😠 Not impressed with your delivery driver. This area in front of the courts (Park Gate street) is already incredibly dangerous for cyclists without totally blocking off the one safe stretch. People often mention coffee, tram, staff, great, friendly, nice, lovely, area, good, cafe,

    For a unique dining experience inside an old tram with original features, this is a favourite with locals and tourists alike.There is an atmospheric outdoor seating area and a secret covered garden with a tree in the middle outside around the back of the tram. Situated in a public square opposite the side of the Jervis Shopping centre, you can relax and get good food and drinks at very reasonable prices. They have a wonderful menu which I have partially photographed and also a glimpse inside the tram, as well as the outside area which has been recently made more beautiful. Very friendly staff and a unique experience, that's what makes dining here a joy. Enjoy the photos! Enjoy the experience!

    Cozy cafe close to Henry street, opposite the jervis car park entrance. As the name suggests, feels like a tram on the outside and inside. Although it might look small, they’ve reasonable seating inside and a few tables outside as well. The menu is quite small, but they’ve options for vegetarians and vegans. Davorn was friendly and helpful - he recommended the Cajun chicken toasted sandwich - it was filling and delicious. It had the right mix and proportion of ingredients. Chicken was well cooked and it was not overloaded with mayo or cheese. Vegan sausage roll, it was nice, good for an evening snack with a coffee or tea. Staff was friendly and courteous. Prices were reasonable compared to some of the other cafes in and around the city centre.

    2 stars for Irish breakfast. Not fresh cooked, more to just reheat those sausages, bacon & etc, everything is dry and doesn't taste good, hope it's not from the day before. I would like to support local business but pls show your sincerity. (5 stars for very friendly staffs)

    A very cozy and sweet place that I would love to revisit. I tried their hot chocolate and it was great. Hoping to revisit to grab a bite soon.

    Lovely spot - the team work hard to keep you comfy. The sandwichs are great and the secret garden lovely. The new loo ok the square is a gift. This is real tram, imported, restored, expanded. It's gorgeous in normal times to sit in and there's a rear inside area. In covid times they now have a huge awning that covers many tables and there is a secret covered garden area at the back. Working hard doing lovely stuff.

    Came here on a rainy day and really enjoyed it. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the oat milk cappuccino was great. I took 1 star off because the croissant was good but not great. Overall I would definitely come back to try more.

    Ancient meets modern. This is the simplest way to describe this little vintage cafe in the heart of Dublin. This place has a beautiful history which can be read by whoever visits this cafe. As the name suggests, this cafe is an old tram that has been modified and so the seats inside are like that of a tram. Seating outside, though is like that of a normal cafe, is beautiful on a sunny day. So in either way it’s a beautiful win-win situation, where, either you enjoy the seating inside the tram while soaking up the history or enjoy the pleasant weather outside in the background of the vintage tram.

    Really like the Tram and it's a great concept. Unlike the other Tram Cafe location in St Patrick's Park, this one is a bit of a problem. The area it's in attracts a great many outdoor cider drinkers and the likes, so the whole area can feel a little dingy. But this isn't the cafe's fault.

    The Tram Cafe was an unexpected bonus on our visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral. Our youngest was shell-shocked at the deliciousness of the gluten free chocolate chip cookie. (I'm judgy about the texture of GF goodies more than the taste, and I was equally floored by how amazing it was.) The portion sizes for just one meal (sandwich and crisps) were nearly enough for two of us. The staff members were so inviting that we felt like old friends. As an added bonus, the kids could run around in the park while Mom and Dad took our time enjoying the food and staying under the umbrella, out of the rain.

    Great little spot in the heart of Dublin! 120 years old tram restored with a lot of history behind serving as a cafe restaurant! Definitely worth of a visit!

    Honestly we stumbled across this place on our way to somewhere else and were drawn into the atmosphere and music. Great banana bread and coffee. Good, cheap, honest menu. The perfect quick bite for a stay or takeaway.

    Visit today for a treat for my grandmother, we have all been here and love it. However today , this Brazilian guy and his co worker served rotten coffee ,dirty kniefs and fork The excuse was the dishwasher ,however in the hospitality section myself , customer service is top priority. The forks should have been steeped and scrubbed before going into dishwasher. The samwhiches where soggy and cold. No apologies ,inside laughing and then on top of that it was a total waste of 20 euro ... We loved the tram. If I had off been there it would not have happened. These two employees are obviously not loving their job. This tram is an amazing place and wonderful history and story ...shame it's run by people with no manners no apologies and I would like refund .I don't pay for much

    I was there today for take out coffee and toasted sandwich. I paid for my order got my coffee and was left waiting my coffee was cold when I finally got the toasted sandwich. I only live in the apartments across the road .When i got in and looked in the box I was discussed the sandwich wasn't even toasted and it was supposed to have cheese..

  • 2/5 Olivia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Too expensive and just single-use cups. We asked if they could use our own cup, they said yes and made in a single-used cup before they put it in our own cup. This place is not sustainable at all.

  • 5/5 Briana B. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped here before our flight back home. I’m so happy we found this place. Inside seating was closed, so we sat in the patio area outside. Weather wasn’t too bad so we were okay with that. We watched the birds while we ate. The food and drinks were delicious and the staff was very nice! Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Laura Gracia A. 1 year ago on Google
    We've been wanting to go for a while but never had time to stop for a coffee till now. Beautiful old tram converted into a café where it's worth sitting inside, beautiful interior. We only tried the coffee this time, very tasteful and good service.

    This place is so cosy! I come here every day for a coffee on my lunch break at work. The staff are super nice and the food is genuinely really good. The baked goods too. Like; look at this cookie. Look At It! Bask in its glory! *Ahem* So yeah the place is great. You should totally go

    So unusual and warm on a freezing day,great selection of food mid afternoon.staff lovely.

  • 2/5 Loclann A. 4 years ago on Google
    The attraction here is that Tram has been converted into a Café, but it's service is very generic. For this reviewer the service/coffee was okay, definitely not a 4 or 5 star but maybe a 3 purely because of the Tram. For me 4 and 5 stars are for those venue's where the staff/owners put something special into their offering and I've given a 2 star because it's as though the venue is trading on it's physical environment than on being someone's café.

    Was here on a warm irsh summer Sundays. At Tram Cafe the offer good selection of hot drinks, one the best crepes in Dublin, nice spot to have a brunch at terrace overlooking the square, for a moment it felt that I'm somewhere in continental European city, not in Dublin.
