Amazing breakfast wraps

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.

Pros: Breakfast wraps / cinnamon buns, Atmosphere , Coffee!

Lovely breakfast

The cinnamon buns are absolutely huge and so nice. I went for the cream cheese which was great. I also had an iced matcha which was one of the best I’ve ever had. There is only very limited seating so I took mine back to my hotel.😄

Sumptuous

Delicious food and great service. The staff were welcoming. I had the pesto mushroom toastie which was super tasty. The coffee was great too. I also had the pan de muerto which was excellent.

Really delicious sandwich and wrap options. The sweet buns were divine. Coffees are small though.

Café alternatif

Alors, sachez que l'endroit est MINUSCULE. On était contents d'arriver peu avant l'ouverture car c'était le rush. Heureusement, ils ont une terrasse mais les places sont limitées...
On a juste pris les cinnamon rolls qui sont énormes et goûtus mais toutefois assez légers.
Parfait pour commencer la journée. Les cafés sont bons.

Ce lieu est populaire et vite pris d'assaut. J'aurais bien aimé tester les toasts et le tofu brouillé au menu, ça me faisait de l'œil 👀 mais pas eu l'occasion...

Pros: 100% vegan

Cons: C'est très petit

Sweet little cafe

It’s a very small nice coffee place. They offer wraps, toasties and pastries. I had the mushroom and cheese toastie and it was delicious. The cookies are also very good. The place is quite small so takeaway is a safe bet.

Pros: Vegan

Cinnamon rolls were so good, i had breakfast there two days in a row. I just wish they had more drink variety but everything else is great

fav spot in Dublin

went there for breakfast three times, the cinammon buns are truly out of this world! cookies too! I was a bit disappointed with the savory stuff, like why not have some sauce with the toasts😒Sauce on the side is a human right ✊🏻 still love em tho

A vegan gem in Dublin

This is a fully vegan cafe, with an indoor bench and outdoor tables. The scrambled tofu wrap was one of the most flavorful breakfast tofu I have ever had. Vegan cinnamon rolls are their claim to fame, and they are amazing. They also make espresso drinks. The owners are kind and lovely people. Make sure you stop here if you are vegan and feel like delighting your palate.

Pros: Food is amazing, Owners are lovely people , Cafe is cozy

Okay but won’t go again

Was really looking forward to trying the food as it looked great but was disappointed with the Ruben as it was very dry and sharp, needed a mayo or something to smooth it out and customer service was also disappointing unfortunately.

Pros: Good amount of choice on menu, Great drink options

Cons: No toilets , I Felt like an inconvenience

Great little vegan cafe

Good food. Enormous pastries! Coffee was well made. Recommend to anyone (wanting a great vegan experience)! Seems like a popular place so tables might be taken. I got lucky and got the last empty one :D

Pros: Nice staff, Good food, Good coffee

Cons: Next to a busy road

Lovely lunch spot

Only small but very pleasant. The breakfast wrap was unbelievable and the chai latte wasn’t too bad either. Standard Dublin prices but I’m not gonna dock them points for that

Tasty but value so làlà

Ordered their Seitan + Pesto Wrap which tasted great! It was however quite small for 11€. Plus I don‘t get why you would shame people into tipping if there is no service included.
The café itself was quite small with about four tables on the outside and four chairs on a bench facing outside.

Pros: Taste , Friendly staff , Fully vegetarian Menu

Cons: Expensive , Tips „required“

Hi, thank you for your feedback and for visiting us! We’re glad you enjoyed the taste of the wrap.

Just to clarify about the tipping option: we don’t require tips at all, and there’s certainly no shame if you choose not to. The option is there simply because all of our food is made fully in-house, for example, the seitan in the wrap you had is made from scratch here, along with the pesto. Our kitchen staff receives tips (when given), so yes, there’s service.

Also, we are 100 vegan. Not vegetarian.

It's ok if you're in the area

I was really excited to visit, but it didn't really live up to its reputation. I wanted a coffee and something sweet, but it was just cookies or cinnamon buns.

Prices are on the expensive side, but portion size is quite big.

Theres a few savoury wraps as well.

Love it

The Seitan Pesto wrap was such a cool combo that tasted amazing and the cappuccino was the best one I had during my week in Dublin. We took some cinnamon rolls home as a dessert and they were SO fluffy and SO good! Wish I could go there a second time!

Tasty overall

A small sweet place, rather take away than eating in. Its possible, but not many places and more "nice weatherish". But the food was real good and filling!

I had the Korean BBQ Wrap and took some rolls and cookies for later.

A bit on the pricier side, but a nice treat :)

Mixed feelings

I had the reuben - I thought it was a small portion for the price, but I guess that's dublin. It was a tangier taste than other reubens I've had before - perhaps that's what other people like. I'll probably have something different next time though

What I did enjoy was the marshmallow cookie.

I'd like to try more of their stuff and then hopefully that could take it up to a 5star for me

Pros: Good selection of food

Cons: Small portions, Small space

Great place for breakfast

I had an amazing seitan Reuben toastie, my Other half had a gigantic cinnamon bun. There is seating inside and some outside, I can imagine this place gets really busy, and for a good reason. Highly recommend.

Pros: Toasties, Friendly
