If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

I've never had a single bad experience here over several years and it's easily the best place in Lucan village for food.

This place is so cute and decadent. The atmosphere reminds me of a quaint coffee shop (which, I…read moresuppose, it is). I went here for breakfast and ordered their Irish Porridge with seasonal fruit, cream and toasted almonds along with a blueberry scone (can't visit a tart shop and not order a dessert). The porridge was huge. There was no way that I needed both the porridge and the scone but when in Dublin... It was creamy and had a great thick texture. The scone was light and fluffy and paired well with the butter and jam they give you. My only complaint was that I would have liked a larger cup of jam for my scone but only because it was so good! I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.

I really liked this place, very neat, cosy with an elegant interior like a proper tea room. Different food choices but we came for tea and dessert.

I would highly recommend this cafe, its quite, great for relaxing and enjoying a pot of tea or meeting up with friends.

I really wanted to like this place, I've been here on four occasions and 3 out of the 4 times, I've…read morebeen completely ignored. Other patrons will come in and get menus and unless I actively flag someone (usually only one person on the floor) down, I never get served. On my third time, I thought I'd wait to see how long it took. Over an hour went by (while I was using my laptop and their wifi) and still no one came to me. Finally my friend stopped by and just ordered at the till. It's a cute place and good working spot but I won't be coming back. Again, hate to make this a race issue but as the only non-Asian, non-white person in there (every time)and then to be ignored consistently on multiple occasions is upsetting. It's really easy: serve good food and be mildly attentive to your customers. Won't be recommending this place until something changes. Update: approached the staff member and confirmed only one member of staff working and while I empathize, just saying "Sorry" without any meaning behind it , isn't good enough.

It has a fairytale-like…read moregarden and if the weather is nice, you'll be able to sit among the rusted, ornamental hens, swinging chairs and playing kitties. The restaurant is under a bright conservatory and the furnishing is delicate, ornate and farmy. All of the food is homemade on the premises and it tastes wholesome and flavoursome. The bree tartlets were light and tangy and the rhubarb pie was sweet and crumbly. Other dishes included soup, fish pie and beef in Guinness. The menu wasn't extensive but the options were all tasty and the atmosphere was relaxing, just as it should be in the middle of the Wicklow countryside. Pop in here on your way back from Glendalough - it'll be welcome fare after a good long walk in the valley and you're guaranteed a warm, homey welcome.

Whether you are just visiting the tea room and gardens/castle tour, or staying in the castle Airbnb rooms- it's a wonderful experience.

I have been a guest at Huntington for a collective 3 months now, and would highly recommend. If you come in the Spring, don't miss out on seeing the lambs!

Today I got a chance to try it and was really pleasantly surprised by what I found. Inside is small; you are greeted with a small hatch, almost like a kiosk within the cafe where you order your (extremely good) coffee and what ever treat catches your eye. The treat in my case was a home made coconut cookie - it was huge and beautiful and tasted as good as it looked. Around the walls are tables with not massively comfortable chairs, but good enough for a quick tea or coffee and a chat. The atmosphere is relaxed, the surrounds old and attractive, the costs not prohibitive. Now that I know what it is like I'll be back - though I bet it gets mobbed during the summer!

Not to start with a clichee but the Tea Garden is literally an oasis in the middle of Dublin that…read moreone can go to nurture both their taste buds and their soul. I don't know if there's anything quite like it in Dublin but the Tea Garden earns the attribute of "chill" more than any other place I have visited from Thailand to San Francisco. You get into the Tea Garden by going down a winding set of stairs. Inside, you'll be welcomed with very soothing music, sometimes just sound-therapy style white noise and sometimes subtle lounge music. Downstairs, there are two areas with some really comfortable couches, some tables and an area out back where you can sit/lie down on the floor and cushions to truly lounge. Upstairs, there's an area with more tables and another couch and 3-4 large stalls made of bamboo where you can have some privacy while you lounge and enjoy your tea and hookah. Tea Garden does specialize in high-quality teas, so do expect to pay a bit more than your garden-variety tea at a cafe but the quality and presentation are top notch. The types and quality of tea that can be found here are representative of this approach to high quality tea. If you are new to the world of tea, I could suggest picking one of the white teas or the oolongs to taste something unique. If you like chai, you'll probably enjoy the masala chai tea which is really well done here. The hookah (sheesah) here is also quite good, although, I am a total hookah snob. I do think that the blends that they used are selected such that they will be a good compliment to tea as opposed to a regular hookah smoking experience. That said, the only other place I know that serves hookah in Dublin is the Morroccan place around the corner and Tea Garden's hookah is better. Finally, it is worth noting that the staff is very good but at the same time make a distinct effort to not be in your face to let you relax like you would at home. So if you have a burning need after you have made your initial order, it might be a minute before they come around.
