Stuff I've eaten in the last week

First mention is Beeftro on Balfe Street. Came here for lunch last Friday. I had the BBQ pulled chicken sandwich which is served with sweet potato fries. Had some white wine to kick off happy Friday! The staff are lovely and the food is fab. Will definitely be back to try beef :)

I stopped at The Cupcake Bloke on my way to Beeftro and picked up some of their Halloween cupcakes. Inchose spiced pumpkin, tombstone and ghostly chocolate - which clearly disappeared and a brack. The brack is delicious and made even nicer with just a little bit of butter. 

On Sunday we were in town for some Christmas presents shopping (I know!) and stopped at Coffee Angel on South Anne Street. I thought the coffee was only ok and to be honest we were kind of made to feel like we were disturbing the staff's Sunday. The macaroon was dry and far too flaky but the chocolate brownie was fab!!

This week I've been on jury duty. Thankfully I wasn't picked but I realised something. I'm very glad I don't work too close to the city centre - there's far too much temptation around! I don't think my waist or purse would be too healthy in the long run. 

On Monday I visited Love Supreme in Stonybatter for lunch before getting back to work. 

I had a lovely Americano and a pork, celery and fennel sausage roll. The sausage roll was still warm and just so tasty.

I got a second Americano to take away to enjoy in the November sunshine. 

When we were released on Tuesday I visited a Slice of Cake on Manor Place. I chose a dark chocolate orange slice - shortbread with chocolate orange. It was like eating a Terry's chocolate orange biscuit. I had a coffee here - they serve 3fe. Lovely spot but tends to get crowded.

I didn't get a coffee to take away. Instead I brought home slices of cake - coconut jam and a pomegranate and almond. 

After being let go early on Wednesday I made my way to Aungier Street to the new doughnut (donut) place, Aungier Danger. 

There's been a lot of hype around this spot and I wanted to check out the fuss. Luckily when I got there it was open (they're only open while they have stock) there wasn't much of a queue and they had plenty to choose from. Which caused an issue. I could decide so ended up getting a box of four to bring home - crime scene (red velvet with cream cheese), Banoffee autopsy, cherry gunshot and a jam five o. I think they use banana flavouring in the Banoffee. They were OK if a little denser than I'd like.

As I've a very sweet tooth my favourite was the very sugary crime scene. 

It's only takeaway so from there I walked to Krust bakery on Georges Street. Here I had an Oreo Cronut and a coffee. The Cronut was really fresh and the coffee was perfectly warming. 

On the last day of jury duty I visited The Pepperpot in Powerscourt Centre. 

As you can see I had a great seat overlooking the centre and it was really nice to sit back and listen to the piano - I think it's part of a lunchtime thing going on in Powerscourt. 

Here are the menus 

I ordered the roast pear, bacon and Montgomery cheese sandwich and an Americano. 

The sandwich - OMG! It was utterly delicious. I wouldn't have put bacon, cheese and pear together but wow does it work. The bread is thick but really fresh.  Amaze balls and I can see why that particular sandwich is a really popular menu item. 

The china wouldn't be out of place in my nanna's kitchen or on display on her dresser which I also really liked. Such a nice feel to this place and the staff are all so nice. Am only disappointed I didn't try here sooner!

So there's my highlights of my week. What about you?!
