Exceptionally delicious food! Friendly atmosphere. - Edit
The Happy Pear cafe has the most delicious food!
Read moreIt is a real treat to have so much choice!
The meals and the salads are amazing.
We drove to Greystones just to go to The Happy Pear, and we weren't disappointed. If you possibly can, go and eat there. Or takeaway is another option.
The staff are a family affair and I have to say that we got such a warm welcome. Great customer service! We asked about places to visit locally and in other parts of Ireland, and we were given lots of advice and suggestions, fantastic! One of the customers joined in to offer his opinion as well!
There were plenty of locals at the cafe as well as visitors.
After lunch we went to the Happy Pear grocery and organic vegetable store, which is in the same building. We stocked up with Happy Pear ready made meals, pesto, hummus, oat milk and chocolates. All set to continue our travels, we were very happy due to the wonderful food and the wonderful people who work at The Happy Pear Cafe and Shop!
Thank you!
Pros: So much great food. In the cafe and the shop., Friendly staff, A lovley, welcoming vibe.

Throne pit-stop after a coastal walk - Edit
One of my favourite things to do in Dublin is stopping here to eat after the 6km walk from Bray to Greytones. They always have different dishes available, you can choose from the counter, and the servings are really big! The little shop is also appreciated. I loveee their granola!

Happy pair! 😁 - Edit
During our road trip through Ireland, visiting this spot was an absolute must! I've always enjoyed The Happy Pear podcast, so I was excited to visit their café and shop. My husband and I had a hearty lentil lasagna paired with a fresh salad. For dessert, we shared the polenta cake and a bounty bar along with a coffee. The food is served canteen-style, so you get a view of all the delicious options. There was a soup, a curry, a couple of sandwiches and a falafel wrap available. We chose to eat in the sunny courtyard, though there's plenty of indoor seating as well. It was great to see how popular the place was. After our meal, we browsed the shop, where I picked up some fresh produce to enjoy for the rest of our trip.

Super lentil lasagna - Edit
I was happy to finally visit The happy pear! The lentil lasagna was good, portions are big and with lots of veggies. A bit disappointed by the cakes.. But maybe it's just me. Unfortunately together with the scone they gave me dairy butter and also the shop sells eggs. I bit disappointed about this.
Read morePros: Good food, Nice atmosphere , Lots of veggies
Cons: Dairy butter was offered, Eggs sold in the shop, I didn't like the cakes

One of the best vegan cafes in the world! - Edit
We’ve been vegetarian and vegan for nearly a decade and have used the Happy Pear’s YouTube videos and books as inspiration for recipes and meals so it was very exciting to finally be able to go to their cafe today. It lived up to everything we hoped for! The lentil and veg lasagna was amazing and the portion of potatoes and salad meant the huge plate was filled to the brim! The cookies, brownie and salted caramel slice were fantastic! They also have a lovely shop and everyone was very friendly. We went on a Saturday lunch time and there was a real community feel to the place.
Read moreJust as a side note, they do have cows milk as an option and you need to specify you want a dark chocolate hot chocolate as the milk chocolate option does use cows milk as well.

Super rico y variado - Edit
Tienen un menú que cambia cada día pero muchísimos platos para elegir, muchos sides y muchas sopitas. De precio para la reputación que tiene y para estar cerca de Dublín no está mal. Merece la pena el viaje. Fuimos un día que hacía sol y nos pudimos sentar en la terraza. Tienen muchísimo sitio para sentarse dentro y fuera y una cafetería y una tiendecita también donde venden productos orgánicos y algunos que hacen allí ellos mismos. Probamos la lasaña de lentejas, que tenía mil verduras y el humus de side, super bueno. Volvería otra vez a probar los postres y el café.

Food was nice. Don't love this style. - Edit
Why do my salads get piled on top of my hot food and gravy? It still tasted good. But it is a horrible was to present food.

Fantastic food as always - Edit
Never had a bad experience here and the staff are always so friendly. Has lost a little of its heart though in the last few years from when I first went there. Might help if they followed the Cornucopia model a bit more.
