The Cake Cafe 5.0 star review: The cake cafe is hidden down an alley off camden street. It's entrance is into a small courtyard and it's like your going into to someones back yard of their home. This is a perfect spot to chill out and enjoy a coffee. The cakes and deserts are just perfect and so so fresh.

The Cake Cafe 5.0 star review: I love this place, On a sunny afternoon the little courtyard that holds the Cake Café offers a realxing retreat from the bustle of Camden Street which is a mere 500 feet away. Everytime we visit we seems to be drawn to the Gratin and the Butternut Squash hot pot with Chorizo, words cannot describe how yummy these two dishes are. The tea that they stock is from Kingfisher teas, which I am a huge fan of!!!!

If every in the Camden Street area, do stop by. You can enter through Daintree Paper or there is a back entrance through the alley way at the back of the Daintree Building

The Cake Cafe 5.0 star review: Ive been to the Cake Cafe on a number of occasions and it never fails to disappoint. It seems like a secret cafe the fact you need to walk through the shop. I came alone first but have brought a number of people since, it's out of the way from my side of town but always worth it. I have gone for breakfast - pancakes and for afternoon tea. I have not yet had lunch there. The service is really friendly and the food is top notch, a must experience

The Cake Cafe 4.5 star review: Love visiting this cafe everytime I am in Dublin. Seems like it is a little secret place to eat the loveliest cakes. The homemade lemonade and chocolate brownie are my favorites.

The Cake Cafe 5.0 star review: Went here today with a friend for lunch. Have been several times before and it's always great. I ordered the smoked chicken sandwich - delicious. The bread is cooked in the cafe and is amazing. Would definitely recommend going here, very hard to resist getting a slice of cake too.

The Cake Cafe 4.5 star review: I went here yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. It's only 10 minutes from the city center (keep walking past Whitefriar church) and you have to walk through a stationary shop. But in the back there's this kind of little garden atmosphere with cute little china dishes and a wall with crazy mosaics (think books, silverware, etc. glued to it). The menu was a selection of all kinds of goodies - cakes, cupcakes, cookies, teas, hot drinks, and wines. The desserts we had were great. Definitely worth the little walk over.

The Cake Cafe 3.0 star review: Visited the Cake Cafe on Saturday for first time having heard loads about it. First impressions were good: small, buzzy room with plenty of staff working. We ordered the porridge with fruit, which was delicious and very good value at €4, and the baked beans on toast, which were homemade and tasty. There is a slightly manic element to the place, probably owing to the squished room and the many staff and customers. It would be churlish to criticise them for this though.
What is not churlish is to criticise the cakes. We got a selection to bring to a friend's house and all were disappointing.
For somewhere called the Cake Cafe to sell cakes that are neither light nor moist is beyond disappointing. We tried four different varieties and all were dry and uninspiring. One would almost think they had been baked the day before, which I hope is not the case. The tasty and well-priced cooked food almost makes up for the lack of comfort and space but the uninspiring cakes are a step too far.

The Cake Cafe 5.0 star review: Finally, finally made it to the Cake Cafe and it certainly lived up to its reputation. We were lucky to get a seat outside cause inside was packed and it was a little chilly, but two quick bowls of soup sorted us out. My friend had the Goat's Cheese sandwich on their home made bread that was exquisite and I went for the famous Beans and Toast. Neither disappointed. The only complaint was that having eaten all this we were too stuffed to really enjoy any of the great cakes and deserts on display, but we did split a brownie. Just means we'll be back for more.
