North Side Cafe.

Manys the time when I've found myself in the Henry street area needing a food stop. While of course there are loads of places to eat, I'm always wanting a nice bowl of soup or a cup of tea and cake in nice surroundings ie not a shopping centre or sticky tabled pub... While on a wander last weekend we stumbled on this place - Foam. Now I don't know for sure but it is possibly also a late night venue but on a Sunday morning it was lovely and bright with decidedly quirky decor. We were served great homemade tea and scones, though I was tempted by their omelettes they looked good. 
It had a very NY feel, and in my book that's always a good thing.

I thought I'd share my new favourite coffee place with you. It's The Humble bean on, is it Aungier street or South great Georges st?  As it's one and the same road depending on where you are on it, if your out and about in that area you'll find it. As a complete aside but nerdy point, the same road goes on to be both Wexford street and Camden St. One of those dublinease quirks, must be a nightmare to be a tourist in this town.  Getting back to the coffee, it's perfect, I always go for a latte and I think it knocks Lemon of my top spot. The coffee is really mellow and the milk just so. Mmm, it's my new treat in town and as it's on my route home I'm finding it's become a regular fixture of trips with the buggy, now I need to master the art of one hand pram wheeling and I'll be hooked proper.
