Tiny little shop with a decent variety of breakfast options. Many of the items seemed somewhat unique and carefully crafted. Tasty enough. Savage Sausage Roll: A whole lot of meat in this! Some of the fat drips into the pastry dough, making it extremely rich and yummy. A hearty start to the day. Cranberry White Chocolate Flapjack: Kinda like a granola bar meets a big spread of caramel. Definitely loving the combo of crunchy and smooth. Peanut Butter Flapjack Cup: Thought the peanut butter flavor granola, with some chocolate disc on top, was pretty nice too. Love pairing something healthy with something not. Pain Au Chocolate: Flaky and chocolatey, it did the trick. Not the flakiest, but that's ok. read more

Nearly passed this place by but the chalk board outside had on it "Bacon Buttie!" There was no way I was going any further until I had a bacon buttie. Went in and asked for my bacon buttie only to be told. We only do them for breakfast (stops at 11)!!! Oh come on! Take your breakfast board in after 11 and put out your lunch board! So after the devastating news I spotted that they did gourmet sausage rolls. Yum. I'll have one of those. I ordered a sage and rosemary sausage roll. The sausage meat itself was really nice but as we all know pastry does not fare well in the microwave. This cafe is on the corner of a busy junction and you can sit at the window facing the world (great for people watching). There is also some out door seating. read more

Lolly & Cooks have a great breakfast, lunch and supper menu which changes quite often but I find that the food is always tasty and filling. It's open pretty late on weekdays from Mon-Thurs and has a really nice seating area upstairs and outside, so I've come here for coffee and to study on a few occasions in the evening. However it's quite small and cramped inside even upstairs. Lunch time around 1pm on weekdays are jam packed with a massive queue from all the people that work around here as it is in the middle of multiple big company buildings, but weekends and early or late afternoon are more quiet. The coffee is pretty nice, and for dinner once I had a Dijon salmon dish with 2 salads which was really tasty. I've also tried their Kale vegetable juice which might not be for everyone as it's pretty strong but it gives you a real kick! Also, it's cheaper to take out and they have pre-packed sandwiches for anyone in a rush or prefers something simple, and if you like cakes they seem to have a lot of tasty looking cupcakes and sweet stuff here which I've yet to try! The staff are very friendly and the prices are not bad either; You can dine for ~ €10 and the coffee was around €2.75. The service is also pretty quick and they have free Wifi (they give you the password when you order of you ask). Just to note, the opening times on Yelp for the Grand Canal branch are actually incorrect as I was surprised that they close early at 6pm on Friday 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. It's only from Monday to Thursday that they are open from 7:30am to 10pm. read more

This Lolly & Cooks out of all of them (and I do like all of them!!) is the best for comfort and location I feel. Super coffee, a great selection of cupcakes, various brownies etc and the best sausage rolls in Dublin (by a long shot) This with a nice upstairs eating area or loads of room to nibble outside makes it a perfect little spot close to Bord Gais!! read more

I love how this place is open late and it's great for people getting off work. There's a lot of seating upstairs if you're eating in. There's loads of dinner selections but it is a bit pricey in my opinion. I feel like the desserts are just almost there - they're nothing to write home about although there's so many options available. I feel the same about most of the pastries here... Coffee is decent and they have a few tea choices to choose from. read more

I'm not a fan of actually sitting inside and eating, so if its warm out, I sit outside, or I just do take away. Its too cramped and uncomfortable :( Anyway, the food is awesome. The salads aren't really my thing, but everything else is!!! The sausage rolls are to die for. They used to do a massive red velvet cake, but haven't seen that around in a bit. Shame.. I love all the cupcakes. The raspberry and coconut is a new addiction of mine. I'd eat 10 a day if I could. They stay open later than most places, so you can actually pop down for a coffee and dessert after you've had your own dinner at home. I love that!! read more

We went to Lolly and Cooks on a mission to find a great dessert (on the recommendation of someone's blog post). We arrived only 15 minutes before closing, but the gentlemen working at the time were very accommodating. We ordered the caramel brownie, at it as fast as we could, and it was literally the most delicious brownie I've ever had. I cannot not stop thinking about it, and I would die fat and happy if I could eat it every day. Go to Lolly and Cooks, order a caramel brownie. You won't be disappointed. read more

New small place in the Grand Canal Dock. We were drawn by a free mini cupcake promotion. The coffee is very good, also the soy milk cappuccino. Cupcakes are tasty, but quite expensive, if they weren't free, I would never buy them. However, the chocolate croissants are very good, not too buttery, for a fair price. Atmosphere is relaxed, especially on the second floor. Staff very nice and helpful. Free WiFi, just ask for the password. I wish they had more gluten free and vegan options to offer! read more

This little coffee shop is so good. I usually go there in the morning for a quick breakfast. They have really nice pastries, delicious scones and some savoury muffins. The coffee is really good, definitely recommended. I like sitting by the window or upstairs on the counter tables. They make delicious cupcakes. I don't usually like cupcakes but for once they taste as good as they look. The staff are ridiculously friendly, each and every one. Love this place! read more

Picked up a cranberry savage roll and one of the quiches for an airport snack and was very pleased. The savage roll was for me and I found it quite tasty. The sausage had a nice flavor and the cranberries complemented it without being too overpoweringly sweet. The quiche was for my sister and was feta and sundried tomato I believe. She really enjoyed it, too. read more

Every day I have dilemma on where to go for my morning coffee. Today I decided for a lolly and cooks. I asked for a single shot soy latte. And I really enjoyed. Usually the coffee in here have very strong taste, when you ask for a weaker option barista ( the really nice gentleman with few piercings) make sure it's not too strong. Appreciate! read more

I really feel that the pricing needs to be record here. Take out espresso is €1.50 and €2.10 for a double yet an extra shot is 40cent. So what if I asked for a single espresso with and extra shot... Take out...€1.90 crazy crazy. Bit messy. Great selection of cakes and breakfast stuffs. Really like the design of the place. read more

Lovely place, nice coffee, friendly staff with good taste for music. I like to work there when I'm in Dublin, since they have a strong wifi signal and a cosy space upstairs. The only downside is that they don't prepare much food over there: food is prepared and they heat it up as you order. It seems to be normal in some cafés in Dublin. I don't generally like to pay for re-heated food, but I must admit the one there tasted fresh. read more

Lolly & Cook's do great bakes - I'm a big fan of their cupcakes and other sweet treats. The Tunisian orange cake that I had on my last visit was unbelievably moist and light and packed an intensely citrusy punch, while the chocolate icing on top added a depth of sweetness and richness that balanced out the sharpness of the orange perfectly. Their coffee wouldn't be up there on my list of greats but it does the job and the delicious cakes more than make up for its mediocrity. The sausage rolls look incredible too so I'll have to make sure to try one on my next visit! read more

First of all, the sausage rolls are not as good as everyone makes them out to be. I'm somewhat of a sausage roll aficionado and these were the worst ones I have ever had (and the most expensive too). The sausage to pastry ratio was all wrong. It was like a gigantic meatball with a ultra-paper-thin pasty crust. The pasty crust was also one of the worst I have ever had. To make matters even worse, they call them "savage" rolls and will correct you if you ask for a sausage roll. They won't even say the term "sausage rolls." Absurdity. I'd call them "savagely bad" rolls anyways. Moving on to the lunch, the focaccio chicken sandwiches were quite disappointing. The chicken was gray colored, the roasted vegetables tasted funky, the sauce was bad, and the filling to sandwich ratio was off as well (1" filling to 5" bread). Even the side salad tasted bad! The only redeeming grace of this place was that a woman working there kindly offered up her seat to myself and my girlfriend. But hey, this is a food review site and the high rating that this place currently has is undeserved. read more

I usually visit Lolly and Cooks for breakfast/lunch over the weekends. They make really good Sausage Rolls, Scone, and Quiche. The Sandwiches are nice, but nothing to write home about. I also happen to like their coffee; it takes awhile to grow into (esp. the Americanos can come off too strong), but are essentially very good. read more

Great place for cakes and coffees. They are famous for their sausage rolls, so make sure to grab one to go before you leave this place it will come in handy later whether you have to fight of hunger or make new friends. read more

Lolly and Cooks is a very welcome addition to the Grand Canal Square cafe and restaurant scene. It's tucked away on Forbes Street, part of the Market Hotel Complex, across the street from the side entrance to Ely's. I've been twice now, once for lunch and once for an early brunch, and loved the food both times. (I've also been to their smaller "stand" in George's Street Arcade.) We sat upstairs in the cafe. Lunch was a delicious chicken sandwich on brown bread with a very tasty basil pesto, and several small servings of a variety of salads, so generous in fact that I wrapped up half my sandwich to save for later. For brunch (the very next day), I had the smokies and my friend had baked eggs with chorizo. Both were delish. Highly recommended for the food! read more

Enjoyed a lunch here on a Sunday. The place is small, but upstairs is really cute. We had a good coffee and tea. We ate the toasted focaccia's and they were really nice. They could not remove the tomato, becaise arrive at prepared. Seems fairly easy to remove 4 slices if tomato before toastibg it, but had to remove them myself once served. Luckily staff was quick and friendly and taste of the food was good! Would like to come back and enjoy the toasted sandwiches during the weekdays. read more

Super friendly staff and they loved my mini schnauzer which is always a bonus in my eyes! Tasty, fresh food and good coffee. Welcome addition to Grand Canal. read more

I love this place. I visit them every day on my way to work for my daily dose of their amazing flat white. Their breakfast combo (coffee +pastry) is great value for money if you need something light in the morning - try the sundried tomato and olive muffin, delicious. Without any doubt, one of the best spots in Grand Canal! read more

The food is really good here with a nice selection of soups and salads. The staff can be a bit all over the place sometimes, just leaving you stand there for lengths of time and sometimes come across very abrupt in manner. Overall a good place to grab some lunch if you work near by. read more

I had to get some cupcakes for a special occasion on super short notice. I was told they don't do custom cupcakes but would do their best with the decorations - when I came for pickup the next day my cupcakes were ready and waiting, nicely boxed up and really pretty looking. Mostly though they were delicious, I find that cupcakes can be dry but these are absolutely melt in your mouth yummy and the frosting is incredible! read more

Everything I've tried here has been so nice! The fish chowder with mash and the mushroom salad are two of my favorites. Didn't care too much for the focaccia. The pastries also look delicious and are so tempting! read more

Wonderful place to spend a rainy morning! We sat up in the second floor dining area to have scones and coffee and read for a while. The huge Windows let in so much light. The brown and orange scone was perfect. The best scone I've had on this trip. The quiche is also great! read more

Whether you fancy a java jolt, sugar fix or homemade grub, Lolly & Cooks is your spot. Stayed at the stylish Marker Hotel and visited L&C several times. Who needs overpriced breakfast spreads when you have the convenience of casual gourmet goodness around the corner! I highly recommend the quiche, baked eggs, veg sides and the lattes, which are enough to make you bolt out of bed after a rollicking Dublin pub crawl! read more

We were originally looking for breakfast but they were serving lunch at the time. My husband had the Savage Roll, a pork sausage flavored with herbs wrapped in a pastry...delicious! I went for the Ham focaccia and it was amazing. The service was fantastic and we would definitely come back! read more

Had lunch here with my sister here two days ago. We'd heard good things about it and my sister works nearby so we decided to go. Their menu looked really good. Lots of soups, salads and sandwiches. However they had no gluten free bread so (because I am intolerant) I couldn't eat anything on their menu except the soup. They gave me a choice of 2 soups and I asked for one of them with a selection of salads. My sister ordered a sausage roll also with a selection of salads. We both also asked for a diet coke but it turns out they don't do diet coke. The waitress presented us with a drinks menu but most of the things on this menu they apparently no longer supplied. About ten minutes later I was told by the waitress that none of their salads were gluten free bar the mixed leaf salad, so I said I would only have that one. Ten minutes later again she came out and told me that they had run out of the soup that I wanted and that they'd have to give me a different one. A while later again they arrived back at the table telling my sister that they were all of the sausage roll she wanted and that they didn't have much salad left for her salad plate. (I don't know why there was such a gap between them finding out all of these things.) Eventually we were given our food (which wasn't too bad) and paid and left. I would not go back here again. I understand that it is normal for Cafés to run out of things but I thought that it was too much for one day and was not handled very well. Also you really shouldn't have things on your menu that you no longer supply. I would also warn all Coeliacs that they have no gluten free foods. Not even their salads. Overall, very disappointing. read more
