The food and the spot is spectacular ! I am so happy with the customer service too but the reason why I gave low starts is due to the hygiene in the cafe. They don't wear gloves and I even saw the woman making my sandwich wipe her nose with her hand and then proceeded to make my sandwich without washing her hand nor wearing gloves. That just made me swear off on ever going. If I ever do go back it would be for the desserts.

I have ordered 'Chocolate Guinness' cake online for my birthday and it was very delicious. Services were very prompt and they delivered it on time.

Like the concept and food is just nice but hygiene is not a priority for the team. No one wiped down used tables before next customers, so make sure you ask your server to disinfect your table before use. Walks , skirting boards and floor filthy which put me off my food so I couldn’t finish my dish. Sadly I won’t be returning.

I'm not sure if many tourists could find this place unless they knew where to look. We were walking about Dublin Wednesday, May 17, 2023, when we spied a used bookstore... cannot resist a bookstore, especially a used bookstore. As we were perusing the books we noticed a back door that opened onto a patio.... Heyyy! there's a coffee shop back there! Just what we wanted, coffee and cake. Found a table and we were waited on by a very pleasant young lady. Great place somewhat shaded with bamboo and tall bushes. The opposite wall with open studs was decorated with themed art, very creative!! Coffee and cake were great! When the bookstore is closed, the cafe can be accessed from the back alley. Very special place, don't miss it if in Dublin.
