Pods Pizza

Nice and helpful staff. Excellent food, especially eggs benedict are deadly. Definitely will come back there.
Coffe served in mugs that simply can make your day:)

Such good food every time! Great choice on the menu. Love the falafel wrap and the superfood salad. The restaurant setting is lovely and staff are friendly

Gorgeous restaurant that also caters for gluten free . This little gem of a place was recommended to me by the beautician next door Brown Cow and OMG !!! I went for brunch and the hype about their Eggs Benedict did not disappoint. There was a long que out the door as it was lunchtime on a Saturday and the staff were quick to welcome everyone and hand out menus while waiting to be seated. Highly recommend and will defiantly be back!!!

Went here for Sunday brunch with my folks. The place was rammed. Perhaps too many kids if there was booze the night before! Aside from that, the food was great. It's a perfect place to go with the oldies as the menu is a mix of the usual stuff like a fry but there's also salads, pancakes etc. Staff were all very friendly. Only gripe was the coffee wasn't great. Wouldn't stop me returning. The cakes look insanely good.

A quirky little eatery, hidden amongst a busy retail park in Carrickmines. It's quite the norm for a queue to form outside the door for this place at lunchtime every day, but you're never waiting long. You can choose from the Vanilla Pod Eatery or the Vanilla Pod Kitchen, two different locations in one, each serving the other but both have different atmosphere's.
Vanilla Pod Kitchen has a continental feel, full view of the chef and his woodfired oven making the most delicious pizza's with every topping imaginable, everything is so fresh and tasty. Two of my recommended dishes are the Meatball sandwich, small little meatballs, bathed in marinara sauce and tucked up inside a ciabatta roll, absolutely divine and you don't need anything else with it, it'll definitely satiffy your hunger. The other dish, being the Minestrone soup, the only downside is that it sometimes lacks flavouring and I've never had any pasta or even orzo in mine but it's hearty and warming on a winters day and comes with delcious spelt bread.

The Eatery is where all the action is, the rumble of the barista machine, the bustle of the staff, the kitchen shouting for service....and the faces of people enjoying exceptionally gorgeous food! You can get pretty much every requirement seen to, here, be it vegetarian, paleo, vegan or even gluten free! Each day at 9, they open to delicious bruch, Egg's Benedict, Fluffy Pancakes and bacon, granola, fresh veg juices, they have it all! If you're much more of a brunch person, not to worry, there's a whole host of gorgeousness from superfood salads to burgers to their daily sandwich and fries special which is definitely recommended! My  top recommendation is the Pod's Chicken salad, a healthy chicken salad with green beans, buffalo mozzarella, toasted pumpkin seeds, lemon oil...it's unbeatable! Everything is freshly made, even the ham sandwiches have fresh carved roast ham, same with the poultry.. top notch! Be sure to check out their baked goods display too, everything is made on site from pastries to home made bounty bars and teacakes-even French Macarons!

I highly recommend this Vanilla Pod Eatery, child friendly (from what I've seen), value for money, super friendly staff.

I've always had take away's at Vanilla Pod too on my lunch break, hence lots of my photo's are in take away containers :)

Breakfast,Lunch or Brunch- whatever your having here the food is so tasty. The eggs benedict and the French toast with maple syrup and bacon are amazing. Pulled pork sandwich on honey and spelt bread is to die for! There are a number of choices on the menu and plenty of tasty treats for desserts.The service is friendly and relatively quick. Always busy, so you may have to wait a few mins before being seated.
