Top Cake shops in Dublin 8, Ireland

This is not the Mannings I knew as a child . And certainly not what my Nan and Mam would have known. I went in this evening at 4:40 , doors open and customers finishing of there food . I went in for a birthday cake (any cake that I could see and takeaway) I said to the lady behind the counter that I’ll have that large slice of cake and she replied that they are closed. I looked around to see people still eating and said , I’ll buy it and go ! She said she was too busy cleaning up . There was 3 employees behind the counter. So I said , It’s a birthday cake (Adult) and I won’t get one this late anywhere else, so could one of you please give me that slice , I’ll pay and I’ll be gone . Completely ignored by all three . I actually told her it was for a child so she might give it to me but no . 1 of the staff agreed to serve me and was about to put it in a box when 4 people walked in and asked for something. We were all asked to leave and my cake was put back on the shelf while customers were still eating !

If you’re closing time is 4:30
Lock your bloody doors !
No Empathy !

Called in for breakfast with the kids. We all had the breakfast sandwich. The staff were all lovely and the food & coffee were beautiful. The only downside was I was too full to try a cake!

Great place in Dublin. Great food. Amazing cakes. Staff is brilliant and had good energy. Efficient.

We recently ordered a birthday cake (Red Velvet Cake). But, honestly it wasn't great. There was too much icing which was too sweet and salty. The sponge appeard to be hard. We have had taken cake pieces many times from Blanch shop and loved it every time. This one was absolutely not a great experience.

Vegetable soup, chicken pesto sandwich, cappuccino, orange juice. I wish my stomach was bigger. All amazing! But the staff. Beautiful smile, so friendly. I can’t say enough we enjoyed this little gem so much!

Excellent service and shop layout. Nice seating area and atmosphere. The breakfast was good quality. The coffee could have used some improvement, for an espresso it was very long, so a little watery (however, not bitter or sour in fairness). Overall, I would visit for a casual breakfast again.

You have to try the fresh Dutch apple pie with cream made by the wonderful Dutch owner. Apples, cinnamon, and raisins; divinely delicious. Glad I returned after initially walking in and out. It was a staff member's warm smile and positive energy that brought me back for an Americano made with love.

Nice place for coffee and cakes. The Irish brown soda bread is also highly recommended. Stopped by here for breakfast a couple of morning. Good coffee.

Lovely place near St Patrick's church. Good, coffee, good food and better staff. Nice and caring people that will make your day a little bit better. We really loved the music and the decorations too.
Oh, and ask for the soup and sandwich offer, you won't regret!!

It was a good experience. We ate Oreo cake, wonderful taste, great texture, slice a bit small for the price paid. Toilets were not a good experience as they could have been cleaner.

Absolutely amazing service, and delicious food. Loved the atmosphere, it warms your heart and belly visiting this place. Cheers

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a charming bakery called Manning in Dublin. As a lover of pastries and all things sweet, I was delighted by their exquisite selection of patisserie delights. The cakes at Manning are truly a work of art, showcasing both exceptional craftsmanship and a mouthwatering taste.
If you have a sweet tooth and appreciate the artistry of patisserie, make sure to stop by Manning and indulge in their delectable creations.

Not only the place is really nice and cozy but the staff is really charming and friendly. Definitely a place to visit/come back!

All-day breakfast is a wonderful option, my scrambled eggs with sausage and bacon were tasty, I also enjoyed a coffee and a freshly made juice. All the ladies running the store were very friendly and the prices are reasonable. I’d be happy to come over again.

Discovered this gem on the walk to the Guinness Storehouse. Stopped by for a coffee and admired the selection of food and cakes. Therefore, on the way back, we had to get lunch. A gorgeous toasted club we had along with cakes. Delicious 😋

Nice little place just minutes from St. Patrick’s Cathedral. I stopped in before my visit there for a latte and its goat cheese and tomato panini sandwich. Really delicious. Very kind staff. Good people.
