Centra

Varied selection for when you want a quick bite or need to do a small shop.
Deli counter makes good wraps and the lunchtime queues stand as proof.
Bright, well-​planned layout and friendly staff score the bonus points.

I like this Centra. It’s bright, airy, has lots of space & always smells like bread/​pastries.
Also, I’m almost sure it’s the one they use on their ads because it’s such a nice building.

New to the neighbourhood and very welcome, one of those shops with a bit of everything and fresh pastries on a Sunday morning!

This a nice shop with a spacious, clean and bright interior.
I was in Ballsbridge the day of the Dublin Marathon and with the spectating really taking its tole I wandered in here. Avoiding the salads, I made my way to the hot deli counter and paused for thought. A very pleasant lady asked me what I would like and, in accordance with my wishes, made me a terrifically unhealthy sandwich.
I picked up a cup of coffee and took perch on the complementary seats outside where I could still see the marathon progressing. Enjoying my juicy lunch I eased my conscience saying «Sure maybe I’ll run it next year.»
Good shop though, and a welcome addition to The Oval building.
