Two Fifty Square — Restaurant in Dublin

Took the vegetarian version of the eggs benedict, as for the ingredients texture and flavour the English muffin actually tasted freshly baked for once when ordering this meal in a place unsure if it baked on the spot or preheat but they made it sure to feel taste and texture to taste equal to that level. As for the eggs deceiving too small made good but for the size of the order, it should've been as large size at least as the size of the muffin the portion looks big due to the overdose amount of sauce. Freshly reminder breakfast SHOULD be healthy never put too much sauce and the sauce should be a bit runnier than it is too thick felt like was staying in the pan for too long than needed, the sauce is for taste not as for the main course meal. The decorations of the plating is fantastic not too much and not too little, as for the service, as for wait to the seat was quite quick. But for order took way too long. Nobody came to take my order in a long while. Everyone assumed that my table was taken care of without checking with each other, no basic communication with the staff, and basic service skills. Once approached for the order they didn't even recommend the weekend special with the arrival of the menu or attach it had to ask and took another extra time to fetch the right person. To find out if ill go with my original decision or the weekend special. But once ordered didn't take long to get the food that was mentioned hove. Need to improve a lot within the service strategy and ingredients portions. For the price offered...

On the 15th of April 2023, we visited Two Fifty Square Rathmines. The café was relatively quiet with only a few customers present. We ordered two servings of Avocado & Poached Egg breakfast, but unfortunately, the avocado was brown, and the poached egg was overcooked, almost like a hard-boiled egg. Neither of us had any of our dish. We notified our server about the issue, and they offered to replace the dish, but we declined and decided to leave based on what we were served.

During checkout, the server offered to remove one breakfast from the bill and attributed the issue to their outsourced kitchen, Greenville Deli. However, we expressed that we would not pay for either breakfast since they were not up to the standard we expected. We were still charged for the coffee and water we ordered.

When we requested to speak with a manager, the server informed us that she was the manager. We advise the owners of Two Fifty Square Rathmines to send their staff for customer service training, as the service we received was below par. They should take responsibility for the quality of their food, rather than blaming their outsourced kitchen. Additionally, it is important for the staff to maintain a professional appearance at all times, as we witnessed two employees having a disagreement in a less-than-respectful manner.

I wont return nor would I recommend this...

This coffee shop is located in a secluded area and looks cozy on both the outside and the inside, with a modern look. I had a latte with honey on the side and a granola bowl, and my partner had an iced Vietnamese latte. The coffee was really good, and it’s obvious that it was prepared by a skilled barista (I am a trained barista myself). The granola bowl was also great, with berries, berry jam, nuts and honey as toppings. It was quite big in size, I even had to give some of it to my partner, as I was not able to finish it on my own. Everything was served really quickly. The prices in my opinion are very fair and even on the lower side considering the quality of service we were provided with.

Giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it was quite noisy while having 80% occupancy (I noticed that this kind of noise in places is normal in Dublin, but as a foreigner still find it frustrating). But overall 5 stars:) Definitely will come back! Had a great time at this place. Also love that all the staff seems to be more “modern” in a sense that I can’t really explain, and definitely make the coffee shop even more...
