    We found this place by accident, and what a lovely one. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and the food was simply amazing! Never had Turkish eggs before, and they were fantastic! Coffee was also very nice.

    We went here for brunch recently for the first time since the pandemic started. It was delicious then and it’s just as delicious now. 🤤 Anything I’ve ever ordered has been great. The prices are reasonable as well, especially considering the amount and quality of food that you get. Definitely worth a visit!

    Best food I’ve ever had in Dublin. We are from Germany and stayed in Dublin for a few days. At first we just wanted to go here since the cafe was nearby our Airbnb, but it turned out to be my favourite place to have food in Dublin. Clearly we were there 3 times in our 5 days trip. Highly recommend. Such a shame that you guys don’t serve dinners 😢.

    We went twice to have breakfast here and the food was always delicious (we would have gone more times if the time allowed it). The cafe is quite small and fills up quickly with people. Staff is super friendly, coffee and Hot chocolate were good. They offer pastries to go as well. I would totally recommend to try it out yourself!

    Great friendly neighbourhood cafe. Huge rich portions, dog friendly and amazing staff. Turkish breakfast a bit too spicy, but the rest is so delish!

    This place has become my regular brunch option for a reason. The food quality is consistently exceptional, the service is quick and efficient, and the choices are fantastic. But let me tell you, the week's special? Absolutely tasty. You've got to try it! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

    Lovely brunch experience at the Social Fabric Cafe. Very friendly staff with more interior seating than I was expecting. I had a lovely cappuccino and the vegetarian breakfast was delicious: Halloumi, eggs, toast, potato & mushroom hash, avocado, and Ballymaloe relish. They have a good variety of menu items and I’m planning to try the pancakes on my next visit!

    A hidden gem in the north part of the city. Their staffs are really friendly and attentive. They are also quite quick in preparing the food. Wanted to highlight that there are usually a lot of people coming here for brunch so it’s best to reserve in advance. The entire time that we were there, there was always a queue… on the food, it’s delicious and ingredients seem really fresh. Will no doubt come back :)

    Had a lovely brunch eating awesome eggs benedict and a super flavoured breakfast burrito. Big portions and kind staff also, special mention for the super nice purple haired girl! They also have amazing cakes and treats but we were too full to try them :(

    The food, value for money and service (speed and kindness) were great. Packed on a Saturday morning so a bit noisy, to be expected of a small brunch spot. Highly recommend.

    Go-to brunch place in Stoneybatter. Food is packed with flavours, lovely combination of ingredients and portions are great. It's a little quieter and more spacious than Slice further up the road which makes it a better space to meet up with friends and have a chat.

    Really is head and shoulders above the herd. One of the tastiest brunches you will get in Dublin. Portions are generous. The menu is varied. Today I had the chorizo and nduja hash: White potatoes, sweet potatoes, kale, whipped feta cheese, pickled red onion, fresh herbs and poached eggs. Yum!!!!

    Not exaggerating here but by far the best cafe in Stoneybatter (and their is a few!). Breakfast roll exceeded expectations (picture does it no justice bar the beautiful char on the bun), definitely the finer ingredients served on a brioche bun with a homemade relish. Really would recommend this place for breakfast and coffee

    Love this place! Great location, just 10 minutes away from the quays, lovely staff and delicious food. I am obsessed with a breakfast burrito. As I am vegetarian, they replaced bacon with avocado and it was absolutely amazing.

    I highly recommend this place especially for brunch! The place is cozy and spacious, they have kind of a modern/sustainable vibe with many hanging lights from the roof which makes an enjoyable Atmosphere. The service also is great, the staff was attentive and caring with us and food service was also quite fast. The food in my opinion was delicious, I had buttermilk pancakes and they were slightly different from average as they had the almond crumble and some kind of soaked pears which brought the usual pancakes to a completely different level, also ingredients were fresh and coffee also was delicious! I will definitely be back and must visit if you are around stoney batter area!

  • 5/5 Joel H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very kind staff. The breakfast is amazing, you can get a variety of different plates and of course there are delicious vegan/vegetarian options. The coffee and drinks are fabulous. We've been here the first morning of our trip and came back every day for the rest of our stay. Easily one of the best brunch places i've ever been to.

  • 5/5 Ross C. 7 months ago on Google
    Went here for beeakfast this morning before heading to the airport and I can easily say, my friend and I went out with a bang! I got the large pancakes with streaky bacon, fried egg, and maply syrup... it was the best pancakes I have ever had! I have had pancakes at restaurants/cafes in Amsterdam, Paris, Liverpool, and other places. This was another level! They were so thick but fluffy! The bacon was cooked perfectly and had so much flavour. The fried egg just added to the overall amazing flavours. The service was very good as well and was such a nice little independent cafe. Couldn't have asked for a better last meal in Dublin. Please ensure you come here if you want a special breakfast!

    I decided to order the shakshuka and received poached eggs that seemed to have forgotten their runny yolks! When I politely mentioned this to the waitress and asked for a 'real' poached egg, she informed me that is the way the eggs are supposed to be cooked. So I guess their interpretation of poached eggs is boiled eggs. The coffee wasn't exactly mind-blowing, despite their audacious claim of being the best in Dublin. But fear not, the pancakes were there to rescue the day, standing tall as the only heroes in this brunch. Bravo, pancakes!

    Hands down - probably one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time.. if not ever. Just amazing. Coffee is equally as fab. A real gem of a cafe. As for the chocolate brownies - i'm addicted. My waist line will not be thankful.. but i don't care😊. A slice of heaven and worth it. Love, just love this place💙

  • 5/5 Gabriel G. 8 months ago on Google
    The flavour and taste in each dish were AMAIZING. Personally, I really enjoyed the Turkish eggs it's a bomb of tastes and aromas incredible. The girl who took our order was really nice and kind✨️ Thanks for the food, Social Fabric Cafe😋✨️💖

  • 5/5 Melanie A. 2 years ago on Google
    A favourite place for brunch and has kept us going through the many lockdowns. Delighted that they are back for indoor dining which is even better than ever, would always recommend Social Fabric for the coffee, brunch, lunch and treats.

  • 5/5 Neville M. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely epic brunch. Up there with the very best I've ever had in our fair city. Do yourself a favour and visit!!!!

  • 5/5 Rachel A. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been here in Dublin for 5 weeks, and I stumbled across this cafe near the beginning of my trip - I'm SO glad I did! Had a variety of things from the menu there and everything has been so tasty and fresh, I can't pick a favourite. The coffee has been fantastic too, I've just come from my last visit there and bought some of the house coffee beans to *try* and recreate it back home. Will definitely be back here again when I come back to Dublin - just great! Thanks to the lovely staff too.

  • 5/5 Jakub S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Food is great and staff is really lovely. It is one of those few places I like to eat.

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a must! The avocado toast with poached egg, feta, tomato and pesto is 11/10. Normally, avo toast is overpriced and lacking flavor. This is the complete opposite. The decor is simple but the atmosphere (music, vibes) were spot on. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 eavan o. 2 years ago on Google
    Was in this morning for breakfast food is absolutely gorgeous, my mother had the vegetarian breakfast and said it was the best she'd had in a long time. Eggs Benedict and pancakes we're both delish. Only suggestion would be to have children's portions as even the small pancakes were quite big for my child (not a complaint). Will definitely be back, staff were nice and friendly too.

  • 5/5 Petra S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was really delicious, colourful and spicy. It's a nice cozy small coffee, so reservation in advance is needed or you may wait couple of minutes for table. But it's worth it.

  • 5/5 Adriana de la C. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food! The vegetarian breakfast was amazing 😋 also very good coffee. 100% recommended. Also if you like doggies or you are a doggie owner the place is petffriendly ❤️

    Lads, I think they put crack in the falafels. They are incredible and I keep coming back for more, such great food and the staff are lovely. I always make it a mission to get in here for the Buddha bowl, unbelievable!
