Groundstate Coffee

Brilliant place for brunch/lunch or coffee and cake. The place is bright and airy with a relaxed atmosphere, with window seats great for people-watching. Food is delicious - there's a few vegan dishes which are really well considered, which makes a nice change from a lot of cafes with no 'proper' options. I recommend the miso sweet potato toastie or the tofu sambo, both are outstanding. Service is friendly and coffees are really good. It does get busy so either go early or later in the day to avoid a queue.

Hands down the best French toast I’ve ever had! Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, with just the right balance of sweetness. The brunch menu overall is fantastic, but the French toast alone is worth the visit. Great vibes, friendly staff—an easy favorite for a weekend treat.

Came Back and Still Impressed! I've been to Groundstate Coffee twice now, and both times were genuinely good. The mushy toasty and the pastrami sandwich are definitely worth trying - fresh, tasty, and filling without being heavy. Their flat white is smooth and well made, and the chai latte was also really nice. The atmosphere is relaxed but still has a bit of character, and both times the staff were friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. It's a great spot if you want a solid breakfast and a proper coffee without any fuss. Happy I found this place - I'll definitely keep coming back when I'm in the area.

I’ve been to Groundstate 2 or 3 times and I always had outstanding experiences !! 🍳 They have amazing brunch options, everything is very tasty! ☕️ Fantastic coffee!! 🏡👏 Super cosy atmosphere and great service! Staff is very nice. 🐶 And it’s pet friendly!! We always bring our pet and they even have treats for dogs!

Was recommended to visit by a friend and Groundstate did not disappoint! The food was exceptional and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was very relaxed with people of all ages enjoying what this fantastic coffee shop has to offer. We will be back when visit Dublin again!

What surprised me the most in minimum words? Great food, not a tasty coffee. Cutting long story short I’ve found Groundstate Coffee a very nice place with a casual decor, amazingly friendly staff and a menu matching tastes of majority of clients, almost everyone can find their flavour in there. My visit had a clear purpose as it was a morning hour and I was looking for a healthy and delicious breakfast accompanied by a good coffee. I have to say, Groundstate Coffee was a jackpot or at least it looked like it. Ordering a sandwich (Pastrami Sambo) and an americano coffee seemed to me an easy choice and not so complicated either. When my meal arrived (and in reasonable time) I happily noticed the sandwich was large and prepared with well composed ingredients creating nice layers, as expected from this impression it was delicious (note homemade fingers licking slaw)! Content with such a good beginning I turned to test out cup of coffee beside it. Short to say, disappointment it was, such a pity. Frankly speaking I’d never expect a sour- tasting cup of coffee in the establishment holding a company/brand website with advices how to brew a delicious coffee, would you? I hoped by displaying and sharing a knowledge of coffee making this will be an undoubtedly easy to serve well prepared hot beverage. Unfortunately it wasn’t a case, coffee was clearly under brewed and out of taste. I really like this cafe as it has everything in place to be one of the best and nice places to return to, however it looses the purpose when there is no good coffee to enjoy. My only hope is that the above failure was due to human error, bad day, staff in training still, etc, and can be easily resolved and make Groundstate Coffee most visited cafe in Dublin. This would be my sincere wish as the staff, vibe, space and the menu are all amazing!

I went back to this place this morning as the food and coffee yesterday was exceptionally good. I was 1st to order, 1st to get my food. Being alone, and the small table of 2, already taken with people with menus. I sat at the next smallest table of 4. I was asked to move, which was not a problem, but I didn't want to sit at the window benches with my knees up against the concrete block wall. Sitting away from it might have resulted in dropping food down the front of myself or sitting awkwardly at an angle, not good for a bad back. So I said I'd like to eat at a table, in the proper manner if possible. Lady, who was very pleasant and polite, said ok well can I move you to the end of the long table then. I moved without hesitation. This table was clearly reserved. My breakfast arrived and I was asked to move again to the window seats 'you can take your chair with you' I explain the knee thing and was left to eat. The next thing was the party of 9 turned up, were speaking in a different language to me. But surrounded the back of me at the table in a 90° angle. Waiting for the said table. One lady coughed over the front of the table and my food and continued to cough, sitting adjacent next to me. Made me feel very uncomfortable. I removed myself from this situation as soon as I had finished eating. Happy to drink my water on the window seats. The table of 4 where I'd originally sat remained empty, although they had put a reserved sign on it by now. Nobody's fault here as such but wanted to put how this situation made a single person feel... intimidated.

I found this place to be really cute and it was clearly popular. The ordering process is straightforward - find a seat, choose your food, and order at the till. I tried the saucy eggs for breakfast and appreciated the quality of the ingredients. However, the kale in the dish didn't quite align with my personal breakfast preferences, too rich, too sour.

Ridiculous how good this spot is. Absolutely delicious food and coffee. Busy spot, but they do take reservations and seem to accommodate the walk ins quite well.

So beyond happy our air bnb is about 30 seconds from this spot! This breakfast spot is exactly my style! I'm from California, so they have a ton of vegetarian options as well as meat options. Their coffee is great. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and I do love that you order up at the counter and then find a spot to sit. I got the spicy tofu scramble with kale and it was *chefs kiss*...filling, tasty and healthy! Couldn't have asked for more. Pricing is reasonable, and their food is freshly made. We will be back several times before we move to our next Airbnb.

Phenomenal! Love the overnight oats and the cheesy mushroom toastie. There such a great balance of flavors. The oats are the perfect texture and flavor, clearly made with love and attention. The pasti de nata are phenomenal I had about 4 in 2 days i couldn't get enough of them.

Such an amazing place! The food was phenomenal and quick. I got the cheesy mushroom toasty as well as a chai latte and it was ready extremely fast. The staff were all wonderful and so friendly. Great vibe inside. Could not recommend this place more!

Excellent coffee and service. Ordered a Cortado and the milk was nicely textured and the espresso was flavorful.

I love this little breakfast spot. It has a lot of healthy, vegan friendly options, but also offers some good and hearty meals. The food is really tasty and you can tell they use fresh local ingredients with their fare. I highly recommend giving this spot a try. The Toast and jam is great with some bacon. I also had the BKT and it was amazing! I will be returning!

Wonderful crafted short breakfast and coffee. Short walk from Guinness. I had the filter coffee. Staff could not make boiled or poached eggs but still worth it.
