The Chelsea Drugstore in Dublin

13/06/2025: Stopped into O’Brien’s for a quick breakfast and left with a full belly, clean hands, and deep respect for a spotless bathroom. I went for the cream cheese and bacon bagel — a classic combo that rarely fails. It was almost perfect, though the bagel itself was just a tad undercooked. A little on the doughy side, like it panicked halfway through baking and gave up. Still tasty though — cream cheese covers a multitude of sins. Staff were lovely: friendly but chill, the kind of people who’ll greet you warmly but won’t judge you for scrolling on your phone with one hand and demolishing a bagel with the other. Tea was grand. The whole lot came in under a tenner, which in Dublin is practically a miracle. Throw in a pristine bathroom (seriously, it was so clean I briefly considered moving in), and you’ve got yourself a great little breakfast spot. Would return. Might even bring the bagel a pep talk next time.
