McKenna’s Pub in Dublin

31/07/2025: This review was due a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still enjoying the coffee I bought at Urbanity. Still, a few notes to help travelers while in Dublin. We were looking for a place to have a good coffee with breakfast. The family likes to eat heartily at the start of the day, and Urbanity did not disappoint. The menu is positively bold with an emphasis on natural and organic ingredients. I had a sourdough toast topped with avocado, mung bean, water chestnuts, and a soy and garlic pesto... Topped with an organic fried egg, and side bacon. This fill me in enough to board the plane back to Canada, where I'm regretting not having the chance to try other items on the menu. Now the coffee. My server at Urbanity presented me with a brew from Apaneca-Ilamatepec in El Salvador. I recognized the region from old travels, and I was happy to taste its coffee again. I want to note this region does not historically have a coffee culture, but has optimal conditions for high-altitude coffee production. The coffee here uses the natural method of processing produce by sun drying. Urbanity buys the green beans directly from the "cooperativas" to roast them right in the store. So, I did buy some beans and brought them back to Canada where I'm still enjoying that amazing cup of coffee.

31/07/2025: Our first breakfast in Dublin and it did not disappoint! Great coffee, fresh and delicious breakfast plates with big flavors and portions. Service was prompt, polite, and professional. Great start to our trip. Thank you!
