14/08/2025: On August 11th, I had an unpleasant situation. My friend and I went in for lunch and sat at one of the last 3-4 tables outside. Shortly after, the waitress came and she told us that we had to go inside to be seated, because sometimes customers are standing in line for a table. I said that we didn’t know and apologized. To which the waitress replied that this was not my first time here and should have known. This statement was completely disturbing as neither I need to memorize how operations work in your coffee shop nor I felt secured someone tracking my earlier visits. On my last visit, I first saw this waiter when I went inside to see what desserts were available and to place an order, to which she rather rudely told me that I needed to sit at a table first. So on this visit, we immediately sat at a table. It sounds like your place either lacks proper training or staff is treating based on their mood. I also observed that this waitress did not approach other customers the same way which made us feel further down. Previously, I visited this cafe years back, there were no waiters, and everyone just sat outside. Regardless, this is nowhere near how a service should be provided in this industry. Then my friend and I paid the bill, said thank you, goodbye, to which the waitress remained silent, tried not to look at us, looked unhappy. At that moment an elderly woman came up and asked her a question about the payment, she also answered unkindly. We left a little shocked and realized everything after we had previously been in a good mood, but after that it was spoiled. I have never encountered such service in this cafe, I always liked this place and the staff. As in principle, it is unusual to see such service in Ireland after many years of living here. I very often visit different coffee shops and restaurants in the city and this is the first time I encountered such low level of service.

07/08/2025: I do love having a cup of coffee with a nice piece of pastry or a nice salad in the backyard on a sunny day here

11/10/2025: Friendly staff and great food - easy, mixed menu. Everything ordered was on point. Cool place to hang out

09/06/2025: Absolutely lovely wee place, my boyfriend and I ordered a portion of chips and some drinks and both were excellent. The staff are so friendly and polite, and made you feel so welcome. We would definitely recommend.

04/10/2025: Great food and service. Staff always go above and beyond for you to make your visit special.

06/09/2025: Such a shame after my previous 5 stars 3 years ago and thousands of euros spent (checked with my bank). Food / Drink: - Steak sandwich chewy and tasteless. Pepper sauce was like water - Burger dry, bun crumbing, cheap chips from freezer - Fish underdone, batter strangely orange, chips as above - Guinness good, peppermint tea horrible - we asked for water top up, had to ask 2 more times Service: apart from the tea situation, average at best. Toilet cleanliness was appalling both gents and ladies. Atmosphere: Unlike in the past when we were guided to the table, this time it was "wherever you like". Started fine at first, maybe because we were positively biased, and then football match was blasted to the max. Not a chance for a conversation. I honestly hope this feedback will be taken into consideration. We live near Bray and every time we were anywhere in the triangle of Tallaght/Phoenix Park//Blanch we would chose Carrolls in the past. Same for my business guests from US/UK. Not anymore.

29/08/2025: Real country pub this, extremely popular and well-founded on why. I've been here twice, and on both occasions I had the bacon cheeseburger. Its one of the best burgers I have ever eaten, and extremely filling. The staff are fantastic and the service is great. 10 on 10 for the rusty!

24/08/2025: Sorry but waited nearly 40 minutes for table got a table then waited 15 mins or more for our orders to be taken nobody came so we walked out no one seemed to know what they were doing

24/10/2025: We’re staying at the Manor house. We came here for lunch. It was about 1:30pm when we arrived. It was very slow and quiet. We were sat on the enclosed patio. They have both heaters and throw blankets for the tables. It was a bit colder on the patio (45F and rainy), so the blanket helped. The views are beautiful from the patio. We ordered the tandoori chicken wrap, the soup of the day, which comes with Guinness bread, the burrata and tomato salad, and a side of sweet potato fries. I like that they offer the fries extra crispy or soft. I requested extra crispy. Everything was good except for the Burrata salad. It was plain and bland. I should have asked for some balsamic vinaigrette but the waitress was busy with another table. I liked the sweet potato fries. I should have just ordered them and skipped the salad. The meal was too big. I got the burrata salad to go. They don’t have any plastic utensils, which is good. I was able to get a fork at the Manor house. My husband liked his wrap and chips. He finished everything. Altogether our meal was about €50. I would return again. I actually prefer their lunch menu to the dinner menu. More options for a lighter meal.

22/10/2025: good food with a distinct scenic views

14/10/2025: Ordered a cake for my nieces birthday and it was absolutely perfect! All of the ingredients were super fresh and it was a real crowd pleaser..highly recommend Gourmet Tart!

20/09/2025: Great coffee shop, lots of space to hang out, great coffee and lots of delicious food.
