The cafe is on the top level of the square with the counter facing out and a seating area partially hidden behind it. This area looks down over the rest of the shops but doesn't feel too closed in. The coffee and tea is pretty good, but at 6 euro for a not-very-large slice of carrot cake and a tea it seemed a little pricey to me. The cake was quite nice all the same, and served with real cream (rather than that horrific fake stuff). I'll probably fall into this cafe again, but grumble about the price!

The eggs were light and fluffy, the cheese was soft and smoky, and the sourdough bread was chewy but also toasty. The sandwich was quite big. I wasn't sure I would finish it, but quickly did after the first bite. The hours at this cafe are variable. They do not have a website listing the hours, and Google and Yelp cannot consistently keep up with their hours as they change on a whim. Currently, the hours listed on their board says Monday-Friday 8:30AM-3:00PM, but it was not open this past Monday when I walked by. They serve breakfast from 8:30AM-10:30AM and lunch 12PM-3:00PM. It's probably best to call first to see if they are open. Hope this helps!

Run by a group of women and the lovely owner is from Enfield in county Meath. All the food from the farmhouse cafe comes from their farm and is made fresh everyday.

I no longer eat meat and this sandwich makes me struggle every time I see it on the menu. Oh the temptation.

That is not to say that I don't like the food…read moreat O'Briens; their sandwiches are pretty good as a rule, and I like the little touch of the handful of crisps at the side. It's just it wouldn't be the place that I would automatically think of if I was out and about and wanted a sandwich. But there was a time a little over a year ago when we were making a short film set in a car dealership. We found a car dealership in Bluebell industrial estate that was willing to let us film there. It's no small wonder that we found our location there, as Bluebell industrial estate (or JFK Trading Centre, as it is officially and perplexingly known) is an endless windblown expanse of acres of car dealerships and related industries. The place we were filming was set a bit off the main road, and seemingly miles away from the nearest shops. This left us with the tricky business of finding somewhere to feed and water out actors in some bit of comfort, but lo and behold, what should we happen upon in this desolate end of west Dublin industrial apocalyptico but an O'Briens Irish Sandwich Bar, dead in the middle of the industrial estate and a hop and skip away from where we were filming. The existence of an O'Briens in this locale would in itself warrant a four-star review, but this O'Briens happens to be an unusually nice branch of the franchise, possibly the nicest O'Briens that I've ever been in. I feel that sometimes that the furnishings in O'Briens can be a little bit Spartan, but this was not the case of the one in Bluebell. Bright yellow and blue armchairs, nice coffee tables, totally incongruous with its setting but all the more welcoming for it. If you happen to find it necessary to head out to Bluebell industrial estate, keep an eye out for the O'Briens, right after Phoenix Motors, near the back.

We also had some lunch at their birdcage cafe on the upper level. Pretty good food choices in their cafe. Will definitely come here again. Mac & Cheese Update: Very very bland, no seasoning and barely any cheese. There's is a crispy coating on top that was interesting and that reminded me of a type of panko bread crumbs. Overall though, it's not your typical Mac and cheese if that's what you're looking for.

Holy. Shit. I rarely…read morecurse but finding this gluten free goldmine of glorious pancakes was like a blessing of the saints. The portion sizes kind of seem small but that could be because my girlfriend and I split everything and it was basically a couple of bites from each other's dishes. We got the blueberry lemon pancakes, and a meat dish for the needed protein, so one savory and one sweet, the way breakfast is meant to be worshipped and devoured simultaneously. Beautiful, small place that gets packed very quickly. Interestingly enough I thought it was a French bistro, but I believe the owners hail from Ukraine as that is the country flag that was hung outside the shape if my world history learnings are correct. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and would come back in a New York minute if I get the chance to visit Dublin again. As always people SYOY!!!

I do wish the bacon side had 2 slices but it only comes with 1. My husband had French crepes with blueberry supreme topping and an order of the potato fritters, which is its own meal. I had hot tea and he had a cappuccino. Be reminded that this is a European sized cup not a giant American size. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals so much so that I left no scraps on my plate. My husband didn't finish his fritters that have avocado on them bc he's not a fan of avocado. He forgot to ask that they be removed. His fault. Very nice young staff. I wish that we had discovered this restaurant sooner bc we would have eaten breakfast there again but we discovered it on our second to last day.

So when a work colleague told me about this little gem I got very excited. The first time I tried it I got a salad which to be honest I was not overly impressed with. I asked for certain things in it as you can make your own. Not a huge amount of chicken or avocado and the large size was not terribly large. Extremely average. BUT THEN I went back and got a sambo. It was quite amazing. The have all sorts of different breads to choose from and what I love about it is they have bread from Bretzel Bakery which is pretty top notch bread. I got pastrami, gherkins, cos and mustard on rye bread. Now this rye bread is not rye bread as I know it. But it was still amazing. They did not have enough pastrami for a portion so the lady taking my order asked me if I would like to mix it with something else. Marvellous idea. So they threw in some salami. I got back to my desk at work and had a sambogasm. They do hot food here too. Which is probably too calorific for me who is a good boy mid week when it comes to carbs and fats. But it looks and smells really good. Staff are super fast. Super nice. Super efficient. Tips - Ask for the Bretzel Bakery bread, there's a couple of options. The baguettes are probably Cuisine De France and the sliced pan looks just standard. Check out their menu online before you go. The queue moves very very quickly and with so much option for sambos you could make a rookie mistake by ordering something you don't really want. Ask for cos lettuce rather than the standard lettuce. It's a lot nicer. Bring cash. They don't appear to have credit card facilities at the moment.

My mate drinks here and he lives in Arklow! Miles away! The reason for its popularity? Well, do does exactly as a pub should do, serves decent pints, in a comfortable well laid out space, with a laid back vibe and huge outdoor, covered, heated smoking area, with its own bar. There is even a cool little snug here as well, which is great if you don't want to be seen with your date! otherwise you will be seen here because as I said everybody drinks here! This place goes off when there is a big sporting event on, especially any Irish or Dublin games of any sport and it is always jumping on the weekends. There is a great food menu too, reasonably priced and eating here is really popular at lunchtimes and on weekends with families. The spring rolls with chili sauce make a great alcohol soak-er upper when you have had one to many vodka sodas, not that that has ever happened to me! Oh and the coolest thing about this place is the fact that it is built on a medieval burial ground! They took the tombstones, but left the bodies!!!
