I went to A Dó last week with a friend of mine and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I ordered the salmon bagel, just a few minutes before the kitchen closed (i was starving😭) - the staff were so accommodating and kind! The bagel was delicious and the coffee was super!
The best cafe i’ve been to in Malahide.

CoffeeTasty foodTakeaway
Small takeaway coffee booth on Malahide's main street. Lovely people behind the counter and good coffee make for a winning formula. If you want to have a bit of a sit-down they have some tables outside on the pavement, too.
I don’t think there is sit in options like regular spoons and cups etc I think everything is take away but seats are outside and you can relax and take it easy watch the world go by. Coffee was good. Good salmon sandwich was also really tasty 😋 loads of coffee places all around so lots to see and do. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back here.
