Coffee! Yes please

Always make a stop at Il Panorama when I come to Howth. It’s tiny and cozy. Service is friendly. Coffee is tasty. I’ve never eaten here but the paninis and the pizza looked amazing! Made my mouth water. Will have to come back for food!

A little gem in the heart of Howth!

I can’t recommend Il Panorama Café highly enough. Overlooking the harbour in picturesque Howth it’s a truly special place. Cosy & full of character they serve delicious treats not to mention the best pizza I’ve had in quite some time made by the charming Rafael....Jack, Davide, Luke & all the staff couldn’t be more friendly & welcoming. As a Dubliner it’s fast becoming a favourite spot of mine. Go, settle in for a pizza, glass of wine & lovely views. You won’t be disappointed!More

Time for breakfast

In our visit to Ireland, we had to stop in Howth. A nice small city near Dublin. The place came up on TripAdvisor which was a great recommendation. Our first impression of the place was mixed but we trusted TripAdvisor and it was a good...choice. We have had some great breakfast and hit drinks which gacmve us a good start into the day. The place started to fill up throughout our meal and most people where locals which is always a good sign. Would definitely come againMore

Don‘t go there!

We went for paninis. After waiting about 30 minutes (even though it was quite empty), all we got were sandwiches instead of a typical panini. When asking about why that was the case, the waiter simply said „Yeah, but that’s how we make paninis here“....The sandwiches weren’t good at all, some were burned and some seemed not to be toasted at all. Really bad food, wouldn’t recommend going there!More

60c for an extra squirt of balsamic vinegar!

A regular visitor to this little coffee shop usually filled with friendliness and good service. Shocked to be asked for an extra 60c for an extra squirt of balsamic vinegar on my breakfast... a step too far!! Will not be visiting again any time soon....Such a shame -More

Great coffee stop

After a two hour Cliff Walk hike, I couldn’t wait for a nice, hot latte. Best latte I’ve had in Dublin in four days. Very small store with seating outside with water views. Highly recommend over Insomnia and Starbucks!

Excellent for Coffee

Last week my wife and I dropped in here for morning coffee. It is a very friendly place with friendly staff and lots of locals using it. It is excellent for coffee and I would highly recommend it. We were made very welcome and hope...to call again when next in Howth.More

Yummy breakfast and very friendly servers

Fresh hot omelets served with nice coffees and with a friendly attitude. They have an Italian name and menu but the vibe is Australian with names of omelets such as the Great Ocean Road or Melbourne. The service was top. Super casual and a drop...in kind of place. No blood sausage patties here. (thank God) Only fresh ingredients that are skillfully prepared and flavorful.More
