The Bald Barista

Coffee shop Breakfast restaurant

👍👍 Really enjoyed sipping our coffee in this cafe, which we found by chance while looking for a seat during a very crowded Dublin afternoon. They make very good espresso (this is an Italian speaking) and the place is nice and cozy. Also the staff was lovely. People often mention coffee, breakfast, good, friendly, nice, staff, great, Dublin, recommend, sandwiches,

    Good place with very warm and friendly staff. They have a huge selection of sandwiches which i have forgotten to take a photo of 😅 Their breakfast menu has a lot of options too. I got the scrambled egg and sausages and bread. You can choose white or brown bread and coffee regular or large. Honestly the portion was a lot, that i didnt finish the eggs. They have a nice seating area on the upper deck or you can also sit outside (though tables are fewer) Overall it’s a great place and it’s close to major tourist spots so could be a good place to get a good breakfast before you kickstart your tours :)

    This is a great spot for breakfast and lunch with a good sized menu featuring breakfast staples like eggs on toast, porridge, a full Irish, etc., as well as plentiful sandwiches, wraps, and paninis for lunch. The star of the show is their coffee! I ordered a cappuccino (pictured), and was delighted when I received it with Enjoy written on top! The coffee was very good, and I ordered the scrambled eggs on toast as well which were simple but tasty. They have an upstairs area for seating, as well as outdoor seating for a nice day, so plenty of spots to sit down and enjoy. The seating area is not overly decorated, but that’s no bother for me.

    Great coffee, friendly staff and usually the Bald Barista himself making coffee for early morning caffeine seekers. Tasty breakfasts and pastries too. It's open nice and early, well before any other coffee places in Dublin.

    We found this spot while staying at the Hilton on our trip to Ireland. I had a migraine after the flight and needed caffeine stat. We are coffee freaks, not beer freaks. We were not disappointed with our drinks and breakfast and happy we checked them out to kick off our Trip to Ireland.👍

    Excellent service and food, everyone was so nice and I'm sure I'll become a regular on my visits to the city. Highly recommended!

    Lovely cafe with spectacular food and even nicer staff. Very hygienic and clean facilities. This busy little cafe offers a wide range of home baked goods and the sandwiches are delicious. The warm aroma of baked goods and coffee compliments the friendly atmosphere in this cafe. Regardless of how busy the cafe gets the staff are always polite and accommodating. The coffee themed decor inside is very unique and the latte art is also very cute. This is a great spot to meet friends or family.

    Great coffee, good food. Wonderful ambiance—adequate seating, chill music. Overall great vibe for a place to sit and have a coffee and small bite.

    Full breakfast, Irish style! Massive menu and great options for coffees and teas. Order at the counter then take a seat upstairs. Not wanting a full breakfast?, wonderful assortment of baked goods as well.

    This place is pure happiness. I go almost everyday because of the amazing staff and atmosphere they produce. There is an abundance of good energy that flows through each and everything and everyone in this café.

  • 3/5 Jacob H. 6 years ago on Google
    Had a cappuccino, it was really nice. The staff seemed a bit disorganized. The food was not to my standard. Had a full Irish Breakfast, the beans were cold, eggs were rubber, overall a bit disappointing.

    Great Cafe! The Coffee is excellent. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. I wanted to buy beans and he lended me a good 10mins of his time to tell me about the different beans he has :) Thank you, Buzz!

  • 4/5 I G. 2 years ago on Google
    Cheaper than Starbucks, but i feel like it's still a bit expensive. Coffee is around 3-4 Eur. Very nice Staff. The owner is very friendly and a great guy! I will return just because of him! :D

  • 5/5 Lisa D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing variety of drinks, cakes and sandwiches. Including a vegan burrito I can't wait to try. They brew Fixx coffee which is a personal favourite. It's one of my favourite coffee spots in town. Staff are so friendly and pleasant to deal with. Lots of seating inside and outdoors. They also do an extra large takeaway coffee which I'd never seen before

  • 5/5 Dana Ayn G. 2 years ago on Google
    They serve Fixx coffeebeans which I was really excited about. I ordered an oat flat white and it didn’t disappoint me, hence the art 😅 but it didn’t bother me much since the coffee was great. It had a nice blend of strong espresso and smooth milk. Definitely will give it another go! They have indoor and outdoor seats.

    First time stopping in here in almost 15 years just a few moments ago (14/05 @12pm) and I've decided I'll never go anywhere else in town now! Friendliest Barista who has made me the best Matcha Latte with cinnamon, she is gifted! I'm currently hugging my cup!
