We stumbled upon the U Cafe by accident by arriving early to the Guinness tour. Although a rather simple menu, it hit the exact spot! The tuna melt and full breakfast were tasty and affordable. The waiter was extremely polite and one of the kindest souls I met in Dublin. His cafe was well lit and very clean. When you have time, I recommend coming to U Cafe.

We went there as we waited for the Guiness Storehouse to open. The service was amazing and so friendly. It was great to talk to the guy there. The food was tasty and he was prompt. I would highly recommend and definitely go back!
