Rathmines is probably one of our favourite parts of Dublin City.
It has just about everything you could ever need.
From a massive Tesco and Dunnes Stores, to Farmer Browns, a cinema, Umi Falafel, a bottle bank (praise the lord), Two Fifty Square coffee and a soon-to-be Fallon and Byrne in the Swan Centre.
And last night we noticed this cute-looking coffee shop under construction just beside Tesco.
It's called Pot Bellied Pig:
And it looks deadly.
We did a bit of hunting online and found some very exciting info:
Set to open "early 2017" (yippee!)
A menu of simple dishes made up of local seasonal produce
Breakfast, brunch and lunch with a variety of house staples and daily specials
Although they will not be on the “healthy” spectrum, there will be some healthy alternatives for those into that kinda thang
They will have high quality drinks options, with coffees changing on a monthly basis
They hope to "to provide customers with a place where they can come with friends or family and relax in comfort, knowing that they will get a delicious meal every time, from a team of passionate people who aren’t afraid to have a bit of craic along the way"
Sounds like a welcome addition to Rathmines if you ask us.
The place is being designed by Kingston Lafferty Design, and judging by the splash of pink of the roof and by some things we've seen on social media — it's gonna be a beaut.
And there's gonna be an outside area <3 SO dreamy.
How did an edit to CMAT’s song blow up into a BBC controversy? “It was not my decision to have the Irish language edited out of the first-ever play of EURO-COUNTRY on radio,” CMAT said on social media this week. This was the clip that launched 1000 TikToks. The edit shook the BBC to its […]
After years of passing through the margins, a station called Cabra might finally be on its way. On June 26, the NTA will supposedly release something on this. At least according to an instagram story from Cllr Feljin Jose posted earlier this week. Pronounced Fel-jin, he is a Green Party councillor for Phibsborough, Glasnevin, Drumcondra, […]

Pancakes are one of the few universal foodstuffs. Almost every culture has its own variation, and at their core, they are simple: batter, heat, and a little patience. Somehow, somewhere along the line, we let things go sideways. We let the sugar merchants win. We allowed pancakes to be hijacked by syrup-swamped, powdered-sugar-dusted, fruit-laden monstrosities. […]

Christmas Day is mid. There, I said it. Sure, it’s nice—presents under the tree, the carefully planned meal, the relentless pressure to make everything just so. But you know what’s better? Infinitely better? St. Stephen’s Day. Stephen’s Day is the Day when the fuss dies down. The pressure lifts, and the real magic of the […]
Bow down to the majestic croquette. Forget the turkey. Forget the ham, forget the stuffing, the sprouts, the gravy, and all the other overblown theatrics of Christmas dinner. They’re distractions—sideshows. The main event, the only event that truly matters, is the croquette. Croquettes are not just the best part of Christmas dinner. Croquettes are Christmas […]
Sundays are supposedly a day of ‘rest.’ That is, if your idea of “rest” involves staring into the void of your laptop screen, pretending your to-do list is “future you’s problem,” and eating a meal made entirely of cheese and fear. The “Sunday Scaries,” for the blissfully unaware, is the internet’s silly term for that […]
