Happy pair! 😁 - Edit
During our road trip through Ireland, visiting this spot was an absolute must! I've always enjoyed The Happy Pear podcast, so I was excited to visit their café and shop. My husband and I had a hearty lentil lasagna paired with a fresh salad. For dessert, we shared the polenta cake and a bounty bar along with a coffee. The food is served canteen-style, so you get a view of all the delicious options. There was a soup, a curry, a couple of sandwiches and a falafel wrap available. We chose to eat in the sunny courtyard, though there's plenty of indoor seating as well. It was great to see how popular the place was. After our meal, we browsed the shop, where I picked up some fresh produce to enjoy for the rest of our trip.

A Most Marvelous Experience - Edit
Everything about The Happy Pear is wonderful! The people are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and the decor are fun, charming, and amusing. There were many profound quotes here and there. We were on vacation and had a lovely lunch with a dear friend who lives local.

Super lentil lasagna - Edit
I was happy to finally visit The happy pear! The lentil lasagna was good, portions are big and with lots of veggies. A bit disappointed by the cakes.. But maybe it's just me. Unfortunately together with the scone they gave me dairy butter and also the shop sells eggs. I bit disappointed about this.

One of the best vegan cafes in the world! - Edit
We’ve been vegetarian and vegan for nearly a decade and have used the Happy Pear’s YouTube videos and books as inspiration for recipes and meals so it was very exciting to finally be able to go to their cafe today. It lived up to everything we hoped for! The lentil and veg lasagna was amazing and the portion of potatoes and salad meant the huge plate was filled to the brim! The cookies, brownie and salted caramel slice were fantastic! They also have a lovely shop and everyone was very friendly. We went on a Saturday lunch time and there was a real community feel to the place.
Read moreJust as a side note, they do have cows milk as an option and you need to specify you want a dark chocolate hot chocolate as the milk chocolate option does use cows milk as well.

Super rico y variado - Edit
Tienen un menú que cambia cada día pero muchísimos platos para elegir, muchos sides y muchas sopitas. De precio para la reputación que tiene y para estar cerca de Dublín no está mal. Merece la pena el viaje. Fuimos un día que hacía sol y nos pudimos sentar en la terraza. Tienen muchísimo sitio para sentarse dentro y fuera y una cafetería y una tiendecita también donde venden productos orgánicos y algunos que hacen allí ellos mismos. Probamos la lasaña de lentejas, que tenía mil verduras y el humus de side, super bueno. Volvería otra vez a probar los postres y el café.

Oasis close to Dublin - Edit
Thanks to their wide range of cooked food in the supermarket Supervalu, I could travel around the island without worrying if there will be a good vegan option restaurant.
Read moreI am glad I could visit the restaurant. It is just perfect! It has a shop with organic fruit and veggies and more things like bakes.
The food at the restaurant was beautiful! It is like a buffet, but you don't need to build a menu. It is plenty of options.
We shared an amazing wrap, great lasagna, focaccia with too much bread and 2 sneakers: one with coconut and the other with caramel. Both with bad choc. It gave me headache. They should change it.
Apart from that everything was perfect!
The place is great too! It has a terrace at the front and lovely backyard. The dining room upstairs is very cozy.
Staff was correct!
I just loved this place and recommended to all people who visit Dublin.

Food was nice. Don't love this style. - Edit
Why do my salads get piled on top of my hot food and gravy? It still tasted good. But it is a horrible was to present food.

Never had a bad experience here and the staff are always so friendly. Has lost a little of its heart though in the last few years from when I first went there. Might help if they followed the Cornucopia model a bit more.

Always sure to be happy here! - Edit
A must-go-to destination for any vegan in Ireland! Delicious, fresh, mostly organic vegan food served on the premises as take-away or eat-in inside or in the courtyard if you're lucky enough to have the sun shine.
Read moreExcellent fresh food. Lovely little shop - much smaller than it used to be, but still quite a few items available.
Not to be missed.

Lived up to the hype! - Edit
Massive fans of the happy pear. I have all their cookbooks and was very excited to eat here and it did NOT disappoint! It is not a buffet like previous reviews said. There were 3 mains to choose from, 3 sandwiches or salads. I had the lasagne with 2 sides (salads of my choice). All was amazing! My friend had the Buddha bowl which comes with a lil bit of everything and loved it. Coffee was good and we have brownies for later!

Delicious lunch - Edit
I took a trip out from Dublin and it was worth it. I wasn’t sure how it worked so it (buffet) was explained to me and I did ask what was was vegan. (Noting a post below saying not everything is vegan). I was assured it was. I ended up getting a lasagne with a cabbage salad and a kale salad. This was delicious and the lasagne was perfect. Well flavoured and the texture was good. I also had a tahini brownie. This was lovely. Again both in flavour and consistency. I then came back for a flat white and asked for soy or whatever was available. It was suggested I try almond rice milk which I did and it was lovely.
Read moreThere was a large area upstairs to eat in. There was also a lovely outside area to eat in. It was sunny yesterday so I took my coffee to the outside area. Staff were nice.
I went to the shop and bought some chocolate but I did notice not everything was vegan in the shop.

The Perfect buffet - Edit
We have been here after the Bray- Graystone walkway and we have had one of the best peaceful lovely day and food, having our lunch/dinner to the happy pear was the perfect end of the day.
Read moreI love the layout of the shop: you have a sections where you can buy vegan products made from them and you have a section where you can pick your food of the day.
The place is very cool with all the local pictures of Graystone people and places, also what it give extra points to this place is the lifestyle of the openers and how they created this brand.
You Absolutely need to try!
