It was very nice here! The food was great, the server very attentive, and the dining area is very cute. I'd love the chance to visit again and dine on the upper floor because the décor there looked very nice as well. Would definitely recommend as a nice breakfast spot!

The food is good, serving sizes are sure to keep you full for quite a while. Seating space is generous as they have an upstairs seating area. I especially like their fresh juices. Would recommend and would definitely come back!

I asked the waitress about the portion of the crepes before ordering my brunch and she described it as you see in the review photos: “comes in a big plate, cut in two halves”. We settled it was large enough for a brunch, but when it came, it was only a very small crepe in one piece in a small plate. They seem to have cur down their sizes like every other greedy business these days. Unfortunately I didn’t take a photo but I had to stop by a restaurant a couple of hours after the brunch as I was starving.

Visited Dublin for the day and this was our first stop. The breakfast was stunning. We had the French toast, smoked salmon omelette which was just amazing and the full Irish breakfasts which my daughter said was one of the best she’d eaten and she considers herself a ‘ full English connoisseur’. Service was outstanding, felt very welcome. Before hand I messaged to ask directions and they were really helpful . Would highly recommend. Thanks guys for a great start to our trip.
