Awesome, fast, progressive deli with friendly staff serving from a deli counter and a select list of choice groceries. The venue also offers onsite catering deliveries.
I have been hitting here for a few months now, for coffee, freshly-made rolls and salad and the odd sweet thing! On A Platter is a firm favourite with school kids from the nearby schools, wanting bags of sweets - there is a line out on the door on Friday afternoons!
Other times, it is busy with professionals, students (it is close to UCD on Carysfort Avenue), and construction workers from early hours from Frescati and Blackrock Village buying coffee, lunch, or essentials.
There is outside seating for those who want to munch immediately, and a dog-friendly "K-9" parking station for your four-legged friend.
Manager and staff are sharp, customer focussed, and ready to go the extra mile on the experience by sourcing things like vegan milk and gluten-free options too.
On a Platter is a huge addition to the Blackrock area of South County Dublin, badly in need of great coffee, funky, fresh, progressive meals, modern caring styling and staff who care. And the sweets... well what a selection. What can I say - Go On the Batter at On a Platter! Recommended read more
