Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Blackrock

“Working in Blackrock and looking for lunch I came across the Newscafe. Good basic food, great value, friendly service.”

“Small cafe, nice and cozy. Great sandwiches and good coffee, couldn’t ask for more. I spent an hour here while waiting for my passport to be released by the German embassy nearby.”

“I’m a regular Butlers costumer but recently I’ve been to Blackrock shop which I experienced a extraordinary costumer service. Besides the shop was nice and cleaned the service provided by the staff was very warm. So many thanks for the entire team and especially for the manager.”

“Excellent breakfast and sandwiches reasonably priced and friendly staff”

“I was in on the weekend and service was fabulous. The coffee was delicious and the staff are always so lovely making it such a nice vibe. Will definitely be making this my regular spot :))”

“I had a gift card that wasn't working so I was given my coffees for free. Didn't complain and offered to pay but was told the coffees were on the house because the gift card machine wasn't working. Great to see that the staff are so friendly and accomodating, will definitely be going back!”

“Visited on a weekday around 4pm for fish n chips in the cafe. The food was a fairly ok price for the area and for sit-down service. A cup of tea was expensive for what/where it was. The fish and chips tasted very nice. Traditional taste. Would visit again for this. The waitress with the dark hair was friendly. It is a 3 minute walk from the DARt station”

“all of the baristas here really know what they're doing. the coffee is great and the pastries from bread42 are to die for. must visit if you're in the area”

“Love coming to the Woodenspoon. Delicious wholesome food and great coffees. Steve and Mary and the rest of the staff are so friendly & hospitable. Very popular, so get there a little earlier for lunch. Rachel”

“Really great staff. Love their croissants - best around. Thanks all,. Peter and Scout (the Hound)”

“Good coffee, good selection of pastries. I think there are only two or three tables inside to sit, but there are also some tables and chairs outside. The staff was friendly.”

“I've visited The Grange for many family occasions over the years. It's an excellent spot. The carvery is one of the best I've ever had. The staff are all brilliant and the team consists of a wide range of ages and experience levels. All are more than happy to help. The pub itself is super cosy. The toilets are incredibly well maintained - absolutely spotless. Parking can be tricky during the daytime, but in the evenings, you'll usually find parking just across the road in the Super Valu carpark.”

“We were part of a group tour that used the upstairs group room. It was a good size. The staff did a wonderful job of attending to everyone. I had the beef stew and it was so flavorful. It is right up there with my mom's recipe--maybe a little better, but don't tell my mom!”

“A bisy and lively interesting bar in the middle of black rock, this bar is where rock shandy began years ago! The food and pints are top notch and the staff are friendly and helpful, the customers are friendly and chatty”

“I love this place. Honestly such great coffee that I’ve had over the past few months, and in large amounts too! Well priced for what you get. And such a nice little station that has cinnamon, chocolate, and even nutmeg shakes. Good bit of space inside and out, and real close to other useful places.”

“Great pints & chilled atmosphere Comfy sofas in the pub”

“Great service, fun atmosphere and fantastic food. Our server was friendly and fun, I always enjoy someone who talks to you like a person not just a customer, she even suggested a beer to my boyfriend that was called Fresh prince of Keldaire and he loved it…and the name :) I am a picky eater and the food was fantastic! I loved the setting, very pretty and fun. I highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Dublin, extremely happy we had our first night visiting dinner here!”

“Great spot! One small issue that the staff more than made up for, we had a brilliant time here! Staff are great and cocktails great too, I ca highly recommend the old fashioned!”

“5 star food 5 start staff would defo eat here again they do a epic carvery”

“Gave me free water after I dropped in a Starbucks card I found near Blackrock station, so for me this is a place that has heart. They also have a really nice balcony that overlooks the Irish Sea. Perfect spot to enjoy some water with ice.”

“Nice coffee and very friendly staff.”

“Lovely coffee!! Pizza fresh and made with love.”

“My local pub, great place, pool table, karaoke Thursday, great drinks and staff, lovely fireplace and always sport on TVs”
