Husband and I had a delightful breakfast at Avoca cafe. The mango smoothie was delicious and I really enjoyed my pancakes with bacon and syrup. Husband didn't manage to finish his huge Irish cooked breakfast but he that he was very happy with his order. The coffee was good, not excellent, however we wouldn't hesitate to go back and sample...

The place is really good and the food choices are plentiful. The atmosphere is really there and the staff who are very busy always gives you a smile. It is a great choice for a break shopping in Grafton St. The food, desserts and the lemonade jugs are really fresh and good!!!. The only "no no" is that some of... More

Loved the food and it was great to be able to take it to go. We went to the one at Malahide - twice! Then we saw the one at Powercourt with the incredible terrace overlooking the gardens and fountain. We didn't have time to eat that day, but if I went back, I would make the time!

Had a few hours to fill while waiting to fly back to Bristol. Ended up finding this beautiful store which is topped off with a wonderful cafe on the top floor. The style in vintage, the home cooked food is great but the cakes are amazing. Spotted homemade pancakes with blueberries and bacon and made me wish i had ordered... More

The food was ok, but really pricey. The dinning area was small and cramped. There wasn't a large selection of dishes. The desserts were tasty, but again they were pricey. When we were getting our food, there was no clean forks available. We had to wait a bit for someone to get us some. The staff was nice and did... More

One of the loveliest restaurants/cafés I've ever been to. Situated in sufflok st near the famous Molly Malone statue it's easy to reach. Even though the prices are rather high, a visit at Avoca café is totally worth it.

We went here for a family visit. Very busy resturant, but a fast moving system. There are kids menus but these are quite big so a good option here for younger kids is a plain scone, I haven't met one kid yet here that doesn't devour them, served with jam and cream they are fab! We had soup and sandwich... More

Really tasty food, nice selection. Recommend the burger or the lamb tabouleh (pictured), which came with 4 dips. Crab salad was lovely but not a big portion for the price. Fresh scones are gorgeous, soup is very reasonably priced with lovely bread. Beautiful cafe upstairs, smaller cafe downstairs if you want something simple like coffee & cake.
