KC Peaches

TBH I struggle with KC Peaches and consistency, I love the idea, when it’s good it’s very good and when it’s bad it very bad. You think you know what to expect and then they fall short. I had got into a habit of dropping into this branch for lunch on the way to work, and on this particular occasion I asked for toast and a coffee. € 5.60 was quoted. Then I said I’d just have a scone and coffee for a more reasonable € 3.80. Then the member of staff suggested this once they would give me the special price of € 3.80 for toast and coffee…
However, what arrived was one lonesome slice of bread. Kind of telling in an empty restaurant… it’s hard to support local businesses when you never quite know what to expect.

For me KC Peaches is one of the best food chain ever. KC Peaches restaurants are really good places to go, even in the busiest times, except in Dame Street.
Not because of the food, but because the staff.
If in ther other KCP people are always very nice with the customers, why is that not happening in dame street?
I went there last friday with a few friends for a quick lunch with good food and I found these two staff member that I was afraid that they will beat me just because I ask to repeat the bill and it was the first time of one of my friens in kcp and he didn’t get the numbers practice. Really no maners with these people. Please be a little more polite with the customers. Without them you have no job!

Big choice of salads albeit slightly confusing self service layout. A good standard overall but nothing too exciting. It’s no-​thinking-​required kind of food. Usually very busy.

Nice food, plates are a great healthy snack and the service was very good. Our coffees were delayed but Marcus brought us a complimentary short bread to say sorry.

I love this place! The food is amazing– I used to work up the road and go here every day. Proper feel good food. I love sitting upstairs, you could spend ages there sipping on a coffee, a really great place to get some work done. I most recently had a fried egg breakfast ciabatta and it was SO GOOD. Oozy egg and cheese with rocket and salsa. They have a good range of teas and coffee with great dairy free options.

I’m glad I gave this place a second chance. I’d been avoiding it over the past few months due to a couple of bad experiences with really rude staff, so just kept going to the one on Nassau st. Because KC peaches Americano is the best in Dublin!!!
So I went in this morning and was greeted by a new (to me) staff member, the friendliest girl ever! So smiley and cheery so early in the morning! I’ll be back definitely, I’m glad this place sorted out their staff issue! Long may it continue!

Great place on the main drag of Dublin! Very good and healthy food at an affordable price for backpackers. You get to serve your own portions so you can go a little heavy as well!
Great customer service, I will definitely be coming back again!

Although KC Peaches do the loveliest cakes and sambos, the star of this show is their buffet. For 6 – 10 euros you can get various plates of whatever you gosh-​darn please, be it pea and bacon salads, fruity cous cous dishes, hot lasagne, beef stroganoff — anything. The grub changes daily and once you get a plate, whatever the size, you can mound it up as high as you’re able. I often see this as a jenga-​eque stacking challenge. They also have a box you can fill, which is a little cheaper, for anyone looking for takeaway.
There’s nothing that washes down a tasty mountain of eclectic salads & freshly cooked dinners quite like their house wine. This, plus the central location and comfy seats upstairs, make it a perfect choice for after work chats. The food is always enjoyed by my vegan and coeliac buddies, as well as dieters, and the staff are cheery and great craic — even for us hanger-​onners, who partake in one or two extra wines after our food. Watch out for KC Peaches great deals and offers.

Another winning lunch on the go from KC Peaches.
It’s not the easiest thing to do to grab lunch in town if you’re trying to avoid bread and the usual delicious things we’re meant to avoid. Especially if you’re on the go. This place is great as it caters for every way of eating, and most importantly, you don’t feel hard done by as it tastes delicious too.

Heard their matcha lattes were good so that’s what I ordered. I had mine made with almond milk. It tasted sour. I added too packets of sugar and it still didn’t help the disgusting taste. I thought it was me, so I had my friend try it and she said it tasted weird too. This wasn’t my first time having a matcha latte so I knew something was off. I went back to the barista and was told that it was their homemade almond milk so it can be a bit chunky… I was willing to overlook that. I explained myself and he was willing to make me another with soymilk instead. I did apologize profusely since this is almost something I never do, but he still kept giving me weird looks the entire time he made me a new one. The one with soymilk was a million times better. Still just an okay matcha latte and not worth the almost 4 euro. I will go to Kaph next time.

Amazing service! I just walked in to get a Matcha Latte with almond milk cause they are one of the few places that have almond milk. Unfortunately, that evening they had run out but they offered vanilla soy instead. They were very apologetic and offered a large size for the price of a regular beverage ‘to make up for it’. Very nice gesture indeed.

Really nice food. The buffet is great value. You can get a small, medium or large plate and pile it on! The medium plate cost me € 7.95 and I could mix hoy and cold food. The cakes are delicious also. Worth a visit just for that. My only criticism is the toilets. It’s a big place but only 2 loos and they are not the cleanest.

Have only picked up treats on the way home so can’t comment on the dining experience.
But oh my jaysus are their cakes fabulous — I have tried the various cheesecakes, the caramel shortbread and carrot cake and they are all fantastic… very well balanced flavours and textures without being overly sweet.
Also the staff are always very friendly to provide recommendations which is a bonus as I’m usually overwhelmed by the selection!

I love this café it just simply nice ‘n’ elegant
Just perfect food and desert for all tastes … recommended to give it a try

Beautiful place. AMAZING pastries !! The raspberry crumble is fantastic, even there scones were beautiful. Must-​stop for anyone with a sweet tooth. :)

KC Peaches have expanded onto Dame Street, and have brought their delectable window of goodies with them.
In fact KC Peaches should be slapped with a fine for blocking up that section of Dame Street, where people wait at the lights, but inevitably end up staring at brownies and missing the little green man blinking behind them. They’re just a very naughty café.
As to the food, well it’s just as gorgeous as it appears to be. Their walnut brownies are soft and wonderful, and you should grab at least one of these if you ever happen to give into temptation and wander in.
There is plenty of space, so make sure to wander upstairs and get stuck into your well deserved cake, while watching everybody wander along Dame St.
The toilets are not that nice, so I’m knocking a star clean off for that., and I would go as far to advise, hold it in until you get home.
This place can also get very busy, very quickly, so be ready to become a little assertive at the coffee collection point, as lattes and teas mount up before you, with no sign of your black coffee appearing anytime soon.
Other than that, it’s as beautiful as it’s cake display appears.

Decided to give the food in here a try, up until now I’ve been too distracted by the baked goods ;-)
So basically you grab a plate (S, M or L) and spoon as much lovely salads on as possible! I got the medium plate, it’s a small medium, which costs about € 7.50 I think. I got a generous serving of a tasty vegetarian lasagne and then tried a few of the salads. There is an amazing variety of salads here and I think they change the selection on a regular basis, so would recommend for the salad lovers. I had a beetroot salad, some kind of bean mixture and a kale and almond salad.

Having used KC Peaches as a caterer for my previous employer, I was a little skeptical about how this café would perform. I need not worry, this place is a little port in a storm!
In the city center, it’s hard to find a nice quiet little coffee shop that’s warm and comfortable and NOT Starbucks or Costa. This place is just what I have been looking for. Their layout is slightly confusing, but once your brain kicks in and you realise it’s self-​service, it only gets better.
I would recommend the chicken and mushroom pie. Huge chunks of chicken breast with a delicious sauce. I prefer to have my food in the take out boxes as it is easier to eat from. There’s lots to choose from, it’s a proper little deli. I am a tea drinker, and I think the prices are quite reasonable. I’ve been told by those I have attended with that the coffee is also decent. I have seen the size of their cakes, not for the dieters amongst us, but sure it is the holiday season, so maybe a treat here and there is okay!
Most cafes I have visited before usually feel a little cold and not quite like home, but upstairs, this place has a wonderful view! I could sit by the window for hours, people watching — especially at this time of year!
Definitely on my ‘will return in the future’ list. If you’re in town doing a spot of Christmas shopping, I well recommend popping into this central location to take a load off.

New KC Peaches! If you love cake this is you place! Coffee is also a pretty nice thing to get while you are here. Even lunch can be taken care off.
In fact, if you wake up with out aim of the day. Head over to KC peaches with a book and just spend the day eating and reading!

LOVE this new location, especially the seating upstairs. Very nice and cozy and as always, excellent food. KC Peaches happens to cater for our company so I get to enjoy them once a week :) (not this branch, the one near the grand canal)
I love all the salads and hot food — but really what I love here is the desserts. They do great brownies and cheesecakes; I ordered a vanilla cheesecake on this particular visit. Delicious!
