First visit for 40 years for special birthday get together with family not seen in all that time. There was confusion with booking when we arrived, my table of six had been given to someone else but before staff realised they sent us upstairs to look for our table, it took 3 staff to sort it . Eventually given a new table. Food was great waiting staff very attentive and helpful. The surroundings beautiful.

The atmosphere at Bewley’s is quite amazing, with the old building and it’s interior design, however the experience is not quite as special as you would have hoped for, mainly because it’s a very busy place. The personnel seemed stressed and the price for an afternoon tea €49, does not seem right when you look at what you receive. Teas are amazing and so was the coffee , but the assorted breads, mini sandwiches, scones and pastries were too small, too dry and very overpriced. I’d recommend a visit for a cuppa, but not for afternoon tea!

We had the Afternoon Tea and it was wonderful!! Everything was made in house and was delicious! The service was attentive and pleasant and I loved the ambiance of the library section I was seated in. Very much worth the price and the time. I read about Bewley's from a blogger and oh my, yes!

I was really disappointed by my experience with the afternoon tea in Bewleys. We were supposed to have 4 sandwiches each and we had asked for specific ones to be switched because of dietary needs and we got the one we asked not to have anyway and we were both missing a sandwich each. The portion size is tiny. We had to ask twice for a tea refill and it was cold both times. There were fruit flies flying around. The service was dreadful. For €54 each (mandatory service charge in there too) I felt completely ripped off. Would not recommend and will definitely not be returning.

Enjoy a journey back in time to a coffee house from yester years. All the best art and ambience of the three Bewley’s Cafe’s combined in one place. Worth a detour.
