I was up in the Beacon Hospital recently with a pal who was poorly... The Beacon is one of the nicest hospitals and honestly in reception you would think it was a luxury hotel but when your there for the not so fun stuff, and you need to get out of the building, it's nice to find a cafe to deflect any conversation of illness... So step up Barista's Cafe in Sandyford... this is just behind the Microsoft building and you could see a busy stream of various employees getting coffee and goodies but the morning we were there there were just a few sitting down... which was kinda nice because once the rush was over there was a nice lull to the place...
All the usual suspects...
Plenty of seating, I'm pretty sure they're very busy at lunch hours!
If you're on your own waiting there's a cute book stand with lots of variety...
Sometimes the waiting part about hospitals is the worst bit...
so it was perfect for me to stick around and read for a hour whilst she was busy...
Tangent: GLITTER LOO SEAT!!! I know!
The coffee is excellent... and the juice cold...
The tea drinkers get the cutest little pot and a top up of hot water isn't a problem...
Herself had the small grill, 2 sausages, 2 eggs, tomato and bacon...
I'm told it filled the hunger perfectly!
I went for the eggs on bagels with bacon...
all gooey like I like em... and everything was piping hot!
If you're just passing or breakfast was over...
they have a fab selection of teas, coffees and cakes...
Paleo friendly cake...
and they tempt you at the till to try a bit!
This is a lovely little cafe in the middle of an industrial estates and lots of offices...
Its comfy, the staff are lovely and it's a short stroll to the hospital or the luas
and if you had to wait for a service on your car it's very close to all the car garages too!
