A very nice cafe where you can apparently eat "the best Irish breakfast". Well we're not from Dublin so we had to try it. There was a very long queue waiting to be seated at 10:30am. We had to wait like 30 minutes to have a table outside. It was really sunny this morning so it was pretty nice but I think that it's inside of the cafe that you can live the full experience. I just went to pay and it was so lively and charming. The Irish breakfast was truly nice. We had an egg (sunny side up, my fav), sausages well grilled, baked beans (not too sugary. They were perfect for me), bacon, white and black pudding and bread. Everything was tasty, nicely cooked and I had a wonderful time. I was full for like 8 hours so it was more like a brunch than a breakfast for me, but I have quite a small appetite. My boyfriend wanted a cookie 4 hours after so I suppose it depends. The waiters were really nice, especially the one at the counter. The prices were quite okay I guess. 13€ for an Irish breakfast. It used to be less expensive but it was like 5 years ago so it's understandable. I recommend it!

Very lovely experience!

We stumbled upon this place on accident and had the best time. The staff are hilarious, incredibly quick-witted, and so welcoming. The locals who dine there were charming and friendly as well. We laughed a ton and loved the food, too. As a foreigner, it was the perfect welcome to Dublin and a fantastic start to our trip. Thanks all at the Stage Door Cafe!

Came here because of the so many great reviews. Don't get me wrong, I've had horrible experience in places with 5*reviews. Nevermind, the reviews do justice to this cozy coffee shop. Service was, somehow different, efficient and friendly. Food was fantastic. Humble but inviting place. All in all, good to add another 5* to this place. So we'll deserved!

Instantly felt so welcome. What a guy the owner is! So bubbly, attentive and hilarious! The coffee was strong and amazing. Food was lovely too. Great little authentic irish cafe. We left with a list of recommended bars to try and a little bit warmer after a drop of complimentary whiskey!

Smashing Irish breakfast, gorgeous irish coffee, very friendly staff. Cosy little place, authentically different, with a style of their own. Worth a visit.

Amazing place. Delicious breakfast, great atmosphere!

After reading so many reviews, I decided that The Stage Door would be my first stop for my first meal in Ireland. I have to say the meal did not disappoint. It was hearty and delicious. The beans were my favorite part! The staff were welcoming and extremely funny. They gave us a few pub recommendations to visit while we were here and I have to say it was a great start of our vacation in Ireland.

Best little cafe in Dublin! Opens early! Really great Irish Breakfast and best Irish coffee! Alan is awesome and fun! Great atmosphere! Ask about the 100 yes old confessional panels.

Great cafe! It’s a worthy place to start your day - an Irish breakfast, an Irish coffee, and a little humor from the chef himself. Fun atmosphere and just what you need on your trip to Dublin.

Great breakfast experience. Food wonderful - service excellent - value for money outstanding. We had the full Irish and the bacon and brie open sandwich. Would thoroughly recommend.

This is my go to place for breakfast everytime I am in Dublin. The welcoming is warm and friendly, and the breakfast really is the best in Dublin! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for breakfast.

We both had the Irish Breakfast and an Irish Coffee. Both were outstanding. Additionally, the staff were both very friendly and took time to check in on us several times and visit with is as well. Good old fashioned Irish hospitality! A must when in Dublin.

This is such an amazing place - must go when you visit Dublin. The food is delicious and portion sizes are very generous! The service is absolutely amazing - funniest people about and so so friendly. Would come back when next visiting Dublin in a heartbeat.

Loved this spot. Came here per a friend’s recommendation and we were glad we did. We came around 11:30am on a Sunday and we had to wait a little bit (the restaurant is quite cozy) but it wasn’t too bad. We each had an Irish breakfast, which you could see being made right in front of the open kitchen. Cash only. Indoor and outdoor dining available. The service was lovely - a bit snarky but all in good humor. I also liked how the food was cooked fresh to each order, so while there was a wait when there was a rush, the patience is worth it.

What a hidden gem! A friend recommended this cafe for breakfast and it was amazing! The cafe is small, but cozy with little tables and seating areas. There is wood trim and stained glass, along with nicknacks that make you smile. The staff is very friendly and genuinely care about your well being. They'll chat you up and you'll have new friends by the time you walk out! The food was fantastic and plentiful. I highly recommend the full Irish breakfast. Treat yourself to an Irish coffee while you're at it! Enjoy!

Dublin’s best breakfast is a bold claim to make, but The Stage Door really does hold that title. The breakfast was by far the best I’ve ever had! Lovely quirky little cafe a stones throw away from Temple Bar, this is a must visit! Owner was really welcoming and lovely, honestly one of the most kind hearted people you’ll ever meet!

After a long six hour flight from America we spotted this gem and boy oh boy we hit the JACKPOT! the staff was amazing atmosphere was comfortable yet mesmerizing inside and out! We were welcomed with open arms and greeted by a lovely young lad who help recommend few places which was great not knowing where to begin!. Ultimately we sure did get the ultimate full Irish breakfast and couldn’t forget the baileys hot chocolate TO DIE FOR!!!! when we return we will definitely be goin back (home) “the stage door cafe” our ultimate favorite spot above all! (Honeymooners spot) 🥰🫶🏼

So you want to experience a real Irish breakfast in Temple Bar and you don't have any idea of where to go. So that's the place. Small, cozy, often crowded, the Stage Door Café will welcome you and let you experience an excellent genuine Irish Breakfast. The place is not that big so you might have to wait for a table, but that's ok. Breakfast costs around 14€, coffee 4€. People are friendly and even when it's crowded (almost always) the service is fast. Don't miss it out.

It lives up to the title of the best Irish breakfast traditional in the City Centre.Brazilian staff and irish chef are incredible. We are welcomed. I strongly recommend this spot.

Nice cozy place with great Irish breakfast 😋

Very cozy and comfy atmosphere, friendly owner, good coffee - all in all definitely a place I’d go again!

Brilliant lil cafe. It has been in Dublin for 24 years, breakfast was so nice and quick!

This place claims to have 'Dublin's best breakfast' and if it doesn't it must be pretty close. I had the full Irish which was delicious and well presented. - also included both black and white pudding. There was only one waiter on and the place was busy on a Saturday morning - but his humour more than kept everyone happy. I would definitely recommend this place.

The real deal - authentic full Irish breakfast experience. Host was friendly and chatty, the food was delicious and the portion size was plenty big. Highly recommended!

Best Irish breakfast we had. Very nice people

Definitely a place worth visiting. The irish breakfast was delicious. Due to Covid there was staff shortage, so the owner was serving - he was really kind and funny guy. 10/10 would recommend!

I came on the second day of opening post covid closures so the menu was limited to Irish breakfast—I’m SO GLAD it was!! This was the best Irish breakfast I’ve ever had (granted I am Canadian); it was smoky, sweet, salty, and rich with charred bits on the meats. Even the toast was wonderful! In addition to the excellent food, the atmosphere was absolutely lovely. The owner is warm, welcoming, and kind. Since the place just opened, the owner is missing staff, so a restaurant owner from next door was helping him out in serving, even grabbing ingredients from his own restaurant when needed. Highly recommend!!!!!

Very nice Breakfast

Super nice staff, fast service, cozy place and tasty homemade breakfast

Yum all around. Owner is genuine and helpful. Food was top notch. And well priced to boot.

Went for a breakfast here on the first day in Dublin. The chef and owner should be a required Irish experience of his own. What a charming and hillarious man! As for the food well... He ran out of one ingredient after another as we arrived near close on a sunday, and I am glad he did- never in my 26years of life have I liked eggs but when this man made me a vegetarian breakfast (and rang the damn bell for it too) with what remained, the toast and tomato with scrambled eggs and spinach and DEAR GOD ABOVE. I. Like. Eggs. Now. And I am so damn happy about it. God bless you, miracle chef. See you next time we're in Dublin.

Allen is so funny and made us feel so welcome. The food was incredible went for breakfast every day on our trip. If you’re soft and cant take a joke this aint the place for you 🤣

We were warmly greeted by a young server who showed us to a table and then we ordered immediately so was quickly and friendly service! We ordered full Irish breakfast which was great big enough to fill the gap but not too big that you were knackered after finishing. Great place to sit either inside or out and you can people watch as locals and tourists pass through temple bar. Great little place.

The food was great and the staff is amazing. They are so friendly and helpful. We had the traditional Irish breakfast and vegetarian breakfast. Both were perfect. It's a must see when you're in Dublin.

This place was wonderful. My family and I traveled to Dublin from NJ and were looking for a place just like this. It’s small but very cute and cozy. You have to get there early, and you must try the Irish Coffee, there is plenty of toast with your meal. My teenage son was with us and he enjoyed it as well. The owner was very funny and made the experience twice as fun. Temple Bar is a short walk away, since we were there early in the AM we got some good pics.

We were wondering through the streets of Dublin looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. A man who was cleaning the streets asked if we were looking for breakfast and directed us to this place. It was a little hard to find at first, but once we were there we were greeted and placed in the gay corner. I had a coffee and an Irish breakfast my wife had the same but with Tea. When we had finished, the owner gave us some sites to visit and recommend some local taverns to visit. This place I'd definitely worth the visit if you are stuck for inspiration of where to visit while enjoying a friendly atmosphere while eating g some good traditional Irish food. I am looking forward to the next visit. 👍

What a beautiful experience in such a hidden gem! Alan is a top tier guy with a heart of gold, and a very talented chef! Such a delightful breakfast and coffee! Would absolutely recommend to anyone travelling to Dublin!

Great place for Irish breakfast! They open really early, even on Sundays, and will make you a delicious homemade breakfast. The owner is very nice and will make you feel welcome. Don't miss out!

I had the Irish breakfast with a cappuccino. My wife had the Brie, Tomato, and Bacon open sandwich. Everything from the food to the service was brilliant.

Alan and the staff are as good as the excellent food. Even though right in the middle of tourist area- he makes you feel like you are one of his regular” local” guests. Again- good excellent- but the atmosphere is so much more than just the food. Alan gave us tips and local suggestions on places to eat etc.

So we missed breakfast at the hotel, one morning, and we’re looking for a place to have breakfast. We came across this place and, in all honesty, the breakfast was 100 times better than it was at the hotel. The guys working there were a real Hwy, and the food was outstanding. If you’re in the area, check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Cracking little breakfast spot! So cosy and warm inside. We were a little unsure of where to go for breakfast, and the sign stating they had the best breakfast in Dublin intrigued us. Safe to say it did not disappoint! Phenomenal food made fresh but served quickly, just what you want when you’ve had a night out at the surrounding pubs and bars the night before. Large portion sizes and great value for money. Our waiter with the man bun (so sorry I didn’t catch your name!) was friendly and attentive, and recommended some fab places for us to go for drinks later on in the day. Great little find and would definitely recommend!

Absolutely gorgeous, despite small selection

Great food breakfast just like me ma made proper grub and the size of the breakfast for the price unreal. Great chat over breakfast with the owner Alan such a great person your made to feel welcome all round this place is a must. .remember when your talking about a proper breakfast to people let me just say I told ya so.

Best fry in Dublin and the owner is an absolute character

Lovely cafe in temple bar area, they serve a great full Irish traditional breakfast that I have much enjoyed! The atmosphere is great as well and the owner is very friendly (and very Irish lol)! Recommended :)

If you love life you will love The Stage Door Ca#e and Al. No better breakfast in Dublin. A must stop over and over again. We love you Al. Keep on keep in on.

Lovely staff even better food

Very friendly staff and the best food!!

Nice and tasty Irish breakfast, Alan is nice and very kind with you! I highly recommend it! Greetings from France!

Absolutely delicious breakfast. Interesting little place, well worth it!😊

Good food, but very bad service. About ten minutes into eating he told me to get off my phone and hurry up. He then told the people behind me to also hurry up as he was expecting more customers (even though there was no one in line waiting outside). If you're okay with having a rushed breakfast give it a visit. Don't expect a relaxing experience. Despite being one of the tastier breakfasts I had in Ireland (great Irish coffee) the overall experience left a bad taste in the mouth.

The BEST breakfast around Temple Bar and the staff are great crack

It’s a quaint little place for breakfast, although the service is not the best. It took a while to place our order, and we had to ask for utensils, refills, etc. Seating inside as well as sidewalk cafe style seating was available. We sat outside because there was a wait to sit inside. We had the cheese and bacon omelette, and the cheese and mushroom omelette. Both included buttered toast, and the omelettes were “OK” but a bit on the dry side (and cost €9.95) €7.95 should have been more like it. Green tea was €3.95. As I already stated, the service wasn’t the best, servers had to be flagged down often. At one point, one of the only two servers we ever saw, decided to take a smoke break on the patio right in front of us. I was trying to flag him down for our check, but it was madness trying to get his attention. I’d skip this place if I were you.

The best chef and food! Don't miss this place!

One of the few places I could have a proper cup of coffee at during recent times. Friendly and welcoming staff!

Love it. Very small and intimate. Food portions were huge and very tasty. The guy who owns it was brilliant.

Really enjoyed this place for a dirty breakfast. The host/waiter was highly entertaining and the full Irish was just what we wanted after feeling a little worse for wear. Excellent value for money and we enjoyed sitting outside and people watching whilst Dublin woke up on bank holiday Sunday! Highly recommend.

BEST Breakfast!!! The reviews were definitely accurate. We walked over to this little cafe and had fantastic meals. We ordered Bean on toast and a Brie, bacon and tomato open sandwich. So tasty!

Best breakfast in town. Highly recommended. Marty👍😊

the irish breakfast and irish coffee is top notch. the staff is very helpful and hilarious,love to visit here especially in between my mid day breaks

Fantastic and cozy place to have breakfast. The staff is amazing and the food/drinks were on point. Definitely worth checking out.

Delicious and friendly. The Stage Door Cafe was the only place open early on a Sunday morning while I was looking for an Irish Breakfast on the way to the airport. I am so glad I found this iconic cafe!

Very funny owner. Great breakfast.

Lovely food comfortable setting and one friendly staff member

😍

Nice enough place, subpar coffee, staff takes it as a personal attack when asked if they serve non dairy milk.

Lovely cosy café in Dublin with lots of character and great staff. It was a cold and wet day in the city so they gave us a hot water bottle to warm us up ❤️❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) Small breakfast place around 20 places, but very tasty (Original) Kleine ontbijtgelegenheid ongeveer 20 plaatsen, maar zeer lekker

(Translated by Google) Very friendly host, pleasant atmosphere and moderate prices in a traditional Irish cafe (Original) Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, angenehme Atmosphäre und moderate Preise in traditionell irischem Cafe

(Translated by Google) Cozy place with friendly service. (Original) Lugar aconchegante com atendimento simpático.

Best location in Dublin. I like the irisch coffee

You simply have to go here. The owner is a great character. What a laugh, great food and people return year on year. I will

This place is amazing! Great food and the staff are hilarious! Can't recommend this enough!

(Translated by Google) I put 5 stars because the welcome and exceptional! Upon entering, we greet you warmly and even bring you a hot water bottle to warm you up cependant don't wait for a menu with a large choice, but it's delicious and homemade! (Original) Je mets 5 étoiles parce que l'accueil et exceptionnel ! En entrant on vous salue chaleureusement et on vous apporte même une bouillotte pour vous réchauffer 😍 n'attendez cependant pas une carte avec un grand choix mais c'est délicieux et fait maison !

Everything was amazing!!!!!!the staff was very friendly!!!!the Irish coffee... outstanding!!!!!we felt like we were in a coffee house of our neighborhood!!!!!you should visit it!!!!

Amazing food and the staff were ****ing hilarious. Would fully recommend

Very nice staff and amazing food. Just wish there was a good vegetarian option 😁.

Good coffee.

The owner was funny and was very freindly. We loved the place so much we went back the next day and the owner remembered us. Place is small so get in early to grab a seat because you don't want to miss out on this breakfast. First day I tried the BLT and made it "sexy"(egg on top). Second day I tried the omlette with ham and mushrooms. He made my 3 year old the biggest hit chocolate with the big marshmallows in it amd my daughter loved it. My wife and I had the Irish coffee which was the best I had so far.

The Stage Door cafe is a lovely place with a lovely owner. He makes you feel welcomed and in one occasion when we took a group of friends visiting from Italy he came around to chat and have a laugh with us and in the end he offered us a free glass of prosecco! Lovely memory, lovey time!

Great place to be.the owner is a lovely guy.very helpful
