Best flat white in Dublin city centre, hands down. I stopped into Shoe Lane Coffee on Tara Street…read moreand the coffee was seriously good smooth, strong, and properly balanced. You can tell they actually care about the beans and calibration, not just blasting out caffeine to half-awake commuters. The atmosphere is what makes the place though. Busy in a good way, great music, warm lighting, and the staff somehow stay friendly even during the morning rush. Had a brownie with the coffee and it was unreal.

Three lovely baristas took my order and while I was disappointed that there wasn't a toastie or other hot breakfast available, I made do with a massive pain au chocolat. The flat white that was made to order was perfection. Rich, creamy and enough caffeine to get me to my AirBNB after a Transatlantic red-eye. And delicious. I sat with my breakfast looking out the shop's front window for a bit, watching the pedestrians and buses go by before heading to the train station.

If you're from the states, do yourself a favor and try these because the ingredients are far superior to anything you would find back home. I'll definitely be back tomorrow for more. The iced coffee was pretty good too. They have little tables to enjoy your donuts but we took them back to hotel. Service was standard.

My wife and I were just strolling down the main street when we saw The Hot Donut. There are…read moremultiple donut shops in town but this one was close, convenient and looked GREAT. It's a small shop, like very small shop so seating is more than extremely limited. That was OK since I knew we would be walking away eating. It's also fun to watch them making donuts right behind the glass in the store. Since there are not to many people inside at any one time and two people behind the counter they are very attentive. I also had a specialty coffee which they make on the spot. There is a great selection of fresh and delicious speciality doughnuts and a "Donut of the day" but we were too late for that. We left and continued our walk only to stop for a minute and use a pail as our table. These donuts are good.... I mean really good. Our need for sweet was satisfied and later I was disappointed that I did not bring back a few more to take on the ship with me. They had so many flavors and styles. Stop in if you're in the area.

I've been here several times with my boyfriend during our lunch hour, or first thing Saturday morning for a breakfast roll and a cuppa tea for €6.....admittedly we always ask for an extra sausage....so yummy! :) They serve breakfast rolls, sandwiches, and a full Irish breakfast all day but they also have other lunch options too :) The couple working there are very friendly and remember us each time we go in.....we don't even need to look at the menu now as they remember our order too :)

So after a bit of a rough night out I woke up with a hangover and was looking for a nice long day…read morein bed. Until it hit me, shoot I'm supposed to meet my friend midday. Ugh what was I thinking? My friend lives out in North Dublin and I live the other way, so we'd agreed to meet somewhere halfway between. The only place I could think of was the Kylemore and that was not really where I wanted to be with a hangover! After a bit of research I discovered there was a nice greasy spoon on Talbot Street. The food was perfect and the fry up soaked up the booze left in my stomach and a nice warm cup of coffee quickly brightened my head. Definitely worth it, though like Dani pointed out it's not convenient to most people stuck at home in their beds nursing a hangover!

If there is one thing I can always eat it's a full Irish, well ok and carrot cake and any other…read moretype of cake. I'd heard that the Pantry on Talbot Street was a good place for a fry-up so I decided to give it a shot so I could report back to you. The pantry looks very light and modern, a bit like a French bistro. The staff are friendly and know how to make a good cup of coffee and well, the fry-up is indeed very good. Nice and greasy- exactly the way it should be. The rashers were nice and crispy and the toast nearly perfect. So why am I only giving 3 stars? Well, I know where I can get the same just a wee bit cheaper and closer to home. Having said that, the Pantry is worth checking out if you're in the IFSC or near Connolly station.

"Ah howye luv, yer usual brekkie roll is it?"…read more "Yes please! I'm like a box of Lego. I'm in BITS!" "Late night?" "Yes! You better give me a turnover for tomorrow too, I feel a 2 day hangover approaching!" This is a real old Dublin bakery. The women that work here are real Dubs and I am sure if someone looked sideways at me they'd have my back! They say real Dublin Mammy things to ya. They're deadly! This place is tinchy tiny. The bread is top notch. As the lady who works here said to me before...... "None of that Cuisine De France shite in here luv" A real proper crusty roll for your lunch. I used to live around the corner from here and every Saturday morning I would get my brekkie roll (pictured above). The deli counter is very small and the sausages and rashers are out of a vacuum pack. I'm here for the bread, not the rashers and sausages so it does the trick. The rest of the fillings are much better than that, nice and fresh and really good coleslaw. The turnovers are my favourite (as well as the crusty rolls). I don't have a sweet tooth so the only time I would have any cakes from here is if we got one in the office for someone's birthday. Everyone in my office raves about the cakes however. If you're in town of a Saturday doing some shopping Northside then I would highly recommend you brave the nasty street that is Talbot Street and get some bread for your brekkie on Sunday morning. Totes amazeballs!
