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

Best Cinnamon Rolls Ever

This is where I've had the best cinnamon rolls ever sofar. They have a wide selection ranging form the normal ones over cream cheese, chocolate, etc.
Also serving savoury food, although that side of the menue is a bit seitan heavy.

Pros: Cinnamon Rolls, Service

Vegan heaven

Both the cinnamon roll and the marshmallow cookie were bomb. Very few seats inside but they also have a terrace. Friendly staff, good music… totally recommended :)

Cool

Cool place, very busy on the weekend. The Ruben sandwich wasn’t my taste but the tofu scramble wrap was delicious. Nice service.

Unica parola, Meraviglioso!!!!

Fantastici Cinnamon Roll, glassati sia sopra che ai lati, enormi, altissimi e super soffici. Una nuvola paradisiaca!! Il locale è 100% vegan e serve anche toast, tramezzini e wrap salati fatti al momento su richiesta, biscotti, vari tipi di Roll, molti tipi diversi di overnight oat, porridge e torte. Il locale ha solo 4 posti a sedere dentro e 6 fuori. Hanno bevanda di avena, soia, mandorla, cocco, nocciola ecc Imperdibile se siete vegani e venite a Dublino, se amate alla follia i cinnamon roll poi come me non potete perdervelo a costo di non visitare un qualsiasi monumento della città in programma!!!

Pros: Cinnamon roll, gentilezza del personale

A little gem in a vegan desert city!

One of very few vegan eateries in Dublin, and it didn’t disappoint!

Various wraps and sandwiches (toasted), fluffy cinnamon rolls and drinks.

We went there twice during our short visit to Dublin and tried 5 different savoury items and all 3 cinnamon rolls.

Ideal para desayunar

Este pequeño café tiene una interesante variedad de dulces pero también de wraps y sándwiches saldos. Yo escogió el revuelto de tofu y espinacas y estaba muy rico.

Lovely

Had lovely food here. Great latte and the most amazing no cinnamon roll.
The wrap was on the salty side so not the best, but really enjoyed the friendliest of the staff.

Cute shop, delicious food, friendly staff!

We grabbed ourselves a delicious Brekky here yesterday and got the pesto mushroom toastie and the spicy korean wrap and boy were we in flavour country! The wrap was full of delicious, rich (and spicy) Korean flavours while the pesto sandwich was well balanced, tasty and a solid option. Would absolutely recommend the wrap but with a cold drink instead of a hot one, it was a touch difficult to do a chai latte and the Korean wrap at the same time.
Loved coming here to support one of Dublin’s last all vegan spots.


Also I know it sounds like I didn’t enjoy the chai latte but I promise it was really good, I just should have polished it off before the wrap got to the table 😁

Pros: Korean wrap , Pesto mushroom toastie , Chai latte

Cons: Small shop with no bathroom

Gem of a café in Dublin City Centre

Its a Trap is a vegan café that serves hot drinks, sandwiches/wraps and has a bakery counter with a range of pasties and cookies. It serves oat milk by default, and has punk stickers on the coffee machine. I got a reuben sandwich, a chai latte and a marshmallow chocolate chip cookie, which came to €20.08 (not cheap but fairly standard for Dublin, with the bonus of supporting a small vegan business). There are a few outside tables and a small counter for sitting inside.

Pros: Delicious food, friendly staff, vegan punk ethics, Central location

Great lunch spot

Stopped here for lunch with my husband and we ordered two wraps - an all day breakfast wrap and seitan & pesto. We shared a cinnamon bun afterwards as they are huge but it turned out to be a really nice amount of food overall and all of it was delicious!

Unique, compact and tasty

The crew at It's a Trap have a really unique and functional system in place. A reduced menu with surprising amounts of variables, namely the easily adaptable cinnamon rolls.

The wraps are excellent, the sandwiches did look great too.

Yummy cinnamon rolls

Small cafe that has a small selection of wraps, sandwiches etc but its main thing seems to be cinnamon buns and coffee, which is no bad thing at all.
I tried the basic cinnamon bun, which is generous in size and yummy. The cream cheese ones looked immense. I'll try those another time

Pros: Good treats, Range of breakfast/lunch choices

Delicious and unique

Amazing and huge cinnamon rolls and tasty wraps. There are not many choices, but it's also not really needed. Great place for a quick snack or take away, not so much if you want to sit and chill for a while.

Yummmmmmm

I wasn’t sure what to get and another customer recommended the barbecue sandwich. I paired it with the classic cinnamon roll. Both heavenly!!

One of very few vegan places left

Decent selection of wraps and sandwiches, the seitan wrap was simple but quite tasty. Quite pricey for what it is, but one of the very few vegan places left in Dublin

If it's a trap it's an all vegan tasty one 💕

Small little place which is all vegan. Not a fast food place. More of a family cafe with a focus on quality ingredients cooked well. Mainly sandwiches on tasty bread and a mouthwatering array of desserts. Had the delicious cinnamon rolls twice. Had the Ruben sandwich which I didn't love, but I'll be back to try other menu options for lunch. Limited inside seating, outside seating in a covered area (mostly) away from the rain.
