Tea Time Express

Best place in the city for Chester Cakes! I stop in whenever I can.

Used to eat here when I worked on the North side. Lovely quick eats when ur on the go, cakes are great too. Very affordable. Tiny little shop that you would never notice until someone showed you. This place is old school Dublin, and bests any crappy sandwich that you’d get in Tesco, Spar and the like. If only they took over Cuisine de France we would have nice bread in this country!

«Ah howye luv, yer usual brekkie roll is it?»
«Yes please! I’m like a box of Lego. I’m in BITS!»
«Late night?»
«Yes! You better give me a turnover for tomorrow too, I feel a 2 day hangover approaching!»
This is a real old Dublin bakery. The women that work here are real Dubs and I am sure if someone looked sideways at me they’d have my back! They say real Dublin Mammy things to ya. They’re deadly!
This place is tinchy tiny. The bread is top notch. As the lady who works here said to me before…
«None of that Cuisine De France shite in here luv»
A real proper crusty roll for your lunch. I used to live around the corner from here and every Saturday morning I would get my brekkie roll (pictured above). The deli counter is very small and the sausages and rashers are out of a vacuum pack. I’m here for the bread, not the rashers and sausages so it does the trick. The rest of the fillings are much better than that, nice and fresh and really good coleslaw.
The turnovers are my favourite (as well as the crusty rolls). I don’t have a sweet tooth so the only time I would have any cakes from here is if we got one in the office for someone’s birthday. Everyone in my office raves about the cakes however.
If you’re in town of a Saturday doing some shopping Northside then I would highly recommend you brave the nasty street that is Talbot Street and get some bread for your brekkie on Sunday morning. Totes amazeballs!

This is a great little bakery just outside the Irish Life Shopping Mall. They’ve got all your basic bakery fare. They’ve also got great toastie sandwiches and baguettes that are perfect for a cold Irish winter day!
The prices make the food even more delicious! You can get a jelly donut and a cup of tea for only € 2! That’s quite amazing when just a cup of tea would cost you more than that in Starbucks! The sandwiches are also amazingly cheap as well!
