Old Music Shop in Dublin

We had a lovely enjoyable afternoon tea here where the food, tea and coffee were delicious. The favourite was the toasted fruit cake. The selection of savoury and sweet were all tasty. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

We came for afternoon tea with my 8 years old daughter as her very first experience of this tradition. Until a certain point, everything was lovely: a calm atmosphere, beautiful table setting, and the feeling of taking part in a special ritual together. However, the moment that changed everything was when she noticed that other tables had plenty of fresh strawberries on their afternoon tea stands, while ours had none at all. For an adult, this might seem like a small detail. But for a child — and especially when it’s her first introduction to afternoon tea — it matters a lot. Her immediate question was simple and heartbreaking: “Why do they have it and we don’t?” From that moment, my attitude towards the place shifted. Afternoon tea is about care, attention, and making every guest feel equally valued. When that balance is broken — particularly for a child — the experience loses its magic. Perhaps it was a mistake or an ingredient shortage, but no explanation was offered, and no alternative was suggested. Sometimes a small gesture or a few words can change everything — but that didn’t happen here. The venue itself is charming and has great potential, but for us this visit ended with disappointment. When it comes to a child’s first impression, details are not minor — they are the foundation of trust and memory.

An excellent place for afternoon tea and in general. Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service!

Our afternoon Tea expierence was really lovely. The Service especially David made our stay unforgettable. He was so kind, attentive and heartly. We felt us very welcoming. Tea/Coffee and the whole food was fresh and in every sense delicious. Perfect time ! Price ist more than fair every hot drink is inclooded not limited.

We attended a festive afternoon tea and was waited on by David. David was patient and kind. The atmosphere was very cosy and fun, the food was exciting and yummy… we had such a great time. Thank you!

this was such a delicious afternoon treat! Loved it and such good value. I will definitely be bringing my grandparents when they come visit

We have come here a few times over the past few months for lunch and have always left happy. Service, food and atmosphere has been perfect every time. We plan on coming back for afternoon tea next as we have heard it is a fabulous experience!

Always a pleasure to have afternoon tea here. Every year myself, my husband, kids and friend plus kids come here for afternoon tea. The staff are always lovely, the food good value and the kids feel so grown up with their own afternoon tea. Definitely recommend it and it's great value. See you all next October:)

We came here to celebrate my friend’s 30th birthday with some afternoon tea and were overwhelmed by the hospitality we were met with! The staff had decorated the table with balloons and a birthday banner and they were so attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Dublin. 10/10! 🫶🏻

Was a fantastic afternoon tea I took one star off the food as is we could have got more of a selection of sandwiches The staff were very friendly and helpful
