Super Dolce Sicily

Have visited Dolce Sicily on Dawson Street a number of times.

The first time I went the place was full inside but there were two tables still free outside in their teeny courtyard.

I opted to try for a table inside as I thought it looked like rain. In Ireland? Impossible!!!

Anyhow I queued and managed to get a table within 10 minutes in the room that looks like you're in someone's sitting room not a restaurant. Super cute in the basement on Dawson Street.

Took a look at the menu and it took me quite a bit of time to choose my sweet treat. Everything sounded so good - and looked it too. You can drool over the cakes on display while you queue.










I ordered a chocolate cannolo (not cannoli as this is the singular!), an Americano and a San Pellegrino limonata. The three items came to €8.20.




The cannolo was delicious!!!

It's got to be a good sign when you can hear a lot of Italian being spoken around you, right?

The staff are pleasant and efficient.

I really wanted to get a tiramisu to take away but decided I probably shouldn't be so greedy. So I have an excuse to go back and that's definitely for next time.

Second visit was just for take away. I picked up an apple cake and a cannolo.







Third visit was for breakfast. I had the toast with butter and jam and a large americano. I also got a couple of treats to take away. I got a Torta Della Nonna and a nutella and coconut cake.











Everything I've had so far has been DELICIOUS but actually still haven't had the tiramisu :)

A sweet Saturday morning

Parked at Arnotts to get some walking in the sunshine :)

Sean went to get his hair cut... 

First stop was Abercrombie & Fitch to get my future brother in law's birthday present (He wanted Fierce because he unfortunately smashed the last bottle he got!) 

Then I visited The Cupcake Bloke to pick up some of their 4th of July cupcakes. I chose Boston Creme and Peanut Butter & Jelly / Jam. 




From there I went to Kaph on Drury Street to get some new beans. 


I got myself an iced Americano and a Madeleine and sat down the back which is a great spot for people watching. Iced Americano was so nice I ended up getting a second one to take away!!!! 




Met Sean and we stopped in at Fallon and Byrne to get food for dinner that evening. 

Then we went to Parfumarija where I spent quite a while choosing my birthday present (an incredible place!) before going to Krust Bakery. 




I managed not to give in to getting a cronut or donur and tried their Nitro Cold Brew which they launched last week - really v good but might be considered a bit of an acquired taste! 


Just a v sweet sunny July Saturday morning! I'll leave you with this street art I spotted on Abbey Street.
