Krüst Bakery

Dublins beste Deutsche Baeckerei: D :D Die haben Cronuts, Berliner, Brezeln, Sandwiches usw mmm lecker… den Kaffee hab ich auch gemocht, ist Bio und angeblich von Bob Marleys Firma beliefert, haha wie?

These guys make great coffee, and they’re right across the road from my college. The cronuts are pretty spectacular, makes me think there should be more snack mashups. Like a cookie muffin. Mookie? Cuffin? Also you can pay with Bitcoin! Super cool.

I’ve been a big fan of Krust’s cronuts since they opened, deliciously flaky and if you’re a fan of caramel make sure you check them out! The staff are always happy to see you, and will happily chat away about their recommendations and life in general. They seem to get swamped by tourists everyday, so I would recommend heading in early if you can — otherwise all the best ones will be gone!

Looking at some of the reviews, it seems there’s a problem maintaining supply to meet demand. Wandered in with my girlfriend after a Saturday wandering around town and the shelves were nearly empty. The queue to order and pay was only four or five people long, but it took an inordinate amount of time to reach our turn. My girlfriend was disappointed to not get a mint hot chocolate, as was advertised on their board, but she settled for regular and I a chilli hot chocolate, which had no distinguishable chilli flavour, just that of powdered Cadbury’s hot chocolate, which is probably not great when there are so many places in the locale which offer a premium variety. Neither of us could finish our medium drinks, as the powder kept coking out in clumps. The person working the coffee station forgot to make my drink momentarily as she was too busy talking to a friend who had come in after us. Won’t be going back.

So Krüst has been in my bookmarks for months! Just never got around to it until yesterday and I was a bit underwhelmed (sad). BUT!!! I came in after lunch so I’m assuming I was way too late for all the Krust goodness everybody has been talking about. It’s Abit cold so I didn’t sit and eat I got a bag to take away and bring home to the grandfather, who is a donut fanatic. Well any cake fanatic :)
There was literally three types of donuts left to choose from and some of them looked like they where lying for ages so I had three Nutella jungle donuts. They were OK a bit to much full of bread I can’t explain it. Wasn’t the same as any other donut id had. But the Nutella filling that oozed out was amazing. They where 6 euro altogheter. Still wondering if they do any deals for a box of a few I never asked? The guy behind the till was nice and chatty anyways :). I also checked out the food counter with the sandwhiches and it looked a mess and very empty which I also put down to the fact I arrived late.
So I will be back! For cronuts definatley. And next time I will be earlier ;)

Decent baked goods. Decent coffee. Rather generic though.
If you want a reliably good bread or cronut or muffin, shop here. The doughnuts are incredibly bread-​like in texture, they should not be like that!

Stopped in for some herbal tea, and grabbed a king Boston donut as well. Very good baked treats, but only giving 4 stars because the tea were just bags, and not loose leaf as I’m used to. Great little place! Especially on Sunday’s as everything else is usually closed!

Great Study Spot & Student Discount. Perfect place to cozy up and get some work done. As a Trinity student, it is the best place within a five minute walk to grab a sandwich or latte and concentrate. They also frequently have student deals as well as deals for the public. Great atmosphere, great coffee, very accommodating staff. Strongly recommend!
P. S. try the cronuts

A fine place for coffee and treat, staff was very genuine and accommodating even though they were in the process of closing up for the evening.
The main downer was in the Cronuts themselves they were tasty and a great selection but probably through our own fault for coming late weren’t the most fresh (also asked for the coffee to-​go but instead served it to us in porcelain mugs minor detail but…) hoping to go back again earlier in the day to try them fresh and hopefully revise my review.

A friend who goes to college in Dublin took me to this bakery as he said the cronut’s are to die for. I had the caramel cronut and he was correct — it was one of the best pastries I’ve ever had. I had to come back for another cronut and a macchiato before I left Dublin.

Ordered 2 platters from here on Saturday for my dance troupe rehersals.
I got a mixed box of 12 doughnuts and 12 cronuts.
At € 60 in total including 2 coffees for the journey to the studio it was an expensive treat but oh my died and gone to sugary food heaven.
I wish I hadn’t got them because now I know how Devine they are my waistline is going to suffer!
I tried the glazed cronut, the ferrero rochet and the Oreo. (Bites of each, not entire portions, which I totally would have done if I’d been on my own with no witnesses!)
I ordered these by email at 3am the night before (because I misspelled the original email address at the normal hour of 7pm) and when I went in on Saturday morning at 10am on the button, literally as the doors were opened, the boxes were ready and waiting for me. Impressive!

I came here for coffee on a rainy Sunday as I’ve been meaning to try out this place for a good while. The coffee was pretty good in general, but the guy messed up my order by making a cappuccino when I’d ordered a white americano (don’t know how you could mix those up). He only made me the correct drink after I’d asked, so I don’t think he noticed the mistake until I had to pay and I questioned him about the price, so I have to take off a star unfortunately. The café itself was nice enough, the atmosphere was pretty stale but they have nice couches and a pleasant seating area. The food selection is like a deli with a few sandwiches, and they also sell a lot of pastries like cronuts (apparently Krust is the only retailer of them) and doughnuts, but I’m not a pastry person so I can’t exactly comment on those.
Overall, decently priced coffee, a variety of pastries and nice seating. The staff were also pretty friendly in general and the location is convenient.

… Was excited about checking this place out and finally hooking myself up with a Cronut however it just feel a little short of the out of this world experience peeps had been raving about.
On a rainy day, slipped in here for a coffee and Cronut, it was only 3:30 or so and the pastry shelves were very deserted looking, very little options/​flavours available also my friend asked for a recommendation, the guy seemed startled and didn’t know how to respond, tad awkward! Next was me and I picked one out, as he lifted the Cronut half of it stuck to the board it was on and in the end the dude still continued and served me up half a Cronut, half the layers were back in the cabinet :-(plus it was the last of that flavour so I just settled for the half loaded Cronut. From what I tasted, yum and I’d love to see this place stocked and try out another flavour.
The café itself was chilly, so a cold winters day and it lacked the warmth ye need from a place, nipping in out of the cold and rain, ye want to be able to take off the wet coat.

One of my favourite cafes in Dublin for many reasons. They serve awesome Marley Coffee, which is always spot on and has three different strengths available. They serve Nitro Cold Brew coffee, a cross between non-​alcoholic beer and cold coffee, give it a shot. They are the only people in the city, apart from the Marker hotel to be baking cronuts fresh everyday, and the flavours are awesome! The Oreo cookie one is a fave! They do fresh baked donuts too and fresh baked in-​house bread, try their pretzels or a toasted cheese sambo in their cheesy bread rolls. There is plenty of seating, and extra area downstairs too. They do bargain student deals and really tasty, big, creative, sandwiches. The staff are fricken awesome too, always smiling and very chilled. Go check this place out if you already haven’t.

Had my first ever Cronut and it was lovely! Tasty donuts but the Cronut definitely overshadowed them. Tasty coffee too and very friendly staff… Will be back!

Excellent staff and service, always so friendly and helpful! Have only had positive experiences visiting the bakery. I had my first Cronut here and loved it, the donuts are good too. They have a nice selection of flavors and everything is fluffy and very fresh. I enjoyed the white hot chocolate and definitely want to try some of their other flavors (Orange & Cinnamon, Rum, Mint… yes, please!) but I wasn’t blown away by the Oreo iced latte. They have sandwiches and lots of tasty fresh breads and bagels that I definitely plan on trying in the future.
Location is great, very central and convenient to stop by for a coffee and something sweet. Lots of seating including some cozy couches near the window. Knowing the service is so warm and friendly I definitely make it a point to visit if I have a craving!

Following the Down With Teary Tuesday Unilocal event at Krust I hear so many amazing things about it that I had to try it.
The place is lovely and much nicer than I expected, perfect to spend some time with friends. I had the Cronut, of course, and it was the first one I ever had. I hope they’re all like this, because it was incredible!
And I was feeling adventurous so I had another first: cold brew coffee. I was warned that it would be strong, but to be honest I’ve had stronger espresso on the sunnier parts of Europe. But this was really good, and it had a very nice tannic finish that reminded me of red wine.
Will be back there really soon!

Had an Oreo cronut and an iced vanilla latte her which was hand-​numbingly frosty… just the way I like ‘em! The cronut was sticky, sweet and flaky… total decadence that came wrapped up in a cute little cardboard box to tote around town with me. Throw some really friendly, enthusiastic staff into the mix and this place comes up a winner in my books! Vive le cronut!

Nice bright coffee shop at the bottom of George’s Street. I had a refreshing iced coffee on a hot sunny day in Dublin if you can beleive the sunny part.
Lovely selection of sandwiches and pastries and the shop itself feels airy and comfortable. The prices are very reasonable and about as cheap as anywhere I have been recently.
Also got to try a nitro coffee which is not for the faint of heart as it’s very strong.

Ok, so I gave in to the cronut craze. Have I missed out the last year? Not really. Krüst is a cool place, no doubt. I like their coffee, great service, relaxed atmosphere. The cronut? I had the mocha one, it was a bit stale and I don’t need to have one again.

My cousin has been ranting and raving about this new hybrid pastry for over a year called a Cronut (half croissant/​half donut). I happened to notice the Krust bakery last week when I was out and about in town with a friend who also had never tried a Cronut. So we both decided to pop in and try this elusive sticky treat. They have an offer of any coffee and a Cronut for € 4.50 which we both got. All I can say is I’ll never eat a donut or a croissant again! The Cronut I had here blew the two out of the water! Just as well I don’t live in town as I’d be far too tempted by this tasty treat. My review is on the Cronut entirely but the coffee was quite good too and the girl serving was very friendly which was a bonus :-)
Will definitely be getting another Cronut from here again and I’m not gonna lie, I’m REALLY looking forward to it!

The smell as you walk in the door is incredible!
Lots of donuts to choose from and it would be a hard decision but I went for a cronut so I chose a chocolate one.
This was soft and not too flaky. It was delicious.
Also serving up decent coffee.
At the back there’s a sandwich, salad and pizza counter. All looks fab & fresh.
Grab a seat in the window and you can do some serious people watching over George’s Street.
Current special is a coffee and a cronut for € 4.50 — how can that be wrong?!

Krüst Bakery, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. There’s the cronuts, doughnuts, Marley Coffee, and sandwiches. And did I mention the cronuts? But most of all, they’re just the friendliest bunch in the world.
I first made the acquaintance of Rob, Garret and the rest of the Krüst krew in the cosy original Aungier Street location. So it’s great to see that they’ve opened their second (significantly larger) branch on George’s Street — which also happens to be the world’s first Smart Coffee Shop. What does that mean, you ask? In their own words: «We didn’t just want to launch wireless chargers like Starbucks in America. Instead we went for the complete package: iPad checkouts with Bitcoin support, streaming your own music in the bakery, coffee and sandwich ordering via smartphone to cut waiting times with office deliveries, digital loyalty cards, wireless chargers and and and.»
So if you fancy a tasty bit of tech with your treats, this is the place.

I’d been hearing this name too often not to pop in when I happened upon it. I got a coffee and donut and then ended up caving and buying a Cronut too. And thank God I did because by comparison, the regular donut was almost disappointing! The fad is really worth the hype., it was absolutely delicious. The coffee was grand, but I’ll be back for that Cronut.
The staff are lovely, very friendly and fun and make you feel very welcome. Nice job guys! See you again soon.
