BREAKFAST, BRUNCH AND LUNCH
Menu
We are fast becoming the most popular breakfast, brunch and lunch café in Dublin City. Our entire, extensive menu is served from 8am-6pm, seven days a week, which means those of you who love to lie-in can have our all-day breakfast anytime! All of our food is freshly made to order, in-house.
Our breakfast and brunch menus includes our own signature “Breakfast Club”, “Breakfast Burrito”, and our all-day “Full Irish Breakfast”. For anyone who is looking for a sweet treat, we have a range of sweet crepes, which also includes our delicious gluten-free crepes. We also serve a range of vegetarian and vegan breakfasts and brunch options.
For a much need hit of caffeine, we serve 3fe coffee. If you need a healthy boost, we also serve a range of cold-pressed juices and superfood smoothies by The Juicery Dublin which are all freshly made in-house.
So if you’re looking for a full Irish breakfast, a vegan brunch to start your weekend or sweet crepes for a Sunday treat, then look no further – we’ve got you covered!
