Urbun

Liked the ambiance but the service was okay and there were many menu items that were unavailable which wasn’t a great start to our meal!

Got urbun club sambo today. Very nice, I honesty couldn’t fault it at all. They’ve a good selection on the menu. Just be mindful some are set for brunch and available at certain times only
Even tho they were ¾ full I only waited 5mins for it. In that time I go my coffee to enjoy and a glass of water. Very good service.
Location wise can be hassle getting car parking as the area is limited for on street and it’s pay parking too.
Inside it’s very simple, someone said hipster in a past review, I wouldn’t say that. It’s got the no frills look, bare concrete and long bench tables but it works great.
Easily can see a opportunity at the weekend to grab a coffee and sit down for a hour reading a book. Staff are very good

I just loved this place. It is spacious, clean, the food is good and the service is super fast. I went there last time for a late breakfast and I had the Urbun grill. It was really good, specially the bread, which was homemade. My friend had scrambled eggs and he said it was good too.
We ordered americanos and it was perfect — just as I was told! To finish we had carrot cake — the other cakes seemed amazing, but you know, carrot cake… O. O It was… OK. Plenty of icing and cream but too much raisins. It was more like a raisins cake than a carrot cake. Anyways, I’d definitively go back there but I’d try the lemon cake next time.
Ah they also sell tea, teapots and coffee mugs. Everything is super cute and the price is fine.

Vinny may have moved on but the legacy of his coffee making remains. still the best in South County Dublin

Bloody hell. 5/​5, ¹⁰⁄₁₀. I’ve had to stop myself from wolfing down this spectacular lunch in one go.
Almond milk flat white– rusty almond flavour is unreal.
Veggie sandwich with fresh roasted veg and goats cheese– unbelievable. The gluten free bread is best I’ve experienced in a redtaurant. So soooo good!!! Really lovely set up here and can accommodate for large numbers. They even have a sweet ice cream parlour where you can get a waffle-​ice cream sandwich. Healthy goodness, affordable staff and friendly staff. Great selection of culinary Nik-​naks too. Like the terminator said– I’ll be back.

Great place. Good coffee, nice lunches. Kid friendly, but also relaxing (I go there with and without my kids).

I absolutely love this place — Urbun serves great, fresh simple food in a good atmosphere.
Vini’s coffee is perfect — and a black board above the coffee station claims that he won competitions with his coffee! Great thing is that the board gets updated regularly, seems that he keeps winning, which I don’t doubt.
The food is well priced and fresh. The bread is delicious and the full breakfast my favourite in Dublin.
Décor definitely rustic /​hipster. Staff are lovely, even though it feels like the owners got friends and family to work here, many of whom I would guess had no experience… Which is not necessarily a bad thing!
Definitely a great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Parking can be difficult, especially on weekdays at lunch and Sunday mornings, when churchgoers block up all of Cabinteely.

Great food, lovely servers and fab coffee. Really nice place to come and have a relaxed lunch or coffee. Big hearty sandwiches fit for filling hungry, hungry hippos. and ladies.

When it comes to great coffee Vini’s your man. The master barista, very rare to get coffee this good. Foodwise I highly recommend the sausage sambo or the pulled pork sambo but its the coffee you’ll come back for.

I went to Urbun last Friday morning. I had a day off work and have been looking for a excuse to make the trip down as I had read many a rave review here on our very own Unilocal.But as it is quite out of the way of the city center area where I would frequent most, I had not had the chance to sample this «amazing» coffee everyone has been banging on about.
On entering there were really cool long bench style tables made of thick, chunky untreated wood, and what reminded me of old chairs from primary school. The tables had just salt, pepper and brown sugar on them (If a café has just brown sugar it a pretty safe bet your about to get a dam good cup of coffee). There were booths as well with burlap coffee sacks as pillow cover which I thought was clever. A lot of the walls and were covered a bright gray painted wood that had been sanded back to expose the woods patterns from beneath giving it a clean-​fresh but rustic feel which again i thought was clever. Ok so don’t judge me but anytime I go to somewhere that impresses me Urbun definitely did, I like to check out the toilets just to see if there a) clean and b) decorated. If someones gone to the detail and bother to decorate the toilets and they had, with again a bright gray side walls and a white washed exposed brick wall at the back and a cool industrial fixture for the lighting. Where as they could of just left it as the white tiled mess you find in most places. Its a good sign that there is a good level of detail held across all parts of the Café.
When I sat down I was given a menu, glass and chemistry-​set-​style jug of water. I got the breakfast bun and a latte (I later regretted getting the bun after seeing a couple on front of me get the french toast which looks fantastic). The coffee looks amazing! It was delicious as well but definitely one of the prettiest coffees I’ve ever gotten. The breakfast bun was a sausage, bacon and egg bun that came with a relish in a small glass jar at the side and a floury bun all of which was lovely, even though I did begrudging take bites out of it as I stared at and pine over the french toast across the table.
I will be going back and would recommend to friend. If you out of the city it would be a great spot to try but with other good spots like Cup, Brother Hubbered etcetera so close city it would be hard for me to find excuses to visit very often. Hopefully in the future the will open one closer to home.

Urbun immediately goes on my list of Dublin brunch finds. It would be great for groups — indeed a large party were tucking into a plethora of breakfast delights as we arrived at noon on a Sunday.
We opted to share the breakfast roll (€ 5.50) and the chilli scrambled eggs with chorizo (€ 9.50) — both proved as tasty as promised. I enjoyed the fact that the eggs weren’t overly buttery/​creamy. And you’ve got to love when the tart tomato relish comes in those tiny glasses on the side. It was all I could do not to lick them clean!
Urbun may be out of the way, but if you pair brunch with a stroll through the delightful Cabinteely Park next door, then your sojourn South will be well worthwhile.

If you can get yourself out to this place (as it is fairly far out of the city centre) then absolutely, positively do!
The setting is very chilled, spacious and modern with a few quirky, rustic touches.
The coffee is good, but the brunch is even better.
While all other places boast french toast on their menus, Urbun goes one step further and has «Pain Perdu» on offer!!!
«What exactly is this Pain Perdu you speak of?!»
Well my friends, it’s only french toast USING-​A-​CROISSANT-​INSTEAD-​OF-​TOAST!!! And sacre bleu, it is only fabulous.
The reason why I wouldn’t give this place the full 5star-​shebang, is that we finished off our brunch with a cheeky brownie to share (as we had spotted it immediately on arrival and couldn’t resist it’s seeminingly irressistably-​moist exterior) and it was just such a disappointment. How they managed to make something look so delicious and wonderful, but taste so bland is beyond me. That being said though, maybe my taste buds were wiped out after the excitement of the Pain Perdu and just couldn’t muster up the energy to appreciate the brownie after that.

Tucked away in Cabinteely this little gem offers serious coffee and amazing hearty food! I’ve only been for breakfast/​lunch and can say that these guys do it well! Thick cut batch toast with sausages, rashers (bacon for the American’s) pudding, beans and eggs your style! what more do you want? Coffee, yeah — these guys don’t mess about when it comes to coffee! seriously good beans and made the same each and every time!

Great great sandwiches, such fresh bread, delicious fillings and gorgeous coffees. No better place to grab a sambo and a coffee in South Dublin.

Tasty chicken salad with garlic and yoghurt dressing and followed by a coffee and gluten free cake.
Everything was very good quality but I was looking for more options for healthy foods like salads, think they only had two or three to choose from.
Good quality café and would be happy to go back to if I was passing by. Coffee is very good! 3.5 stars!

Great food and smooth delicious coffee… Always happy to stop by for a coffee though at the weekend, easily persuaded to have a bite from the brunch menu

Excellent for breakfast or lunch. As I’ve mentioned in tips, the lemon drizzle cake and a pot of tea are a most excellent way to start the day. The staff are exceptionally personable and attentive. One of the best parts of coming to Dublin for me!

It’s the soft egg in their club sandwich that clinches the deal. I’m a sucker for that. The «spesh» is always worth a look. Their scones are giant and misshapen vehicles for plenty of butter, cream and jam (not so short as Avoca’s). The setting is a little hipster, polished concrete, sackcloth cushioning and incandescent large bulbed lamps. The artisan bits and pieces for sale are a little pricey, but the food counts as good value; just because it’s plenty tasty.

very very delicious food.
staff are not so great.
chefs are wonderful, baristas are wonderful but the table staff are not very good.
ive been here a few times and i would deffo return, its sandwhiches are brilliant and if your looking to satisfy a sandwhich craving, this is the place to visit

I’m coming back to give my 2^nd review of this place almost 2 years since my last review.
I’ve firmly made this place a regular stop for lunch or a sweet snack ;)
Things to try include:
The steak sambo– to die for!
Chicken basil sandwich,
Lemon harrisa chicken couscous salad.
Coffee is delicious and they have a fantastic barista Vini!
I’m partial to the chai lattes and choosing a variety of cakes which differ from day to day!
If you’re in the area, check out Urbun. It has great atmosphere, fresh food from local suppliers and they even sell handmade goodies from soaps to jams!
