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 came here with a few friends not really knowing what to expect but it was really good. The coffee was really good, I ordered an iced coffee macchiato and service was great and the staff were friendly and accommodating and a lot of healthy food selections. The halloumi wrap I had was just incredible. Absolutely no complaints.

Interesting organic blend in Select Stores on the Main Street in Dalkey. Fruit and veg plus a variety of products inside. They also have a small area for consumption inside. Pricy.

Another lovely take away lunch, plenty of tasty vegetarian options. Great coffee too and a nice shop with plenty of wholefood goodies.

i visited with my partner on a Saturday morning, to have a coffee and snack. Before we could even look at the desserts on offer we had the owner, in a raised voice, demand to know our offer. I say demand because he repeated his question with only a split-second between them. We observed other customers be treated this way. The coffee at 3.50 euro was over-priced, as was the small piece of Rocky Road at 3.50 euro. There was a palpable feeling of stress and unwelcomeness in the air. The large selection of foods on offer meant nothing to use given the terrible service. though we've just moved to Dalkey, we won't be returning to this establishment. Unless the owner begins to understand how to offer a good service along with a product, then this business will eventually peter out.

This morning (August 19th friday) Myself & mother decided to go for breakfast in dalkey. I had seen advertised and through word of mouth that select stores dalkey offered organic & vegan options which appealed to me straight away & i just knew i had to visit. Upon arrival in this dainty & charming establishment i noticed how inviting & warm this cafe was. I have a huge passion for eco friendly , vegan & organic ways in life, i especially love when i can find elements of this within stores & food establishments which was the case with select stores. When we entered i browsed the menu and set my eyes on a vegan organic falafel, hummus & onion dish (this was available to put onto a wrap or sandwich) being vegan & Gluten free i wanted to see if there was a gluten free option for bread & when i asked i was told "yes, although as the gluten free bread is small..you wouldn't really be getting your money's worth, so i could put it all on a plate & add two salads to it so you're getting you're money's worth?" In which i responded "oh lovely, yes please, which of these salads are vegan & Gluten free as I'm both?" The waitress pointed to the three salads that were suitable for my dietry requirements in which i picked two of those & ordered a ginger tea. I went to pay & was suprised to hear "that's €14.50 all together please " i had to relook at the menu as the dish i ordered was €8.50 on the board & i knew a ginger tea couldn't possibly cost almost €6. The waitress saw my confusion and began to explain " oh it's a few euro more because you got it on a plate with two salads " both myself and mother looked at each other confused as we had been under the impression that the waitress was offering two salads free of charge due to her mentioning & suggesting the GF bread being smaller in size & that "since it's smaller we can offer two salads in order to give you value for you're money" this wasn't really the case as i ended up paying an extra €6 due to dietry requirements essentially which in itself doesn't feel good,this isn't a huge problem but i just felt she was extremely misleading. I would just like to note that Gluten free wraps weren't available on this day which is unfortunate as there are so many lovely gluten free/ vegan wraps & breads widely Available now a days so if this could be looked into down the line ,I'm sure people like myself with similar dietry requirements could then also avail of the sandwich/wrap options on the menu without having to a substantial amount more. I did choose to go ahead & pay as my mother & i just wanted to sit down and enjoy breakfast together. Shortly after our food came out. My vegan falafel dish came out with dairy butter on the side which wasn't a huge problem as i just handed them back to her but i do feel if the waiters & employees we're a little more mindful with the orders being made that these small things could be easily avoided. Apart from the dairy butter on my dish the meal looked lovely so i tucked in starting with my GF toast ,hummas & falafel & it wasn't until a few bites in something just didn't feel right, i went to the counter & asked if she could double check if the gluten free bread was vegan. She went to check & within a few minutes she was able to tell no it wasn't as it had egg in it. I instantly lost my appetite. I sat back down and tried to eat it but as a vegan and just after consuming an Animal product now i felt really upset & tearful ,my appetite had completely vanished so i asked if she could box up the remains of my dish. She did apologise but i just feel that these issues can be avoided so easily with a little more attention to detail. I looked on the allergen sheet on the wall that's displayed but it didn't have the the gluten free bread displayed on it so it wasn't possible for me to check it. As i mentioned above there are so many vegan & Gluten free bread & wrap options Available that i feel it would be rather easy to provide such an option within the establishment. I also feel that the waiters,servers & employees of select stores dalkey could benifit from taking the time to look a little more, take notice & glance over the ingredients of the food being offered to customers especially to those who have dietry requirements. The waitress did offer me a vegan baked good but i declined due to loosing my appetite after unfortunately digesting an Animal product. She offered my mum a baked good then which confused me as my mums order was perfectly fine and it was myself who experienced the Issues.After have an off putting, emotional experience i feel the least they could of done was offer a refund which was not the case. Select stores really has potential to florish as it already offers such wonderful character & charm between it's little store full of eco conscious proudcts to cosey little nucky corners to sit in & soak up the energy of this sweet town that is dalkey, it just starts to loose that when experiences like mine today occur more regularly. If it could just ask that this is looked into further down the line to try make sure these issues don't arise in the future as it can be extremely distressing, disappointing & heartbreaking for alot of similar souls to myself.

Tasted like cardboard with a rubber texture. Poor quality service wouldn’t recommend surprised they’ve managed to stay open so long.

This is a mixture of a shop and a restaurant. It’s cramped inside with limited seating. Mostly healthy food in offer.

Found this at the junction of Railway Rd/Tubbermore Rd and St Patricks Rd. It looks to all intense and purpose as a shop but it is so much more. They do a good range of snack foods/sandwiches/soup/salads, hot and cold drinks. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is seating across the road in good weather with limited inside which also has toilet facilities. Access might be limited for wheelchairs. Will definitely be sampling the healthy and wholesome food again.

We popped in for brunch this morning and were not disappointed! While seating is limited, additional seating is available outside when the sun shines! We had the most delicious whole meal pitta, packed with yummy fresh ingrds including gubeen, avacado, red onion relish etc etc! What sets SS apart is the freshness of the ingredients and the imaginative way they are used to present a vast array of beautiful salads, soups, stews and omelettes to name but a few! Try the beautiful coffee made to order and to perfection. The ambiance is low key, relaxed and is enhanced by the attention to detail of the staff who are professional and courteous. Can’t wait to go back!
