Dublin Eats - Breakfast at Sister Sadie

We like trying new coffee shops in Dublin.  We found ourselves over near Camden Street one morning before work with a bit of time to spare and decided to sit down to breakfast at Sister Sadie, the new girl on the block.

We walked past the takeaway counter and a wide range of tempting treats.

We sat down at a table in front of a spacious window with views onto the Georgian apartments across the road.  The place has great atmosphere.

Otherwise, the furniture and surroundings were quite minimalist.

Two tiny but well-crafted cappuccinos were put in front of us.

I opted for the value-for-money breakfast special which included a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice...

...and a medium bowl of granola with yogurt and apple, berry, and sweet geranium compote.

We also tried the chocolate, hazelnut swirl to round out the breakfast special.  When I saw 'swirl' on the menu, it sounded like something fancy and exotic.  Not so...  'swirl' translates to 'cinnamon roll' in the U.S.  Still, the chocolate, hazelnut version was a welcome departure from tradition.

We also opted for the winter bircher bowl which featured pomegranate seeds and cardamom.  The spice of the cardamom was a bit much for me.  I enjoyed a few bites but then happily left my husband to polish off the muesli which I tucked into my sweet, sweet swirl.
