Amazing breakfast wraps - Edit
I was in Dublin this week with and this place was a block from my hotel. As the only vegan in the group I was grateful to have such a delicious place nearby.

Amazing for breakfast & lunch - Edit
We went here on the last day of our trip, kind of wish we could have gone twice. We had different wraps and cinnamon rolls each, and were both blown away by the taste. The coffee tasted amazing, too. The staff were very friendly as well. The only drawback I can see is the location, where you are sitting right next to the street so you can hear the traffic (but there’s a plexi barrier in between).

Great exp. - Edit
Awesome cinnamon rolls and wraps, only critique is that this place doesn't boycott Coca Cola, I mean we're in in Ireland and this place is progressive for god's sake

Good vegan lunch place - Edit
We ate there twice while in Dublin on vacation. Popular vegan spot with a few tables. Order at the counter and they bring it to you.. I liked the Korean wrap much better than the Reuben: funny I usually go for Reuben’s but this was the first time I had once with seitan and I am not a fan. My wife liked the capriesce. Will try the tofu breakfast wrap next time which gets good reviews.. We did not try pastries but they looked great.

Great little vegan shop in the heart of Dublin - Edit
The cinnamon rolls were amazing! We actually picked up the Reuben sandwich and Korean bbq seitan wrap for our flight back to the states since it’s so hard to get any decent vegan food with airlines. Friendly staff, great food!

Delicious food, friendly people - Edit
I enjoyed the Ruben toastie which was the first toastie, in 5yrs of being vegan!, that really tasted like a real one! It was delicious and filling. I also tried the Biscoff cinnamon roll (tasty and melted in your mouth), the chocolate cookie was fresh, soft and had chocolate chunks and I had the cookies and cream overnight oats the next day - me and my cat loved it!
Read moreThe people working there were so friendly and nice and it was a very popular place. There were also wraps and the coffee was good. I can't wait to go back!
Pros: Yummy Ruben toastie, Life affirming black coffee, Amazing range of cinnamon buns

Great sandwich and treat spot - Edit
We were hungry while out and about mid day and split the Korean BBQ wrap and double chocolate chip cookie between two people. The seitan had a good texture and the wrap was expertly grilled and had a nice flavour profile (though it wasn’t as spicy as I might have expected based on my own Korean cooking). The cookie was perfect in fudgey-ness. The cinnamon rolls look amazing so I will have to go back! So happy that my first meal in Dublin was from a vegan shop.

The *best* vegan cinnamon roll - Edit
We got the cream cheese cinnamon roll and the pistachio matcha cookie - amazing!! The cream cheese cinnamon roll is maybe the best cinnamon roll I've ever had and definitely the best vegan cinnamon roll I've ever had!
Read moreMy husband and I ate the matcha pistachio cookie nearly 10 hours after we bought it and it was still chewy and we both agreed it was likely the best cookie either of us have ever had - SO GOOD!!!!!!
The cafe is also very cute, apparently the coffee is amazing, and I love the pink mugs. I can't wait to try lunch here.

Best cinnamon buns EVER!!! - Edit
Gave this place 5* purely on their cinnamon buns alone lol! The wraps & cookies were great too I must say. The buns are more filling than you’d imagine so make sure you leave plenty of room.
Read moreYou have to visit this place even if it’s just to take a bun back to your hotel room. You’ll thank me for it.
Pros: Cinnamon buns to die for. , Other food was decent too that I had. , Friendly staff
Cons: Could do with sprucing up a tad
