“ The charm of a family owned and operated cafe cannot be substituted. The food was freshly prepared and served with a smile. The coffee was as good as any major chain if not better and the ambiance of the cafe is fantastic. ”
“ Quaint with indoor and outdoor seating. Coffees are tasty and a good selection of sandwiches and sweets. Staff is always super friendly. Convenient minute walk to busses and train in Malahide if you've got a wait. ”
“ Mondays. We all hate them. The sort of day where the road feels longer, the sky looks greyer, and you wonder if civilisation would collapse if you just went back to bed. I was out doing deliveries, running on fumes and bad temper, when I stumbled into Seomra Tae in Malahide. And thank heavens I did. Inside were three women – absolute angels disguised as café staff – who took one look at me, clearly falling apart at the seams, and decided I needed saving. They handed me a cappuccino. Not just any cappuccino, mind you. This was molten joy in a cup. The first sip was like the clouds parting, a choir singing, and my entire Monday being reset. By the second sip, I was convinced I could drive a thousand miles. By the third, I was fairly certain I was in love. It was smooth, rich, perfectly balanced – the kind of coffee you don’t just drink, you have a relationship with. So here’s the thing: Seomra Tae isn’t just a café. It’s a sanctuary. A place run by saints, disguised as baristas, who have the power to turn the worst day into something bearable with one cup of coffee. If you’re in Malahide and you don’t stop in, you’re making a catastrophic error in judgement. ”
“ I had the caesar wrap and a hot chocolate for lunch. Very tasty, it comes with home made crisps which I enjoyed. Looks like a family run restaurant. One recommendation I have is to make the table service more efficient. The waiters weren't serving me at all and I had to go to the counter directly(2 times) to order after waiting for more than 10 minutes. Bear in mind, they were serving other people that arrived after me. ”
“ We enjoyed a light breakfast and coffee on the front patio this morning. The avacodo toast and Americano were both great. The service was very friendly and fast! ”
“ My favorite breakfast cafe in Malahide village. Food, people, cozyness - love everything about this place. Full Irish, pancakes, Mexican eggs are my favorites ”
