I had a fantastic brunch at Balfes! The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. The staff were welcoming and made us feel right at home.

Good coffee and the staff were lovely. Place is small but cosy enough. Had a sandwich and it did the job. Fine for a quick coffee stop in Dublin.

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.

Turkish eggs were spot on, pancakes fluffy too. Place was packed but the staff kept it together, coffee came out quick and strong. Only gripe, we waited a bit for a table but that&#39;s on us for showing up late. Solid spot for brunch, I&#39;d go back.

Food was decent enough, but service dragged a bit. We sat outside and the terrace felt dead, no buzz at all. Had the fish and chips, it did the job. Maybe it was just an off night. I&#39;d try it again on a quieter day, but I wouldn&#39;t rush back.

Been coming here for a while now and the staff still remember my usual order. They sorted out a mix-up last time without any fuss, even threw in a free meal. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

BBQ wings were unreal, sweet potato fries spot on. Got busy so service lagged a bit, but worth it.

The California sandwich with chicken tenders is honestly the best I&#39;ve had in Dublin. Chicken stays juicy, not dry at all. Staff were sound too. Only thing is the place gets busy around lunch, so you might wait a bit. But worth it for the sandwich.

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.

Steak was spot on, that gremolata really made it. Seafood pasta was decent too. Bit pricey maybe but I&#39;d go back for the steak.

The green omelette was decent, pulled pork Benedict pretty good too. Salted caramel coffee was the highlight. Pricey enough, but fine for the quality.

The staff really looked out for me&mdash;one guy stepped in when a panhandler wouldn&#39;t leave me alone. That kind of attention means a lot. Donuts were fresh and tasty, exactly what I needed. Just wish there were more seating, but I&rsquo;d still stop by again.

Solid bagel, latte was actually good. WiFi held up fine while I was there. Seating&#39;s tight though, barely any outlets if you&#39;re planning to camp out with a laptop. Fine for a quick stop, not for a work session.

The open kitchen really makes the place feel alive. Pizzas have that proper crispy-chewy crust, no complaints there. Service kept up fine even when it got busy on a Saturday. Only thing is the seating near the counter gets a bit cramped, but it&rsquo;s alright for a quick bite.

Been coming here for years, the NY slices never miss. Just grab one fresh from the window, you&#39;re set.

Stopped in for a drink and tried the Christmas gin with the strawberry swirl&mdash;lovely. Paloma was good too. Prices are a bit steep for the size, but you&#39;re paying for the vibe.

Service was spot on even with the place rammed. They sorted our group of 12 without a fuss, everyone got looked after. Honestly, that kind of efficiency makes me want to come back.

Came here with a group of 8 and honestly the service was the standout. Staff were dead friendly and didn&#39;t mess around even though we were a big crowd. Food was grand, nothing mad but solid. Only thing was the soda from the machine tasted a bit off. Wouldn&#39;t put me off going back though.

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

Been coming here for years and the pizza&#39;s still decent - nice and thin, proper Italian style. The lemon meringue pie was a good shout too. Service is always fine.
