Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Worked on a TV production a few months back and we were doing a very early morning shoot in Dublin. Keogh's Cafe was one of the only places that provided us with a good deal for a take-away breakfast for crew of 30-40 people that morning and it went down a treat, particularly the mini breakfast sliders, sausage rolls and this vanilla & hazelnut croissant (it was a pastry of some sort) they were literally all gone before I had a chance to get one myself.
James the manager was very accommodating at a time in need and a big thank you to all the staff that had to come in early that morning! Coffee there was also really good!

Called here as the first stop on a day trip to Dublin from Leeds, great location right in the centre and opens early so was ideal for our early 7am flight arriving in to the city.
Very busy at 7.30 on a Saturday morning, seems a few people had the same idea as us.
Full Irish breakfast, veggie breakfast and mini breakfast plus croissant with tea coffee and fresh orange between 4 of us cost €39 which was to be expected.
Cooked breakfast was very substantial, cooked fresh with quality ingredients, the order took about 30mins for the order to arrive.
The display cabinet of pastries looked really tempting but we were bursting, a very nice cafe and very likely we will call again on our next visit to Dublin.

Keogh’s Cafe was very close to our hotel so a convenient and excellent choice for us for breakfast. It is cafeteria style for ordering, but the hot food is prepared after you order it. We got into the habit of sharing one hot fish and one scone each day and it was a good habit as you would not want to miss either the scones or the hot food. We had scrambled with sun dried tomatoes and avocado one day, and a “superfood omelet” with feta spinach and salmon, Both wonderful as were the multi-berry and the raspberry scones. Nice to have it nearby but worth a trip if it isn’t near

joke of a place. Took order for breakfast before we even had a seat. Breakfast took ages to serve. Arrived cold. Served tea when ordering breakfast. Tea was cold when cold breakfast arrived didn’t offer a refill. Avoid this place. Too costly for what you get.

The place looks quite cozy and welcoming in the first room and then the second room seems just “there”. The scones and coffee were good but it was hard to enjoy with strange and annoying music. Only one other table was occupied and I almost asked them to change it. Instead we did not linger. Also the server said she had raspberry scones so I ordered one. Then when I bit into it, I realized it was cherry- not my favorite.

Served today by a member of staff could not speak English I spent 10 minutes ordering 2 coffee's &2 scones. She said is that 4 drinks? I said no 2.. 1 latte 1 espresso She said 3 drinks ? I repeated 2 drinks again explained my order I got frustrated & told her that staff should be able to at the very least take orders from customers without confusion & time wasting.
I waited outside for 25 mins my wife went in with the number we were given they said it's coming After 25 mins we got 2 drinks that tasted like hot milk. I took them back explained we waited so long to be given drinks that had little or no coffee in them. She rudely replied if your not happy you can have a refund!! No apology No offer to make a proper latte Absolouty disgusted with the attitude of staff member. I said I'll complain to manager she replied rudely we dont have a manager !
I've been going to this cafe for years and never ever had a problem like this. These staff need to know that the customer comes first no matter how stressed you are. Our day was ruined as a result of this incident.

In the strength of the reviews thought we'd give this a go.
It's a counter order, then grab a seat. The menu is on a board behind the counter.
I'd have quite liked a bacon sandwich, but sadly not available. I decided on poached eggs on toast.
My wife decided on an omelette with two fillings. The list of fillings was rattled off by the guy serving us, which was as long as your arm. Feeling somewhat pressured my wife made a selection and orders were placed.
It wasn't overly busy, but it took about twenty minutes for our food to arrive.
My poached eggs were both undercooked, "snotty" is how I'd describe them, and cold at the same time. Three poorly cooked poached eggs and two slices of toast.
My wife's omelette looked like it had eggs aplenty in it and was massive, but this is quantity over quality.
This was a really disappointing visit to a place I had high hopes for.
€30+ for the breakfast made it quite expensive too.

Tepid cappuccino. The scones were cold and dry. My wife ordered a raisin scone, and they gave her something apparently made for constipation sufferers. Coarse whole grain. No raisins. She sent it back, and they brought it to her again and claimed it was a raisin scone. Raisin scones contain raisins.

During most of our trip to the UK, particularly Dublin, we had only one thing on our minds after waking… gotta have the traditional, belly-filling, delicious Full Irish Breakfast! Once having this meal, it is almost certain you will go until dinner without a meal – well, maybe some beers and fish and chips along the way. I can without reservation recommend you trust local Cabbies on at least two areas – where the best pubs are, and where the best food is, in our case they were spot at every turn (pardon the pun), especially when one recommended Keogh’s Café for such a breakfast. Wow! I had the full breakfast which consisted of real and beautiful free-range eggs, bacon (be advised, their bacon (though similar to Canadian bacon, comes from the pig’s back, somewhat thicker and cut round), a huge portobello mushroom, West Cork black & white pudding (similar to our blood sausage but herbs and spices are different), yummy and aromatic Galway sausage served with delightfully ripened and plump plum tomatoes, and with great chunk of sourdough toast. Fantastic! One can tell Keogh’s family run experience and passion for serving these meals and terrific baked goods for almost 30 years shows in their care and offering of quality products, and the fabulous presentation. When in Dublin, this the place for breakfast. Bon appétit.

Despite the fact that the food here looked delicious, I didn't get to try it! 😄 After waiting for over an hour for a Tuna Sandwich, a full Irish Breakfast (wrong order) arrived at my table! As it was a busy lunchtime I then had to leave and skip lunch 🙄 a lot of inexperienced staff "employed" at this Cafe....not even one of them seemed to have good English...and while I was sitting there for over an hour waiting, I overheard numerous guests complaining about the service and how slow 🐌 it was! The only reply from the "staff" being " we are very busy today" 🙄

Eventually found a spot in this lovely cafe, ordered scrumbled eggs and was served a gigantic portion of eggs, avocado, bread and dried tomatos. I just could not finshed this, when asked how many eggs the chef put they said 6/8, so a 2 week period eggs intake! That is ridiculous! Such a waste in these difficult times, Irish hens must be really exploited! I checked other tables and most people left at least 40% in their dishes. To the owners: please consider food waste, because it is a waste, plus nobody wants to get fat, thank you.
I post a picture of what I could not finish eating.

The ordering at the counter and subsequent service at the table was very poorly organized. No one who worked there seemed to know what was going on! I asked for clotted cream with my scone and after insisting was brought whipped cream. The scone was good but to have the full experience one must have preserves and clotted cream!

The staff (Agustin) at the place called me a racist for no reason while I was waiting in my table and ruined my breakfast and the rest of the day. On the other hand, they take a long time to deliver breakfast so it arrived cold and some ingredients were missing. Tables outside are dirty. It looks nice but the experience is very bad. Does not represent Dublin.

We arrived at the café first thing in the morning to be greeted by friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. As a party of 14, I had previously asked about booking tables but this wasn't possible but it also wasn't a problem for them and was able to accommodate us all, recognised who we were straight away when I said there was 14 of us. No one could fault the food as it was all lovely. Arrived fresh, hot and all together as promised. Kids loved the frappes. As we left there was a que down the street of people waiting to get in so to me that says it all. Would definitely go back if ever we are in Dublin again. Thank you.
