Wilde & Green in Dublin

Wilde and Green in Milltown is one of those places that seems to have been designed by someone with excellent taste and absolutely no interest in where you’re supposed to park your car. You arrive hungry, optimistic, and ready for lunch, only to find a small car park across the road that appears to operate on a first come, first serve, and good-luck-to-you system. There are, technically, two spaces outside, but they are about as attainable as front-row tickets to a sold-out gig. Once you manage to wedge your vehicle somewhere within the general postcode, however, things take a turn for the better. I went in with my uncle for an early lunch. He ordered the breakfast sandwich, I took the chicken sandwich, and both arrived pre-made but warmed up to a level that, against all odds, actually works. My uncle then demolished a scone with the enthusiasm of a man who has found his true calling. The coffees followed: he became an instant devotee of their cappuccinos, while I stuck with an americano that did exactly what it was supposed to do without making a fuss about it. The staff were sound, friendly, and helpful in the kind of effortless way that makes you forgive nearly anything. They’ve also got a gourmet range of bits you can take home, all of which look dangerously tempting, especially if you're the type who shouldn’t be trusted with a credit card while hungry. In the end, Wilde and Green is one of those spots that would be almost perfect if someone could simply magic twenty extra parking spaces into existence. But once you’re inside, with a warm sandwich, a good coffee, and the faint smell of baked goods calling your name, you forget the minor battle you had outside. Worth a visit. Just bring patience for the parking.

Lovely local cafe and food store. Good coffee excellent sandwiches and super friendly staff.

Really nice coffee spot near home. The blonde waiter is the best ever!

Staff were friendly and helpful. A good selection of dishes to choose from. A coffee and cake or hot food. The decor is nice. It also operates as a shop selling pasta, sauces, bread, sweets etc. I would recommend a visit. Note: there is a carpark just opposite the cafe.

I love the place, the variety of food, desserts, cakes, and the coffee and soups. The place is very warm, and the service is excellent. Obviously, I'll visit again.

A hidden gem I keep coming back to! I’ve been coming to Wild & Green long before I started my chauffeur business, Titanium Life Chauffeurs — and now it’s become my favorite spot for a break between trips. Whether it’s a quick refuel or a proper meal, this place always delivers. Their smoothies are fantastic — Angel Cure is my personal favorite, and my four-year-old daughter loves it too. Healthy, tasty, and refreshing. As you can see in the photo, I had the salmon with broccoli, feta & hazelnut salad. The salmon could have been cooked just a touch less for my taste, but it was still great quality and full of flavor. Mornings here are also a treat — the scones are delicious, especially with a good cup of coffee. Highly recommended if you’re in the area or passing through — Wild & Green is a reliable, wholesome stop.
