For when you need a little lunchtime pick-me-up, Thunder's éclairs, cream buns, carrot cakes and trifles will make you forget all about your deluded boss, but it is their big sheet cakes that really are the show stoppers. I recommend the black forest gateau.

Overall Value: Decent coffee and scones - it's a nice neighborhood shop to stop at, but I probably…read morewouldn't make it a destination. The Food: We got a few coffees, espresso, and two scones - one raspberry and one original (I think). The scones were not especially memorable - I would say they are serviceable. They were not especially moist or flavorable, but load up enough butter and they were pretty good. We had better while in Ireland, but also had worse, so I would rate this somewhere in the middle. Space and Pace: Really small shop with some outdoor seating. Unfortunately surrounded by smokers sitting outside, which killed a little bit of the atmosphere. But it is a cute little neighborhood shop. Service: Friendly enough and gave good suggestions. They were busy, but never felt rushed.

They have a variety of breads, cakes and buns. I am a huge fan of their ginger bread men, delicious! Prices are reasonable, service is warm and friendly.

Wow, absolutely amazing is all I can say. We stumbled upon Woodstock after a failed attempt of…read moregetting food at Gravediggers. We just missed the cutoff for lunch and didn't want to wait until 6pm for them to start dinner service again. We found this place by accident after asking the locals for a recommendation on good food options. There are so many options in Philsboro but we didn't have internet access to check Yelp. Woodstock is a cafe/Hofbrau that serves comfort food that I know and love. They have a very good roast pork option that has the crispy skin attached. You get several slices of thinly sliced pork with an enormous helping of vegetables and potatoes. The meat was well seasoned and tender. I was given two kinds of gravy and it worked out quite well. For about €13.50, you will be stuffed. The staff here are very friendly and we were given a small side of applesauce for desert. They are an ace in my book.

In a city slowly filling with fancy hipster cafés, Woodstock keeps it real. This place has been…read moreopen for over twenty years and is an institution in Phibsborough. You'll find all walks of life here and it's brilliant! They do a savage, cheap breakfast; total comfort food. You are charged by item and you also get tea/coffee and toast with it. It's amazing value. It's buffet style so you tell them what you want and staff will serve you up a generous portion of each item. The food itself is simple but really hearty and high quality. There's a room at the back that you might not spot on first glance that's got lots of extra seating, should you come in at a busy time. Worth a try if you're looking for something cheap, filling and like what your Mammy'd make ya! :)

The menu looks so nice and the place is so obviously well run and personal, that we decided to stay for a sandwich. we shared a buffalo mozzarella pesto sandwich with slow baked tomatoes on toasted brown bread.

Many of the things here are home made. It reminds me of a nice neighbourhood deli/cafe in New York. There is the space in front with lovely iron tables that will be great to sit out on a sunny day.
