The real star of the menu at Poolside Cafe is their exceptional coffee.

I come here lots for a chai latte. It’s definitely the best chai latte on campus and their mochas are also delicious. I love getting a sweet treat of a muffin during the day aswell. The staff are so efficient and you are never kept waiting. The pricing is also so good compared to anywhere else around everyone else should follow poolsides example.

The lads are always upbeat, friendly and helpful. They cope well when there is a rush, the service is always friendly from my 100s of visits. The food is better than what to be expected for a very good value place. Copious, endless amounts soya etc for coffees

The old reliable. Go here every day for either an iced americano or mocha (depending on the weather) and either a sausage roll or lemon muffin (depending on my mood). So fairly priced (which you don’t find often in dublin these days) and the staff are always so welcoming and helpful. I love it here.

Great toasted panini's at reasonable prices. Definitely recommend if you need a quick lunch on a budget. Gets a little hectic during lunch and there's no structure in terms of getting your food so you have to keep an ear out diligently. Coffee is decent although the cafe has very little to offer in terms of seating as it's just in the sports centre
