So when we found the Boathouse Cafe at lunchtime, just as we were getting peckish... it made us two happy bunnies indeed. We both went for the soup of the day and shared a sausage roll. The sausage roll was your standard fare. But the soup was excellent, tomato and basil. And the slice of brown bread that came with it was also excellent. None of this sweet brown bread that a lot of places seem to be serving up with soup these days. We got a table outside where there was plenty of other cyclist parked up for lunch too. They know their market here, as there are a few bike racks provided. With our bellies full and are hearts warmed, we cycled away happy.

The two cakes were both WONDERFUL; I've never had anything else here but I can definitely vouch for the fact that they do an amazing job with citrus + cake. The lemon curd cake had a generous amount of lemon curd cream so the extra cream was unnecessary. Got a nonfat (skinny) cappuccino with my cake - the small size was more than enough! Yum!

The slight difference in culture when visiting tripped us up more than expected! I would call this place "hipster" but I think that would be an insult - it is a quaint and respectable joint that has delicious and healthy food. We had to try this place due to the proximity to where we were staying for our trip, so we stopped in when we had a free morning. The food we had was unexpected, but delicious. If you're from The States and are in the area, stop by!

Homemade, healthy, inspired, absolutely delish. - The tea - loose leaf, served in delicate vintage china and big burly but very cute knitted tea cosies. What I don't like: - Nothing. This place is deadly. Long may it reign!

One of my sons got the avocado toast. It was fine, though he did struggle to eat it since the avocado was sliced and slipped off the bread numerous times. Maybe adults know to mash it down for better results. My other son had the chicken wings. He didn't want to eat more than a few bites and had no interest in taking the leftovers home. The chips were fine. Probably the best item we ordered. I had a salad with figs and was excited for the fig part until it arrived with too much dressing and dried figs. I guess I was expecting fresh ones? Coffee was only decent.

A selection of cakes, Danishes, tarts, homemade dressings, take away meals and healthy food options. All made fresh daily in their kitchen in Bray. The pastries and breads are delivered into all of the 12 locations 2-3 times a day!!! Everything in the entire cafe is homemade! What a hidden gem and I don't want to keep it to myself. I was served by Lorraine who was knowledgeable about all of the baked goods that lined the shelves. She was so passionate about these cakes and treat that she had me very excited about them as well. It reminds me of bakeries that we have back at home which totally excited me. I love the fact that everything is made locally as I think it's so great to be able to support your local businesses. They have lovely coffees to go as well. They don't have any tables for you to enjoy your delicatessen in house but it's certainly worth taking away. Treats from The Butler's Pantry is bound to bring a smile to anyone's face. Oh and on Thursday-Sunday they have a selection of croissants, pan au raisins and pan au chocolate, etc. One word...YUM!

They do get busy at times, so if you're thinking you'd like to sit and eat here, be prepared for a wait at times, especially around 9:00. Worth the wait, though!

(Make an outing out of it, go there for your lunch and take it up to the Phoenix Park to eat it, then catch an afternoon screening in the Lighthouse Cinema, and grab some dinner in L Mulligan Grocer on Manner St. I am salivating at the thought....mmm....) So what can you find in this purty little spot? It's all about local folks! They stock Irish (and European) cheese and meats, handmade breads, fresh fruit and veges, freshly made sandwiches and pastries, olives, various other pickled schtuff and all the rest of those types of delish bits n bobs you won't find in your local supermarkets. The Lilliput Press is across the way as well if you want a little read. I just wish they had more seating in here, but I guess that may take away some of the tiny shop charm of the place. Maybe in the summer they could stick some tables outside (perhaps they do this already - anyone know?!!) Either way, it's a fanfreakingbrilliantastic place to have a gander in and get noshed up.

It's call Lilliput for two reasons, one as a homage to Lilliput press that is in the area and the other reason because for such a tiny shop, it really squeezes a lot in. It has a range of regular and artisan products. Cheeses from around the country, artisan breads, olives from Morocco, lots of wines and delicious sandwiches to go. A coffee will set you back the princely sum of €1.50. There are seats built into the shop front so you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The girl I was chatting with was a pure doll, she recommended a few local events to me, I really appreciate when people know the community they work in and are welcoming like they are here.
