28/06/2026: Got a recommendation from a friend for this place and they were right to praise it: delicious food, engaged, attentive staff, and a cool, clean environment. I was able to make a booking at short notice, and I really appreciated that, especially given how busy it was. Its sister restaurant, next door, is just as good, too!

21/07/2026: Would highly recommend this trip. Passage East Ferry across to Ballyhack. A very smooth crossing and a beautiful sunny day which added to the adventure. Cars, Camper vans, football passenger all aboard. The Staff were very helpful directing all vehicles to their places. We paid 14e return for passengers and a car. Check times as it has different times during the year. Nice coffee shops etc and you can visit the light house. A fantastic beech you will encounter touring about, and one can drive along the beach. Lots of people enjoying the magnificent weather.Great scenery. Would highly recommend this trip.

14/07/2026: Cute neighbourhood cafe! Very nice to sit outside when it's sunny. Staff is super friendly. It's the only cafe I've been to in Dublin that serves iced drinks in a glass instead of a plastic cup, I was very happy to see that!! Huge green flag 💚

11/07/2026: Flat white was fine, had a better one at Grindstone Specialty a few blocks away. Think this place is better for its food than its coffee just based on observation.

11/06/2026: Such a cute little coffee shop/bakery by the sea! Got a raspberry coconut croissant and it was truly the best pastry I’ve ever had in my life. The cruffin was good too, but the croissant was better. The toastie was insanely good too.
