👍👍 Food is absolutely delicious. I have to confess I hardly empty my plate, and today I finished it. I had the beetroot salad, absolutely gorgeous. Tasty, light, thoroughly made to perfection. Staff is very friendly and the place has a different and special atmosphere. Definitely recommend it.

    Absolute hidden gem! I'm convinced that no one does brunch like local shops. Two Pups reminds of the college that I attended university, earthy crunchy, young, upbeat, sustainable, rustic, and cozy! The staff goes above and beyond to be friendly, and the food is super creative. It's no longer on the menu, but their eggplant with fried hardboiled egg (yes, you heard that right) was spectacular! Be sure to try their Vietnamese Ice Coffee! ALSO they have more seating in the back/side, more than you think/can see from the outside (there's also an outdoor patio in the back)! I just really wish they were open more days of the week.

    Dish and healthy food with awesome coffee as always. Have to check this place out every week. A brunch place you can’t miss if you are in Dublin.

    AMAZING PLACE! I had my breakfast here and I’m in LOVE. Super friendly and welcoming staff, delicious food. The croissants dough is extremely delicate but so flavorful, milk and orange juice are spectacular. Calm and relaxing environment. 100% recommended.

    Lovely spot with great and friendly service. Definitely a good spot for brunch and has a tempting selection of treats to finish. The breakfast bap was particularly tasty!

    Nice hipster vibe. Very good food and excellent coffee: priced not cheap, but similar to other places in Dublin. Servers are great! However, management made the odd decision of giving half-arsed service: you get food at the table; you get water to your table; tables are cleared; but you CANNOT place an order from the comfort of your dining. Meaning, you place it at the till, and pay before receiving food or beverages (?!). Odd approach, to say the least...

    I got the sting hash and it was delicious! I also got an americano and enjoyed it. The service is fast, I would definitely come back.

    The place has its charm and the waiters are attentive, however you have to order your drink and food at the cashier. The food is good, for the Dublin standard it would be remarkable, for any other country with a greater culinary culture it would be decent, without more. I had understood that they take great care of their coffee and are proud to be excellent, it is at most drinkable, an Iced Coffee was ordered and the experience was unfortunate. What they offer in Dublin in general is something that in any other city in another country would be a claim sheet or an empty place. First and last time I go, there is another place near the student flats, similar price but absolutely better in every way. There is a beastly bubble in this city with food.

    It was pretty, authentic, just YUM! There was a queue at the time we reached. 15 minutes later, we were able to go in. The place is mediocre, a bit old, and a bit expensive honestly. But maybe these prices are normal in Dublin. However, the food was pretty looking and tasty. You have to order your food at the counter and they will bring it to you. Service is ok, everyone looks positive but no one helps you to make choices if it’s your first time. The cookies and cakes were tasty as well! Definitely recommend!

    Superb spot for brunch. Don't let the line out the door discourage you, the place is bigger than it looks and they turn over tables quickly. The seasonal hash with black pudding was outstanding, but everything was good. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely feel in love with this place from the moment we walked in and they were playing Ain't It Fun by Paramore, I knew we were in the right place. Staff are so welcoming and friendly, and the food in is incredible. So fresh and tasty, and did I mention the hot sauce? Big fan and brought my own bottle to take home. We will be back, with love from your Welsh fans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

    Great cafe based in the Liberties. As the name suggest they are dog friendly which is a big plus as we had our dog with us at the time. We came here for an after lunch snack and had the peanut butter on toast and a raspberry, coconut and dark chocolate cake which were great. We would definitely come back to try the breakfast/brunch/lunch menu. The chai latte and filter coffee are also fantastic. Very good and welcoming service with a chill/relaxed vibe.

    I dropped into this spot for the first time recently, really lovely food! I had the French toast and coffee and my sister had the Texan breakfast bap with some orange juice - freshly squeezed! - and we both really enjoyed it. The only thing I might say is it might be a little on the expensive side. Saying that though, the service was quick and we were very well taken care of!

    Wonderful staff. Great coffee. The brunch seemed a bit pricey but the food was good nevertheless. Had a bit of a suggestion with the Green Shakshuka, the eggs are supposed to be runny and not completely fried and that’s the essence of an authentic shakshuka. Apart from this all the food was great, coffee was excellent and loved the Lemon sponge slice

    Great food, friendly staff and good music. Food is a lil pricier than most places and there's a bit of a wait on the weekends for a table but to be expected with how good they are. Preferred their older menu (old picture with food off their older menu), but still good.

    Great spot for brunch, plenty of tables so you don’t have to wait too long even when it’s busy. The food is pretty reasonably priced for the portion size and it is quick service. Staff are really lovely and professional!

    Excellent experience, a cozy café that looks small from the outside but big on the inside. Friendly staff and the food is top notch. Fine crafted quality meals! Drinks were amazing as well! But I'd like if the Chai tea had a cup handle, was quite hot just holding the glass cup by itself. Other than that, would visit again!

  • 5/5 Rachel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a good brunch, we ordered the vegetarian breakfast hot dog, the granola and the Mac and cheese. Every single thing was amazing and I think we have ruined every other restaurant for brunch because not much will compare to this. The flavours were so good and creative. Absolutely amazing ❤️

    One of the best coffee cups I had in a while :) The brunch was also really good

    Great coffee shop in Francis St. And happy for them to see working full power, they had a big reorganisation from the last visit many new retail things to see on sale and also great coffee they are still serving as I remember. At this time they are allowed to have 2 ppl inside you order and wait outside the venue for your order, there is canopy which in 🌧 days serves well.

    Wasn’t terrible but everything was a bit disappointing... The Orange juice wasn’t amazing and game with a lot of ice cubes (which I didn’t ask for of course, and didn’t expect). Eggs were fried, not poached (which in fairness was written on the menu just didn’t see it), toast could do with a bit of toasting? It was just a slice of bread with fried egg on top. Coffee wasn’t bad but also not amazing... And the granola was terrible In my humble opinión... all that for €24 Probably not coming back, and if I do it’ll probably just be for coffee (and maybe pastries) but nothing else

    I feel I cannot recommend this place. The canteen style, ordering at the till service is inconsistent with the premium pricing for both food and drinks. On our visit, the service was lacking, we interacted with 4 different staff (seating, ordering, bringing drinks and bringing food all performed by a different staff member). We had to collect our own water from the tap with jugs and glasses next to it, the cutlery came after our food (in and of itself not an issue but the cutlery came in a tin -why aren't these just at each table). In general, the food and drinks themselves were passable but seemed overpriced for the portion size, specifically the green shakshuka was incredibly watery - effectively a kale and black bean soup with two fried eggs floating in it (which of course was not served with a spoon) - lacked any distinct flavours. There was no salt available on the tables (and with canteen style dining, no server to request this from) so I was obliged to derive taste from the questionable anchovy butter bread. The coffee was of a standard but not worth seeking out, particularly in Dublin where an Australian style coffee culture has emerged, leaving one with plenty of alternatives. Arguable the one redeeming feature of this place was the other clientele, as a dog friendly cafe we were able to marvel at the cute little dogs as they milled around with their owners waiting for, the as many as three uncleared tables to be turned.

    Really good food, there is usually a queue outside. You pay at the desk. Recommend the potatoes & eggs is really nice morning meal, feel healthy. Right amount of good you would expect. Coffee is relatively good as well. Service is good. We mentioned we want the eggs running and it was perfectly cooked. We love this place and will come back. Almost once every 2-3 weeks

  • 5/5 Melina D. 4 months ago on Google
    You have to way outside to be seated, fortunately we didn’t have ti wait for more than 5’. The service is really polite and welcoming. I loved my choice, found the taste really interesting. The hot chocolate was okay. Nice atmosphere. A bit overpriced but that’s how things seem to be in Dublin. Would go again If visiting Dublin.

    Perfect place for brunch. We had to wait in line for about 20 minutes as the absolute maximum. Once inside, we were able to order quickly and received our food quickly. Very tasty and they had gluten free options.

  • 4/5 ShailerMan 1 year ago on Google
    The food is quite good and the service very decent. IMO quite expensive for the portion sizes but it is in town so kinda understandable. The decor is a bit bland, could use a bit of something on the walls and a lick of paint.

  • 5/5 Tugay C. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was so friendly, food was excellent. I ate the sandwich with meatballs which was delicious and huge. My friend took croissant, it was fresh and delicious too. Browni is worth to try! Last but not least coffee was professional and delicious: Big thanks to awesome barista. Outside sitting available. For sure, I will return back. Thanks for nice experience.

👍👍 After looking everywhere for lactose free milk, finally found it here in the food hall. Beautiful design, sort of art nouveau, with iron casted architecture, diverse shops and cosy interiors. Really recommend also for tourists who need to shop forgotten items.
