About Mad Yolks
Brunch lovers, meet your new obsession: Mad Yolks on Smithfield Square. This quirky cafe burst onto the scene with its egg-centric menu, drawing queues around the corner from the distillery. Run by passionate locals, it's all sunshine-yellow walls, hanging plants, and the sizzle of perfectly poached eggs greeting you at the door. Ideal after a morning Luas hop into Smithfield's creative quarter.
The stars? Eggs every way: shakshuka bubbling with chorizo and feta, avo toast loaded with chilli flakes, or the Mad Yolks Benny with homemade hollandaise. Sides of thick-cut bacon or black pudding nod to Irish breakfast traditions, while pancakes stack high with Nutella and bananas. Coffee's third-wave calibre from small Irish roasters, and smoothies pack superfoods. It's compact, so expect cosy elbow-rubbing with artists from nearby studios.
What to Expect
Weekend brunch rushes (queues move fast), all-day breakfast menu, budget prices (€10-€16), and a kid-friendly vibe with high chairs aplenty. Vegan and gluten-free tweaks available.
