We came to Maison Gourmet to enjoy a full breakfast, not just coffee and a pastry. The coffee and…read moretea were quite good. The blueberry scone was good, a bit dry and a bit heavy for my preference. The remainder of our breakfast was mostly disappointing. My wife's avocado toast with poached eggs was mediocre. The bread was boring, the avocado was poorly spiced and the eggs were cold. She didn't even finish it. I too had poached eggs. They were cold and over salted. The porridge was very good and I'd highly recommend it. The decor is very comfortable and inviting. The staff were friendly enough, though the person at the counter taking orders felt stressed and overwhelmed. Price wise, it's a bit expensive. We're not going to return.

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 bread here is absolutely divine! The bakery is known to use a scotch brick oven (and trust me, their end product is one of the best). I am regretful that I did not bring a loaf of bread with us. Until our next trip to Ireland! We really enjoyed the pesto chicken and cheese open-faced sandwich. It was such a nice place to stop, have a pastry, warm pot of tea to gather ourselves for our next trip while on the road. We were visiting from America and on a road trip throughout the entire south before visiting family up north. It was very helpful to be able to have some wifi to help us plan our next steps.
