Cafe Bia - Dublin

Bad coffee. Plain and simple. The tables all need a good clean. The staff are okay but the food is not good quality- you get what you pay for though....

We visited the restaurant twice to confirm our initial bad experience. The establishment has no atmosphere, with random wall decorations and an open kitchen where a chef with a large black beard was working. The place was not very clean, with dirty ventilation vents in the ladies' bathroom and a filthy glass table covered in crumbs and fingerprints. The waitress seemed indifferent and left menus on top of the crumbs. I ordered French toast with fries and tea, which were decent, but the bacon tasted strange. The fries were half raw and cold, while a nearby table received delicious brown fries. My fiancee's burger was satisfactory, with a nice sauce, but a neighboring table received a side salad with their burger. There were no sugar or milk on the table, and only one wooden stick for coffee instead of spoons. The waitresses appeared confused and our second visit was a mistake. Overall, it is not worth eating at this restaurant.

We visited this cafe on a weekday late afternoon. It looked small from the outside but not when we entered. There are tables and couches so quite a relaxed atmosphere. The service was excellent and the staff are very friendly. The menu has a good variety. I had a voucher and we both ordered the homemade vegetable lasagne with garlic bread. I was surprised as it was definitely home made and delicious with lots of vegetables. I recommend this cafe and will visit regularly especially to try the crepes which looked fantastic.

Lovely food, and the prices weren't too steep for a cafe right in the centre of Dublin. The staff were friendly and the crepes they make are AMAZING.

After spending a month on the continent, we were looking for an option to wind down our trip with a different type of breakfast. This restaurant is a simple eatery on O'Connell street near the millenium spire and offers light fare . We enkoyed porridge with fresh fruit and pastries. Quick and easy and an option to pub fare. Under 15 Euros for us both
