Seomra Tae in Malahide

Lovely scones, brown bread, and tea. Staff was friendly and prompt. Overall a super spot for an afternoon snack.

Mondays. We all hate them. The sort of day where the road feels longer, the sky looks greyer, and you wonder if civilisation would collapse if you just went back to bed. I was out doing deliveries, running on fumes and bad temper, when I stumbled into Seomra Tae in Malahide. And thank heavens I did. Inside were three women – absolute angels disguised as café staff – who took one look at me, clearly falling apart at the seams, and decided I needed saving. They handed me a cappuccino. Not just any cappuccino, mind you. This was molten joy in a cup. The first sip was like the clouds parting, a choir singing, and my entire Monday being reset. By the second sip, I was convinced I could drive a thousand miles. By the third, I was fairly certain I was in love. It was smooth, rich, perfectly balanced – the kind of coffee you don’t just drink, you have a relationship with. So here’s the thing: Seomra Tae isn’t just a café. It’s a sanctuary. A place run by saints, disguised as baristas, who have the power to turn the worst day into something bearable with one cup of coffee. If you’re in Malahide and you don’t stop in, you’re making a catastrophic error in judgement.

We enjoyed a light breakfast and coffee on the front patio this morning. The avacodo toast and Americano were both great. The service was very friendly and fast!
