Pangaea Coffee Co
Swords
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.

Sanuk
Swords
25/09/2025: After hearing about Sanuk from a few friends the next time we had the chance we took it with both hands to order from them and our expectations were not lowered, it was a quick delivery, good service from the driver and then the quality, quantity and taste of the food was fantastic! We have ordered again since and will be going back time and time again!
25/07/2025: Lovely Food great flavours ordered from the swords branch and my order came promptly. Really enjoyed my meal which is rare when I order takeout. Will definitely order again!!

O'Briens
Swords
03/06/2025: A woman behind counter serving customer whilst banging and slamming bins shut, and cursing under her breath. I was with my little girl and the two of us were so scared that it was our turn next that we turned on our heels. She then said ARE YOU OK... so I told her I definately was not ok with her cursing in front of my child. Totally unacceptable. Everyone has bad days at work but try to conceal it next time maybe.

Jade Palace
Swords
07/07/2025: I ordered delivery and it came very fast and the food was hot and lovely
17/05/2025: Hadn't ordered from here in over a year before tonight. I stopped because of price, not quality... The food was always excellent. Just got ribs tonight and they were as dry as the Sahara desert. Almost like they were kept warm for hours in a dry oven and just had the sauce added before collection. very disappointing and not what I expected based on past experiences. Sorry to say, but I won't be back

Noah & Co
Swords
13/09/2025: I had the hash with poached egg with some tea and the food came out quick and well cooked. Crispy potatoes, perfectly poached egg, bits of chorizo and rashers was perfect pop of flavour! Staff was very nice, attentive, and helpful. I was lucky to be here on a sunny morning and the seat by the window was perfect. Highly recommend for a relaxed breakfast solo or even with friends and family.
19/08/2025: Seriously overpriced. €68 for lunch with family. I had wrap, my wife has a salad, and the kids had sausage and chips. No desserts, no hot drinks, alcohol. We could have had a full dinner elsewhere for cheaper, and quality doesn't justify the price. Did was very mediocre.

Starbucks
Swords
14/11/2025: As best ever and nicest such child's placed coffee from anyone
19/10/2025: Upfront: the staff was okay and the atmosphere is also okay, nothing above & beyond but also no super negative experience.
What strikes me the most though is that the coffee drinks here surprisingly are absolutely atrocious. They don’t taste like the actual Starbucks drinks whatever. It’s like they totally make their own recipes up and just wing it on the go here. The pumpkin spice latte did not even have spices in it or tasted like anything. The flat white has foam on top and tasted super sour (maybe the espresso machine is not correctly calibrated or something). We have been to a lot of Starbucks (also ones more on the bad side) but this one unfortunately was the worst from drink quality perspective.
I think Starbucks should look into the Franchise license if the coffee drinks keep being made like this. I also hope this review makes the staff look into this problem - I wish them all the best!

Five Guys
Swords
08/11/2025: Not sure what the others are saying. Went here last night and had honestly had one of the best experiences I've had at a five guys. Burger was perfection with a juicy, crispy, and rich taste. Fries were very good as I'd expect. Milkshakes was also great. Hands to the head of kitchen and staff working today. This is a much better experience than an average burger I'd get from a fives guys. Only complaints is could be cleaner.
07/11/2025: Horrible, disgusting and expensive, I simply can't find words to describe how awful the Burger is.

McDonald's
Swords
10/12/2025: Service was terrible most expensive McDonald's in Ireland at 4.50 for a large fries everywhere else is 3.80 the staff are rude and obnoxious manners costs nothing
07/12/2025: Maybe all McDonald's are like this... but on the rare occasion I'm dragged here, its noisy, messy, unclean, and food is muck. Also very awkward unless you're driving. I don't think there is even a path to the restaurant.. for drivers only

Riverside Chinese Takeaway
Swords
02/09/2025: Both of my daughters got food poisoning from this place, ordered 2 Spice Bags and a Chicken Satay dish...AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
10/07/2025: Never in my life have I experienced takeaway food this horrifically disgusting. The chicken with orange sauce looks and tastes like worms in orange juice jelly goo. I am genuinely shocked that this is legal to serve to paying customers. Unbelievable. 0 stars.

McDonald's
Swords
24/11/2025: Honestly the SLOWEST mcdonalds iv ever been to! Go airside instead

Fingal Cafe
Swords
31/10/2025: Moved to swords this year and decided to try fingal cafe in the hopes of finding a good chipper in the area.
Really disappointing that they do not freshly batter the fish. They have a drawer filled with essentially part cooked fish (likely frozen and defrosted as needed) that they then put into the fryer. Because of this the batter is crispy on the outside but is mushy closer to the fish.
A very short sighted way of cost cutting. I was hoping this could have been a place for us to continuously return to over the years but unfortunately I will never be back as the food is not up to scratch.
At 35 euro for 2 fish and chips with sauces you really should be trying to do better for your customers fingal cafe.
11/10/2025: I ordered from Fingal Café about a year ago and ended up bringing every single item back. The food was vile — ghostly, anaemic chips that looked like they’d seen a microwave more than a fryer. I swore I’d never go near the place again.
Fast forward to today and my partner, bless him, comes home with a surprise chipper. I took one bite of the garlic cheese chips and instantly knew that history was repeating itself. Dry, dusty, and somehow both soggy and stale? A true culinary mystery.
It’s impressive, after a full year later and they’ve managed to maintain the same level of disappointment. Never again
