Taste Buds - Dublin

Lovely place for breakfast, very tasty coffee, friendly staff. book in advance because it's very busy, particularly on Sundays. good selection of breakfasts and great value.

I originally ordered the chicken Thai green curry. I was served nothing resembling a Thai curry. It was some sliced chicken(no vegetables) with some green curry paste mixed in a cup of hot water and poured on to the plate accompanied with basmatti rice and stale poppadom. I don't expect dedicated thai restaurant quality from this café but what I was served was completely unacceptable. Luckily they were still serving the breakfast menu so I ordered a breakfast bap. It was nice. Nothing else to Comment on this. The staff were lovely, and diligent. Note to owner: don't put something on the menu which you can't do to an acceptable level. 2 stars for breakfast bap and lovely staff, would be one star rating if not for the breakfast bap

OMG what a disappointment…this used to be a great little spot for breakfast but it seems to have changed hands very recently and it has gone totally downhill…the only good thing is they have kept the Staff who always provide excellent service but if the food doesn’t make the cut you are going nowhere. We used to enjoy breakfast/lunch here very regularly but given the changes…we won’t be back!! The food is not nearly as nice or as enjoyable as it used to be…what a shame

The poached eggs were overcooked and dry, and there is room for improvement in presentation and cleanliness. The coffee was served in what appeared to be dirty mugs. The staff seemed too busy to answer any customer questions.

I was disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. It used to be a great spot for breakfast, but that is no longer the case. The food was not fresh and extremely overpriced. We paid €23.50 for my wife's order of eggs and beans with chips and tea, which seemed excessive. I was charged €7 for one egg for my 8-month-old son, which I found to be outrageous. The service was very slow and when I questioned the prices, I was told the manager was not available. I would recommend avoiding this place. Paying €23.50 for a breakfast consisting of eggs, beans, chips, mushrooms, avocado, and a cup of tea seems excessive to me. The lack of options for vegetarians was also disappointing, considering the high prices. Overall, I felt that the restaurant was trying to take advantage of customers and did not prioritize customer satisfaction.
