"There is a wonderful (and genuine) feel-good vibe aboutBrother Hubbard. The story of the rise of this gorgeous home-grown enterprise as well as the incredible food (and coffee!) they serve quite simply keeps you coming back for more and more. Pop into their northside location on Capel Street and devour a literal slice of happiness."

"Whenever I meet the big foodies - critics, food bloggers, chefs and cookbook heads I always ask them where their favourite place to eat in the city is and The Fumbally is a place that often comes out on top. If you're searching for some incredibly tasty salads, 3FE coffee, free Wi-Fi, like being surrounded by creatives and possibly have your dog in tow then The Fumbally Cafe is your spot. Get in early to guarantee yourself a spot as it's always packed (which is a great sign)."

"thefumbally.ie The magic in the Fumbally unfolded slowly when Aisling Rogerson and Luca D’Alfonso who had run the cafe in the nearby Dublin Food Co-op took over a corner building and started serving falafel. In better economic times the place would have been a convenience store. Good food times followed and Fumbally alumni have spread across the city, improving food in at least one college canteen and at market stalls, pop-ups and cafes."

"Community café The Fumbally is an idyllic place to go for a slice of cake – all baked in-house with the freshest of Irish ingredients. The menu varies from day to day, but past highlights have included a pitch-perfect gluten-free chocolate creation and a sticky toffee cake that was praised by the Irish Independent. Whatever you try, make sure you pair it with a speciality coffee by Dublin-based roasters 3fE."

"Colin Harmon is one of Dublin coffee’s most esteemed and irreverent ambassadors. Opening the original 3fe (Third Floor Espresso) in the lobby of the Twisted Pepper nightclub in 2009 and developing his now eponymous coffee brand thereafter, 3fe’s stand alone Grand Canal shop is now as much a pillar of the citywide coffee landscape as a neighbourhood essential. From their Sussex Terrace roastery they now supply a network of coffee-focussed destinations across Ireland, and serve takeaway coffees."

"Unless you’re super hungry, the scones at 3fe are big enough to share. Request butter and jam to achieve maximum scone satisfaction. Barista champion Colin Harmon opened the popular Dublin cafe’s first location in 2009, moved to Grand Canal Street in 2011 and started roasting beans in 2014."
