    Breakfast bagel on an everything bagel and a bacon egg and cheese bagel on a plain bagel
    Izzy O.

    Stopped at bald barista early in the morning to grab some coffee and a quick bite to eat before heading on the road toward Cork, and was happy we did! This white mocha was my favorite coffee that I had during my week long trip in Ireland. Friendly staff, great coffee, tasty food, adorable and quaint ambiance-- everything you could ask for in a breakfast spot.

    Latte (large)
    Christine S.

    Great service with a smile. Latte was perfect. Will definitely return during our trip to Dublin.

    The owner!

    Seriously the coolest coffee shop in Dublin... Or at least the second coolest coffee shop... So amazing and the coffee is incredible and delicious... I highly recommend this place if your first time visitor to Dublin or if you've been here before... It's a really really cool shop!!!!!

    Caramel lattes

    Phenomenal coffee, service, and experience. We got 2 yogurt parfaits, egg and relish muffin, 3 coffee and a hot chocolate. The presentation of the yogurt was beautiful and the muffin sandwich was really really good. You ordered and sat down, they brought the food to the table. Super fast and the tables upstairs were very relaxing.

    Cappuccino with a lovely personalized touch
    Sophie B.

    I'm very happy I decided to stop in here for a quick breakfast this morning! This is a great spot for breakfast and lunch with a good sized menu featuring breakfast staples like eggs on toast, porridge, a full Irish, etc., as well as plentiful sandwiches, wraps, and paninis for lunch. The star of the show is, of course, their coffee! I ordered a cappuccino (pictured), and was delighted when I received it with Enjoy written on top! The coffee was very good, and I ordered the scrambled eggs on toast as well which were simple but tasty. They have an upstairs area for seating, as well as outdoor seating for a nice day, so plenty of spots to sit down and enjoy. The seating area is not overly decorated, but that's no bother for me. I'm looking forward to returning here to try some more of their offerings in the future.

    Large Americano

    Mr. Bald Barista himself made my delicious large Americano this morning. Everything was perfect, including the chocolate striped macaroon as my small pastry. Incredible taste, great local ambience, friendly service!

    If you ever find yourself in Dublin make sure to pop in and meet Buzz and family! The Bald Barista is THE best coffee you'll ever put into your filthy mouths. the food is just as good and the hospitality is unbeatable. You'll be fueled and leave with a smile and new friends. cheers.

    According to our tourist guide the best coffee in Dublin - expectations were huge... Unfortunately expectations were not met. Latte art is made with chocolate syrup takeing away all the coffee taste :( And the atmosphere within the coffee shop is not inviting for enjoying coffee in-house.

    Genuinely can't say enough about how great this place is - as a regular you get to see even more of the passion Buzz (the Bald Barista himself!) has for his craft. He loves to chat to customers about "everything and nothing," as he puts it, and you can tell he just loves to be a positive part of people's days. The coffee is exceptional. Always quality, always presented well (some people complain that the art on cappuccinos etc is done with chocolate syrup but I think it's one of the great quirky things about the place), and the sizes are substantial without breaking the bank! It's genuinely one of my fave places in Dublin, always leaves me feeling great that somewhere in the city there is a place like this - where random strangers can have a 5-minute break from the routine, chat, and chuckle, all while coming out the other side with a delicious caffeinated beverage for the rest of the day. Even when Buzz himself isn't there, the girls are fab for the drinks and it's still a great break from the grind.

    Full Irish breakfast (with black and white pudding!)
    Viatrix L.

    Great first meal upon touching down in Dublin. Had an Irish breakfast and tried black and white pudding for the first time; white preferred!

Since I don't eat red meat, I was very excited to see a vegetarian Irish breakfast option. I ordered this as well as a mocha latte. Despite the rain, my friend and I sat outside since all of the indoor seating was occupied. Thankfully some heaters provided warmth for what could've been a chilly breakfast. Very quickly the lattes came out which my friend and I sipped on. They were soooo cute, mine had the design of a little bear on top! The latte itself was hot and not too sweet, the perfect start to the experience. After a few short minutes, the food came out! Immediately, my friend and I dug in. It was honestly everything I expected and even more! There were no weak links on the plate and there were generous portions as well. I sat there for a while working my way through my delicious plate!! Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Beanhive. It was an aesthetic cafe that also provided a hearty breakfast. I would definitely recommend.

The scones have got to be some of the best ever. I've had a lot in my travels and these are grand. The service is always excellent as well. The decor is as charming as it gets.

Friendly service. For breakfast, I loved their vegetarian Irish breakfast that they no longer make, but they do have a traditional Irish breakfast. Only served for breakfast or all day during the weekend. Their pancakes were super delicious (€13). We tried it with honey, syrup, Nutella and banana's. These are served all day and everyday. I also tried their baked beans and kale that came with tomato baked beans and fried kale on bread and topped with fried eggs (€14.5). It was good. Another breakfast item that is served for breakfast or all day on the weekends. Their Caprese sandwich for lunch is addictive and they pair it with a great tasty bread (€11). Their cakes and teas are tasty, I love their chocolate cake. Their coffee, lattes and Mocha are average. But the experience and atmosphere still make them enjoyable. Overall, this is a place that I will always visit.

Ambience: Fun, funky, hippie, artistic and lively, with a little local health food grocery within the premises, as well as kitchen and cafe.

And there were so, so many astonishing fresh-baked things available... serious temptation for the two diabetics on holiday!
