The Stage Door Café

Great food. Great coffee. Right in the heart of Dublin.

Our Story

A relaxed neighbourhood café beside the Gaiety, serving proper breakfasts, speciality coffee and homemade treats from early until late afternoon. Everything is cooked to order, the bread comes from two streets away, and nobody will rush you out of your seat.

What Our Customers Say

  • Great food and a fantastic atmosphere. The full Irish is the best I've had in town and the coffee is genuinely excellent.

  • We call in before every show at the Gaiety. Always friendly, always quick, never rushed.

  • Lovely spot for brunch. Can get busy at the weekend so worth booking a table.

  • Staff went out of their way to sort a gluten-free option for my daughter. Small thing, made our day.
