Dwyers Garden Café

"When we first came here, led by google maps, and realised this is a garden and home appliance shop with a cafe section, we hesitated but decided to give it a try. We’re glad we did because the sandwiches were tasty with fresh bread and nice combinations of ingredients. The tomato and basil soup was very nice too. The coffee was nicely made and presented. The barista has clearly had training and experience. We’ve enjoyed the lattes! Prices were very reasonable. €18.40 for a big sandwich, big soup and latte. The space is big and open which helps keep the noise down when it’s busy. They have tables at different levels including lower ones that suited us with an infant. The facilities included a changing table which we also appreciated. Easy listening 60’s music in the background that doesn’t crowd the space and provided a nice atmosphere. We’ve come back here every time we’re shopping around the south of the city. We noticed that the chef has changed up the sandwiches so thanks to him/her for keeping it interesting. Also handy when you need a few bits and bobs around the house and garden because the main shop is well stocked with nice staff. Great job by management and all the staff."

"I have just had a full Irish breakfast here.. it was a total winner in my opinion. Well cooked, well presented and the staff members are very attentive and professional. 14.95 is the price and that includes coffee/tea and toast. See you all soon.thanks"

"I was looking forward to trying here as the previous reviews were great but I really couldn’t see what all the fuss was about having visited there today. We arrived to an almost empty restaurant which was great, it was myself, husband and 3 small children. We found a seat, the place is quirky, decorated beautifully and spacious so far so good. My husband ordered at the counter, 3 kids smoothies, a Frappuccino, cappuccino, granola sundae, bagel with salmon and eggs Benedict, and scone and croissant for the kids to share with their smoothies. Positives - the coffees were lovely and the kids enjoyed their smoothies which were a good size My husband said the eggs Benedict were nice Negatives- the service wasn’t great. The place was pretty quiet but everything took ages and all came separately. So we were almost finished our food by the time the smoothies arrived. My daughter dropped a bit of her scone on the floor and the crumbs and dust underneath the table was awful. I can understand if it was later in the day and it had been used a few times but it looked like we were the first to sit at the table on the day. The granola sundae was inedible, it was basically toasted oats and spoonfuls of jam in a sundae glass with a little bit of yogurt in between. I asked my husband to go up to ask for a bit more yogurt as it was far too sweet but he was told that they had run out of yogurt. It was about 11am at this time… So overall a disappointing experience for almost €55 spent"

"Dwyers cafe is a gem! The food there is excellent, well priced and the setting is lovely. It is family friendly, there is plenty of space and colouring for the kids. Portions are generous but you can also go just for their delicious coffees and cakes! I would highly recommend."
