Protein pancakes and good coffee are on the move, and that is the kind of food Ireland update Dublin café fans will gladly make room for. Póg, the much-loved Dublin brunch spot known for its colourful stacks, is opening its first southside location in Terenure this summer.
For anyone who has crossed the city for a plate of pancakes at Bachelor’s Walk or stopped into Tara Street, Clontarf, Howth or Malahide, this feels like a long-awaited step. The new café will be Póg’s seventh site, and from the first look shared online, it already has that soft pink, neighbourhood-corner charm that suits Terenure nicely.
Póg brings a fresh Dublin food buzz to Terenure
The new unit is currently being renovated, with the opening expected in around six weeks. Early visuals show outdoor seating too, which should be a welcome bonus on bright summer mornings when the coffee is hot and the pavements are busy.
Póg has built a loyal following by keeping things upbeat and accessible. It is best known for:
- protein pancakes with generous toppings
- brunch dishes that feel filling without being fussy
- grab-and-go options for busy mornings
- a bright, social café atmosphere
That balance has helped it stand out in the Ireland food scene, especially among readers looking for reliable Dublin restaurants for breakfast, brunch and casual meet-ups.
Why this opening matters
Terenure already has a strong local following for cafés and easy-going dining, so Póg’s arrival should slot neatly into the area’s daily rhythm. It also follows the brand’s recent launch of “The Bubble” in Sutton, a hatch-style concept created for quick coastal pit stops.
For anyone updating their Dublin food guide, this is one to keep an eye on. Southside brunch plans just got a little easier, and if the queues on opening week are anything to go by, locals have been waiting for this one.
