they are doing renevations, i'd imagine they'll be open soon as they've been closed for ages.

All this talk of breakfast rolls is making me hungry. *licks lips*

Damn you Janurary and healthy eating, I mustn't give in to the temptation of breakfast rolls

Right I work in a shop, it's either a Spar/Centra/Londis. It doesn't matter because when it comes down to the matter of cooked food, they are all the same. All of these places get the same produce. Anyway, DO NOT, I repeat do not have a breakfast roll past 10am from any of these places because the food was cooked at 7 or even 8am and left in the heater all day long. I've tasted one of those rashers at 4pm, it's disgusting. And I'm not even going into the subject of food poisoning. Often it's a matter of guess work whether the food is cooked, "Eh it looks cooked, so it must be ....duuuhhh"
To be honest, people who work in these places will be very lazy and cut corners, the best breakfast roll is one you'll make yourself or seen cooked in front of you.
There is a nice little place in Rathgar, on Rathgar Avenue, beside the 108, the girls in there fry the sausages, rashers etc, on a frying pan right in front of you, it's delicious!

They all may get the same produce but some really do make a fist of preparing it. The spar on camden st that cremo recommended is very good I have found. I do tend to wander in there at around 7 - 7.30 so everything is lovely and fresh.

There is ( or was up to last November ) a cafe in the Fruit Market behind Capel Street. They make an amazing Breakfast roll - all freshly cooked. You will be waiting 10 mins for it but its worth the wait. Jumbo breakfasts are amazing also. My chest is paining me thinking about it

I like the one in Gerards on Leeson St Lr.

I dare say the best ever. Sausage, bacon, black/white, fried egg, hash brown, tomato.

Best pudding, good granby white pud, spicy, like hot pate, fried egg, none of this circular omellete ****e. Fresh warm crusty roll.

I think it's around €4.95, but it's really the best I've ever had. The best.

Ger's in Ballyfermot is meant to be class, never had one, but was out there one day and my mate got one, it smelled amazing pity for my hungover state and dodgy stomach.

I personnally like my home cooked ones, fresh roll, 3 superquinn sausages, 2 dennys streaky bacon, 2 back rashers, and a mountain of Meath St's finest white pudding that I mash up with a fork.:cool:

OK I know it's not exactly on your way, but damnit it's worth it for the best breakfast roll you'll have ever tasted. There is a small newsagents on Bolton Street called Declan's and his rolls are truely outstanding.

Best rolls ever. Declan is the fattest man in all of dublin and you can't blame him having to sit and look at those rolls being made all day.

Rumour has it that he's permanently stuck behind the cash register!

Does anyone ever do a brekki roll with beans? I swear I had one last year with:

fried eggs
bacon
rashers
puddings
beans
spuds

Popped over to the Spar on Thomas St a few days ago and their's nearly killed me (and that was without the well grey eggs).

Ive eaten breakfast rolls all over the place and the best ones are

• The chuck wagon
• Matt the rashers
• A little newagents beside Santry garda station..(called Sarahs maybe?)
• The cafe on maynooth mainstreet

I'm always on the look out for more places *follows thread*

It's been a lot of years since I've been to Declan's - but when I was in Bolton St DIT, his lunch rolls were legendary! I can only assume his breakfast rolls would be equally as good...........................

+1 on this id never had a breakfast roll like it lived on the food in that place when i was in Bolton St DIT, his breakfast rolls and chicken fillet rolls with wedges cheese mayo and ketchup on it were savage for lunch more like a dinner in a roll. But i heard a very sad sickening story that Declans is now closed these days, gutted to hear it would love to sample some his food again.

Declan was a legend no need for cash register all calculations done in his head in seconds, and sure if you were a few cent short sure it didnt matter it was grand with him.

the chuck wagons are always a good bet,they do breakfast in a soda farl too if that's your thing,and cooked in front of you.the cafe across from superQuinn in finglas make consistently delicious rolls if a little pricey.further afield,the coffee pot in balbriggan make lovely ones too,as do most supervalue stores.
