Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Why don't more people from Celbridge come here?! I don't get it! Maybe…read morebecause you can't access it from the main street in your car any more?! If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

I'm not fan of french fries but these were lovely, crunchy, home made taste... :D To finish I had to have a cappuccino... And yes!!! I certify it! Stamp it, 5 stars...

I can't put into words how good the coffee is, in the same league as 3FE or Fixx. I suppose the only downside is the size, there's only about ten seats in the place.

So Tillies makes me very sad, but also very happy! It seems the masses of Clontarf do be in and out of here all day and everyone is really friendly. I was here recently for a chin-wag with an old friend and we enjoyed our 90 minutes or so in the bright, bustling surroundings. We each had a cappuccino and a scone. The cappuccino was decent. Not too milky - just how like it. The scone was a wee bit dry but good all the same, served with cream and jam -my favourite! The staff were lovely, very friendly having chats with customers (everybody knows everybody so of course they are!) and just being generally smiley, which makes the cafe quite cheerful.

The coffee was strong, tasty and not over-roasted. Too many coffees are over-roasted. The foam wasn't the silkiest I've ever had but it was decent - I was expecting to be blown away by the foam since they advertise their barista awards outside the café (although some of the awards are for latte art, and mine had no art - wah!). I'm also giving them 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact. To-go drinks are delivered with no lid, encouraging customers to forgo the plastic. Soy and almond milk are available. Their beans are for sale in paper-based bags and they also sell them in 1 Kg sizes, reducing packaging a little. Most food on display (including sandwiches) is packaging-free (my current pet peeve is sandwiches in plastic clamshells). Along with their house blend they also offer a single-origin coffee, which changes every few months. Their Harcourt Rd. branch has a Saturday brunch menu that includes organic porridge, free-range eggs, and simple vegetarian fare like avocado toast. The main thing I'd like to know about is their coffee sourcing - sustainability and fair pricing. Their website and coffee packages don't offer any info on this. Have contacted them - will update if they reply! Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me! (greenstarsproject)

The place has a great atmosphere. Comfy couches, a full bookshelf and tons of magazines and newspapers to pick from. The menu itself is delicious too. I really like the full Irish Breakfast. The portion is huge and I normally share it with my BF. On the site I order one of these delicious Granola cups (I can not get enough of them, but you have to come early to get one. They are popular and often sold out by the time I manage to crawl out of bed on a lazy Sunday morning). A nice cup of steaming hot peppermint tea in one hand, a newspaper in the other and the cup of heavenly fresh, crunchy, slightly sour but yet sweet Granola cup is the perfect start for a great Sunday =-).

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!

Since I don't eat red meat, I was very excited to see a vegetarian Irish breakfast option. I ordered this as well as a mocha latte. Despite the rain, my friend and I sat outside since all of the indoor seating was occupied. Thankfully some heaters provided warmth for what could've been a chilly breakfast. Very quickly the lattes came out which my friend and I sipped on. They were soooo cute, mine had the design of a little bear on top! The latte itself was hot and not too sweet, the perfect start to the experience. After a few short minutes, the food came out! Immediately, my friend and I dug in. It was honestly everything I expected and even more! There were no weak links on the plate and there were generous portions as well. I sat there for a while working my way through my delicious plate!! Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Beanhive. It was an aesthetic cafe that also provided a hearty breakfast. I would definitely recommend.
