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.

I had lovely poached eggs on tasty avocado mash followed by delicious bakewell tart with decaf cappuccino in Harrys yesterday. My request for no chilli in the avocado was readily heard by helpful staff. Very central relaxed setting in lovely Dun Laoghaire well decorated with interesting plants.

We have been staying in a local hotel -room only and have come to here for breakfast. This is a super place with a very good breakfast menu and friendly staff. Reading the newspapers provided also allows a catch up whilst waiting for the food. Excellent coffees, food and pastries all freshly prepared. Lunches are also very good.

During our three day stay in Dun Laoghaire we had breakfast each morning and also lunch on the final day of our stay. The food was excellent and cooked using local produce. The service was first class and the atmosphere is convivial. We will be back!!😀😀

Brought my elderly mother here for breakfast today. The food was lovely and compliments to the chef but the who i assume was the owner was passing my table and i asked for salt. Now 2 adults eating breakfast and he returns with one sachet of salt. I couldn't believe it. Had to ask again ... And the bill was bloody expensive for what we had. Would i go back. Not a hope. Reckon i was billed for the salt 🤣.. To the owner.... If you want custom put the appropriate condiments on each table and don't be so bloody miserable

Service took a very long time and food was served cold. No condiments on the table either. Most of the staff were lovely, but the manager was incredibly rude and condescending and invaded our personal space, reaching across us on the table to passive-aggressively replace a takeaway cup we had brought and to add “finishing touches” to food we had already started eating … terrible. He wouldn’t let me order a coffee from the barista myself and even questioned why I was asking for salt for my food! So unpleasant.

WOW, just absolutely amazing.
We stumbled across Harry’s cafe on our visit to the town. So glad we did.
The breakfast was perfection a solid 10/10.
My wife had the Eggs Benedict which looked awesome and tasted even better she said 🙏
I went for the Norwegian Eggs, the food not only cooked perfectly, tasted like heaven.
The sourdough for both breakfasts were lovely and fresh.
Their coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had.
Compliments to the chef for sure ✔️
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Keep up the hard work it’s truly paying off

I can never remember the name of the spicy chicken soup here but it is comfort in a bowl. In all the years I've been served this dish it has never failed to comfort and soothe. It is full of meat, vegetables and noodles. The bouquet of coriander hits you as soon as it is placed in front of you. Go on, treat yourself to some real comfort food.

This unpretentious cafe serves really lovely food. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent. Harry (I presume) makes sure that everyone is taken care of and it’s always great to find a place that is not only dog friendly but takes such good care of them as well. A great experience.

Have had lunch here twice. First time was sit-in last year and, more recently, a takeaway sandwich. After the first visit, I thought it was one of the best lunches I’ve had anywhere in Dun Laoghaire. The sandwiches were so delicious and fresh - the bread was perfect. Second lunch here proved it wasn’t a once off. I took a friend and she was also a big fan. If you’re looking for a great lunch and good coffee, I’d highly recommend here.

Visited with my son for lunch and both chose the club sambo at €10.50 each which seems expensive for a sandwich. However the club sambo was substantial and absolutely bursting with incredible flavour. Really enjoyed it and left feeling full after entering hungry. Both agreed to come back again next time !

I live locally. The electricity has gone in my flat so I went down the road to wait for the electrician and do some work. Was there 2 hours or so, and was asked to move twice by the owner. It's not a busy place and I had moved to a corner table out of the way. Eventually told if I didn't have lunch then I would have to leave. I had bought breakfast just out of politeness already. It's not a cheap place. €16 to sit in a cafe for 2 hours before being hounded out by the owner. Shame because the staff seemed nice.

Used to come here when I was a kid and it was called Johnson’s.. talking early 90s.
Was in the area and decided to take a chance.
Immediately felt very comfortable and the relaxed atmosphere puts you into a chill mood.
Lovely old stone wall has been restored and a really warm place with old fashioned decor.
I ordered the eggs and Avo n sourdough and it didn’t disappoint.
They do a lovely coffee here as well- I had a coconut latte and the bill was €18 which was good value.
I will be back to try the pancakes again soon.

The manager is rude and condescending. Shouldn’t be running any customer facing establishment. I feel sorry for the staff there. (They don’t deserve treatment like that). We live in the area and will never visit this cafe again.
