Insomnia

Working hours says until 19:00 on Mondays. It’s 18:35 and they’re already closed. :-/

This is a nice quiet café that has a comfortable ambience. They offer a wide range of coffees and teas which can be consumed within or taken away. There is also a vast selection of biscuits, pastries, sandwiches, soups and smoothies. I would suggest if you are going in to buy food that you should go in before 1pm because the sandwiches tend to sell out by that time. The soups are all homemade and delicious. The staff are always friendly. There is parking is outside the front door. It is also on the 130 bus route. It is a lovely place to have a quiet read of your book or to meet a friend for a chat

Although there are many in Dublin, this Insomnia branch has a local flavour as it is nestled in the heart of Clontarf. It is always busy serving locals coffee and snacks on the weekends and school groups during the week. It’s a great place to hunker down and read over a fine cup of coffee though sometimes the muffins and pastries can be a little dry. Overall it’s wonderfully convenient for those living in the area.
