The Cake Cafe

4.5 ·

Slip into The Cake Cafe, a tucked-away spot with mismatched tablecloths and a sunny courtyard in Saint Kevin's. Order a slice of cake or a warm scone with tea or coffee, and linger over a relaxed afternoon break.

📖

Full description

The Cake Cafe sits below street level near St Stephen's Green in the Saint Kevin's area, and is known for its mismatched tablecloths, old-world kitsch and courtyard seating. Cakes, scones and other treats are baked on site, portions are described as generous, and reviewers praise the warm hospitality and peaceful atmosphere, with a chai and the chocolate cake singled out.

Service is less consistent, as one group reported a long wait to place an order. Rated 4.5 across 900 reviews, it suits a leisurely 45-minute break for couples or friends.

Came a few months ago, had a lovely chai! Staff were incredibly kind, gave me a free recipe book :)) I made the chocolate cake and ganache the other day and it was THE BEST!!! Thank you again ❤️
