THE LAB, Raheny
Loved by parents who drop off and pick up their kids from the nearby school this coffee cart set up during the pandemic and has been a hit. Apart from coffee they have toasties and pastries available for anyone feeling peckish and there's plenty of outdoor seating. And for your pooch? They get plenty of attention as well as dog biscuits.
Kennedy's Food store, Raheny
Opened from Tuesday to Sunday this one is one of my favourites. They have a wide selection of dishes for breakfast and lunch, and there's plenty of cakes, pastries and other goodies available if you're on the go. And cherry on top- dogs are allowed indoors!
Red Stables, St Anne's Park
Who doesn't know this fab cafe in the beautiful surroundings of St Anne’s Park and the Red Stables building. It’s always busy whether it’s on a Monday morning or during the market time on Saturday. They have warm and cold food available, treats, drinks and ice cream during the summer months so there really is something for everyone. Water bowls and plenty of covered outside seating available for you and your doggo.
The Orange Goat, Killester
Another one I visited quite frequently during the various lock downs over the last couple of years. They have an extensive menu and you can pre-order online or pop-in with your pup and take it easy.
Happy Out, Bull Island
I've been coming here ever since I moved to Raheny 4 years ago. I didn't have a dog back then but I appreciated all the dogs around. They do a mean toastie and have yummie treats available every day. Most seating is outdoor and there's water bowls available for your dog. The walks around there are beautiful as well so it's a win win for everyone!
*As a good rule of thumb, always ask the staff at the Cafe's if your furry friends are allowed on their premises.
