If churros and chocolate (or dulce de leche, nutella, vanilla, white chocolate, maple...) is your idea of breakfast (and nobody's judging!), head for Sweet Churro on Dame Street. It's directly opposite City Hall, just around the corner from the apartment. As well as churros, there are crepes and pancakes. Good coffee, too.
3. CROGA COFFEE

Small, independent cafe that does a great breakfast (and lunch too) - and possibly the best coffee you'll find in the neighborhood. For breakfast, you can expect porridge, granola, pancakes, crepes, waffles, eggs on toast and so on.
4. THE BAKERY
WHERE: 8 Essex Street West, Temple Bar | 2 minute walk from the apartment
WHAT: Bakery + sandwich bar + coffee shop | €
TIMES: 7.30am-4pm, Monday to Friday; CLOSED on Saturdays and Sundays
RESERVATIONS: Just walk-ins
Great local bakery, coffee shop and sandwich bar that makes it own breads and pastries fresh every morning. It mostly supplies these to the cafes and restaurants around Temple Bar but also has its own outlet. There are a few tables inside and a few more outside. Breakfast will be a simple affair - coffee and a pastry or similar - but you can also get great sandwiches to take away if you're planning a short trip or picnic.
5. THE STAGE DOOR CAFE
WHERE: 11-12 East Essex Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2 | 2 minutes walk from the apartment
WHAT: Cafe | €€
TIMES: 6am-3pm, 7 days
RESERVATIONS: Just walk-ins
Neighborhood cafe with a lot of energy - and known too for serving a great breakfast. Sit outside for serious people watching. Aside from breakfast, it does good lunch too - and among the few places you'll find traditional dishes like Guinness Pie or Dublin Coddle.
