Gammels in Ranelagh on the corner at the triangle.

Superquinn!!

Guess it just reminds me of my childhood getting an eclair or some other cream cake.

Delish!

Yeah Superquinns are good. Their Meringues and Coffee slices are delish. Cafe Leon on Wicklow st. are good too.

Peggy's Bakery in Glasthule. Anything from there, as a kid I loved the small sponge rolls with that brown raisiny mush inside. They have what looks like a chocolate spill with raisins and nuts mixed in, along with fruit peel, no idea what the proper name for it is. Yum.

I have found this place very disappointing and over-priced tbh. The Butler's Pantry down the road from it is much better imo, though Poppies in Dun laoghaire main street is the best of them all. Nyom

Have none of you crazy bun loving people been to Queen of Tarts across from Dublin Castle ?

enda1 · 07-05-2009 12:50pm

Amazing buns there! Especially on the tall Polish one, yowzer!

Depends on the type of bun/cake. Old school - Superquinn. New fangled stuff - Avoca.

Can someone help me out, as a kid my Dad would bring home a tiny square chocolate covered cake with a tiny little diamond of frosted peel (usually green), decorating, dead center on top, the cake itself was sponge inside with a jam layer. It was from Bewley's I think, a 'Mary' cake? I used to love their 'Dutch buns' as well.. dipping them in coffee.
