Busyfeet & Coco Cafe — Restaurant in Dublin

Lovely find right off Grafton street. Plenty of seating for a smaller cafe/restaurant. The playlist was great, the server was very attentive and it was perfect for a nice early dinner.

They have a kinda chill bar/retro 60s vibe, very causal. The bathrooms were clean and not divided by gender.

We started with drinks, house white was nice and a decent portion of tea. We got the Coco burger, Asian chicken salad and the quesadillas/wraps with a side of fries. All absolutely amazing, super quick service and big portions. The salad wasn't too meat heavy with only a few strips of chicken but the dressing was amazing.

We then got apple crumble, gluten free brownies and carrot cake. All were lovely and came with a portion of whipped cream to the side. Portions were a touch small but still really well made desserts!

Paid around 60 for a table of 3 which is good for a Grafton street, definitely will be...

Nice place, lovely location, and good staff.

Ordered a deep fried buttermilk chicken burger. Sounds good. But the reality is, it's a 3 spicy chicken goujons with shredded iceberg lettuce meaning it's just going to fall apart really easily. I was expecting a single piece of chicken, Asian style but it's not really how you imagine Asian style chicken burger. Felt a bit cheated on that front. It's a chicken goujon sandwich essentially.

The skinny fries are nice.

The prices were reasonable so I didn't expect too much. I think they could charge a bit more for the burger but make it Korean style deep fried chicken with a single piece, rather than goujons because it just makes the "burger" fall apart quite easily. They did supply a knife and fork but I prefer to eat burgers with hands.

Music was good; MF Doom and assorted playlist of Hip Hop abd soulful D&B when...

I was a regular customer here, until one day I was met with very rude staff. The waitress asked me to leave in 30ish minutes, soon after I was done with my food and drink, whereas the people who were sitting around for much longer than me were treated with a lot more politeness and respect and faced no pressure to leave even when they weren't necessarily ordering.

I was alone at my table and the only person of colour at the cafe at that time, and I can't believe people even these days have such biases and differential treatment. I had literally just finished, also considering I was only there for a very short period of time makes it all the more evident that the waitress had her biases towards other races.

Even worse, the manager also didn't own up to the bad experience. Really awful and I never wish to go...
