Top Breakfast restaurants in Dublin 1, Ireland

I ate breakfast there and was impressed with the variety and quality of the food. The staff was great, it was my first time visiting the place and they explained the promos, and the options between bagels, paninis, wraps, etc. The food (Buenos dias panini) and coffee arrived hot and it was delicious. Very good experience, I will definitely return.

Having spent a few hours in the nearby EPIC Museum it was nice time for a drink and a bite to eat. We thought that we would try this place out as it was close at hand. Here, you give your order at the counter and the drinks and food are brought over to you.

I ordered the Thai Red Curry which was prepared in an unusual way but quite tasty as well as filling. My son had the extra grilled chicken and we washed this down with both a large mango kick and large "wake up". All good if rather pricey. We paid just under 30€ in total. We sat outside in the covered atrium which ensured that we were protected from any inclement weather.

It being close to 17:00 by the time we had finished the place had closed up and the door were locked. No problems. For washrooms we used the very clean and modern ones in the covered precinct.

We came here for lunch following our EPIC tour. The menu was so varied it was difficult to choose! But the staff were 5stars not the food, because my young sons didn't like his choice. They noticed after I had bought something else and came up to us twice to wrap the food and offer a free yummy smoothie for him. First class service. Definitely recommend for food but also high level of service.

They don’t mess around with food. Best meal I’ve had in a while, nicest staff, best food, fully recommended.

We got an Irish breakfast, crepe with strawberries, mocha and green tea. I was quite disappointed than there was no ice scream on any available crepes. Service was fast. It is good place to stop by if around.

I adored this little cozy cafe during my stay in Dublin. It reminded me of a place I used to work, but cozier. The French toast was the best. I enjoyed the natural elements in the decorations, simple and original. The people working were all super nice and you could see they gave the place their all. The street was slightly beat up, so the cafe was a nice place to hide away, to seek refuge in a friendly and safe atmosphere. Thank you.

The food was great. Had the chicken curry. I didn't appreciate how the staff rushed us to finish because the store was closing in 20 minutes when I was there, but I didn't let that take away the tastiness of the food. Just make sure you come plenty early I guess!

A nice place where you can enjoy drinking or eating with friends. We tasted the cheesecake that was not as we expected. However, the monkey business was so delicious. Besides, the coffees that we drank were spectacular as well, above all the pictures on the top. I would recommend this cafe.

Well it looks much better on the reviews as it actually is. That is 8 Eur Sandwitch. No sitting place at all.

WARNING: If you have an allergy do not go to this establishment!

Went in today with my partner, we got a couple of drinks from the fridge and a rocky road. I looked at the sign identifying that it was rocky road and there were no warnings for a nuts or other allergens. However, once upon biting into the product, it was clear that it contained peanuts. I have a severe nut allergy if nuts are consumed, luckily I caught this early and managed to spit it out and clear my mouth before I had swallowed. I went back into the establishment to check if I had misread the signage, however It still didn't state that the product had nuts in it. I asked the server if he was aware the product had nuts in it, he wasn't even aware that it did. Terrible. Luckily this time I was able to clear the nuts before consumption, next time it may be something much worse than a poor Google review, anaphylaxis is common with nut allergens and if someone isn't carrying their epipen this could result in death.

Please label your food items with basic allergin information as is the legal requirement and inform all servers of products that contain common allergens as is the legal requirement.

Pretty disappointed. Partner and I ordered the same time but hers came out 15 minutes before mine. They put our orders on separate chits? Why do that?

10.50 for a ham and cheese sandwich that's actually Croque Monsieur with the egg on the top. No onions or mustard like there was supposed to be.

We loved this place for breakfast. It was very close to our Hotel. It was a delicious Irish breakfast at a fair price. It is a very cozy place. Great coffee as well!

On a recent visit to Lemon Jelly Cafe, we were treated to an undeniably delicious breakfast experience. The cafe's English Breakfast and crepes were simply delightful, expertly prepared, and served in a way that has forever defined how perfect a morning meal should be.

I am compelled to mention their banana shake, an absolute explosion of fresh, creamy banana goodness, and one of the best I've ever had. Notably, their almond croissant stood out - it was divine, boasting a perfect balance of fluffiness and crunch, with a generous layer of almonds with a pinch of cinnamon adding an irresistible touch.

While the quality of food and service are beyond compare, be prepared for the possibility of a wait. The cafe's demand often results in a queue, particularly during peak hours. Despite this, I assure you that the wait is very much worth it!!!

I was a little disappointed, as while the Brioche French toast with the thick syrup was very good, one of the two was mushy in the middle from being undercooked, and the scrambled eggs and bacon were a little overcooked. (I should have ordered the eggs fried as another guest had them and they looked good). The staff was nice and service was good. However I got a Biscoff muffin to go, and it was very good! Maybe we went on an off day? Don't let my review keep you from trying it, perhaps.

This morning, I visited Lemon Jelly for breakfast with my friend, and our experience was a mix of delight and unexpected surprises. I opted for the Full Irish Breakfast, while my friend chose the Vegetarian Irish Breakfast. The ambiance was welcoming, and the service was prompt.

The Full Irish Breakfast was a hearty plate with all the traditional elements – eggs, sausage, bacon, black and white pudding, tomatoes, and toast. The flavors were robust, and the presentation was appealing. However, the absence of Kerrygold butter was an unexpected letdown. Given the reputation of this establishment, I had anticipated this Irish staple to accompany the meal.

My friend’s Vegetarian Irish Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. The inventive use of plant-based alternatives showcased the chef's creativity. The dish had a medley of grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, vegetarian sausage, and eggs, offering a satisfying and flavorful option for non-meat eaters.

Despite the minor setback with the butter selection, Lemon Jelly's breakfast menu proves to be a diverse and tasty offering, catering to both traditional and vegetarian preferences. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was conducive to a leisurely morning catch-up. I would recommend Lemon Jelly for those seeking a well-prepared breakfast with a twist, but perhaps with a gentle reminder to the management about the allure of Kerrygold butter for those craving an authentic Irish touch.

We tried breakfast here while visiting Dublin. My mom had the eggs Benedict and I had toast and bacon with a side of eggs plus an almond milk latte. We went when they first opened so it wasn’t crowded and we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The food was good and the servers were welcoming and attentive. The only thing I didn’t like was that they were baskets filled with silverware laying on the table and everyone help themselves. Since we were the first people of the day, it was OK, but with Covid it didn’t feel the most safe if you were to be eating later in the day. Otherwise, it was a great stop in our journey, and I would recommend!

Great breakfast diner in the heart of the city. Good size portions tasting delicious .
Great ambience and friendly staff.

Quite honestly the worst sausage I’ve had in my life. 7.5€ for untoasted white bread with a barely cooked sausage. I couldn’t even eat more than two bites. The halloumi sandwich was marginally better but really not much flavour. I have to go get another breakfast now. The staff was friendly and they throw in two sub par mini chocolate muffins.

This place was great. The staff is super friendly. One waiter(manager?) actually went and printed a map and marked it with day hiking trips for
Me. The guy who seats everyone(Latino?) in am, remembers you and greats you like a long time customer. He is always checking to make sure your taken care off. The food is plentiful, cheap and the menu is large. It’s on a big walkway so great people watching at outdoor tables or window seats. Great homey place.

Sorry for the poor photo but I didn’t take one before I started and the chicken curry was so good I had to leave a review before I even finished it. Fantastic fresh ingredients and tasty too.

I was attracted to this cafe for its look and also because the first time I passed by it was packed. I came back the next day and had a chicken and cheddar omelette made to perfection, with a couple toast and butter so that was my lunch. They have an extensive menu and everything I saw around me looked just yummy, but I was too full to have dessert. The staff was friendly and I also liked that they have an open kitchen and you can see while they cook. All in all I think they offer good value for money and the place is pleasant to be in.

The girl in the service was extremely lovely. Very nice service, appreciate the effort, it must have come from her heart, personality, being so nice on the bank holiday Sunday before closing.
Cakes. The aesthetics are a good. I bought one, which is a Napoleon cake clone, but so far from it, it's difficult to describe...The other one is a rum- choco cake, but the sweetener/ sugar/black strap is so overpowering the cake looses its identity. Not good. Period.
Someone who never had these kind of cakes might think they are very nice, but honestly these were below average. For €5.5 it's a joke.
However, as it's a very busy street, with lots of tourists I wish all the best for the shop!
Atmosphere is unfortunate as the shop is on Talbot Street.
Anyhow, thanks for the nice server girl.

Fast and good. Well made cappuccino with nice service. The avocado toast with poached eggs and as made artfully and tasted great. I would ask for light parmigiana cheese. The eggs were runny and well poached. I added a side of crispy bacon

Alright food. Nice atmosphere. Service was fine. Picked this place as an alternative over Starbucks and very pleased we did - far better for a quick bite.

They were overwhelmed the day of Pride and we wish they had just told us the kitchen was backed up so we could have made other choices. We never got one of our breakfast orders. But the staff was super friendly and coffee was good.

Breakfast was amazing. The French Toast with Irish Bacon tasted so good, and the coffee was wonderful. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. The staff was very patient with our questions. Ambiance was charming. Seating was casual and comfortable. Prices were reasonable.

I have been meaning to visit this cafe for a long time now, finally was near spire and made an impromptu decision to go. Very cute little cafe almost hidden away, 3min from the spire

They had the most delicious looking pastries on display. We got waffles, coffee and cake. Waffles felt a bit dry, coffee was amazing and the cake/pastry was fresh and fantastic. Not sure what I got but I think it was Italian?

Only sad thing is they don’t serve matcha latte and you have to order and pay at the counter. Menu has lots of options, Loved the place and will come back

We went on the bank holiday weekend. We waited about 30 minutes for our food and about 25 minutes to be seated. It was a long wait but the food was lovely. The French toast was amazing, The vege breakfast and good and so was the avocado on bread ( you only get one slice though) . If you are really hungry I would say none of it would really fill you up but we were fine as we got 3 things to share between 2 won't fill you up. Everything was lovely but the long wait was really off putting.

Service was great aswell

Great location. Ordered the Texas Chilli Beef from Seven Wonders. Great ambience and atmosphere.

It had a very nice modern feminine presentation with tones of pink and light blue decorations. Despite the promising presentation the coffee was quite bland. The barista on this particular day was clearly playing favorites and skipped my order completely to serve the „regulars“. In fact, I watched him throw my ticket in the trash and didn’t make mine until I inquired on its status. Then when did make my latte he used a milk pitcher that he had previously used for oat milk and the flavor was clearly present. It gets an „A“ for presentation but sadly an „F“ for quality and service.

Enjoy the food and coffee. It comes with a cookie. Nice touch. Hot chocolate was good and cheaper than similar size coffee. Found interesting the old cinema seats. Gives it some uniqueness. I liked it

Loved the place! Tried their coffee and (wow) free cup cake that they give as the complement - have to say it gave a great start to my day. My wife has been a regular here for sometime and loves the place. All in all, a great little cafe.

This has to be the worst breakfast i have ever eaten - over priced @ €12:50 and looked like it came straight from £ub₩ay - the food was such poor quality it repeated on me all day long - i will never eat here again 🤑

Lovely place for a quick lunch during your break, if you're working in the area, great menu and freshly prepared food, highly recommend this place

Service was amazing!! We were a large group and they were so friendly when accommodating to our needs. The sandwiches were good as well as the porridge and vegan breakfast!

Bang average I’m afraid! I took two friends for breakfast (one for his birthday) and it wasn’t for us.
There was a 20 minute wait but to be fair we did walk up with no reservation and to the credit of front of house the extremely polite and courteous blonde lady was keeping up to date on progress.
I ordered oats which was stone cold and my tea was luke warm.
My friends had the full breakfast but confirmed to me it was average at best.
Such a shame really as on paper this should be a good spot. Not for us.
A star for the front of house and a star for the mini muffin.
The hunt for a solid full’Irish’ breakfast continues!

Absolutely love this place! One of the best breakfasts in Dublin. The skillet is amazing with very good flavours of black and white pudding. Friend had a stack of pancakes and they looked amazing and tasted even better. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Always the first place to go if I’m in Dublin early morning. Can’t wait to go back!

Great place to chill out in the afternoon after the manic lunch rush hour has gone. City workers back to their cubicles, The Bakehouse can then be enjoyed by tourists and freelancers like me. Nice background music, good coffee and cakes. I had a mini doughnut, cute and delicious. I didn't know that my cappuccino came with a mini chocolate cupcake, bonus! (Plus, free CHQ WiFi, my life is complete)

This place is one of Dublin's hidden gems when it comes to breakfast.

The location is very central and allows for it to be easily found. The restaurant itself isn't very big but they can fit a lot of people with the space they have. The staff is also very friendly and even though they work at a fast pace, are attentive.

The food is amazing. I had the skillet breakfast and my friend had a bacon plate - unfortunately I don't remember the exact name. We also shared an order of the pancakes. Our favorite item (as ironic as it is) were the potatoes - I don't know how they're cooked but they're perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside without being too hot or too dry.

I highly recommend coming here if you're considering it. The skillet plate also does an amazing job of giving a new spin on the typical Irish breakfast while reaching new levels of flavor.

Walked by this place a few times curiously and fancied something semi healthy so went in and ordered the power lunch which is described as egg fried organic brown rice, carrots, tamari soy marinated chicken, garden peas. It was extremely busy and was told I would have to wait 15 minutes I ended up waiting just under 25 which was a but if a pain because by the time I get back to work I'd only have about 15 minutes to eat it. But that's just a thing you have to accept when the food is this good, it's a failing if it's own popularity which isn't necessarily a bad thing just for hungry grubs like myself with a bit of a time crisis. I really enjoyed the the fried rice it was really flaky and Al dente perfectly cooked! They weren't shy with the chicken a piece with every bite! My only critism would be it was a bit heavy handed on the soy, alternatively they could add something sweet and crisp for texture. Overall I would recommend trying this place out if your close by and on lunch, just bare in mind it will be busy!
