Tillies Cafe

There’s nothing that makes me miss emigrating more than going somewhere were everyone knows each other, that’s literally 10 minutes from the house you grew up in, and nobody knows you!
So Tillies makes me very sad, but also very happy! It seems the masses of Clontarf do be in and out of here all day and everyone is really friendly.
I was here recently for a chin-​wag with an old friend and we enjoyed our 90 minutes or so in the bright, bustling surroundings. We each had a cappuccino and a scone. The cappuccino was decent. Not too milky — just how like it. The scone was a wee bit dry but good all the same, served with cream and jam –my favourite!
The staff were lovely, very friendly having chats with customers (everybody knows everybody so of course they are!) and just being generally smiley, which makes the café quite cheerful.

This is a lovely quaint restaurant to meet and catch up with friends. The menu is varied ranging from soup and sandwiches to salads. They serve wine, many types of coffees and teas and a vast variety of soft drinks. They offer many types of cakes and biscuits. They also have an outside seating area when the weather is fine. The prices are all very reasonable. There is parking right outside the door. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It tends to be a very busy spot all day long.
