    Hadn't been here in a few years. It has changed ownership and been renamed. Stopped in for lunch. Tasty food, good selection pleasant staff. Chicken wings, good spice lots of meat. Prawn salad, great dressing, very tasty. Almond slice and coffee worth trying.

    Coffee was okay but definitely the food was the highlight and the menu has a nice selection to choose from.

    The first time to come here, I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the staff were, we came for breakfast and had the Lark fry which was delicious good quality food. We also had the potato cake with wilted spinach it was also delicious 😋 we've been eating it here since and will be in future. The atmosphere is nice cosy and welcoming.

    Fantastic food, great service, decently sized portions for a fair amount of money -- both sandwich and cake. It's a small place but vibe is pleasant. I didn't get to try the coffee, so I'll have to come again!

    I discovered this place while waiting for my son from his camp. The food is lovely, the place is really cozy… and they are attentive. Great spot plus the music selection is spot on.

    Amazing food and amazing staff. We missed the all day breakfast, but they went out of their way to make sure we got sorted. The guy serving us was extremely friendly.

    Very tasty food, coffee and nice atmosphere. Understaffed today so service was a little slow but I was not in a rush. But the staff are so nice. Car parking is an issue but I parked down one of the roads and paid. I’ll be a repeat customer.

    Been coming to this location for many years, prior to it's change over to Lark. Always great service, staff and food, my go to will always be their full Irish, one of my favourites around. Recently went for the first time in a while and can confirm it's still a great feed

    Beautiful atmosphere for breakfast! French toast is just perfect 5* soft and sweet and the staff are very nice. Will definitely come back to try more food! (They also accept reservations)

    Had brunch here a few weeks ago with my family and we were left unbelievably satisfied between the food, service and atmosphere. We had a booking, which I recommend for a Saturday, and was seated immediately and was looked after straight away by all the staff. Food was fast and delicious. Lovely spot for weekend brunch.

    Vegan breakfast was pretty good value. €11.95 But It was all a bit bland. Definitely room to improve the flavours. Vegan sausage tasted good everything else lacked flavour. Coffee wasn’t great. Not for me. And the toast that came with the vegan breakfast was served with butter. Over all it wasn’t a bad experience but not a great one either. I will come back to try their other vegan menu items

    First meal in Dublin and did not disappoint. Ordered the eggs benedict & the Irish potato cake. Both dishes were full of flavour, hearty and filling. Would thoroughly recommend this cafe! Prices ranged from €10 - €13.

    I arrived for lunch to see the place was full, and busy, However, the manager, Prabin told me to wait a few minutes. I ordered the chicken & bacon salad bowl with avocado! And a Raspberry & almond sponge cake & tea. The salad was so fresh & delicious, and the cake was so tasty. I found the staff very friendly and the service was excellent! Highly recommend! Thank you to Prabin and all the lovely staff!

    Very enjoyable experience in the peak of the Saturday noon lunch time rush! Booked in advance and got seated very quickly. Food was amazing with very attentive staff. Possibly the best French toast I’ve had and very well plated! Plenty of seating in the back of the restaurant, it can look small from the outside.

    Absolutely unreal! Lovely front patio seating with a healthy but indulgent menu and easily the best chips I’ve had so far in Dublin. Lovely staff - will absolutely be back for brunch and dinner and everything in between.

    Nice venue, mediocre food experience. This is my 2nd time eating in Lark and both times I have not been impressed by food. The first time I thought it was because of what I chose, a salad, which is not particularly tasty to start with. This time I ordered a full Irish as I woke up wanting something hearty to prepare for a trip. We were welcome gently and brought in a small adjacent room. The setup was lovely until a group arrived. The acoustic of the place are not particularly good and we struggled to understand each other. No particular problem as the coffee was pretty good. Unfortunately the waiting time for ordering first and getting food delivered later was just too long. My coffee managed to get cold by the time I got the food. And what an unpleasant surprise to start with a bite of scrambled eggs just to find them plain cold. I quickly checked the other parts of my breakfast and noticed they were arriving at different levels of warmth. I asked for eggs to be replaced. A waitress immediately took care of that.. but again the waiting time was too long and so I got my new set of eggs when I had already eaten 2/3 of my breakfast. The sausages were tasty but the bacon not so much and I found it dry. The black pudding didn't look (or taste) as something particularly fresh or premium. The bread was toasted but not warm. The tomato was really good, but also not was the item I counting the most on. When the new set of eggs arrived they tasted different from the first ones and in general not particularly tasty even if I added salt & pepper. I also don't like when scrambled eggs are overcooked like the ones I got served (aware of course that this depends from my particular taste). As food is becoming the opposite of cheap, I would expect more care & precision. Taste is debatable, an Irish being served cold not so much.

    Lovely and busy place. Sadly I had a very disappointing meal since I found hair in my food that completely destroyed my experience there. When we told about finding hair in food the waitress didn’t seem to care about it.

  • 2/5 Aileen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked table for 3 people online for 11am . Called to change to 4 people, no problem. It was busy. Food was fine, nothing special. Asked to vacate table at 12noon. We felt one hour was very short & we were not told this at any stage previously. Waiter who looked after us was very pleasant. Will not be rushing back.

    Delicious food at a decent price. Will be back again. Update: Service wasn't as good for my second visit. The girls were working very hard in the kitchen with making food and coffees. Food was quick and just as delicious as before. The lads out front however...they're far too busy having the chats with eachother. Yapping about their own lives and not paying any attention to customers who arrived before us with no menus still. We gave up trying to get their attention for mayonnaise. We watched a woman at another table make multiple attempts to get maple syrup also. Very difficult to get their attention or interject into their conversation. They were only half paying attention to the job at hand. We had to listen to a lot of their mindnumbing conversation too. Great that you used to be a taekwando national champion, but there's a time and a place for bragging to the lads and it's not when customers are trying to get your attention... 🙄

    Great coffee shop to sit out in the village with Fifi! I think Fifi enjoyed this place despite no puppicinos in sight! Great bunch menu on offer, I will 100% be back to check out more of the menu! Very Friendly staff and excellent service! Haven’t a bad thing to say!

  • 5/5 Trisha N. 1 year ago on Google
    I would highly recommend this cafe. I went here today and had something to eat and can of coke. The food is lovely and staff is helpful and friendly. Located in a nice area and this cafe has outdoor dining. I would definitely go here again.

  • 3/5 Tristan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Incompetent staff, ordered a sandwich to go was told 15 minutes. After 40 minutes I ask where it is and clearly they have forgotten Barely an apology, won’t go here ever again I appreciate them reaching out and everyone messes up sometimes. Just would have expected more from the supervisor/manager on the day

  • 5/5 Aindriú Ó M. 2 years ago on Google
    French toast was savage, and they had a seriously good raspberry cake sort of thing. Friendly and efficient staff. Went on a busy Sunday and were told to expect a 30 min wait due to large order in the kitchen. Had food on the table in about 15 mins so couldn't complain.

  • 5/5 Kiki B. 2 years ago on Google
    They do thr best oat milk late I ever had so far! They're also known for their brunch and breakfast. Their food is nutritious, the cafe has two separate areas and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Their prices are fair too!

    Great selection of quality food. Staff is super friendly. The chicken sandwich was awesome! 2021 - set outside.
