Nice

Food was nice if a little bland. Ordering process was a little unclear but we figured it out. Seems to be more of a lunch place that is branching out.

Ordering was confusing. There was a QR code for ordering drinks but food had to be ordered and collected from the counter, but you also paid after it was prepared. Everyone seemed confused about how to order including the staff!

Pros: All of the food was vegan, Vegan ice cream

Cons: Coffee was okay but not great, Where and how to order was confusing

A must visit whilst in Dublin!!

I ordered the peanut tofu bagel sandwich and an apple scone and tried a family member's spanakopita. The portions are huge, everything was delicious, and there were some great options for dinner. Dined with two omnis and one vegetarian (I'm vegan), and everyone was able to find something they enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the Dublin area.

Pros: Tasty options, Fast counter service, Desserts, pastries, and sweet treats!

Lovely lunch

We enjoyed a lovely meal here, food is fresh, tasty and plentiful. We got a gorgeous soft serve cone for dessert and enjoyed every moment of it sitting on the outside seating watching the world go by. Lovely.

Awesome vegan breakfast

If I could give this place 20 stars, I would! The gentleman is so friendly and the food was heavenly made from scratch and all vegan. Loved the homemade bread which accompanied the tofu and beans! Great selection, great taste. Definitely the best meal I had in Dublin

Pros: Wide menu, Unassuming Irish food, Friendly atmosphere

Best food I ate in Ireland

Soooo tasty. I received an entree and two salads for around 20 euros. Sick! It tasted very fresh and nutritious. Went here multiple times on my trip!

absolutely delightful

Went on a delightful walk through Dublin to get here. We were jet lagged after pulling an all nighter on an overnight flight and they had tasty food for tired travelers. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the food choices. The coffee was excellent! The decor inside this cafe is gorgeous. It was bliss to sit on the second story and people watch while finally getting to eat vegan soft serve. This place was a dream😇

Pros: Atmosphere , Food Quality, Kind Staff

Favourite restaurant ever

Cornucopia is a cute vegetarian restaurant that offers homemade vegan nourishing dishes! My favourite is the lasagna and the garlic potato side salad you have to try their cherry and almond scones if they have them😋the coffee is amazing and no charge for alternative milk - I am pretty sure all of their dishes/desserts are vegan but they just have dairy butter/milk as a side option.

Pros: Coffee , Salads , Main dishes

Casual and good food

Canteen-style set up with a handful of dinner choices. For about €20 you can get a main course plus two salads. All food is vegan, I was told, although they do offer cow's milk with coffee.
The food is great and portions generous. Order at the till then find a seat, across three floors.

Pros: Good food, Casual

No need to visit any other restaurant in Dublin!

I very nearly missed this as I was searching for vegan restaurants only on the app & this is labelled as vegetarian. Luckily a friend told me about this place so I didn’t miss it. This restaurant is now completely vegan!
Food is incredible & I’m basically going to be spending lots more money here whilst I’m in Dublin. They even do soft ice cream from the machine! Can’t wait to come back tomorrow & try the breakfast menu. I’m so in love with this place & doubt I’ll visit any other restaurants now

Pros: Choice of food , Such friendly & amazing staff, Vegan soft ice cream from the machine

Cons: Not the cheapest of places but worth it

Hi, just to say that it is actually still not completely vegan here. The food is vegan but dairy milk and butter are still served, and you have to clarify when ordering if you want plant based milk.

Great menu

I liked that they had different options. I had breakfast and dinner the same day here. For breakfast, I had scrambled tofu toast, which was just amazing, and banana bread which was good but not so great. For dinner, I had potato cake and some salad. It wasn't bad but didn't impress me. A little bland. I also had a chocolate cake, which was sooo yummy! I would recommend this place nevertheless . The place itself is very nice

Tasty Vegan Meal

There were 4 main dishes to choose from at the counter where your food is served- put on a tray and you carry it upstairs. The server recommended the potato cake with beet topping. It was good - not amazing. And you could pick 2 of the six salad options. No tofu or tempeh offered. I also had the soft serve vanilla ice cream with a little chocolate sauce drizzled on top which was pretty disappointing. The half pint of beer was good!

Quick and casual, not “fast food”

Great casual meal for an overwhelmed tourist. I had the shepherds pie with sweet potato soup and a piece of spelt bread, my partner had quiche and potato salad. All of it was delicious- I’ll happily return on a future visit!

Cornucopia: Dublin’s Canteen-Style Haven for Vegan Delights

If you're searching for a fantastic plant-based dining experience in Dublin, Cornucopia is the place to be. Though Happy Cow labels it as vegetarian, everything on offer was vegan, with the exception of dairy milk as an option for hot drinks.

The setup is canteen-style, where you order at the counter and are greeted with a variety of incredibly appetizing dishes. We tried the shepherd’s pie and seitan alla pizzaiola, and both were bursting with flavor. The portion sizes were generous—we could barely make a dent in our fourth salad! But no worries, because they offer takeaway boxes, making it easy to bring leftovers home.

For anyone in Dublin looking for a satisfying, wholesome meal, Cornucopia is a 10/10 recommendation!

Updated from previous review on 2025-04-16

Pros: Flavourful food, Generous portions, Great venue. Plenty of seating on all floors.

Bester Dirty Chai in Town!

Wir haben leider einen schlechten Zeitpunkt für unseren Besuch erwischt (11 Uhr) - das Frühstück wsr schon leer, das Mittagessen noch nicht fertig 😅. Schade, dabei klang es so lecker. Leider hatten wir nicht die Zeit zu warten, sonst hätten wir unseren Flieger verpasst.
Also entschieden wir uns für die Salatauswahl (man kann aus 6 Salate 3 oder 4 auswählen) und Dirty Chai und das belegte Ciabatta und frisch gepressten Orangensaft. Alle Sachen waren sehr schmackhaft, der Dirty Chai der beste, den ich seit langem getrunken habe.

Die Preise sind etwas teurer als üblich, aber dafur wird hier eben auch Wert auf die Qualität gelegt.

Fazit: Beim nächsten Mal planen wir dir Uhrzeit fur unseren Besuch besser. 😅

Pros: Breites Angebot, Sehr lecker, Tolle Inneneinrichtung

Cons: 3 Etagen und überall war es kalt. 🫣😅, Etwas hochpreisiger

Great fresh food

Caveat from October 2024: be careful as the sign now says that their food is now fully vegan, but they still serve dairy milk and butter. I was surprised and disappointed to be asked if I wanted 'regular milk' with my hot chocolate.

Updated review March 2025:
I had added this to my list to try on happy cow based on the glowing reviews, but additionally got 3 real life recommendations which hardly ever happens so I knew I had to come here. I now come here fairly regularly! I enjoy eating fresh tasty vegan food here in this meat free and mostly vegan (still disappointingly serves dairy milk and butter) restaurant - although with regular visits I've noticed that flavours can be hit and miss.
At the end of the day though, major props for offering such a varied vegan menu - it shows what can be done! Mains I've tried include tofu massaman, enchilada, potato cake, lasagne, stroganoff, spaghetti Bolognese, spanakopita, and shepherds pie. Desserts include pumpkin pie, banoffee pie, mince pie, apple caramel cake, strawberry cheesecake, and Biscoff cheesecake. Drinks include dirty chai, black tea, hot chocolate, iced Americano, Irish coffee, mulled wine, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
It's very popular especially at peak times but there's 3 floors of seating (however, sometimes top floor is closed off) so you shouldn't be too stuck for a table, depending on the size of your group. One day I came here with a group on 5 on a Saturday at 4pm and we were not able to find a table and had to leave which was very disappointing.
The main downside is that you have to carry your own (heavy) tray of food and climb the narrow steep stairs as you search for a table, which is tricky, especially if others are coming downstairs against you.
The period detail of the building and decor is lovely though, especially on the second floor.
Sometimes staff can be friendly and helpful and other times very taciturn.
