The best restaurants in Swords

20/12/2025: Had Iced Mocha!..... The besstt, must try!!!

01/12/2025: The coffee is nice enough here. I definitely think it's a good establishment in that regard. Can't comment on the pastries etc. but they all appeared quite nice. Downsides are that it is one of those cheeky places that shamelessly beckons you for a tip on the POS terminal. The price of the coffee is enough, thanks. If this is pre-programmed, you might knock it off before handing it over to the customer. And they really need to fix the deafening squeaky door, it sounds unbearable if you're sitting in there and people keep coming in.

19/11/2025: Definitely for those with a sweet tooth! Ube latte is amazing and like a warm hug on a cold day which is what everyone needs this week! The colour is just beautiful too. Hard not to smile when I visit. Staff are so lovely too.

06/11/2025: Absolutely amazing place! Cupcakes and Counting is hands down one of the nicest spots in Swords. The cakes are unreal — you can tell everything is made with real care and top-quality ingredients. The coffee is always perfect too. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they really make you feel at home every time you visit. The place itself has such a cozy, calm vibe — perfect for catching up with friends or treating yourself to something sweet. Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. Whether it’s for a custom cake or just a quick coffee and cupcake, you’ll never be disappointed here!

04/01/2026: €12.40 for two milkshakes. We were shocked when he handed us what I’d call a child’s size cup. It’s an extra €2 per milkshake if you want to upgrade to a large, otherwise known as a normal sized milkshake to everyone else. The kinder beuno one had a strange aftertaste, and a Crunchie one can only be described as a glorified Crunchie McFlurry. The Crunchie one was literally just Crunchie pieces and vanilla ice cream. Avoid if you’re looking for a decent milkshake!

30/12/2025: Awesome food. Great experience.

25/09/2025: Delicious wagon wheel pizza. The twisty fries and cheese balls are really good. Always great customer service and friendly staff.

25/09/2025: Absolutely amazing pizza,great taste the base is amazing and not greasy at all.Great value for money in this economy

08/02/2026: I have been to many subways but this one I visited twice. The foremost reason being that you get the option by the persons across the counter to get fillers and sauces as per your taste with a smile and this is welcomed. It is not a very crowded place but can accommodate about 20-24 persons at a time. A small place but you love the service

11/01/2026: Went here after a bad experience in the Gulliver’s retail park location. Completely different experience here. Sub was very fresh and the man behind the counter was polite and efficient.

25/10/2025: Yummy Yummy? More like Runny Runny! Looks like I have to leave this review since they ignored my private message to them. I wanted to give them a chance to fix their problem but they don't care so here goes. Ordered a 4 in 1 and some deep fried wontons one Friday night 2 weeks ago. Started projectile vomiting 3 hours after the last bite of half of the 4 in 1. Had nothing else to eat that day since the morning so it was definitely the food from Yummy Yummy that caused it. As you can imagine, uncontrollable vomiting was not the only issue I had for 24 hours after I ate the food, but I'll spare everyone the gory details. Picture attached of the message I sent to give them a chance to explain themselves.

24/10/2025: Lovely take away. Nice staff, tasty fresh foos. Thank you

29/01/2026: Ordered a starter and chips, food is nice but forgot the sauce that’s included. Very annoying and not as enjoyable.

28/12/2025: I am oredring for delivery often from Sanuk and the food is always very nice, delivery is quick and profesional.

14/01/2026: Great NYE night out, excellent staff! Came here for New Year's Eve 2025 with my girlfriend and her friends. Good spot for a big night out. The bar staff were surprisingly attentive and friendly, which is rare these days, especially on such a busy night. Big shoutout to the bouncers too. Fair prices for drinks, nice venue with a good setup. The only downside is that it was VERY overcrowded inside. There was a massive line all the way down the road to get in, so you need to get there early on big nights. Overall, a solid night despite the squeeze.

08/10/2025: Offered a 2nd tea bag for large tea then charged me another €1

15/09/2025: Food and coffee were scrumptious, tables were clean, sheltered from rain and warm, music a bit loud and not my choice, everything else perfect for a Sunday brunch.

26/02/2026: This our regular family spot for dinner..staff are so attentive. They remember you as friends. Very friendly for kids. We usually go for early bird as it is less busy. Food is always amazing. Never had a bad meal. This will always be top of the list. Take away option comes served just as well as sit in meal.

04/01/2026: Decided to give this establishment giving the positive reviews but my god what an absolute disappointment. Food arrived cold, sweaty and needed to get reheated. Chicken madras sauce was watery, cold and tasteless absolutely disgusting. The naan bread was overcooked and cold. The chips were cold, sweaty and undercooked. Very disappointed with the food and more importantly, the food should never have to be reheated. 70% of of a near €30.00 order had to be binned, the best place for it in my opinion.

01/06/2025: Best doner kebab enough for 2 people amazing would recommend

24/05/2025: Great takeaway, definitely the best in Swords. Also all halal!

09/10/2025: Desserts are good, but I had the worst coffee of my life. Also the girls are veeeery impolite. It was 15:20 and they wouldn't let us sit because they close at 16:00... lol We sat inside anyways🤣

03/06/2025: The staff is not very friendly. Today I came for a coffee, after 5 minutes of getting my coffee the staff asked me to drink my coffee and leave because the facility is closing. I had to drink coffee by force. I don't think it's done that way. It would have been much more polite to say before I ordered that I wanted the facility to close soon, because then I wouldn't have ordered at all, but would have gone somewhere else.

17/07/2025: Dropped in for a quick lunch today, on a Thursday. Wasn't too busy so didn't take long at the counter. Went for the quiche with side salad at €14.95. After waiting for 20 minutes it finally arrived. It was a tiny slice with some beetroots, a tea spoon of coleslaw and spinach leaves...that's was it!! The slice was so small I was lifting up the spinach leaves to see if there was any more hidden. Total rip off!! It measure at about an inch at the widest part into a point.... I won't be back. Shameful

11/06/2025: Chaotic, low quality and high price. Long long waits for mediocre food. It is clear that the staff are trying their best under difficult circumstances. I don’t know who is running the place into the ground but they need to stop. Now.

24/03/2026: Quite an underrated place. Deserves more attention. Awesome food - great flavors and balanced spices. Good value for the area.

14/02/2026: I placed an order which was accepted and marked as in progress, but it was suddenly cancelled after more than 20 minutes. This is completely unacceptable. I relied on this order and wasted a significant amount of time waiting. Because of this cancellation, I then had difficulty ordering food elsewhere. If restaurants are going to cancel orders after accepting them, they should not appear as available on the platform. I expect an explanation and appropriate compensation for the inconvenience caused.

27/02/2026: Never had a bad meal from Thaima , and between myself and the family we order across the whole menu. Staff also very good with help and suggestions

31/10/2025: Brilliant takeaway in river valley, has the best red tofu curry, not even vegetarian but this has become my favorite dish, it's so well prepared and the tofu cooked to perfection. The staff members are polite and friendly. The food is still piping hot even 10 minutes after walking home with it. Amazing all around 🔥🌷👍
