Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Naas

"The food scene in Dublin is to die for, but one of my absolute favorite spots is Queen of Tarts, a positively sassy cafe and patisserie. It’s more than earned its reputation as one of the best casual weekend brunch spots in Old City. If you find yourself on Dame Street, you simply must pop in!"

"This is a great little hidden gem for anyone who loves cakes. From the bulging towers of various chocolate cakes to the more delicate and beautifully crafted fruit cakes: every cake here is a work of edible art. Try the chocolate and Irish stout cake."

"At Michelle Darmody's dreamy little Cake Café local, organic, and seasonal are the words to live by, where you can chow down on simple savory...Read More"

"You can’t go wrong with any of the offerings in The Cake Café. We have a special fondness for the lemon yoghurt cake, though."

"Dinky and sweet, Dolce Sicily is a lovely café offering what appears at first sight to be standard fare – soup and panini – but the ingredients are first class and authentically Italian; try the mild and fragrant fennel salami. The main event, however, are the desserts and cakes: try the crisp cannoli filled with vanilla or chocolate cream, the strawberry cake, the pineapple upside-down cake or the moist and rich Nutella tart. Bear in mind, Dolce Sicily fills up fast at lunchtime."

"Price: €2.50Look: 2.5/5Texture: 3/5Taste: 3/5Value: 3/5Total: 11.5/20. Verdict: The Italian bakery offers, unsurprisingly, an Italian take on the pastry, glazed on the outside and therefore much sweeter than a traditional French croissant. The dough tastes like it’s been flavoured with what I suspect to be orange blossom flower water."

"Eoin Cluskey is a bread obsessive, and he pays tribute to all things doughy at a cafe tucked under a railway bridge near Science Gallery Dublin. The team stone mills flour, then ferments and bakes delicious sourdough breads. Morning buns are a great start to the day and there are tasty, creative lunch options depending on what’s in season."

"The name might be a dead giveaway, but this is the place to come to in Dublin for your daily bread. The loaves and rolls are just the beginning of the carb heaven that can be found each morning at Bread 41. Order a buttery almond croissant, or indulge in the homemade sausage roll with the perfect flaky pastry."

"Price: €2.40Look: 4.5/5Texture: 4.5/5Taste: 4.5/5Value: 3.5/5Total: 17/20. Verdict: The texture is perfect, with very even, regular lamination and delicate crispiness. The flavour is pleasant with a lovely hint of butter, and a subtle smell of yeast."

"Colourful cronuts with flavours such as Nutella, Oreo and Cinnamon, and drool-worthy doughnuts filled with vanilla cream are just some of the treats you can taste in Krust bakery on Georges St. Located in the city centre, it's the ideal spot to pop in for some freshly baked treats when you're on the go."

"Pioneering the way with the invention of the 'cronut', (half-crossaint- half donut) this bakery has a lot more to offer, featuring a great selection of classic donuts as well as pastries."

"Established by two Irish culinary arts graduates who spent time in San Franciso perfecting their craft, Scéal Bakery specialises in sourdough bread and handcrafted croissants. Their baked goods are painstakingly made over the course of multiple days to ensure each loaf and pastry has their signature aroma, flavour, and texture. Scéal Bakery source local Irish ingredients where possible, and adapt their menu to take advantage of seasonal produce."

"Price: €3.50Look: 5/5Texture: 4/5Taste: 4.5/5Value: 2.5/5Total: 16/20. Verdict: The lack of a decent bakery on this side of Dublin 8 explains the ridiculous queue to get to the Scéal counter inside the Fumbally market on a Saturday morning. But is it really worth the hype and the painful wait to get this croissant?"

"Thunders Home Bakery chain is one of the most successful bakery chains in Dublin, and for good reason. The chain’s wonderful range of classic cakes and pastries and their freshly baked bread have been delighting Dubliners since 1969. The chain have multiple locations across the city and also offer online delivery."

"Thunders Home Bakery is a traditional bakery located in the heart of Dublin. They are famous for their Black Forest Gateau and Brown Soda Bread. They bake all their items on a daily basis to ensure everything is fresh."

"Situated in the centre of the city close to Trinity College is Hansel and Gretel Bakery & Patisserie. The bakery can certainly claim to be one of the most picturesque in the city, with an elegant facade and a beautifully-appointed interior. Their artisan breads are baked fresh every day and the bakery has a range of fresh pastries and cakes available."

"Since cookie cravings don’t follow a calendar, The Dublin Cookie Company bakes and sells cookies seven days a week. And not just any cookies. In the shop’s open kitchen, bakers create cookie concoctions like familiar Chocolate Chip and fancier Sea Salted Caramel & Toasted Pecan using Irish butter and other local ingredients."

"This Bakery and Patisserie on Clare Street makes delicious baked treats as well as gourmet sandwiches for lunch. I've often called in for a grab-n-go sambo and they've always been delicious with really interesting flavours such as goats cheese, walnut and pear."

"Magnificent Castletown House simply has no peer. It is Ireland’s most imposing Georgian estate, and a testament to the vast wealth enjoyed by the Anglo-Irish gentry during the 18th century. Hour-long guided tours begin at noon and 3pm, offering an insight into how the 1% made out in the 18th century; otherwise you can wander at will. Don't miss a stroll down to the river for grand views back to the house. Castletown is signposted from junction 6 on the M4."

"Set in the beautiful St Anne's Park in Clontarf, the Red Stables Food Market is ideal for a romantic stroll, a day out with the family, or just a browse with your mates. It runs every Saturday from 10am to 5pm (10am to 4 pm in winter) and is set against a Victorian two-storey building which features design studios, artist workspaces, a commercial gallery, café and courtyard area where the market takes place."

"The Olivier Cornet Gallery on Denmark Street represents some incredible contemporary Irish and international artists, who's works include painting, sculpture, ceramics, fine art prints, photography and installations. They're always running incredible exhibitions too, so have a look at their site to see which artists they're showcasing at the moment."

"Unexpected and splendid: the Chester Beatty Library, with its remarkable collections of Oriental, Islamic and Western art and books, is simply one of the finest museums in Ireland. This collection was gifted to the Irish State by Chester Beatty, an American mining magnate. The permanent 'Arts of the Book' and 'Sacred Traditions' exhibitions showcase the Library's treasures, which include Chinese jade books and Biblical papyri in state-of-the-art galleries; other exhibitions change regularly."

"Many of Dublin’s museums focus on Irish history or culture, but the lovely Chester Beatty Library has international collections of art and artifacts that offer a glimpse at global wonders. Best of all, the celebrated museum is absolutely free to visit. Set inside the gardens of Dublin Castle, the library and art exhibitions are considered some of the best in Ireland."

"Nestled behind Dublin Castle, the Chester Beatty is the only museum in Ireland to have won the European Museum of the Year award. Its vast collection of religious artifacts from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa is unparalleled. Works from 2700 B.C."

"This atmospheric Indonesian restaurant is one of my favourite places for a romantic dinner. Make sure to ask for a table upstairs in their ‘Bali room’, adorned with Balinese decorations, where guests sit comfortably around low tables. The chameleon specialises in rijst-tafel (rice-table), where staff light hot plates on your table and several small dishes are brought to you at the same time."

"what’s more romantic than getting dressed up and strolling around dublin’s temple bar?. run by husband and wife team carol and kevin, chameleon restaurant serves up contemporary indonesian cuisine with warm irish hospitality. guests can fully trust the staff recommendations in this restaurant – they know their stuff!"

"Located in Temple Bar, the Project Arts Centre has become a leader in contemporary artistic practice in Dublin and in Ireland. It also hosts local and international festivals like the Dublin Writers Festival, the Dublin Theatre Festival or the Dublin Fringe Festival."

"Tucked away in the historic cobbled streets of Temple Bar is Project Arts Centre, Dublin's best kept secret, a venue packed full of surprises."

"Again, you will have done your homework and booked something in advance, we hope (though there always is a chance to get late tickets even for the Abbey Theatre, with a bit of luck). If you are set on enjoying an Irish night out, a large number of pubs offer their services and many also provide entertainment (free or for a small fee in most cases). Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."
