Best flat white in Dublin city centre, hands down. I stopped into Shoe Lane Coffee on Tara Street…read moreand the coffee was seriously good smooth, strong, and properly balanced. You can tell they actually care about the beans and calibration, not just blasting out caffeine to half-awake commuters. The atmosphere is what makes the place though. Busy in a good way, great music, warm lighting, and the staff somehow stay friendly even during the morning rush. Had a brownie with the coffee and it was unreal.

Three lovely baristas took my order and while I was disappointed that there wasn't a toastie or other hot breakfast available, I made do with a massive pain au chocolat. The flat white that was made to order was perfection. Rich, creamy and enough caffeine to get me to my AirBNB after a Transatlantic red-eye. And delicious. I sat with my breakfast looking out the shop's front window for a bit, watching the pedestrians and buses go by before heading to the train station.

It depends what you're looking for....but to me this place is so homely…read more Very quiet, basic little cafe, with basic furniture....no frills, but the atmosphere is lovely, it's like sitting in the comfort of your own kitchen! :) It's a great cafe for a catch up and the couple that work there are really pleasant. I've been here several times with my boyfriend during our lunch hour, or first thing Saturday morning for a breakfast roll and a cuppa tea for €6.....admittedly we always ask for an extra sausage....so yummy! :) They serve breakfast rolls, sandwiches, and a full Irish breakfast all day but they also have other lunch options too :) The couple working there are very friendly and remember us each time we go in.....we don't even need to look at the menu now as they remember our order too :)

So after a bit of a rough night out I woke up with a hangover and was looking for a nice long day…read morein bed. Until it hit me, shoot I'm supposed to meet my friend midday. Ugh what was I thinking? My friend lives out in North Dublin and I live the other way, so we'd agreed to meet somewhere halfway between. The only place I could think of was the Kylemore and that was not really where I wanted to be with a hangover! After a bit of research I discovered there was a nice greasy spoon on Talbot Street. The food was perfect and the fry up soaked up the booze left in my stomach and a nice warm cup of coffee quickly brightened my head. Definitely worth it, though like Dani pointed out it's not convenient to most people stuck at home in their beds nursing a hangover!

If there is one thing I can always eat it's a full Irish, well ok and carrot cake and any other…read moretype of cake. I'd heard that the Pantry on Talbot Street was a good place for a fry-up so I decided to give it a shot so I could report back to you. The pantry looks very light and modern, a bit like a French bistro. The staff are friendly and know how to make a good cup of coffee and well, the fry-up is indeed very good. Nice and greasy- exactly the way it should be. The rashers were nice and crispy and the toast nearly perfect. So why am I only giving 3 stars? Well, I know where I can get the same just a wee bit cheaper and closer to home. Having said that, the Pantry is worth checking out if you're in the IFSC or near Connolly station.

"Ah howye luv, yer usual brekkie roll is it?"…read more "Yes please! I'm like a box of Lego. I'm in BITS!" "Late night?" "Yes! You better give me a turnover for tomorrow too, I feel a 2 day hangover approaching!" This is a real old Dublin bakery. The women that work here are real Dubs and I am sure if someone looked sideways at me they'd have my back! They say real Dublin Mammy things to ya. They're deadly! This place is tinchy tiny. The bread is top notch. As the lady who works here said to me before...... "None of that Cuisine De France shite in here luv" A real proper crusty roll for your lunch. I used to live around the corner from here and every Saturday morning I would get my brekkie roll (pictured above). The deli counter is very small and the sausages and rashers are out of a vacuum pack. I'm here for the bread, not the rashers and sausages so it does the trick. The rest of the fillings are much better than that, nice and fresh and really good coleslaw. The turnovers are my favourite (as well as the crusty rolls). I don't have a sweet tooth so the only time I would have any cakes from here is if we got one in the office for someone's birthday. Everyone in my office raves about the cakes however. If you're in town of a Saturday doing some shopping Northside then I would highly recommend you brave the nasty street that is Talbot Street and get some bread for your brekkie on Sunday morning. Totes amazeballs!

The cafe is very pretty, with plenty of different art pieces and decor hanging on the walls and cool furniture. It's quite small inside, with maybe a little more than 10 tables. If it's nice, you can also opt to sit on the small patio. It was a bit chilly when we were in the city, so we decided to sit inside. They have a small menu - you get to choose from a few variations of the Irish breakfast, scones, and breakfast sandwiches. My friend and I both got bacon breakfast sandwiches with the hashbrown and split a plain scone with butter and jam. We were both surprised at how large the scone was and were glad we ended up just sharing one. Even between the both of us we couldn't finish it. The breakfast sandwich was rather large as well and very filling - it hit the spot perfectly! We also got lattes which did the trick of waking us right up! The service seemed very rushed and scattered, but honestly we didn't really mind. We got our food very quickly, so we were in a great mood and left with happy bellies. Overall, if you're into cute cafes, good coffee and want to satisfy that Irish breakfast craving... come here!

I came in pretty early at 10am and there was no one there, yet (more crowds came in shortly after). It was solely manned by one cook in the open kitchen, and one host/server. Since this was my first meal in Dublin, I obviously opted for the best of the best, the goliath of breakfasts, if you will. The Mega Irish breakfast (€9.90) came with 2 over-medium eggs, 2 sausages, 2 slices of bacon, 2 hash browns, 2 black pudding thingies (sorry I'm such an ignorant American...), half a tomato, cup of beans, and 4 slices of toast. Wow. I somehow managed to finish the whole thing, and mega it was. I skipped lunch due to the sheer amount of food. The highlight was the sausage - they were plump, super juicy and very flavorful. The coffee(€2.50) which I always drink black, was also pretty good. The cost was so reasonable given the sheer amount of food. The restaurant itself is pretty artsy (ha), with some nice work on the walls and an eclectic hodge podge of furniture. Definitely check out if you're staying nearby!
