If you are yearning for legit Irish Sausage Rolls you can find them here at The Bakery (great name…read morelol). Flaky golden brown crust engulfing sausage, a pastry and protein mix for day or night. We also tried the Gur Cake which was made of compressed fruit covered by stale bread and white powder coating. Odd but great tasting.

We were then served gur cake. A mixture of sweets wrapped in bread. Didn't care too much for them. The service was fast and the atmosphere was nice as we sat outside and enjoyed our treats.

Visiting Ireland for the first time, on my way to the Guinness Storehouse for a tour, I came across…read moreMannings Bakery. Looking over their case of baked treats, I decided to grab one and had a good experience, overall. I walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and perused the case for a moment, figuring out what was what and narrowing down what I wanted. The inside is a good size with a few tables and some stool seating. The inside is very much a café. It took over 10 minutes to get the woman behind the counter to take my order, but she was fairly busy prior to me walking in. She did a nice job answering my questions though and cashed me out quickly. Afterward, I found a stool and had a seat and waited no more than five minutes before she came over with a tray with everything I ordered! I ordered a custard slice and an Americano. The custard slice description is a golden and flaky puff pastry filled with fresh Irish Cream & Custard Sweet Fondant. The custard slice was nicely sized and had plenty of cream in the middle! I wish the top of the pastry wasn't hard though, it made eating it VERY messy and cumbersome, but it did taste good. The Americano paired nicely with my treat. Once I finished my mid-afternoon snack, I was told I could leave my dishes and they'd pick them up - a full-service café! Manning's Bakery is a cute little bakery/café serving up some delicious looking treats. I don't think I'd order the custard slice again - the top of the pastry being that hard made it cumbersome to bite and cut into and made a mess. The workers behind the counter were friendly enough but came off stressed out still. If I ever come back to Dublin and am in the area, I'd be willing to come back and try another one of their pastries or maybe a slice of one of their cakes!

Luckily I won a voucher by Crowe Cakes at the Secret Supper Yelp event in April…read more It coincided with a coffee morning I organised a few days later so I asked if it's possible to get cupcakes for it. Sinead was very professional in managing that on such a short notice. She has a couple of new fans now as a result :-) Everyone I got to speak to loved them - me inclusive. And we were impressed by the presentation which also made it easy and safe for transportation. The dough was lovely fluffy and the icing nicely matching and only light sweet - I personally don't like it too sweet so they were exactly my taste. You could just see and taste how much passion went into them. I definitely will keep recommending Crowe Cakes.

There has literally never been anything I've gotten from Sinead that I haven't adored. From…read moreadorable quirkily decorated cupcakes to divine key lime pie to vegan gluten free banana bread, everything is delicious. Often she does the cupcakes and treats for burlesque events, and patrons always rave about her wares, as well as doing epic birthday cakes to order, most recently a giant espresso martini sponge in a specially ordered glass! Highly recommend!

This place is so cute and decadent. The atmosphere reminds me of a quaint coffee shop (which, I…read moresuppose, it is). I went here for breakfast and ordered their Irish Porridge with seasonal fruit, cream and toasted almonds along with a blueberry scone (can't visit a tart shop and not order a dessert). The porridge was huge. There was no way that I needed both the porridge and the scone but when in Dublin... It was creamy and had a great thick texture. The scone was light and fluffy and paired well with the butter and jam they give you. My only complaint was that I would have liked a larger cup of jam for my scone but only because it was so good! I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.

I find the prices for their baked goods a little too high. I understand that they're in a train station, they can attract customers but do they have to abuse that power? Commuters need something tasty and quick, that's where you guys come in but they're also paying through the teeth for their rail/bus tickets. I purchased a nutty bar, just because I needed to check out the quality and it is good but slightly over-priced, in my opinion.

Staff were friendly everyone very clean looking at the burrito is half warm - the rice is cold and there was no guacamole. It is dry and on appetising.

Next time I need food in this station I will go to supermacs and have a burger and fries. At least it is hot and you know what you are getting for the moment. Burrito cost €6.90

Opening a coffee shop usually isn't a big thing -but when Kilmainham's tiny Spar on the South…read moreCircular Road opened its Insomnia Coffee Company in late '09, there was cause for (minor) celebration. While businesses have been stationed here, just minutes from Kilmainham's main attractions (the Gaol, the modern art museum and the Topaz petrol station), for many years at last this row of shops can offer local and touring foot traffic a place to stop and smell the lattes. Linked via an open doorway to neighbouring Eurospar, this clean, warm coffee house offers plenty of seating and a modest menu of soups, pre-packed sambos, pastries, smoothies... and of course, coffee (and tea, and hot chocolates). Outdoor seating is usually reserved for the indigenous teen population, though local garda will move them on once or twice in an afternoon. Inside it's families and small groups of friends chatting, flipping through left behind copies of The Mail, Sun or Star. The staff are laid back but competent, clearing dishes and wiping down table fairly regularly. Other than the occasional plate collection, customers are generally left to themselves by the baristas - lending to a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Prices are reliably consistent with Insomnia's other outlets, so expect to shell out €2.50 for a regular Americano, €3 and upwards for pastry and around €5 + for sandwiches or soup.

The store is pretty no-nonsense, and your orders will be barked at you when ready, so make sure you know what you want when you get to the counter and that you're ready and waiting when your order is called. If you are tossing up between the sugar loaf bakery and Cafe to Go across the way, don't get your knickers in a knot over your decision - they're run by the same bunch, so have pretty much identical products. Cafe to Go has better pre-packed sandwiches, a-la the UK chain Pret-a-Manger, while the Sugar Loaf Bakery does more of the made to order variety.
