The Cracked Nut really has the code cracked for a solid casual dining experience. I wasn't sure which choice of delish sambo-combos I wanted, so the lovely girl behind the counter let me make my very own sambo-combo combo.. and good god was it sensational. I have nine words for you people; smoked-salmon-with-roasted-pear-and-goats-cheese-salad sandwich. Do it. Relish it. Smother it. Savour it. The staff were great, the food was great, the only slightly negative comment I have to make is that there wasn't really enough seating (and I'm not a fan of sharing a big table with other people, but that might just be my problem).

Matcha coconut green tea latte with almond milk ;-)

Absolutely love discovering top notch places to go in Dublin and this my friends is TOP NOTCH! Situated on Camden St, it's everything cool and hipster ye need! Cute seating inside and some outdoor seating when the sun decides to shine on us dear dubliners... Line up of some super fresh organic and free range ingredients making up some amazing salad, sandwich and soup options and hey the coffee counter has everything you want of a barista, so ye got your regular options of coffee coupled with teas and the new must have drink, matcha green tea latte - OMHoliness! Thumbs up peeps... Get yourselves skipping here asap

Very cute and friendly place that I visited for lunch today in Dublin. Places that have a good variety of healthy options are never a bad thing in my book as it gives you that moment of feeling pleased with yourself amongst and load of Guinness and fast food guilt while getting involved with the local scene here ;) I had the salad bar option which was a selection of mixed salads and rice dishes served with a range of dressings which came with a cup of pea and mint soup. The salad was the star for me, it was fresh and really flavourful and did not feel at all boring which some salads can suffer from. Shout out to the caesar dressing which seemed home made and really amazing. The prices here seem decent, the vibe is cool a the the staff are smiley and up beat. A great afternoon lunch spot o can recommend especially for those on a health kick.

Oh the amazing smell of good food that hits you when you walk in here is intoxicating. They have lovely healthy food and drinks for sale along there walls including the now trendy Matcha as well as other lovely teas. There salad and sandwich display is so tempting, but that is all too healthy for me, what I come here for is their excellent coffee. Umm, it is good and cheap only 2euro for a good sized to go cup. But it is nearly impossible to resist the sweet tempting goodies they have conveniently placed by the coffee counter. Their scones are some of the best I have tried, and again, I have tried a lot, their apple cinnamon scone is a particular favourite and they have been doing an early morning coffee and scone/cake deal for 3euro. Bargain! This is the best place to pop in for a lovely treat or something a bit more virtuous if you are that way inclined. Next time I am in I am going to try one of their delicious looking and sounding soups and artisan bread. Just what is needed this weather!

Coconut Matcha almond latte... Yum!!
Joelle F.

Super impressed with this place, i never knew a place like this existed in town. The offer a wide variety of milks from soya, skimmed and even almond. I opted for a coconut matcha almond latte.. Wow! The staff were great and super helpful. The salads looks delish, I'll be heading there for lunch shortly to try them out. I headed down at lunch time and the place was jammed! Always a good sign! Definitely my new favourite coffee house!

BLT Ciabatta
Kate D.

This is the perfect place to grab a healthy lunch in clean, minimal surroundings and for reasonable prices! I got the pre-made BLT ciabatta and had it toasted. As far as "BLT" goes it's a bit of a stretch, it's really more of a gammon & greens & relish sandwich, but it was delicious nonetheless! There are nice seats outside when it's sunny and it's nice and cool inside with a few tables and bar seats around. There's also a random selection of teas and essential oils should that take your fancy. The selection of sweets at the counter is hard to resist as someone below mentioned, and I tried some of the lemon drizzle cake. It was perfectly lemony and not too sweet but the cake was a little dry for my liking. Still an enjoyable lunch overall.

My tuna sandwich) great colourful plates and cups for hot drinks )
Yelena G.

My new place for lunch :) it's nice, I can actually say Eco friendly place with relaxing music, and cozy atmosphere. Tell the truth I was little confusing with menu. Don't get me wrong I like this place and would come here again. Just was confusing with timing. I would love try their scone and coffee for €3,50 until 11am or home made juice for €3,20 small bottle and large for €5,95. I've got sandwich for €5,90. Tuna with onions, eggs, salad leaves. I like their shelves with Eco friendly products like shampoo or candles, tea, honey and some other stuff.

Soup and salat
Christina H.

Wow what a lovely little place! And they serve yummy food too:-) I love the blue walls, the tiny tables, the big windows and the cute wooden shelfs filled with delicious treats like teas and chocolates. I had a delicious tomato soup and a big salad. You can chose from the salad bar and simply fill your plate and the salads are really amazing. I also had the spicy chai latte which could have been a bit more spicy but all in all I had a lovely stay and can definitely recommend coming here for a healthy, delicious and easy meal!

Raw chocolate cake
Annie S.

Finally made it into here today, was dying to check them out . As I did not have that much time today I went for the take away option but while scanning the shop defo will be back for a sit down meal soon. As I had a matcha latte earlier on today I continued my going green food theme for the day and ordered a cup of their spinach kale soup and a little match orange raw ball to go along. I loved seeing that almost all their sweet treat were GF and vegan friendly, defo big plus on my behalf and I still cant stop thinking about this amazing tempting looking vegan chocolate raspberry cake which is stuck on my mind ever since I left the shop in the afternoon..

After doing some online research for affordable breakfast places, we decided to visit Cracked Nut. It was a relatively small, hipster and pleasant little cafe. We were given a jug of cucumber infused water and two glasses upon arrival which was nice. Their menu is fairly simple and their sandwiches are on display by the cashier (which allows you to see what the sandwich is composed of - you can choose to grab the one you see displaced or get the same wrapped sandwich in the refrigerator). They also have free wifi, just ask for the password. I ordered avocado toast with poached eggs (about 8 euro) and added salmon (+ about 2 euro) as well as a latte (about 3.5 euro). The toast was absolutely delicious and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of smoked salmon they gave me (it didn't look like a lot but it was a good amount). The latte was also very good. After eating we ordered a scone which came with butter and mix berry jam which was scrumptious. We sat there for a while after finishing our food and nobody bothered us to leave - the service was very relaxed. I definitely recommend this place, great for breakfast or even for getting work done while sipping on a delicious cup of coffee.

Lovely window seat!

On a bright, sunny day in the city, I headed to Cracked Nut. After barely an introduction and a confusing greeting, I sat down. 'Hi! (Sees people cleaning and the place relatively empty) are you still open?' 'Yes' 'OK....can I sit down' 'yes' 'OK. Are you still serving food?' 'No' I decide to just put my stuff down at a table and then go back up to the counter since the place wasn't closing and the back and forth was making my stuff even heavier. Good news - they were still serving coffee so I order a flat white and a berry Danish. A nice Danish and a nice enough flat white. It's a great spot for people watching and decent for a quick snack!

Great and cool environment

A short walk from the Trinity College Campus sits a triangular, brick and mortar (literally)…read moretriangular "NY Style (sandwich) Deli". With just a few small tables and chairs outside, the standing room only interior is a picture of economy. These were my first impressions as customers steadily streamed inside to place orders and then leave to wait for their sandwich or sit a bit. My eyes locked into the pastrami melt sandwich on the menu and I waited my turn, albeit a bit nervously, to place my order with one of the three gents who were slinging the sandwiches. All the ingredients in the deli case looked fresh, from the lettuce, meats, cheese, etc, to the types of bead on top of the case, like the focaccia. Each sandwich is made fresh, and once assembled, is pressed to warm the roll and melt the cheese. My pastrami melt arrived loaded with the meat, and all the ingredients enhanced by the deli mustard made for a great tasting sandwich. It's probably the best pastrami sandwich I've tasted in a long while. Every employee was patient and helpful, and I found this to be quite an effort since customers kept placing orders without much of a break. The Pig & Heifer is definitely worth a repeat visit.

If you're dining in, you order at the counter and get a table number to place wherever you decide to sit. There's plenty of seating inside which is a plus. What I got: -Potato danish- savory; slight salty, crispy flakey layers. -Sausage roll- slightly salty for my preference, but has a very crispy crust and a meaty sausage in the middle. We went back a second time on our trip and got a few more pastries, all of which were very delicious. The pastries were hot, flakey, glistening, delicate, and perfectly sweet on both visits. I would definitely come back if I were to visit Dublin again.

I didn't wait more than 5/10 minutes. I grabbed a couple of different things for us to try -- the focaccia, morning bun, salted caramel roll, and the cinnamon roll. My favorite was easily the focaccia, which could compete with the best I had in Italy -- so good. The morning bun was good, but nothing crazy exciting. The salted caramel roll had to be the least caramel-y caramel roll I've ever had, but it didn't taste bad and the salted part was interesting (in a good way!). The Cinnamon roll was unique, which I appreciate. It had a big glob of cream cheese frosting (too much for me, but I imagine it would float a lot of folks' boats) and some orange flavoring! I quite liked the orange. I wanted to get a matcha to go, but they said they didn't have disposable cups. You could buy a 5 euro reusable one and then if you brought it back you'd get a refund... interesting, but I was leaving that day and wouldn't be back in the area. I can't speak to the ambiance because we were in and out, but it looked like they had a decent amount of space. All in all, I would recommend this place! For me it was a 4, but I'm sure for some it would bop up to a 5.

Outside was as mess, there were no chairs at some tables and other had to many with dirty dishes on them. So we decided to go in. There was no hostess nor any wait staff so we stood there like stooges. Finally ,two of the wait staff walked right by and just ignored us so we decided to take a seat. Now they want to come talk to us! I asked if this seat was ok and got the reply "I guess it will have to be as you already sat down". Should have got up then but the wife was tired so decided to stay. It was crazy warm in there with little air flow. I liked the atmosphere and ambience. Guess they wanted to make a point as we sat there for 15 mins without water or anybody coming by. Had to flag down what appeared to be a bus boy to get water. Finally had order taken by male bus boy who seemed he wanted to be anywhere else and said "I am waiting". We ordered two "specials" and the bœuf bourguignon. Two separate couples came in and were served before we received our food. So hard to eat as it was 80-85 degrees in there. The beef was good and would recommend. The two specials were chicken and very very dry. To wrap it up we had to hunt down the wait staff to get the ticket as they actively avoided eye contact. Fairly expensive for just ok food and horrible service. Customer service is not hard. A "Welcome" or "Glad you came in" goes a long way.
