Extremely disappointing. Quaint little restaurant but food & service not good. Went in Saturday morning with a reservation only 3 tables were occupied but it took 7 min to be seated. I ordered eggs Florentine but got eggs Benedict instead. English muffin was not toasted, ham too thick & roasted potatoes very sad. Nicest part of the meal was the salad dressing. By the time waiter returned it was too late to reorder. Did not get a second coffee because no waiter came back even though we said we would have another in 5 min. They did not change for my order which was good but a could not care attitude from the owner. read more

Very nice little café in Terenure. We have been for breakfast the eggs Benedict are fantastic. Good coffee tea and homemade cakes. Service can be a little bit slow because they are usually so busy. But the staff is nice. you can sit outside if the weather permits and they have indoor seating. Good place to energize with caffeine and sugar. read more

Fantastic little restaurant/coffee shop. Used to have a deli counter but thats hidden away now. Still does take away food&coffee. We've probably spent a ridiculous amount of money in here since it opened. I'd highly recommend the breakfast pie. The coffee is good. Caesar salad salad is amazing .. I could go on and on. Tends to be packed at the weekends so definitely best to call ahead. read more

Was really looking forward to a brunch catch up here recently but it was a bit of a let down alas. So I'm still in search of the best brunch in terenure/churchtown. Nice coffee, nice vibe all the same. I ordered french toast with Bacon- bacon was either not freshly cooked or kept warm for ages, and it was very very chewy. When I asked for freshly squeezed orange juice ( a brunch essential in my mind) and asked the waitress if it was squeezed on site ( i.e. not out of a carton). It took ages to arrive and I noted it was poured discreetly from a bottle. Grrrrrrrr. Were they thinking I wouldn't notice?! Anyway, was with a gang of friends so loathe to complain but we all felt the same about the food- fine but not a treat in our view. But I guess we're a fussy bunch. With a little bit more attention to detail on the food side this could be a great cafe. read more

You gotta get to this place! A true example of how it should be done. Full of style, great atmosphere and of course - incredible treats. read more

On a weekend, rain or shine, I love coming here for a late brunch. The decor could be described as the precursor to Avoca, with the addition of an occasionally played piano as a source of entertainment. Occupied by youthful twenty-somethings, budding families, and established groups of auld ones alike, I like the community vibe and general approachability of the place (though, that being said, the place can get a bit loud - just a forewarning). The food & drink is lovely - super-fresh orange juice (which can hence run out if you're there later in the afternoon, sigh), decent coffee, & so far I've been pleased with everything I've tried (that being the eggs benedict, breakfast in a pie, and their chicken tarragon bagel sandwich with their soup of the day). Prices are middle-of-the-road - for the two of us both getting food, orange juice, & coffee the bill tends to be just under €30. I also went here on Halloween for one of their late-night gigs that they occasionally host, and while it definitely doesn't have the best acoustics for a music venue, it was enjoyable. If you're a bit out in the Southside, give it a go if this sounds like your kind of thing. read more

Great little Cafe in Terenure which I happened by by accident. It was originally a butchers and has been very cleverly transformed into an artisan eatery. It has a simple tasty and good value lunch menu and I have also heard it does and evening menu with live theatre! Great coffee and it is going on the future brunch list read more

Really love this place. Good food. I had the chicken sandwich a brownie and the pink lemonade. Yum!! Nice relaxed atmosphere too. Can get busy at times but I like the mix of people old and young , locals and those who make the trip out to it. Looking forward to visiting when the suns out and getting to enjoy the outside seating. read more

Great little cafe with a gorgeous outdoor seating area so if it is in anyway sunny its defo a great spot to stop off in be sure to bring the sunnies tho other wise youl end up squinting the whole meal like me ! ive gotten the eggs Benedict and the French toast , the Benedict is good but the french toast is amazing it comes with a berry compote Ive been here 3 times and the let down for the place seems to be the staff, Ive found them a bit cold when asking for drinks or the bill you kind get to feeling like your interrupting them. read more

Came to Union Square at Mayfield with my 'partner in crime' on a Saturday. It was pretty busy so when greeted, by what seemed to be the owner/manager, we were left standing at the door for 5 minutes or so. The reception space doesn't give a great first impression, it was a brisk autumn morning and we were left waiting literally just inside the door with people coming and going. When seated we were given a table near the door that had been free all the time. For the remainder of our stay I could see that this was common practice (leaving patrons waiting at the door when there were tables they could be sat at) ... pet peeve and could easily be remedied to give a greater first impression. When seated we were each given a menu and a drinks/cakes menu for the table. On discussion with my partner about what plates to choose it became apparent that we had different menus: I had a lunch/brunch menu and he had a breakfast menu. The staff were quite busy and it was impossible get their attention, so we combined our menus and picked out a few things we were interested in on both, so as not to be disappointed when told that one of them was given to us in error. When the waiter came to take our order we were told we could order from either menu which was a relief (although surely it would have been easier for all if we had been given both or told that there were two menus). I ordered a breakfast pie (quiche style pie with bacon, sausage and pudding) and my partner bacon and poached eggs with tea for two. Tea is served in olde world tea pots with loose tea, china tea cups etc. All fitting in with the decor of the establishment - makes for a nice experience for tea/lunch. The food came and was very tasty. My partner was impressed by the quality of the bacon. For the price you would be hard pushed to greater a better breakfast in surrounds like these. a bit more attention to detail on the service and this place would be top notch. read more

A group of us went here for a 30th birthday. They were very accommodating and our group turned out to be a bit smaller than we had booked but this was not a problem. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and talked us through the menu making recommendations for food and drinks. We all opted for starters and mains, we had brought a cake which they were more than happy to serve to us when we were ready for it. It was unanimous that the food was amazing and the portions were very generous. The menu is fairly priced but you should opt for the set menu of two or three courses as this is very good value seeing as some of the mains cost over €20. The restaurant itself is cool shabby chic with class and I'm looking forward to returning and have recommended the place to all of my friends since my visit. read more

It was really busy here and not a good place to sit and have a meeting but I did like the feel of it. I only had the coffee and homemade scone as I was in a rush, but would like the opportunity to actually sit down, have a meal and soak up the atmosphere. read more

The food is simple, yet delicious. The chicken quesadillas are fantastic, as are the homemade lemonades! Perfect for brunch or a weekend treat. Affordable, good value and the setting is so quaint aswell. Staff are friendly and helpful read more

Decent food, nice enough spot. Staff made me feel as if it was a real drag to serve me a sandwich.

I'm not one who usually leaves bad reviews as I think everyone has off days and I worked in the service industry myself for years so understand that some customers can be very difficult to deal with. However, my experience in this cafe yesterday was so bad that I feel compelled to leave a review. Firstly I want to say that I cannot fault the food I had, it was delicious - however the appalling and threatening behavior displayed by one of the owners at the Cafe on Sunday to my 67 year old mother and myself was enough to leave a very bad taste in my mouth. The man didn't even have the decency to apologise for the behavior after accusing my mother of lying, threatening me and calling me an a$$hole under his breath - all over a piece of artichoke!!!! Ridiculous that he'd want to lose customers over something so minor. I'm not unreasonable, but this is beyond anything I have ever witnessed or experienced ever and totally unacceptable. The food was delicious but behavior like that is a serious turn off! read more

Charming place with friendly staff and good food. The menu is short, but interesting.

Finally! Finally, I successfully made it in for lunch, no sorry were fulls or please come back agains, I was in! It's adorable, cute and quirky and mismatched, all pluses in my book, and food was great. Perfectly poached eggs with a side of homemade relish. Plate-licking good. (I didn't though, mammy raised me right, but I was almost tempted to shame her!) My only food related negative it that coffee was small, like really small - Peter Dinkilage small, but was warm and strong, as I'd imagine afore mentioned actor to be so I will let it slide! I did find the manager pretty brusque though, I know it was busy, but no need to be dismissive and unsmiling, good sir! read more

This place is just great - first of all they held a charity fundraiser for our doggy charity, then they always have amazing specials every day so your guaranteed not to get bored, then they accommodated our Christmas party of vegetarians and vegans. Then there is the pop up shop and Curio's section. Bring your dog and sit in their beautiful yard ... One of a kind, people of Terenure are lucky to have this place on their doorstep read more

Never lets me down. Such a great spot for morning coffee and chats, can't resist their gorgeous banana bread or French toast either!! Sweet whimsical decor and so much space to rare to be turned away on a weekday thankfully, I believe it gets really hectic on weekends but worth the queue! Hard for me to escape without picking up something from the cute little shop at the front, I have to look at the floor as I always spot something I want!! read more

Not a huge selection on the brunch menu, but the food is all homemade, hearty and delicious. You won't get a full Irish, but you will get great service, yum breakfast and amazing coffee. Worth a visit, especially if in need of a hangover cure. read more

My wife discovered this place quite by accident and wound up having breakfast there on three successive days in one week introducing several of her friends to the place. She finally allowed me to tag along on Saturday morning. Being middle-aged alas, we were up at dawn and, after a brisk walk, repaired to Mayfield for breakfast. First and only problem was the fact that it doesn't open until 10 a.m. which, I humbly suggest, they need to do something about. 10 a.m. is the middle of the day ! Anyway, breakfast was worth waiting for with excellent poached eggs (for her) and bagel with cream cheese and bacon for me. Portions were on the American side of generous so no complaints there. Two flat whites each and a sinful oven-fresh fruit scone between us brought the bill, including tip, to €30. Excellent value given how much we had. I'll be back and my good wife should be appointed to their marketing department. The premises, by the way, is quirky with classical music playing on an authentic 1950s radiogram and second hand odd bits of furniture and fittings strewn about the place. Two complaints about the bill, though - 'poached' is not spelt 'pouched' and there is no apostrophe in 'For Booking's Call 01-4936830' . I hate that. read more

Great food, super friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere. Not pretentious or overtly hip (like too many of the city's new eateries), just lots of comferty goodness. read more

A lovely deli cafe with excellent sandwiches and sweet treats! I also love that they have fresh produce and salads for takeaway. It's a great neighborhood spot to stop in for lunch, grab a coffee, or find a dessert for that evening. I would definitely be here more often if they had Wifi available. read more

love the grand ma's place style of the coffee shop, what a job on the decoration ! staff is super nice but most importantly the food is really healthy and divine ! read more

Great coffee, quirky atmosphere consistently good food. Along with Black Apple and Noshington the best in the area

This is a really groovy place. The interiors are wonderful, so eclectic and pretty and really uplifting and the setting is lovely. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the same way about the food. I felt the cooking was very amateurish and I the prices did not reflect the quality of the food. I had eggs benedict for main which was ok. The homemade lemonade was pretty tasteless but the coffee was nice. The special desert was a ricotta and blueberry cake which was probably one of the most disgusting things I have ever eaten. It looked lovely when it came out but there was way to much raising agent in it which over whelmed every other flavour. However, the place was packed and I saw plates going to other tables which looked very tempting. Also judging by the other reviews and the crowds of people coming and going from the place I may well have just picked the wrong thing. It is a really pretty place and I can't imagine a nicer place to sit with a coffee and a paper then their beautiful outdoor space, but this is no Avoca. read more
