Brunch · Drumcondra, Dublin 9
The Lovely Food Company is a family-run, dog-friendly café in Drumcondra serving breakfast, brunch and an all-day menu of tartines, toasties and bowls, with a wine bar in the evenings from Thursday to Saturday. It stands on Drumcondra Road Lower, a short walk from Croke Park.
A café that states dogs are welcome both inside and out, with a puppuccino on the menu, and that is genuinely family-friendly for mixed groups of adults, children and dogs.
The café's own site states dogs are welcome inside and outside, asking only that they stay on the floor, and lists a €1 puppuccino; its sister café Bread and Butter two doors away also welcomes dogs. It publishes breakfast times, until 12.30 on weekdays and 1pm at weekends, but no full café opening hours, noting that the wine bar opens from 18:00 Thursday to Saturday. Facts taken from the café's Life at Lovely page. The cafe's own pages publish no hours for the counter, so the hours field is left blank.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
