I sampled several of the local coffee shops in this area on my recent trip. I liked this one a lot. The atmosphere is good. The baked good and coffee were of high quality. Yes, the service is a little short and grumpy. It's been said before. But they were nice under it all. Not mean at all. It's a fine choice. read more

Ugh, I take it all back; funny how one rude waitress can ruin a history of good experiences. Funny, but I'm not laughing. Popped in mid-morning on a weekday for an Americano and a croissant while I waited on a friend. The be-dreadlocked woman behind the counter made eye contact but left me standing while she chatted to the barista. Rude rude rude. My pastry was tossed on a plate, my money taken and I was left again to stand, waiting for my coffee. Wow, nothing like a warm welcome on a cold morning ¡ read more

Terrible coffee and a very bad service! Ordered a bagel with bacon which was stuffed full of uncooked bacon. My double cappuccino was definitely not double, but as thin as water. The waitresses stare at customers like they hate them** read more

Only came here because costa was closed. Coffee is okay and they have a wide selection of food. The staff, all of them, are rude and indifferent. The girl taking orders was doing it faster than the barista could make them, with no concern that the customers had no where to go to wait. It was a major cluster. I asked for a scone and she got a grey because I asked which flavour one was. There were many kinds in the basket. When the coffee was done it was placed far back on the counter. I had to ask another customer to hand it to me. Then I asked about a lid. Another angry look and a strong hand point to where they were hidden by other things on the counter. Based on service alone I should guest waiting til costa opens or go to the kiosk by the luas. I will not go back to this place. read more

Thrilled with the breakfast I had here. You can get food to go or sit down and enjoy a meal. Prices are very inexpensive in comparison to other places. So many great options to choose from. The cafe is cute inside and the menu is written on a chalkboard. I plan to return as there were other menu items I want to try. I highly recommend this cute cafe. read more

Cinnamon Cafe - Yogurt bar: 3.75 or 4.75 euros depending on size!... delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

See all

Looking out onto Smithfield this is a gem of a cafe, with a truly impressive spread of choices. The breakfasts and pancakes are particular favourites. There is always a good range of pastries to have with your coffee - but they win on the range of smoothies and juices available. The staff can be a bit cranky though. This is by far the best cafe in both the Smithfield and greater Liberties area. Small update: I forgot to mention that the menu beyond breakfast - into full lunches, soups, sandwiches and everything else is vast and that everything is delicious. Regardless of what you are looking for, from health food, to vegan to guilty pleasures, up until or around dinner time, this is the place to stop in the above area - it is also worth travelling to. read more

The soup and sandwiches are not so bad but the service is so bad. Me and my colleagues actually laugh about how rude all of the waitresses are. When you make your order they just stare at you like you have ten heads, like they are doing you such a favor. Not once have I seen any of them even smile. I think it comes from the top down as the owner is the most miserable and ignorant individual I have come across in a long time. Strange place but worth checking out just for the surreal experience! read more

As I recently moved to this part of town, I started exploring all kind of cafes and places to find our new local coffee spot. So this time we decided to give the Cinnamon café a go. As I love cinnamon on or in all kind of my food, the name was pretty convincing for me right away. We only had coffees, so I can't review the food but it looked pretty good to me and the menu seemed quite nice, not sure how coecliac friendly they are tho-which means have to get back to give it a proper try. Besides this we had really friendly service and the coffees were good so nothing to complain about at all .We enjoyed them in their little outdoor seating area in the sun which made it an nice and relaxed afternoon coffee before my friend had to rush to work...we will be back soon. read more

First things first: Coffee is 1.50 after 3:30pm every day. KEY. Excellent for that afternoon pick-me-up! I recently had the Ploughman's bagel sandwich too - it was EXCELLENT - really fresh, hot, flavors were on point, and it was nice and big too. Very satisfying for a rainy afternoon (which, let's face it, is almost every afternoon in Dublin after August). The service is friendly and the ambience of the place is nice, laid back and comfy, and the wood benches, tables, and chairs are perfect and quite comfortable. It's the perfect contrast to the more modern/trendy Urbanity (which is also good but slightly more expensive) and the more commercial Costa which are both right next door. The food is definitely superior here as well, with a surprising number of options including soups which change every day and a salad bar in addition to the baked goods (which I've also had before and are nice). Nothing I could think to improve this place except if I could move it closer to my apartment! read more

Only place open on a Saturday early morning for coffee and breakfast in the area. Placed order the counter girl was very nice but the credit card machine when she went to ring me out was not working. The owner or manager arrived at this time and was a complete jack ass. Asked if i had cash, i said no. He fidgeted with machine for a second, said I don't know, mumbled something else and then walked away not giving a damn about his customers . I stood there unsure of what to do, counter girl apologized, and left hungry and needing coffee read more

I work right next to this cafe. It's pretty decent food, slightly more than I want to pay. It gets pretty packed around lunch time so beware! read more

The restaurant is located in the Smithfield Square close to the LUAS stop.. They have a breakfast buffet with a variety of yogurt, granola, berries and of course cinnamon. Their pastries are good-loved the almond croissant and they have some very good smoothies. My favorite was the tropicana that had orange juice, mango and pineapple. Unfortunately one morning I went back and they were out of orange juice. They have salads and sandwiches/wraps also. They close at 5:30 on weekdays, are open from 9 to 3 on Saturday and closed on Sunday. read more

I'm visiting Dublin from the States and I found this little cafe through Yelp! It was walking distance from my hotel (Ashling Hotel) and had a great assortment for breakfast. I went with the bacon and toast - simple for my first morning in Dublin. But If I had more time (and a bigger stomach) I would have also tried the porridge, cinnamon roll, panini, and a bagel. It all looked and smelled delicious. I will recommend the Cinnamon Cafe to anyone I know who visits Dublin. read more

I went in for lunch with my family. I ordered the meatball pitta which I understand was to come out hot. When it did come however it was barely luke warm. The portion of food was tiny. There was three small meatballs in the pitta served with a few salad leaves. The food tasted okay however it was disappointing that it was practically cold. The quality of food I was served did not really justify the six or so euro I paid for it. read more

It's hard to find it open but it worth the investigation. Excellent coffee and hot chocolate. Perfect drink supplier to sit in the public banks on a sunny day. read more

I often work nearby and have frequented this café for years as the area was pretty much a culinary wasteland, but now Smithfield is really on an upward curve with new cafés seemingly opening on a weekly basis (which I'm delighted about) and I will never feel the need to return. The place is filthy - you just need look up at the ceiling fans, which clearly haven't been cleaned in years: they are covered in dust. Staff seem to spend most of their time outside smoking and throwing butts on the footpath. The ceiling and A/C units are yellow from grease. Speaking of grease, if you spend more than one minute in here, you'll need to have your clothes laundered as you'll smell as if you've spent the day manning a deep-fat fryer! There is inadequate ventilation. Customer service is non-existent, especially from the owner who is one of the surliest and rudest men I've ever encountered - hospitality is the wrong industry for this guy who has no issue aggressively reprimanding staff in front of customers. The menu is enormous (which in itself is a really bad sign, especially considering how tiny the kitchen is), but this is really an illusion. I estimate that 75% of the menu items are never available. Pretty much every different item is merely an iteration anyway. The only available eggs are scrambled - rubbery and from a microwave - they sit in a pool of liquid, which consequently makes the toast soggy. I really have no idea why this place is still so busy, now that there is an excellent café right next-door, another less than 100m away (which only does takeaway), and another on Haymarket. It's bewildering. read more

A cute coffee/tea bar and cafe within close, easy walk of the Jameson Distillery and the four courts. Service was friendly and the fresh baked scones and handmade barista coffees were excellent. Happy we found it! read more

I love this place. Cosy, great, great coffee, not that usual tarry, rotgut stuff that certain chains like to sell. Muffins are awesome, esp the ones with bits of raspberry in them. Have never had lunch but looks great too. read more

Stopped here for breakfast before the Jameson Tour since it's right around the corner. We were just looking for something close, and I'm so happy we found this gem! I kept it simple with scrambled eggs and toast and a cup of coffee. Their coffee was delicious as was the food. My mom, however got a croissant with bacon and maple syrup and oh goodness was it fantastic. Definitely worth the stop in if you're in the area! Helpful staff, great atmosphere, delicious food. You can't go wrong. read more

The Cinnamon Cafe beats Christophe's hands down as the nicest cafe Smithfield. They have three massive vats of handmade soups to choose from which change daily (there's always at least one veggie option, and a meat stew like spicy mexican beef, mmmmm), and the blackboard mounted on the wall behind the till details the range of sandwiches, wraps and bagels that are available to eat-in or takeaway. The salads, which are 100% vegan, are provided by the excellent Blazing Salads company. The Cinnamon is ALWAYS packed during peak hours, and the tables are so tightly packed in that you may end up sharing your elbow room with a wigged barrister from the Courts around the corner, but the atmosphere is unfussy and relaxed despite the high profile clientele. read more

We luncheoned here on a random weekday at the rush time. I did have a sandwich which was particularly good, which should warrant a higher rating, but the service is so very slow. Unnecessarily slow, and inefficient, to the point that even the lunchtime rush didn't warrant the queue that was forming. I'm guessing if you're in the area you trade off the quality of the food with the inevitable queue. read more

I like selections of soups.They have 2 with meat and 2 vegetarian every day.That's go with bread,butter and some fruits.Nice place:)

Dropped in for breakie... Had a lovely relaxing breakie. Great selection of food... spoiled for choice I decided on the Kilbegan porridge oats with Apple and cinnamon truly delish... followed by a great flat white... McCabes. staff will defo be back :-) read more

I love this place, I must get food in here about five times a week at this stage. It's just simple, well made food without pretension and their coffee is second to none. My only bad comment is that the seating is a little uncomfortable and I wish they opened later in the evening. read more

Really nice small cafe, the coffee is excellent, the design of the shop and products is beautiful and the staff are lovely.

Not mad about this place. coffee is ok. service is ok, but depends who is on the till. Ordered a mocha but what i got was not a mocha. Ive tried a few of the deserts theyre also ok but nothing amazing. Ive been here a few times and sometimes its grand, othertimes the cakes are dry and they mess up your coffee. i get the feeling people who work here hate their jobs.... service isnt bad per se, just the staff generally seem unhappy. read more

Always packed because the food is half decent but somehow I think people go there because it is handy and they don't venture up the square. The one thing that puts me off this place is the attitude of the owner who thinks nothing of berating staff in front of customers and seems to have an all round basic lack of customer service. read more

We went here for breakfast and got the porridge, and it was so good! the portion was huge, so you definitely get a lot for your money. Everything they brought to the other customers looked amazing and the pastries smelled and looked so good! I'll definitely go back whenever I can read more

Good atmosphere and great food!!! I had an amazing banana and berries smoothie and a ham and swiss cheese croissant ( big and delicious)! Highly recommended read more
