This is one of the rare spots in Ireland where the hot chocolate is the real deal—actual melted chocolate, not the usual powder shortcut. Service runs crisp and attentive, the pastries and products are curated rather than generic, and the overall experience elevates the entire city’s value proposition. The place doesn’t just serve customers; it sets a benchmark others should be aiming for.

Lovely bakery with beautiful cakes, scones and bakes, fresh artisan loaves and a fine coffee selection- the flat white was great. It was busy each time we visited, always a good sign. They do fresh sandwiches to order as well as sausage rolls etc. They also have vegan options and plant milks available. Very friendly service 👍

I loved everything! The service was wonderful. They made me one of the best sandwiches I've had in my adult life on their beautiful sourdough (excuse the mess I made of it in my photo while eating it!). The matcha latte was great and the bakes were all superb. Lots of nice treats to enjoy here- homemade granola, overnight oats, breads, all sorts of bakes, soup, sandwiches, crisps, preserves... So happy to stop here on my journey ☺️ Thank you ❤️

Hi Angie,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I imagine your focus was more about getting to eat the sandwich rather than getting a photo of it 😅
I'll make sure to let the staff know about their good work, we couldn't do what we do without the team we have at Matildas.
Looking forward to seeing you again!
