02/10/2025: Deja Brew has really stepped up their game! The açaí bowls have improved immensely — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. The coffee is always spot on and consistent, which keeps me coming back. Staff are super friendly, and they even gave my dog Lola a little cup of cream that kept her busy while I enjoyed my bowl. A great local café with great vibes!

27/07/2025: Beautiful capuchino! Thank you!

01/10/2025: Very cool guys selling nice coffee. Enjoy!

22/09/2025: The Cosy Bean is a great local coffee shop. The pastries are delicious and the staff are always friendly, especially Emily.

15/02/2026: Booked for 6 people to celebrate a birthday. It was a short notice booking and valentine's day, so we were happy to secure a table. Looked at the website and the menu shown was good. Lots of choice and a casual burgers, BBQ, fries type of offering. I was looking forward to a vegan burger which sounded really nice (I'm not vegetarian or vegan). We arrived and were shown to a table in the covered outdoor smoking area. Not delighted with being in a smoking area but we were a short notice booking so not to worried about it. It was cold. The heater above us didn't really help so coats were kept on. Again, not too big of a deal. We were left at the table for a little longer than appropriate, so I walked to the bar inside and asked for a server to attend. A server came soon after. The menu we were offered was NOT the menu on the website. This menu was much reduced. No vegan burger on offer. The dishes we ordered were chicken burger, smash burger, pork ribs, chicken wings, boudin balls, Texan smoked beef brisket, Cajun fries. Sides were Mac & cheese and fries included with some of the mains along with "greens". The chicken burger was nice. A large grilled chicken breast, tender & juicy, some cheese, salad leaves, bacon and a nice garlicy sauce on a large brioche bun. I liked it. The smash burger was described as really nice. The chicken wings also described as very nice. The pork ribs, while tasting good weren't as juicy as would have been liked. They are the positives. The Texas Smoked Brisket accompanied by Mac & Cheese and "greens" at €18 was a distant pale imitation of what it claimed to be. Three slices of beef lay, unadorned by any sauce, on a plate beside a small serving of uncooked, limp baby spinach and red chard, the type that comes in a plastic bag preprepared in your local supermarket, over which had been dripped a brown sauce/dressing. On my companion's plate this sauce was dribbled over the beef slices. The beef was NOT smoked, was dry and hard and devoid of any juices. Texan brisket it most certainly was not. Dreadful. No flavour and hard to eat. It was left on the plate. The Mac & Cheese was only ok. Pasta was cooked ok, but the cheese sauce needed seasoning. Some cheese was scattered on the top and not grilled as I would have preferred. The boudin balls, an arrancini type offering with beef brisket through the rice tasted ok. The crumb coating was over fried and too dark. Again, it was a little bland and under seasoned, but that could be my palate and the accompanying bowl of sauce was very nice. Fries were bog standard frozen fries, the Cajun version liberally dusted with a spice mix. Service was a bit sparse, we felt a somewhat neglected at times as we were out in the beer garden. The server was friendly if a little disinterested. When I complained about the beef brisket his response was that he would "tell the chef". The beer garden roof had a leak which dropped on to my head. There was heavy rain that evening, but to be cold and wet in a restaurant?? It was an occasional drip and I was able to reposition my seat to avoid. The bill, had the food been better, was reasonably inexpensive for Dublin city centre. But, apart from one or two exceptions, the food was not good, the response to complaints was not adequate, the seating area was not comfortable, the menu advertised was not available and we, the paying customers, left disappointed.

14/11/2025: Booked this place for a group of 14 with drinks and platters. Worked with João to book it and it was all smooth and everyone enjoyed it!

05/02/2026: The Steak on the hot plate was amazing, the service was very kind to us as well! Would recommend visiting.

04/02/2026: Easily one of my favourite restaurants in the world. I always make sure to visit here when I’m in Dublin and I always have a great time. I’m positive you will enjoy the food as everything on the menu is very good and reasonably priced. The service is great too and if you happen to be a UFC fan you’ll enjoy being able to take pictures with the belt and all the other McGregor themed things around the restaurant.

09/10/2025: Love Fuji Coffee in the Merrion Centre! The coffee is always amazing and everyone who works there is so friendly every day. I go there after the school run and it’s a great way to start the day

05/10/2025: Me and my husband just love Fiji Coffe Bar, not only for the great speciality coffee and the best dark hot chocolate in Dublin (not exaggerating), but also for an exceptional customer service. The whole team working in Fiji is very friendly and that creates warm and lovely atmosphere.

29/09/2025: Food was well cooked, well presented and came respectably quick. Staff were attentive, even when it was busy. The benches are very straight, so maybe some would get uncomfortable after an extended period - but food, service and atmosphere are well worth a visit

28/09/2025: Love Courtney's!! Favourite pub in lucan!! 😊

04/10/2025: Great prices, and it filled me up. Would recommend.

02/09/2025: Delicous and makes you full. Thanks, we will come again :). In the Pic you see the Chicken curry.

28/12/2025: Artisan bakery, the decor is lovely and the service is fast. The cookies were delicious.

24/09/2025: I've been staying a number of days at a hotel near Hansel and Gretel, and have found this great little bakery and coffee shop a convenient stop as I'm walking to various tourist sites. The pastries are freshly baked and very good, and the coffee (which may be supplied by a coffee shop chain called Ariosa) is very good. Unlike other nearby coffee shops, Hansel and Gretel has no seating either inside or outside. But if a takeaway cup of coffee and a pastry is your thing, this is a great choice.

09/09/2025: Great place for food and drink. Always a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.

30/08/2025: Came here for a family lunch, and I simply can’t fault a single thing. From the high quality food to the fantastic service, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Although slightly on the pricier side, it is well worth the investment. The cocktails were delicious. Thank you so much to the amazing staff for such a lovely meal. Will certainly be back!

17/01/2026: It’s a nice environment to be in but a double Jameson and Coke was €17.80. Got to admit no warning of that was a bit of a sting Everyone one else enjoyed it though with just beers

05/09/2025: I like because it’s always open and the beer is here!

17/11/2025: Yes, this is a small cafe, but the food and service is excellent 😁👍 highly recommend to visit here

10/11/2025: Delicious Irish breakfast. Cozy and local.
