Such a gorgeous bakery! It’s way too tempting to stop here on the way home from work. the carrot cake, the brownies, the cheesecake. all of the cakey goodness! And if you manage to stave off the midweek cravings — the perfect way to start your Saturday!(If only they opened on Sundays!)

This is an absolute gem of a bakery/café. I work just around the corner and find it almost impossible to avoid stopping by each morning for a perfectly made flat white with a deliciously fluffy raspberry scone and homemade jam. For lunch the soups and rotisserie chicken/beef sandwiches are really special. The treats such as the raspberry & Lemon cake, carrot cake, Lemon Curd cake and raspberry cheesecake brownies are to die for. Be sure to visit, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing treats. And the coffee is great too as is the banter from the two lovely ladies who own the place

Perfect little spot for a coffee. Had the best flat white I’ve had in a long time and a delicious peanut butter chocolate brownie with my son. We had plenty of space and felt welcome. They do wedding cakes as well apparently; there was a couple having a tasting. Wish I got to try everything! Was hoping to try a doughnut. Maybe next time.

I LOVETHISPLACE. SOMUCH. I CAN’T STOPTYPINGINCAPSBECAUSETHAT’S HOW I FEELABOUTIT. There are so many nice things here it’s hard to pick one, but pick one I shall. She has these carrot cake truffles which is all grand yeah. Except they have the cream cheese icing also THROUGH the cake mix. It’s the most unbelievable thing you’ve ever tasted if you’ve got a sweet tooth. Why has no one thought of this before now?!! *Top Tip: It’s owned by the loveliest lady — Miss Caryna who has the most wonderful story about the origins of the shop and the name. If you stop in and she happens to be there, ask her about it.

Yay what a little gem this cakery is on Capel Street. The owner Caryna told our little Unilocal group the story behind her little business. It’s named after her Italian Fathers’ family that ran a business in Italy and you can see the love that goes into every little cake. I got to taste a bit of carrot cake which was melt in the mouth. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of space for sitting around and I haven’t tried the coffee yet but I will definitely try it when I am again in the area.

I love this little place! Had the beef sambo, it’s delish! The chocolate cake with vanilla icing is my favourite.

It’s always good to find new shops open up. Good luck to them. In time they may get better. However, we find the coffee servings a little small for the value. But, their peanut-chocolate cake. Excellent. Never tasted anything like that before. Very tasty. A few more seats would be nice. I felt like we had to leave one we got served. Give the customer the opportunity to hang round more. Oh. Music was not great. But that’s just my taste!

Whopper little coffee spot! Cool atmosphere, friendly staff and good prices. Coffee served at a drinkable temperature too, which is important! Only had the brownie but all of the food looked great. The brownie itself was ridiculous, too nice in fact.

This place is fabulous. I had the kale sandwich. I have honestly never tasted focaccia bread like this in my life! The filling was kale, avocado, feta with some delicious lemony mayo. My pal had a challah roll with chicken which she loved! Again, she said the roll was lovely. It had a subtle sweet favour. The cake truffles were little cinnamon bites of heaven– incredibly moist! The chocolate biscuit squares were spot on as well. Nice coffees and unbelievable value too.

Seeeeriooously good coffee and cakes. The best in a mile, no doubt. And I say this as a picky espresso drinker and a sweet treats enthusiast, so I wouldn’t throw them a five star review for nothing. I don’t care for lattes or whatever — diluted coffee scoff scoff -, but that espresso they serve, it’ll keep me coming back for sure. And the cakes… They actually know how to make them flavourful and NOT dry — a major peeve of mine with pastries and cakes in Dublin. They also make bigger cakes to order, I can only imagine they’re worth every euro going for what you can sample there. I know I’m merely waiting for a good excuse to get one! Everything’s served in take away cups/bags, but if you can find a seat in the teeny space in front of the counter, you’ll be more than welcome to stay and enjoy whatever you’re having there. It’s not really a place to hang around with friends for long, but don’t let that stop you, it’s perfect for a more casual or quick coffee. Also a good option for lunch, especially if you’re just in for a take away or not with a big group. Nice vegetarian options too! In summary, it’s a nice little bakery and café, with delicious treats and perfect coffee, that manages to be quiet and cheerful in equal measure.

Having sampled Caryna’s infamous raspberry cheesecake brownie at the Dublin Flea market on too many occasions to recall, I was excited to hear that she had opened a café on Capel Street! First impressions, its very smart looking on the outside, and its cheerful colour scheme and hanging baskets certainly stands out alongside its older neighbours on the vibrant Capel Street area. I had hoped there would be more seating inside, but there are a handful of stools at the window and to the side. Grand if you want a quick cup of coffee, but not if you want an intimate tea and cake with a friend. The cakes are priced around the € 3 – 4 mark. I got the cheesecake brownie to go(which is DIVINE), and a slice of the carrot cake, which blessedly didn’t have raisins, but dates instead! They have a couple of vegan cake options too, and they provide helpful allergen info for all their cakes. They also offer a limited range of salads and sandwiches for the lunch crowd, but its clear that the passion here lies with the baking. The owner and cakes are a delight to behold, definitely worth popping in to get some weekend treats to take-away! They also make cakes to order, and sometimes hold healthy baking classes at the weekends. Just a FYI — there is a charge on card payments under € 10.

Had a little visit here early in the week, Had not heard anything about the place before bar that it was newly opened. To start it’s a really really gorgeous space, really inviting and very pretty. The have the place stuffed to the gills! With tempting tasty treats and on the morning I went some free cheese cake by the till which I may or may not have eatin my fair share of. And bought a slice for the road. The staff were all nice and friendly too. Of course I expected everything to be delicious, which it was but what I did not expect to be amazing was the coffee. Not that I thought it would be terrible! But it was really good! They do it right! And it was fab. I can see myself visiting many times as there are just so many tasty little treats to sample

It’s small and it’s pretty and they’ve got cake– yay! Everything looked lovely so I couldn’t make up my mind and went for a slice of espresso cheese cake AND raspberry and dark chocolate brownie. The brownie was delish, the cheesecake sadly wasn’t. The sit-in area doesn’t took too appealing to me, just because I don’t like bar stools unless I’m in a bar. They are just so uncomfortable for eating. I haven’t tried their coffee yet but will surely return to do so and have another one of those fabulously rich brownies.

A cute little cakery that opened on Saturday. We popped in to check out the cakes(it’s dedicated to cakery, bakery and coffee) and will be back to check out the soup and savouries that will be available from Thursday. Caryna told us the story behind the café’s name(her Italian father’s family ran one of the same name in Rome) and sold us amazing looking desserts. Haven’t tried the coffee yet either, all the more reason to go back.
