Honey Truffle

You'll spot the queue before you see the sign – that's always a good indicator on Pearse Street. Inside, exposed brick meets carefully curated plants, and the kind of intentional messiness that feels genuinely welcoming rather than Instagram-contrived. The counter display of pastries and cakes will have you reconsidering your sensible breakfast plans before you've even ordered. The sourdough pancakes are the real draw here, fluffy and tangy in all the right ways, while their take on eggs Benedict uses proper Irish butter that makes everything taste like it should. Coffee comes from Cloud Picker, so you're sorted on that front. Weekend mornings can get mental busy, but weekday visits reveal a lovely spot for laptop warriors and lengthy catch-ups. Just don't expect to linger too long on Saturdays – the turnover is brisk but never rushed.
