The Grumpy Bakers in Midleton

First time trying the place. Lovely to see everything being baked freshly for customers to see. Service is brilliant, Sara in particular is extremely customer focused, absolute pleasure to deal with. Place is also spotless. Will be back for sure.

Coffee was Fenominal, sourdough is also really nice along with the staff

Gorgeous chicken sandwiches on sourdough and focaccia. Beautiful salad. Delicious pastries, lovely coffee. Superb sliced white sourdough loaf which we froze and it fed us nicely during our week in Kerry.

Great coffee. The salads for lunch are excellent and very generous. Really enjoyed my morning bun too.

One of my absolute favourite bakeries. The pastries here are genuinely incredible, especially the pain au chocolat and croissants — easily some of the best I’ve had. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, the pastry is beautifully flaky and buttery, and the pain au chocolat has the perfect amount of chocolate without being overly sweet. The croissants are just as good and absolutely worth trying, but the hot chocolate might be one of my favourite things here. It’s rich, smooth and goes perfectly with the pastries, especially if you manage to get a fresh pain au chocolat alongside it. My biggest recommendation is to get here early! The best pastries can sell out surprisingly fast, and after trying them you can understand why. I’d much rather arrive early and have the full selection to choose from than risk missing out on the pain au chocolat or croissants. If you’re nearby and enjoy proper pastries, I couldn’t recommend this bakery enough. Get there early, order a pain au chocolat and a croissant with a hot chocolate, and you really can’t go wrong. Definitely somewhere I’ll keep coming back to.

Ear damaging noise see measurements in attachment. Recently returned and glad say great food but Too loud because there is no sound absorption on the walls and they have a cement floor.

Everything about our visit in here was top notch - came at 2pm on a Saturday and could've easily gotten the staff at the end of a shift, but they were all beyond friendly on top of the best sourdough and pastries we've had. Incredible all around!

Personally it was too noise inside. Food and service were great though

Amazing sandwiches good coffee and very aesthetic spot to chill

Beautiful place and lovely sandwiches. Live it.
