    Staff very friendly and coffee good but the incredibly small size of the tea-pots was disappointing. Would expect more from Bewleys.

    Bewleys was a traditional Dublin cafe with a great reputation. Alas, the revised Bewleys has totally lost the wonderful ambience, the delicious aroma of ground coffee and delicious cream cakes. Bambrack? Sadly due to the above this is likely to be our last visit.

    We found the service excellent. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and served us quickly as we were rushing to an event. The only negative is the almond bun. We love that bun but feel it’s not as nice as it used to be!

    Bewley’s welcomed our large family group. We were able to meet with local Irish relatives, enjoy lunch, and spend time visiting without feeling rushed. The food and coffee was wonderful! Bewley’s is a beautiful restaurant and a lovely place to spend an afternoon meal.

    A bit disappointed with the food quality. My sons pancakes were tasteless and our full irish was only OK. I expected better for the price. Could not fault the service or the ambience. Both were excellent so will probably return but only for coffee
