    Boojum are opening in the Pita Pit unit which I didn't realise had closed down. Its a pity(pun intended!) that Pita Pit closed as it only really opened around the start of Covid so never really got a chance to succeed. I got a few good lunches in there over last 18 months or so.


    Between Boojum and Bunsen going in adjacent to it and Krispy Kreme, that location will become a real magnet for hungry folk!

    Thats a shame as the few times we went it was nice and had friendly staff. Like a healthy subway (not much of a compliment i know)

    Pita pit will be missed. Was there for about 2 years before covid. Went there a fair few times over the years. Shame as I won’t pay to get it delivered from J6 it becomes too pricey and it’s a bit out of the way now.

    Wow I hadn't realised it had been open there that long before Covid. Funny since WFH, there's a lot of D15 I've only noticed since Covid.

    "The ideal destination for all things food, fitness and lifestyle".

    Until the owners get the permission they're seeking to demolish whats there and build a huge hotel.

    They must've been getting rode for rent in Blanch. Only big chains seem to be able to afford it.

    Ah I am sad to hear that about Pita Pit, I was nearly going there for my lunch yesterday. Just as well I didn't! I enjoyed Pita Pit a lot on the odd occasion I got it but not sure I'll be as likely to pop down to Junction 6 for it. Maybe for a collection. I feel like J6 is a bit of a black hole for food biz they never seem to last long down there.

    Junction 6 really seems like an out of the way location hidden in its own cul de sac. Unless I was a member of the gym there(which I'm not), I don't think I'd ever drive all the way into it for just a coffee or sandwich yet it seems to attract new businesses all the time. It must get minimal pedestrian footfall too.


    I think the new road layouts 10 years ago made it more isolated for incidental traffic to pass by it.

    Don't know. I saw builders busy in both last week so I'd imagine they'll surely both be open soon enough to catch the pre Christmas trade?

    Good to know. Should definitely be this side of Christmas in that case!

    Where exactly is Bunsen setting up shop?

    It's a fascinating spot. Drove in for a coffee one day, the drive thru is handy. It was packed between gym goers and kids on a fun day out. It's a destination rather than somewhere you pass through and browse, but is doing well enough for it. I can't understand its appeal as a hotel location!

    I was in the area, so popped into Bujo for a Burger, Chicken Sandwich & spicy fries.

    No queues at around 5pm on a Wednesday.

    All very good.

    My partner said its the best burger she's eaten in a long time.

    I loved those fries. Have to go back.

    Great location, but sad to hear esquires is gone - that was a decent spot and the coffee was great .. the service on the other hand left a lot to be desired!

    I went there a few weeks back and our experience was the opposite - the worst burger we've had in, possibly ever? I swear it was frozen meat, judging by how round and processed it looked. I've been to Bujo a few times out in Sandymount and this was a completely different experience altogether.

    Totally agree, Bujo in Castleknock isn't a patch on Bujo in Sandymount. The burgers are overdone in Castleknock, nothing like the juicy burgers they serve in Sandymount, and the fries are so bad after our first order we always ordered onion rings instead. We were excited when it opened first, but we've given up on it now. Can't wait for Bunsen to open.

    Boojum well under way and due to open late 2021. Loads of work done in Bunsen too, the doors were open and I had a good look in 😁

    [Edit] Just remembered its where Pita Pit used to be.

    That's a terrible location for a takeout food place really, but Boojum probably get more delivery orders than most.

    Possibly but that whole area is now going to be a food destination including a lot of takeout foods - Krispy Kreme, Bunsen, Musashi, Boojum, McDonalds and not to forget Ming Court upstairs. The traffic there will be high with Deliveroo and Just Eat drivers plus people calling to collect their own orders.

    No doubt exemplary planning was done to handle such a situation when granting the tenancies, and I for one cannot wait to see the new measures that are introduced to deal with it.

    How can you say that? Krispy Kreme had its most successful global opening ever at that "terrible location " and most if its business was takeout. McDonalds has a constant drive thru queue for its takeout business there for 20+ years. What makes you think Boojum is making a bad choice by locating there if it's adjacent businesses do a roaring takeout trade there?

    They're both drivethroughs. There isn't a worse walk up location in the centre.

    Pita Pit have been able to keep their unit in the docklands going with maybe a tenth of peak trade this last year so it wasn't a problem with their product.
