. The staff are really nice, the food is great- even though the portions sometimes could be bigger- and they have some lovely teas and cakes as well. I usually go for the French sandwich- brie, avocado and cucumber- and a latte and I've never been disappointed. It's also not too expensive, but they do have a minimum order amount of 5 Euro during busy hours. read more

Ok you've got to come here for the best sandwich in Dublin.No seriously,stop what you're doing and go. Get the ploughmans pickle sandwich but ask for crispy bacon with it.(for a mere 1.50 extra may I add!) Enjoy with a glass of their red wine on a summer's evening. Now if you'll excuse me I have drool to wipe from my key board. read more

Found ourselves around South William street looking for a bite to eat, a.k.a. a sandwich. For some bizarre reason Metro Cafe were not serving sandwiches at 4.30 pm, so we headed over here. Very impressed by the friendly, quick, and attentive service. And more importantly by the food - we split a BLT and a tuna melt, which were both delicious. Coffee was also good. Plus... I know it's a little detail but in comparison to Metro Cafe it was nice to have a decent space between tables, and not feel like a sardine in a tin. read more

Great afternoon spot for a good quality tea or coffee. Offer decent breakfasts at designated times and a tasty selection of sandwiches especially the BLT that tops the list for me. The soup is satisfying if not repetitive and comes as an optional extra to the sandwiches. The staff is relaxed and quick. Definitely a nice spot at a decent price. Recommended read more

So........ Normally my Sunday morning ritual lands me in taste next door. Maybe I caught these guys on a particuarly bad day but the level of cheer was on par with a group in a funeral home(sorry guys had to be said) I ordered a double machiato (which was awesome) and a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel........I ate it, honestly I would eat anything.........however the bagel was hard. The better half had a fry with scrambled eggs (because she hates runny eggs) Only problem the scrambled eggs were sloppy.......very very sloppy Then the table waiting and directions to pay at the door were almost aggressive......... I wont be rushing back...... read more

I've been here a fair few times now and the one thing that always stands out is the service and the servers; I'd be hard pressed to think of a coffee shop I've gone to in the city centre that has nicer staff. Usually I wander in and am almost instantly greeted by a member of staff, even if they're pottering about with someone else's order or doing anything else, they let me know that I'm seen & will be seen to in very short order. As far as the food goes, it's ok, nothing amazing, but very good for sitting down with a coffee and chatting with a friend in place with a nice lively atmosphere. On that note, the coffee is great. I'm working my way through the menu, and while nothing stands out as being "the best", it's all "very good" as a standard. On another note, the thing that makes Busy Feet a frequent receiver of my coffee-money? Narrow-ish tables. Ok, ok, small tables mightn't be the best if you're sharing a table with 2 other people and you all got food- but think about it this way- there is literally no place for a person to park themselves down and take up space with a laptop. People with laptops pretty much characterize most (definitely a majority of) coffee shops in the city centre. My pet peeve is having a waiter tell me "Sorry, we don't have any free seats at the moment" when there's one person sitting alone at a table for 4 people, with a laptop and their Facebook page apparently needing priority updating! With Busy Feet you know that if you can't get a seat it's not because some 'poser' is squatting on a table with a laptop & smart-phone- it's because the place is busy, and deservedly so. I've gone there many a time, and will continue to do so! read more

Nice friendly (and fast) staff, great coffee, great atmosphere, whish they had WiFi though!!!!

Busy Feet is a friendly oasis in the busiest part of town. Love to have my afternoon cup while sitting in the outside corner, even on a cold day, as inside is usually a bit hectic. Don't expect to get a quick service though. The place is always packed, and the customers sure keep the staff busy on their feet all day long. But their sambos are always worth the wait. read more

Great cafe just off Stephen's Green/Grafton Street. It's a real lunch time spot and has a lovely selection of sandwhiches and salads! I usually go for the goats cheese salad with bacon which is so good! Comes with some nice bread too. Its very reasonably priced and quick service. It definitely has a sort of cool, laid back and almost 'hippy' vibe about it. Very cool place! read more

I had a business lunch at Busyfeed and Coco Cafe - recommended by the prospect author I was meeting with - and I wasn't particularly impressed. My sandwich came on dry bread, got the French: brie, salad and avocados, and the cheese slices were so fine I could barely taste it. I gave up on the sandwich completely half way in, which simply is not like me! Service was forgettable, the ambiance bustling, but I can't see what the fuss is about. read more

Busy Feet, just down from Dublin's chic Powerscourt quarter is an unassuming refuge from South William Street's usual hustle and bustle. You can choose to sit outside on a bright, cheery day and bask in the delightful Dublin sun. The café is renowned for its moist and flavoursome burgers as well as its two highly regarded deserts: the apple crumble is an indisputable highlight alongside the heated chocolate brownie and cream. This really is a highly pleasurable place to come for less spendthrift reasons too such as catching up on a novel with one of the cafe's delicious hot chocolates or a mocha from the extensive hot drinks menu. If the sun's out, sit outside and get busy exploring the appetizing drinks and burger delights. read more
