Jay Kays Cafe in Dublin

09/07/2026: I went there with my girlfriend three times while we were in Dublin. We really enjoyed the ambiance, hot chocolate, food, good service and friendly staff.

28/06/2026: Great atmosphere, very enjoyable coffee and dessert options with fast service even when relatively busy, although unfortunately the food seems to be served in prepackaged portions, while certainly forgivable given industry conditions it seems prone to being served very near the end of its shelf life even when stale and very nearly inedible. (see photo, taken hours from expiry) Particularly the Caesar salad containing what can be only assumed to be donkey 🫏 elbow (possibly crouton?) Also worth mentioning were the various critters (spiders 🕷️ and ladybug 🐞 see photos) running laps around my brownie. This was very entertaining but the spider and his compatriot were incessant and very bothersome. Although it is uplifting to see such rich biodiversity within the city centre. Altogether still would absolutely definitely recommend to any café enjoyer. Perhaps just for the drinks selection.
