Stopped by for a coffee and ended up grabbing a croissant too. That thing was genuinely flaky, proper butter taste. One of the better ones I&#39;ve had around here, no messing. Latte was grand as well. Handy having the shop right there for a few bits after. Place was busy enough but moved along fine.

Stopped in for a proper Irish breakfast and it hit the spot. Black pudding was done just right, not greasy at all. Place is easy to miss if you&#39;re not looking for it, tucked near the old market. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush us even though it was busy enough. Only thing, coffee could&#39;ve been hotter. But I&#39;d go back for the fry-up alone.

The festive afternoon tea was solid&mdash;good food, cosy spot, and the server was patient. Hot drinks kept coming, which helped.

The deli section&rsquo;s a nice touch&mdash;grabbed some Italian wine while I was there. Croque monsieur was solid, staff were lovely.

Been coming here for a while now, and the eggs Benedict never miss. Had them again at brunch last Sunday, still as good as the first time. Staff are sound, always make room for us even when it&#39;s packed. Place is big enough that you&#39;re not sitting on top of each other either. Consistent, that&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying way longer than planned. The vibe is just really chill, you know? Good spot to meet a friend or even just sit by yourself for a bit. Didn&#39;t try any food but the drink was solid. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back here again sometime.

Solid gluten-free options here. Staff sorted us out with homemade bread and adapted the breakfast no hassle. Sausages were the best part.

The potato cakes were lovely - crispy outside, soft in the middle. I went for the vegan one with mushrooms and it was proper tasty. Really comforting food, the kind you&#39;d want on a chilly day. Place itself is small but cosy. Only thing is the seating&#39;s a bit tight, but I&#39;d still pop back in.

Stopped here for a coffee and pastry the other morning. The outdoor benches get proper sun, which was deadly. Dog-friendly too, which is always a win. Coffee was solid, pastry was grand. Only thing is it can get a bit busy, but worth it.

Dariusz and Maria are the real deal&mdash;proper friendly, made me feel right at home. Coffee was decent too, but the service is what I&rsquo;d come back for.

Stumbled in here on a cold afternoon and honestly didn&rsquo;t want to leave. The window seat was perfect for people-watching while I had a pot of tea and a slice of lemon cake. Place is small but really well lit, not one of those dark cramped spots. Only thing is it got a bit busy around 3pm, but still worth grabbing a seat if you can.

Stopped in for a late lunch and grabbed a seat by the window. The place is bright, plenty of room between tables. Had the grilled fish&mdash;cooked properly, flaky, no complaints. Staff were friendly without hovering. Pairing it with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc worked well, though the glass was a bit small for the price. Solid enough if you&#39;re in the area and want a relaxed bite.

Came in with a wheelchair, staff moved tables around without me even asking. That was decent. Pancakes were good, fluffy enough. Got a second plate, no regrets. Place isn&#39;t big but they made it work. Fine for a casual breakfast stop.

The build-your-own pancakes are the way to go. Got a decent stack for the price, and the toppings were spread properly through every layer, not just dumped on top. They even do a gluten-free version, which is handy. Portion was solid for what you pay. No complaints there.

Been coming here for a while now, and the coffee&#39;s still spot on. Staff actually know what they&#39;re doing, happy to chat about beans if you&#39;re into that. Nice spot to just sit by the window and watch the street. Not the cheapest, but you pay for the quality. Always leaves me sorted for the rest of the day.

Service was a bit hit or miss &mdash; one guy was lovely, another seemed like he&#39;d rather be anywhere else. Food and vibe made up for it though.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying way longer than planned. That bookshelf wall is a nice touch, gives the place a proper snug feel. Had the lemon poppy seed cake with a flat white&mdash;cake was decent, not too sweet. Would&#39;ve liked a glass of wine instead but they seemed more geared towards the coffee crowd. Solid enough spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Came in for a late breakfast on Sunday and got seated right away, which surprised me. Food was lovely, service quick, but it was loud enough that I put my headphones on just to enjoy my coffee in peace.

The carrot cake really stood out &mdash; fresh and not overly sweet. Brownie was good too. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality matches. Courtyard seating is nice, though the garden chairs could use more cushioning.

Decent spot on South William Street. The Ethiopian cappuccino was rich and nutty, nice for a slow Saturday morning. Steps out front are good for people-watching.

The pistachio croissant was the standout &mdash; flaky, not too sweet. Matcha was decent too. Nice bright spot by the water, easy to sit and chill for a bit.

Great playlist and the service was spot on. Burger came out a bit small for the price, but the wine list had a few solid picks that paired well. Nice spot for a relaxed bite.

Stopped in for coffee and a slice of cake&mdash;the place itself is the real reason to go. Building&#39;s been here for centuries and they&#39;ve kept it lovely. Coffee was decent, nothing wild, but the staff knew the history and were happy to chat about it. Worth a look if you&#39;re passing through.

Solid feed for the price, the full Irish was decent and the coffee came quick. Portion was big enough that I skipped lunch after. Wouldn&#39;t say it&#39;s fancy, but it does the job.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. Flat white was solid, and the scrambled eggs on sourdough came out hot with a decent portion. Place was busy but not chaotic. Staff let me sit without rushing me. Rathmines needed something like this.

The matcha was proper&mdash;strong without being bitter, just how I like it. They open early enough that I could grab a cup before work without rushing. Sat near the window for a bit, chairs were decently comfortable for a quick stop. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t hover. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Had the halloumi sandwich &mdash; crispy cheese, fresh stuff in it. Pretty good overall. Place has a nice relaxed vibe, staff were sound. Maybe a bit slow getting the bill, but no big deal. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area.
