The best restaurants in Dublin

26/10/2025: I ordered pancakes and the women taking my order just walked off without specifying what ones and just gave me kids Nutella ones definitely won’t be coming back

25/09/2025: Coffee Machine always dirty, portafilters and baskets with old coffee are not cleaned before the next order, no recipe used, barista was not able to explain their coffee or recipe when asked about taste of the coffee, which was weird. I am a Gym member and like the vibe, but food safety there is not great.

30/12/2025: If you are looking for a nostalgic trip back to the late 1980s, this café in Rathfarnham Shopping Centre delivers—though unfortunately, it seems the cleaning and maintenance schedule also stopped around the same time. What could be a charming local hub is, in reality, a masterclass in how to make customers feel unwelcome. Atmosphere & Hygiene The first thing you notice is the decor, which hasn't been updated in what appears to be 40 years. While "vintage" can be a vibe, "neglected" is not. The physical environment is only outmatched by the coldness of the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were met with a rude and unfriendly demeanor. There was no greeting, no smile, and a general sense that our presence was an inconvenience to the people working there.For a local shopping center café, the pricing is extremely overpriced. You might forgive the cost if the quality was high, but the food was a disappointment. Our meal was overpriced and dry. In a bizarre move for a place charging premium prices, they actually charge extra for butter.There is no kids' menu and zero effort made to accommodate families. It is distinctly not family-friendly, which is surprising given its location in a residential suburb. It is a genuine shame that this is the primary dining option within Rathfarnham Shopping Centre. The local community deserves a vibrant, clean, and welcoming space to grab a coffee or a bite to eat. Instead, this establishment lets the whole area down. Save your money and your move and go elsewhere.

06/12/2025: I was bursting to go to the wee so I came into rathfarnham shopping centre and went to the little cafe upstairs and I ordered a tea cause they wouldn’t let me use the toilet cause it’s customers only anyway she charged me €3.20 for a pot of tea with one lousy tea bag in it…..absolutely shocking and the staff are incredibly rude ther was a older lady looking for an extra bit of butter And they refused to give it to her until she paid more money

18/12/2025: Person attending and preparing the sandwiches is quite rude and not friendly, better service in other locations like the beacon

17/08/2025: Very rude lazy staff . Kept getting wrong . Treated customers with contempt
