🐶✨ Five-Star Dog Service in Dublin! 🍗🥂 Since landing in Ireland, we’ve been on a mission to explore the best dog-friendly spots! 🏡🐕 We tried visiting The Orange Goat in Sandymount/Ballsbridge over Christmas, but it was closed—so today was the day!

Reviews Summary

The Orange Goat is celebrated for its exceptional coffee and delicious food, particularly its breakfast buns and the welcoming atmosphere for dogs. While many praise the friendly staff and tasty meals, some reviews mention issues with communication and service speed during busy periods.

"Had breakfast with my family for the first time and we have had a lovely experience. Staff is super friendly, food was amazing. Complements to the chef Junior (I’m very pick, chef cooked my a scrambled eggs the way I love it) The bacon was crispy and fresh, we shared a delicious granola with fresh fruits super delicious.
Definitely coming back again."

Nadia Rodrigues

"I enjoy visiting this place because it is well-organised and has friendly staff. The coffee has a great flavour, and I always order a cappuccino. There's an option to sit outside, but I prefer sitting indoors. Whenever I have time, I never miss the chance to have the Full Irish Breakfast."

SAUL MUJICA ASCENCIO

"Best coffee in Dublin HANDS DOWN. It's no wonder it's so popular! The food is so delicious too, my partner says that the sausage roll is the best he's ever had (and he's a bit of an aficionado if that can be a thing for sausage rolls...) wonderful, friendly staff too. 10/10"

There’s good reason why The Orange Goat clocks in as a firm favourite, with or without your furry pal. Apart from its Cloud Picker coffee and famous breakfast buns it caters well for your canine who will be greeted with fresh chicken and treats, and even some breakfast eggs should they fancy it. Go regularly enough and they might even throw your pooch a birthday party complete with presents.
