They have specials for lunch too, which help the budget conscious! I love my tea, and just bought a tea here today.. It was delicious, we gave me the urge to compliment them. They also have a sitting area at the back where you can enjoy your snacks in peace, I even brought my own food (prepared at home) and had it here with tea and treat, and no looks or telling me I can't eat in here. Staff are friendly. Only 4 stars as the eating area is a little untidy & tables not cleared away

They have all the things you can expect at a shop like this, along with PINK LEMONADE SNAPPLE! This is the first place I have found it in Dublin, and although I've been wanting to keep this a secret so as to have all the pink lemonade to myself, alas I can no loner keep quiet! There's also an ATM at the back of the shop.

I also wanted to see if they had creamer, that didn't work out as well either. But while I was in there, I could not believe my eyes. The bread, the food, the alcohol, the toys, etc. how much cheaper everything was! I was in there for about an hour and could not believe that here in America we spend so much more on food than what is really needed. The convenience of having so many grocery stores everywhere was also great. What was interesting is that you walk through a barrier with a security guard do your shopping, and then you go to an automated checkout. To walk out of the barrier you have to scan your receipt. It's pretty convenient and I see now here in America Safeway specially in some areas they have come to the same exact process. Well, I walked in there to get coffee, I ended up getting a baguette cheese, meat, cream, cream cheese, coffee, smoked salmon, and a few other items and let me tell you it was delicious. The workers there are not that friendly, and if you want to buy alcohol, you have to do it at 10:30 AM. The store was very clean compared to some stores here in America and there was a lot to choose from.

This LIDL is clean, decently stocked and nicely priced. The grab-and-go food was pretty well picked over this afternoon but I found a sandwich triangle as well as some candies (some of which might survive the journey and go into my suitcase home) and a very inexpensive bottle of sparkling water. Self-checkout worked fine and I don't need a bag since I have my backpack. Easy, pleasy. [Review 1840 of 2024 - 96 in Republic of Ireland - 22862 overall]

However, whenever I travel internationally, I always look forward to trying new snacks that are not available in the United States. So I did find some Doritos flavors at Spar that i hadn't seen anywhere else during my time in Dublin. It's a fully stocked store with an array of items from chips, candy, and cookies to an assortment of grab&go sandwiches and instant ramen. This location is nestled on the corner of a busy, crowded street. No self-checkout. You have to pay at the register. The customer service was a bit lackluster.

We hit the Spar to have stuff in our hotel room, for when we get hungry between meals. And the Spar did just that! They also sell random things that you might run out of on your trip. Great spot to replenish your essentials! You can't beat the open 24 hours convenience!

Those who have been to…read moreTesco know the store , this one you walk in and a security guard is sitting there scanning ccv I guess for thief , maybe a visual to stop thief but those , the majority of us, who don't steal little concerning if the store is safe. The lay out is confusing but generally found what we needed. If looking for fruit here little short on stock , and again lay out is confusing and some items not even in stock. But will say the staff at the self check out were helpful. So keep this review short as it is what it is. Would go again as the location on temple street is nice , but wish other options

And no, just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's rubbish; it's substantial, flavoursome and created using fresh ingredients from their palatable in-house deli. For one week at a time a certain type of baguette is decided upon and sold for this unchangeable price, this week it is the tasty BLT whilst last week I enjoyed the Chicken Salad one, all for this unbelievably low-cost price. If that week's chosen 'madness' doesn't tickle your fancy then Londis' deli offers a variety of delicious ingredients to be used as fillings for sandwiches and baguettes. I particularly relish in ordering a toasted Panini with tomato, ham and cheese - a succulent treat on those hangover days. With an internal ATM machine, well-stocked tobacconist and newsagents as well as an impressive selection of groceries all stocked under the same roof it's easy to see why Londis is such an institution to unfussy Dubliners who are looking for a speedy shopping experience that doesn't compromise quality.
