    Best food in Dublin? I couldn’t tell you, I’ve only been here for a day. But I wouldn’t have wanted it to go by without a ridiculously fun and chill morning spent at The Fumbally. Delicious, special, unique flavors. Crazy soulful&tasty homemade bread & pastries. Staff excited to talk food & wine and make recs. Whoah. Came for the coffee, left missing my new favorite spot. This is the PLACE.

    Had been here recently with friends for a brunch and had a great experience. The staff were nice and kind, the presentation was good and the food was awesome. Special mention to their fresh yummy sourdough - which I bought a loaf home as well. Overall a nice place, conveniently located, good food and ambiance! Should try!

    The Fumbally is a very genuine and unique place, with a relaxed atmosphere. Great coffee and treats but in my opinion what makes the difference is the daily specials for lunch. You can find dishes from different places: more common as Japan, Spain and Italy or as not that common in Ireland as Ethiopian cuisine (and many more)

    The Fumbally is outstanding! The market has brilliantly curated local delights that support the community. The cafe has a mouthwatering menu and sensational coffee. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the customers contributed to the chill vibes. I would eat and shop there every day if I could.

    It is cute, just like all the other hipster habitats globally. You will never know if you are in Dublin, Berlin, Paris, London, or Brooklyn in 2007. It is like going to hipster McDonald’s, you know what you will get and it is trustworthy. Locally produced and more expensive food in a very artsy setting. You feel good about yourself consuming all of this. You don’t mind paying for locally made lip balm that is way more expensive than ones from supermarkets but hey, it is vegan. All jokes aside, it is cute. When you are not sure where to go for good food and cute atmosphere, look for hipster cafe like this. Way better than some other touristy restaurants. Also great for people watching.

    The food here is out of this world delicious! From the beans on toast to overnight oats the selections are hearty and flavorful. Service can be a bit slow, but it is worth the wait. Lovely selection of produce, baked goods and unique pantry items as well. My only disappointment is that we didn’t try it earlier in our stay!

    Absolutely delicious, best vegan beans on toast we ever had! The Fumbally is a great location with several vegan options on their menu. The servers were super friendly and helpful, we actually came here twice during our four day stay because it was so great!

    Favourite Cafe in Dublin for atmosphere and gourmet groceries! Love the crew here and can happily sit at the window for a few hours working away, having chats and drinking coffee. Friends of friends of friends always passing through. My favourites on the menu are the mixed salad bowl and the soup. Tuscan Beans also a winner plus any of their sweet stuff or breads. Value for money would be 3 stars but 5 for everything else and paying that little extra for the atmosphere makes it feel worthwhile ♥️

    What a treasure to find. Local fresh products and great tasting food. Indoor and outdoor seating. A must if in the area.

    Delicious selection of food and preserves. The Arancini balls are amazing. Sound staff too. Good covid procedures

    Meh. It's nice and all, but a bit pricey and a tad too 'artsy' for the part of Dublin it's in. No harm to the owners, but this is the last thing people in Dublin 8 need; another reminder of what they can't afford.

  • 5/5 Thiago Andrade F. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious. The bread is made using natural fermentation what gives it a better taste, being crispy about outside and soft inside. Coffee has a high quality. Medium body espresso, balanced acidity and bitterness, fruit aroma and berry dark chocolate taste. Staff is very welcoming and supportive. Definitely is a must go…;)

    Lovely spacious place in a great area. Close to the city center, but less busy and quite relaxed. Visited for the first time and will be coming back again for sure! Staff is friendly and really willing to help with any of your requests. I went for classics: scrambled eggs on sourdough with kale and hot sauce + flat white, both were excellent. An impressive variety of fresh pastry made me leaving with a roasted coconut cruffin, which was the best treat of the weekend so far. Thank you, Fumbally💛

    The best brunch / lunch / cafe / local market spot in Liberties. Whether you are looking for a coffee on your own, or a nice place to share some food with friends… it’s just the best. The food is always tasty, so flavoursome. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. And they always have good wine selection, even a small farmers market and some local and international delicatessen. Best place in Dublin 8!

    We came here around 2:30 pm and ordered the fumbally eggs, black coffee and orange juice. All were perfect and delicious. Go there, enjoy a wonderful authentic atmosphere and buy some local things. Definitely will come back.

    One of the best spots in dublin 8 for breakfast / brunch. With a farm to plate concept, the fumbally serves up both classics and originals until 4/5 pm in the evening. It’s also an event space and a market of sorts. I’ve tried the bread and some veg, both of which were excellent. Cool, funky, original, and great value for money! Can take some time to get a table on a weekend but it’s worth the wait.

  • 5/5 Clotilde T. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent, do not miss!!! We went at the Fumbally on a Wednesday dinner in February 2020. The Fumbally was one of our finest food experiences during our stay in Dublin. Very cool and laid-back atmosphere, and excellent, original and delicate food, for an amazingly low price. If it had been open another night in the week, we would definitely have been twice in a row.

  • 5/5 Emma C. 4 years ago on Google
    The porchetta roll was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. The vibe is great here, can't wait to return one day!

  • 4/5 Ronan F. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food. Seating a bit all over the place which is I suppose the charm. Just pity you cannot reserve a space. Dog friendly too

  • 5/5 Matthias S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice combination of a small market place for fresh and organic food and delicacies and a tiny restaurant. It was quite crowded so we had to wait for 20-30 minutes, but the authentic homemade fresh and delicious meals were worth waiting.

  • 5/5 Simon C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cafe and space. Over the last couple of years, the grocers and shop have been fantastic. It’s great to see such great quality and interesting produce from a variety of local farms. Especially at points when most restaurants were closed. The staff are always a pleasure and the food is always delicious.

  • 4/5 Xihui C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice visit on a sunny morning. The latte I had wasn’t bad, nor was it strong, the foams can be thicker, however everyone has different preference. I would recommend the fresh mushrooms and vegs there, nice variety of goods. Pricey yes, but understandable.

    We are so lucky to have The Fumbally and the people behind it. I only have gratitude for my Fumbally times whether it's eating in, shopping in the grocers or doing a workshop in the back. Beautiful people!

  • 5/5 Dmitry K. 4 years ago on Google
    Fumbally has become an iconic Dublin breakfast place in my opinion.

  • 5/5 Karen C. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best places for coffee and brunch in Dublin. The space is big, bright and airy. The food is simple, fresh and delicious. Amazing scrambled eggs!! And their coffee is top notch.

  • 5/5 Samantha Y. 4 years ago on Google
    I had the meat sandwich which was made of coriander chicken and mango salsa. Only 7.50 euros! Interesting combo but i felt adventurous and ordered it. BOY AM I GLAD I DID! it was really filling but not in a way that made you feel oily and heavy afterwards. The combination of flavors were new and surprising but in the best way possible. The layout of the restaurant was also really appealing. The kitchen is an open plan so you can directly see with your own eyes the freshness of the ingredients. Two thumbs up fumbally!

  • 5/5 Aurora S. 5 years ago on Google
    Totally a hipster place, but the food is really awesome! The restaurant is quite busy and you'll probably have to share the table, but despite the crowd the waiters do a great job in serving you as fast as possible. I had the breakfast hash with black pudding (a nice discovery) and a slice of Basque cheesecake, they were amazing! The eggs and ham with avocado were also great.

  • 5/5 Neil L. 4 years ago on Google
    Airy and open, this cafe was an ideal way to start a day visiting Dublin. The coffee was superior, and I ate possibly the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. I highly recommend a stop at the Fumbally.

    Have you ever wanted all of your wildest brunch dreams to come true? Well this is the place for it. Awesome fit our, friendly service, simple but GOOD breakfast menu and a range of cakes and pastries that makes your mouth water! Dog friendly, which for me, was the highlight - all the doggos!

    They don't do avocado and toast anymore, the one reason I came in for. Jazz blokes on with cello and keyboard though at 9am.

    I'm a regular customer here, often getting coffee. Today, I ordered 2 lattes and a croissant to go. We decided to use the 2GoCup initiative offered in the shop. However, to my disappointment, the coffee cups were only filled halfway. I understand that the cups are small, and the barista might have wanted to maintain the same portion, but where is the point of using go cups if they're only half full? This not only looks bad but also significantly dampened my mood. A coffee cup should always be full. If this is due to concerns about the cost of milk or water, I'd suggest adding an extra charge to ensure the cups are filled properly. I'm genuinely upset because this not only ruined my experience, but my coffee also turned cold within minutes as the cup absorbed the heat due to the limited amount of hot liquid. While I have a soft spot for their pastries, I won't be purchasing coffee here again; it's simply not worth it. Today, I wasted money and left with a bad mood.
