True. The best cheese and other sandwiches and more with real empathy, community, people and sense of place and time – can I get a shoutout for one of Dublin’s finest cafés – Simon’s Place?
Come on – it’s a seventies thing, we’re safe from Millennial Hipsterdom.
By the way, the original was spelt Marks’ Bros and not Marx Bros. But if you were there (I was), you’d know that.
FIGHT!

Best sandwich in town. Chicken Salad on fresh bread – simple, like it should be.
was it Marx Bros. he had before? Where Globe is now?
Only real Dubliners can open the clingfilm on the sambos there.
oh look words written down as well…
Mark’s Bros was in two locations before this.
That’s where I like to drop into for a bite when I’m up in that corner of the capital. Lovely place.
Thanks for the warning.
bee-atch
b-atch makes the best sangers for sure
I hope you heed it well.
Ah, the memories. Remember the original Marks Brothers back in the ’80s. Used to go in there every week (after signing on in Werbaugh St) for a coffee and cinnamon bun….which Simon’s Place still provides.
I love that place. Reminds me of age 16 when we’d go in, circa the year 2000, in all our black clothes and eyeliner, drink mochas & espressos, devour their gorgeous sandwiches. One of those places I really still miss not being able to smoke in.
Ha, yeah it totally takes me back to my teens/early twenties too. Love the place, nice and chilled, don’t drop in there as much anymore- great spot for a coffee & a read- not on your phone
the cinnamon buns there are gorgeous.
If it’s €3 for a coffee I’m not interested.
Commas are free.
Always thought that Simon’s Place was overrated. Honest To Goodness a much better option.
Don’t agree with Ultan Mashup’s comment re “we’re safe from Millennial Hipsterdom”. Anytime I was there, the place had a fair selection of neckbeards, snide indie heads and disagreeable manginas.
No offence.
I agree, definitely not hipster free zone in there. I do like the sambos though.
Well, if there weren’t any of the gentrification gang in there, there will be now. Thanks.
I’d say Una Mullally and Co are on the way over right now.
A was a regular back in ’05 when I worked in the city. Great sambos. Like a good city coffee shop should, it had a feeling of calm
also, simon’s has a deadly flyer and poster wall.
