Vegan Cafés in Dublin: Plant-Based Bakes and Oat Milk

Q: Do Dublin cafés charge extra for oat milk?

Most Dublin cafés charge extra for oat milk, often €0.50 in 2026 and up to €0.70. Bibi's on Emorville Avenue and Brindle on Lennox Street charged nothing, the Fumbally €0.30 and Indigo & Cloth €0.20, while Mister Magpie charged €0.60.

Q: Which Dublin cafés with vegan food are open in the evening?

Cakes N' More on Blessington Street in Dublin is open until 21:00 every day, Graze at the Elbowroom on Brunswick Street North until 20:00 Monday to Thursday, and Happy Food in Portobello reopens until 21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Upstairs at Fallon & Byrne on Exchequer Street, the restaurant has a full plant-based menu.

Dublin's meat-free food scene has shrunk and regrouped. Several well-known vegan places closed in the early 2020s, among them Kale + Coco, the Vegan Sandwich Company and Sova Vegan Butcher, and most of the good options left are not strictly meat-free.¹

What you find instead are cafés with long vegan menus beside a few fully plant-based counters. Grafton Street & St Stephen's Green has the most cafés with vegan options, ahead of Smithfield & Stoneybatter and Portobello & Camden Street. Near Grafton Street they include Rosie's Cafe on Werburgh Street and Tiller and Grain on South Frederick Street; in Portobello, Brother Hubbard South on Harrington Street, Meltdown on Montague Street and The Cake Cafe on Pleasants Place.

Local tip: Ask for oat milk at Bibi's in Portobello or Brindle on Lennox Street, where it cost nothing extra in 2026.²

Where these cafés are: Grafton Street & St Stephen's Green (6), Smithfield & Stoneybatter (5), Portobello & Camden Street (4), The Liberties (2), Capel Street & O'Connell Street (2), Phibsborough & Drumcondra (1), Ballsbridge (1).
