Delicious & affordable fruit tarts (4/5 green stars) I…read morepicked up two tartlets from Heaven's Cakes in the English Market and wish I had bought more! They were only €2 each, which seems amazing really. They were both fruit-nut combinations - one had plums on top while the other had rhubarb and the nuts were pistachio and almond. Both were delicious and I have to say I preferred them to the tart I tried from the Queen of Tarts in Dublin a few days later. Heaven's cakes tarts and pastries are a little more rustic looking but I actually prefer them that way. I'm also giving them 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact. Here are some pros and cons: Pro: *You're supporting an independent, family-run business. *They provide a simple paper bag (preferable to boxes with plastic windows). *They appear to support community events like a healthy eating day at a local school Cons: *I don't know much about their ingredients - would be nice to know a few things, e.g., are eggs free range? Any organic ingredients used? Where is fruit sourced? Etc. Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me! (greenstarsproject)

My latest purchase consisted of two French style tartlets: one a Berry and Almond mix, the other of Lemon Curd (photo), €2.00 each. Both were delicious. Service is always good and, while the wrapping may not be quite up to the French standard, it is not far off it and, in any case, is totally adequate. Web is www. Heavenscakes.ie but it didn't work last time I tried it.

The prices are moderate, but the staff is completely overstrained, when the nearby companies are on lunch break. The queues are much too long, the waiting time for a sandwich are extended. The food is good, not doubt about that. I had a toasted jumbo with brown bread, chicken, cheese and salad for € 5,50. Quite tasty with added salt. Do yourself a favour, don't come during lunch time. You may find a seat inside or, if the weather is nice, on the sidewalk in the emissions of the passing cars.

Scurry away your thoughts of grabbing some java at a convenience store (or even at your hotel) and saddle on up to my newest, most favorite spot on earth. Filter is here to save your day! On a recent weekend morning I was up early (thanks baby!) and in need of coffee. While leisurely strolling along the river (and with a bit of help from my Yelp app) I came upon Filter, which was just opening its doors, hauling in jugs of milks for their coffee artistry endeavors. A sign if I ever saw one. Caffeine was to be mine. My latte was gorgeous (photo below) and hit the spot. The real stuff. I wish there was a Filter in every city in which I visit in the world, I'd not have to worry about caffeine reduction anxiety. Ha, I'm kidding! Sort of. *Small seating area (a few high tables) and pastries/light sandwiches on offer as well.

I had a Guatemalan filter coffee with a distinct taste of chocolate, delicious! I'm not a coffee Nerd, not really, but I know when I walk into a place and i'm out of my depth that something special is happening. Filter Coffees, weird coffee paraphernalia... soya milk! This place is gonna be massive for O'Sullivan's Quay. They built the place themselves, laid the floor, made the counters from old doors and wardrobes. Its a TINY space, but there is a more space than you think to sit, around by the espresso bar etc.... Despite the fact that I live on the other side of the city, I will be visiting this tasty little spot regularly. Its worth the walk.
