Sounds worth checking out — its success might prompt others to try similar things in the area which is strong on sometimes-tasty asian food but otherwise a bit under-serviced — and perhaps we might hope they might come around to opening on Saturdays and in the evenings.
There is an article about them in Totally Dublin, they are indeed planning to open in the evenings and serve alcohol – all to come. http://totallydublin.ie/
thanks for the nice review! And I’m glad you liked the food and didn’t harp in on the ‘hipster’ element too much. One person brands you a so-called hipster joint and then everyone else seems to jump on the bandwagon. If they came down and spent a bit of time they would see just as many suits, kids, students and elder folk as these cool 20somethings.
But yeah, we’re now open on Saturdays and evenings will come down the line, along with the beer and wine license.
Dublin 8 is a great area and we’re glad we’re able to offer a little towards the people who live and work here
Hey Aisling, congratulations on your success, I’m really happy to see it doing so well – I think the Fumbally Cafe really deserves to be popular, and it’s great to see somewhere like this in my area. Sorry for bringing up the hipsters 😉
Was there yesterday. The porchetta bun (pulled pork with all sorts of fillings) was sensational and the cup of soup for extra 2.50 was really good as well. Also had the homemade ginger and lemonade which was really refreshing, Will definitely be back again for the porchetta.
As a Dublin 8’er I am so happy to see the space being used by the Fumbally Cafe. Creative interior, lovely food (most importantly) and no sense of being rushed out the door as with some other places in Dublin. I am looking forward to longer opening hours.
I hope the ‘hipster’ label doesn’t stick and in turn put people off from going. Good mix of people and I haven’t yet felt uncomfortable in there.

W had breakfast there this morning (now open Saturdays) and were impressed by food, service, space and price.
We will be back for more, hopefully also for some artisan beers in the evening, ie, if all goes to plan!.

I definitely recommend it. Family friendly, nice people all around (not only “hipsters”, which I am not) and above all great food to warm you up.

Smashing veggie grub. Delighted to have Fumbally in the neighbourhood
