3fe Five Points in Dublin

Ive tried this place a couple of times waiting for the magic to happen but it just never came, it flatters to deceive for me.

Edit: A year after my first review I see things didn't change. New employees but the same attitude of being more focused in socialising between one another and laughing loudly, than serving. We had finished our meal and the dishes were there, being annoying at the table when we wanted to use it for something else. A server would come and go close to us, but was avoiding eye contact and never asked to take the dirty plates. A different server came after a while and took them without us having to ask. There was a third server, the one that took our orders and brought the food, but he never came even near us after serving the food. Also, in this place you are asked if you want a coffee as soon as you sit. For lunch we prefer the coffee after the meal, but since no server approached us for a long time after we finished eating, we gave up. By the time the only good server approached us we were annoyed and didn't want to give this place more of our money. I think we're not considering this place anymore for Sunday lunch, since apparently the staff can't be arsed to work on that day... Original review: I have been to this café several times, I like this place, the food is a bit pricey and I wish they had more vegetarian options, but the flavours are great. The service is normally good, sometimes even great. Today, though, the waitress we had at first was more focused on socialising with her coworkers than on taking our order, or the one beside us. Later on, she and other staff members apparently were taking a break sitting at a table, they were very loud, talking and laughing in an obnoxious manner. Not really the type of atmosphere you would prefer in a café. When we paid, again another member of staff seemed more interested in socialising with coworkers than to greet us good bye. It left a weird taste, not very customer oriented day, I guess.

I live in the neighbourhood and this is my favourite lunch spot! They also do takeaways and you can buy great quality coffee beans. If needed, they can also grind the coffee beans for you in the shop. Always great service, tasty food and delicious coffee.

I recently visited 3fe Five Points in Harold's Cross Road, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The café has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a modern and cozy interior that invites you to relax. The food was fantastic — freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. The coffee was top-notch, as expected from 3fe, with rich, smooth flavors that highlight their expertise in brewing. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The 3fe is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious food, exceptional coffee, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

I’ve always loved this place for its excellent selection of coffee beans. I have bought coffee here many times and asked to ground them for Moka pot. Unfortunately, during my last three visits, their grinder wasn’t functioning properly, and the grind size turned out much finer than I needed. so I can't use it for this way of making coffee. it has been disappointing, but I hope seeing this review they will fix the grinder soon.
