The fact that its in the centre of the shopping centre, does not do much for the creation of any atmosphere I must say. I had the salmon quiche and thought it was nice. It comes with two salads, but in terms of salads, all you can chose from is sandwich fillings. So not really a great choice. Its a grand place to pop in for a bite to eat, but I think the shopping centre has a lot better to offer.

neighborhood spot for breakfast & lunch. cute neighborhood near Dublin City U campus and Croke…read morePark. short breakfast menu with some pastry selections. wife chose a croissant to begin and i picked a scone with butter/jam/whipped cream. the scone was listed as served warm and came barely above room temp. it was also quite dry and crumbled when touched by a knife. but the addition of jam and cream made the pieces pretty tasty. the croissant was significantly better, flaky and fresh. with jam even better. the house organic granola my wife chose was declared pretty bland even with the berries, mint, and yogurt added. a drizzle of honey did a lot to improve the taste. my choice of eggs benedict was intriguing as it was listed as using Parma Ham-a type of prosciutto-instead of a more traditional ham. unfortunately the execution didn't meet expectations. the ham, instead of being sliced and soft, was similar to a chipped beef, crisp and in little chunks. it was piled on one side of the bread without egg or hollandaise. the egg was perched on the other side, nicely poached but covered in the blandest hollandaise i've ever tasted. a good dash of pepper helped but between the meat and the sauce it wasn't a good choice. also the "muffin" it was served on was really dry. our service, while attentive, was made a bit difficult by a communication barrier with the server who i believe did not have English as their first language. she was trying very hard though. maybe another day and another meal-lunch or brunch-would be different but on this day we left disappointed.

A mixed group of us came here for brunch on Saturday morning having made a reservation in advance. The menu was the usual brunch fare and with burgers for those so inclined. Some of the party ordered pancakes - judged pretty good, others opted for poached eggs with avocado - ditto - and I had the breakfast bap with scrambled eggs on the side. Bad choice. The 'bap' was basically a burger bun (I know this because one of the group ordered a burger and it was indeed the same bun on both). Baps should ideally be ciabatta although a baguette is not unknown or unwelcome. This was a slightly sweet burger bun. On this were two overdone rashers of bacon and a couple of hardened sausages, both of which I reckon has been cooked earlier and reheated. Garnish, if that's the word, was a sad and lonely half tomato grilled to death. For the price I would at least have expected a small salad of rocket or similar but no. The scrambled eggs were terrible - soggy and tasting of butter and grease. The coffee was good and strong, the service was friendly and attentive but the positives didn't even come close to canceling out the sad mess I received. I won't be rushing back. Should be one star but, based on my companion's verdicts I'm giving some benefit of the doubt.

The Coffee Shot is a small place with big energy and a healthy variety of options that go beyond coffee, but the coffee was what I was after! One thing I appreciated about this spot was their iced offerings. Most shops I went to in Ireland were too big on iced options on the menu, so when I walked in and saw the board with big letters spelling "iced", I knew I had arrived! I went with an iced caramel latte and it was delicious! Normally caramel can be a bit synthetic tasting, but here, they did it just right. In addition to the coffee, we got a cinnamon roll to share. Perfect combination! Overall, glad we went out of our way to swing by The Coffee Spot!

The food is very basic and doesn't really cater for any gluten free or special diet requirements but the food they do have is tasty and fresh and does the trick. I enjoy the cappuccino, in fact all their coffees are good, with a fresh made scone, which could do with being a little bigger and the fried breakfast is a good size, offers just the right portions of each item and isn't swimming in grease! Over all a nice place to visit for a non pub venue lunch or quick coffee and treat if in the area, but if you look a little further afield there are better options.

More recently the Gra* to try was only heightened by seeing the queues of people patiently waiting to get into the Churchtown branch every Sunday morning as I passed on the way to do the weekly shop. This Sunday we got our chance, plans in the morning had changed which meant we were late leaving the house and were in need of a late lunch, the queue outside the café was small as we passed, I saw our chance and went for it. After only 15 mins we were seated, a comfortable table by the window and menus in hand. The menu has Q written all over it - chicken wings, open sandwiches, steaks.... Seriously... Q all over it! I ordered the all-day breakfast, junior the wings and fries and wifey had a pasta dish. Overall the grub was OK... it was all cooked perfectly and lookd great, it tasted OK too... but that's all, just OK. The quality of the ingredients wasn't what it should have been, it was surprising given how popular the place is. I'm glad we got to try the restaurant but no, won't be returning. *Irish for heart but also means to want passionately

The chicken pie looked magnificent with a huge pastry top and although I was initially slightly disappointed to realise there was no pastry base (apparently there is actually a very heated debate about whether it can therefore be a pie at all, of which I was previously unaware!) I thought it worked brilliantly with the slightly soupy insides, into which I bashed down the topping anyway. So not a classic pie certainly - perhaps a pot pie? - but in any case I'd recommend it, especially because it comes with a great selection of vegetables and salad. They are really flexible about what you get which was awesome because I fancied a combination the hot and cold options as so many looked so good. They were also really unusual - purple potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes and greens with beetroot puree. All very tasty, and from Irish farms, and in fact I think quite a lot of it from the Airfield estate itself. Hot chocolate was good too and there's a water tap where the cutlery is. Given the old country estate setting this is an ideal place to come if you'd like to experience a bit of nature, and it's very close to Ballaly Luas stop and the Dundrum shopping centre.
