    Pros - eggs were delicious - latte was solid - wait staff was friendly - water for folks who were waiting in line - they were busy, but went through orders quickly - everything was cooked to order where you could watch

    Mini Irish Breakfast

    Delicious food and great portions at a very affordable price. Lovely spot for breakfast. Highly recommend.

    Full Irish Breakfast

    I'm a big fan of full English breakfast so I wanted to see if there was anywhere for Irish breakfast. It's legitimately the same dish but I was happy to find it either way. I was t disappointed at all. The lady behind the counter started cooking it as soon as I ordered it and it didn't take long at all. The food had good flavor to it and it was reasonably priced at 13€ for the dish. My wife got a sausage roll and was pleased with it. We liked it so much we came back the next day. I got Peach Custard Danish and it was amazing. I could've eaten more than one of them. My wife got the butter and bread pudding, she was pleased again. I recommend it to others.

    French toast, orange juice, pastry, and eggs Benedict
    Jessica W.

    This is a must stop for breakfast in the city. We had the French toast, eggs Benedict, and peach and cream pastry. All were ridiculously tasty. Highly, highly recommend this place!

    Stopped by as I was visiting Dublin and ordered a green tea and an eggs Benedict. The service was expectional and very quick. Its a very homey atmosphere which made my friends and I feel very welcomed :) hope to be back! Thanks pm

    Avocado and Poached Eggs
    Allyson R.

    We went here for breakfast on our last morning in Dublin because it was close to our bnb. Immediately upon walking in I was impressed by the set up and display of delicious looking pastries. The decor was cute and friendly. Since we were hungry and wanted to fill up for the day, we opted for food and didn't get any pastries, even though they looked amazing. There isn't a wide range of food options, but they have staples like eggs and French toast. I got the Avocado and Poached Eggs with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and tomato over brown bread. It was absolutely fantastic - the cream cheese was somehow toasted and meshed so well with the avocado. While it took longer than I expected for the food to come, the wait was worth it. The price was also acceptable for the amount of food we got. Next time I'm in Dublin I'm coming back here!

    The salmon in question
    Michael A.

    My full Irish was fantastic. However, the person I was with had salmon and eggs benedict and the salmon was quite rubbery. The coffees were great and the rest of the food was fantastic but unfortunately the salmon needs to be addressed promptly before I can give this establishment the full five stars. The service was excellent though.

    avocado toast with poached egg and side of hashbrowns
    Gwen L.

    yummy food and got seated easily on a busy morning! smoothies taste fresh and the hashbrowns were great. poached eggs weren't runny but still enjoyable. overall lovely experience and would recommend for an affordable, tasty brunch :)

    Stumbled upon this place while walking around Grafton street. We came in on a weekday for breakfast, we placed our order and sat ourselves. My husband and I ordered full breakfasts with coffee. We were pleasantly surprised at how big the portions were, we had to take one of our pastries to go. Overall, loved the ambiance and the food, would definitely recommend.

    The Wooden Whisk should be your no. 1 spot for great breakfast in central Dublin! The selection of home made scones is awesome (especially the rasperry scone). They have a huge amount of home made pastries and cakes. I had the luck to try the Bailey's cheescake. Just lovely! Good service and a not so touristic atmosphere complete this great café.

    Avocado on toast with poached eggs
    Joanne L.

    Cute place, quite busy on weekend mornings. Had avocado toast with poached eggs. Delicious, and the portion size was good. They also have a large selection of pastries. Didn't try but they def look good. Nothing too special about this place, just a good classic brunch spot.

    Creme Brulee!

    Nice casual place for lunch, dessert, or great coffee, and wine! No need for Starbucks in Ireland. These guys have it covered. Great service! One suggestion: they heat the wraps, so if you don't want them heated, let them know when you order.

    This place caught my eye because of their colorful and scrumptious cakes display. It reminded me of traditional Portuguese and Brazilian bakeries so I had to surrender to my sweet tooth and give it a go. The location is great - 2 min walk from the Spire. There are some good prices depending on your choice but a big cup of americano goes for 2.50 and there are plenty of pastries, sandwiches, take away fresh baguettes and almondino (superb almond cake really moist and sweet). Right next to where you pay they have some "samples of the day"- like bread and chilli sauce for example. The only problem would be that many people arrive and sit and after waiting for a while realize that you must go to the counter to order and pay. And the place is very small with a couple of wooden chairs that are ok but not the most comfortable seating.

The wall fountain was broken, obviously a long time ago and remains a stagnant mess, neglected. This is such a pity as this museum is fabulous, just fabulous. It's a must-see. . This does a disservice to one of Dublin's true treasures. The High Lane is packed with masterpieces and marvels, this restaurant brings it down - though it has a hip and delightful decor- it is badly run, and the wall fountain and outside interior garden has to be repaitred and maintained.

Workers from the nearby offices relax within the jocular interior alongside viewers-of-the-gallery, reveling in the contemporary surroundings made up of buoyant wooden floors and stylish white walls, all of which come together to create a modish environment that nicely compliments the creative milieu of the overall gallery in which to enjoy your tea or lunch break. Tea, coffee, a choice of cakes, quiches, tasty antipasta as well as salads are all on offer, all the selection revealed having been written up in chalk on the blackboard above the cashier counter. This is certainly a laudable place for lunch, and glasses of wine are sold to further your enjoyment. These, together with the actuality that it is the official eatery of an illustrious gallery all affix the café with much significance. However, being fundamentally located in the basement it does feel a smidgen poky and boxed in and whilst the food is sufficient, it is not startling.

I've no doubt the famous scribe himself would have felt right at home here. The interior has an authentic ramshackle feel with a dusty old piano, birdcage and various other bric-a-brac. A red rope prevents punters from exploring upstairs sadly. The cafe serves up a variety of no-nonsense fair, with homemade soups, tasty sandwiches and cakes all on offer at reasonable prices. I always admire somewhere brave enough to serve imaginative soup flavours outside of the crowd-pleasing chicken and vegetable bracket. A steaming bowl of Garlic soup was the ideal antidote to the damp afternoon outside on my visit. Cobalt also boats a lovely leafy-green garden area, the perfect urban escape if the weather is forgiving.

One of the hottest days of the year and we were dragging around a suitcase and in desperated need of a coffee having been awake since 6am. (Surely flights shouldn't go that early?) So in we went. It was a light, high-ceilinged room painted a refreshing Frenchish shade of light blue. Large plants in the corners, a piano, some interesting paintings and little flowers gave the place a vibe which was both elegant and relaxing. We only ordered coffee, however there was a range of yum-looking food available too, as well as an outside garden to enjoy it in. The price was reasonable, the service friendly and we were by no means rushed out afterwards. Will happily return.

The staff were friendly and it was busy, but not too full. I came in a little after 130pm, and I think I'd been in a bit earlier there would have been longer lunch queues. If there is a queue it's worth the wait. I haven't had a Reuben sandwich probably since I left Canada in 2016 (Reuben's are American, but you can get them all over Canada too). Dark rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, dill pickle, and Russian dressing. It was delicious. Pickles aren't a staple on Reuben sandwiches, but I love pickles and was happy with this addition. It adds a nice little tang, along with the dressing. The soup was warm and delicious with a bright tomato flavour. Soup changes daily. Portions were quite large. I just got the soup and sandwich and when I ordered I wondered if it would be enough. It was. My tummy was quite happy after lunch here. I'll be back for sure. Or maybe I'll just order in, because they have free delivery in D1.
