Reallyyyyy Good

Haven’t tried too much of the food but the coffee is very good. Also love that they don’t charge for alt milks and syrup. Vibes are good and employees are very nice, just don’t bring in outside food.

Amazing

Had a massive Biscoff cinnamon bun and a matcha latte. Couldn’t stop thinking about the tres leche cake so went back for it - sublime.

Best coffee in Dublin!

Nothing but good things to say about this place. The wraps are delicious and filling too, the coffee was the best I’ve had in Dublin, and the cookies were amazing! Sadly won’t get chance to go back to try the cinnamon buns but they looked incredible.

Pros: Coffee, Breakfast wrap , Cookies

Just WOW!

We got the Biscoff cinnamon roll, a chocolate marshmallow cookie, and chai tea. We still dream about that cinnamon roll! And my guest said that dipping the cookie in the chai tea was amazing. On a personal note to management were really sorry to hear about your recent break-ins and hope you’ll be there next time. We’re in town. 

Pros: Amazing flavors, Hospitality

Worth the visit

Both wraps we’ve got (breakfast and scrambled tofu) were delicious. They had 3 different cinnamon rolls and several cookies on offer. We tried vegan cream cheese cinnamon roll and it was divine - soft and fluffy. Batch brew coffee was a great addition.

Pros: Very fiendly staff, Dogs welcomed, Batch brew coffee

Sweet little bistro

I went there before venturing into town.
I had overnight oats and an oat latte.
While the prices are a bit high, everything was very good.
They could even point me in the right direction in finding vegan groceries afterwards.
On top it seems like a good refuge for people with alternative livestyles.

Pros: everything vegan , friendly atmosphere , helpful

3.5 Stars. Grateful to have this breakfast oasis

It's certainly nice to have this quick meal/breakfast place as an option. Unfortunately most of the staff seemed somewhat "indifferent" or disinterested towards the customers. Maybe they were having a bad week, as I was in 3 or 4 times. The food looks delicious, but it could benefit from just a wee bit more flavour, kind of like the staff I encountered. 😆

Certainly worth trying!

Pros: Decent food, decent coffee , One of the owners is friendly - great guy

Cons: Other staff members seem indifferent

Coffee and cinnamon heaven

The first breakfast place we went to on our trip around ireland. We arrived late the day before and changed hotels right the next morning. We arrived at It's a trap with our chunky backpacks and were welcomed with really good coffee and delicious breakfast.
We had an all irish breakfast wrap (which was amazing, with is the biggest compliment my SO would give (he is also no huge fan of wraps, so double win)). I had the ruben sandwich which I can't recommend enough.

Of course we had to share a cinnamon roll (lotus creme), which started our day in a very positiv direction.

Just note that this cafe doesn't have a customer toilet. it is perfect for take away and a short sit, but too small for a long stay.

Pros: Perfect food, Perfect coffee

Cons: no toilet, too small if you want to stay longer
