Best French Bakery in Dublin

"The awning outside this local eatery on Capel Street declares, “This is the café you have been looking for.” The plant-filled independent café focuses on simple, pure food and takes pride in making everything from scratch. Breakfast and brunch are served seven days a week, with brunch available until nearly 4 pm. Dig into the lightly scrambled Turkish eggs menemen, with herbs and feta, or treat yourself to the signature French toast with white chocolate and coconut mascarpone."

"It opened during the dark years of the recession, but Brother Hubbard has gone from strength to strength, recently expanding its branch on the vibrant Capel Street. It shines when it comes to brunch – try the Turkish eggs menemen, layered with zingy whipped feta, and get the fried halloumi on top (the accompanying zhoug has a real kick)."

"From carefully chosen local suppliers to an enthusiastic emphasis on pickling and fermentation, if you’re familiar with The Fumbally’s food offering you’ll know they do not cut corners. Naturally, this ethos extends to their coffee menu where they equally embrace seasonally changing flavours. On the chalkboard above the coffee machine you’ll find the two current roasters in their grinders as well as their farm origin."

"Regaling as a mix-match bourgeois café, the vibe here is very much welcoming and reinforcing a spirit of optimism in its own way. Right next to the cafe is the Fumbally Stables, where the team believes that expressions come to life- more like a space for workshops, classes and other performances. What started as a falafel corner with a passion for food, has become a serious food location."

"This dog and kid friendly cafe (that should come with a hipster warning) serves up amazing food made with simple recipes. The Fumbally Eggs are to die for and will really set you up for the day. They use 3FE coffee too so you just can't go wrong here."

"Yes, yes, we may have a bit of an obsession with this place but it's mainly for these reasons: their coffee is in my opinion the best coffee in Ireland, their branding is in a league of it's own and their food is not to be overlooked - come here early at the weekend and you'll be treated to colossal portions of food that is full of flavour. 3FE is always busy but the queue moves fast and the communal seating means tables turn nice and quick without wasting space."

"3FE is the head honcho of coffee in Dublin at the moment and it's easy to see why. The supply wholesale coffee to many of the city's best caf�s and restaurants and have a café on Lower Grand Canal Street. They approach coffee in a strict, purist sense with temperatures, sizes and flavours all approached forensically."

"A favourite choice amongst other coffee shops in Dublin, this expert cafe roast their own coffee beans, offer tasting courses and make excellent food produce too. This is an amazingly chill place to go after work and network. Or you know, just relax."

"There's no better place to eat brunch than by the beautiful canal. Angelina's know exactly how to do brunch, whether you're looking for sweet or savoury."

"A little gem in the sloping Cow street in Temple Bar is Queen of Tarts where you can indulge in chocolate fudge cake and enjoy a traffic-free terrace seat while sipping your cup of choice. Check out the great menu of traditional Irish soups and soda bread, pulled ham, tuna melt sandwiches, fudge cake, pecan tart, Baileys Cheesecake dessert, and a lot more. Queen of tarts has a huge menu that offers morning breakfast, brunch, lunch and snack meals."

"Cakes, scones, tarts, brownies - everything that you dream of when you've got a cup of tea in hand. They also make some deadly baked eggs."

"Dubliners around Dawson Street grab one of the best vegan-friendly cuisines around the city in Tang Coffee—another famous restaurant around Dawson St. They offer three, widely-varying menus—breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Their signature dish during breakfast is the Buckwheat Pancakes—for only €8.75 your squishy buckwheat pancakes are served with greek yogurt, fresh berries, pecan nuts, honey, and almond butter."

"Even though we received the worst news as of late, it was very important for me to include The Shaw in this list as I have some of the best memories there. The Bernard Shaw has acted as an iconic cultural hub and the ultimate spot to chill out after a stressful working day. With the Big Blue Bus and Eatyard on site, foodies would always get their fill and with various DJ areas, music heads could bop the night away."

"The Shaw' as it's known to its young, trendy clientele is the Dublin equivalent of London's Shoreditch pubs. Seemingly compact and indistinguishable from other pubs from the outside it's the sprawling beer garden inside where all the excitement is contained. The Blue Bus contains a pizzeria, the walls are covered in colourful graffiti and the pool table is rarely left unattended."

"The Cupcake Bloke opened The Bakery in Rialto last year and it's one of the cutest places ever. They have everything from scones, cakes, bread and cupcakes, as well as an array of jams and Irish made treats. They also make the tastiest pasteis de nata I've had."

"Nestled in between Camden Street and Pleasants Place, The Cake Caf� is one of Dublin's hidden gems. Every aspect of this building has been thought through from the solar paneling that powers the caf� to their ethical coffee and, most importantly, their food and cakes. If you're looking to sample baked goods of the highest order, order a cake or small treats for any occasion, or simply enjoy lunch using fresh, local ingredients then this is the perfect place to slip into."

"This paradisal cocoon is tucked away behind The Last Book Shop on Camden Street. At the back, you’ll find a door that opens out to the cutest area with bamboo shoots, mosaic walls made from broken CDs, books, piano keys and tiles and colourful tables and chairs that is The Cake Café. On the menu, you'll find seasonal, fresh and intriguing flavours."

"You can’t go wrong with any of the offerings in The Cake Café. We have a special fondness for the lemon yoghurt cake, though."

"There seems to be a million of these around Dublin city, and thank goodness for that. One of my favorites is the Vegan Vanilla Glaze with Pistachio, yum!"

"For a long time, the little Rolling Donut kiosk on O’Connell Street was the only place to get them in town."

"Aungier Danger was named for its original location on Dublin’s Aungier Street, but they have recently found a second home in Arnotts department store, and on October 14, 2016, they opened another outlet of the same name on George’s Street. The newest shop is already causing the same kind of hysteria as the first one did when it opened in 2015, with hordes of dedicated doughnut lovers queueing in the rain to try and get their hands on a limited edition flavour, specially created for the opening day. Must-try flavour: Oreo marshmallow"

"The place that put donuts on the map, 'Aungier Danger' is paving the way for Dublin's donut scene. Featuring a huge inventive and mouth-watering selection including banoffee, honey foam and raspberry ripple – these guys know how to impress."

"The new kid on the block – but if the queues out the door during its first week have told us anything, it’s that they are seriously popular. The flavour creations are excellent and the quality is seriously fresh."

"This other much loved local chain sells some of the most decadent donuts you'll find. From Nutella ring donuts to peanut buttercup flavour, their moreish fillings and toppings will satisfy even the sweetest tooth. They've even recently started selling UNICORN donuts which pretty much makes them legends in our eyes."

"We ate this unicorn donut at Offbeat Donut Company in the land of leprechauns. The irony is palpable. It was a dark day when we realized that our favorite Dublin donut shop had closed."

"With a menu that changes based on seasonality, Platform 61 remains fresh and hip as one of Dublin’s best brunch spots. They do traditional dishes such as Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros, but they also do slightly different plates such as Shallot and Pea Ravioli and The Stun Bun, a grilled chicken sandwich served with guacamole and roast potatoes. Platform 61 are open for outdoor dining on South William Street."
