Amazing breakfast!! I had the spicy chorizo eggs, which were 10/10! My friend had the breakfast bun, and the highlight was the revolutionary roast potatoes on the side!! Lovely coffee, and friendly staff and such fast service. Defo visit if you are in the area!

What a surprise this place was! Definitely one of the best meals of my trip. It was a truly unique flavor experience. I highly recommend coming for lunch and ordering the Pulled Pork Special and the Saucy Scrambled Eggs. Magnificent!!! What a surprise this place was!

I visited this spot in Dublin expecting a true specialty coffee experience, but I left feeling a bit conflicted. The Coffee: While it’s marketed as a specialty shop, the coffee felt a bit mediocre. It lacked the full body and distinct notes you expect from high-end beans. It wasn't bad, just indistinguishable—definitely not what I’d call "specialty" standard. The Food: I tried the brownie, and it was a letdown. Instead of a rich, chocolatey treat, it was mostly just sugar and seeds—very unexpected and not really a "brownie" in the traditional sense. The Kitchen: The breakfast and lunch plates coming out looked absolutely lovely, and I really wanted to try them. Unfortunately, the kitchen closes at 3:00 PM on Sundays, so I missed my chance. Verdict: Overall, it's an okay spot if you just want a fair cup of coffee and are there early enough for lunch. But if you are a serious coffee lover looking for a specific roast or body, this might not be the place for you.

The food is quite simple, and the customer service is just okay. To be honest, as a tall person, I didn’t find the seats comfortable at all — they’re very small and have a back support that feels awkward. If you’re tall like me, I’d suggest looking for another place where you can sit more comfortably. Also, the tables felt sticky, maybe because of some kind of polish they use on the wood — they should really check that. Overall, it seems more like a tourist spot for people visiting the Guinness Storehouse rather than a place for good, local food. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely loved Groundstate Coffee! The brioche sandwich was amazing, so delicious and perfectly made . The place is clean, well-organized, and very cozy — it truly feels welcoming. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back. Loved it so much!

Great food with two delicious vegan sandos and a yummy vegan blueberry croissant. The vegan lemon cake wasn’t my favorite but always appreciate diverse vegan options
