If you’ve ever had a corporate job and had a hangover on a weekday morning – you know that proper sausage rolls are the actual cure.
Sausage rolls are the grab-and-go breakfast of champions. Today’s offerings are far from the mini sausage rolls of our childhoods. These bad boys have gone glam. Small, batched, artisanal, and scrumptious. So it’s no wonder you can now get more than 20 different kinds of sausage rolls in Dublin.
Dublin City Centre has become a clandestine battleground for the best sausage rolls in maybe the world, so today, we present to you the top 5 sausage rolls that are redefining the genre.
At number five, we have Copper & Straw – a haven on Aston Quay that marries gorgeous coffee with the gastronomic gold of a superb sausage roll. Copper & Straw takes the art of meat and pastry to a new level. Each bite of their revolving door of flavours challenges the conventional notion of what a sausage roll should be. If you’ve never tried it, then this is your cue to indulge in one of their masterpieces.
Joli, our fourth contender, is the eccentric soul of Dublin’s sausage roll renaissance. The amalgamation of quirky ambience and high-quality ingredients makes Joli a must-visit for any discerning sausage roll enthusiast. They make some of the best veggie sausage rolls in the city, too. Prepare to be transported into a world where each roll is a work of art, and breakfast becomes a celebration of unapologetic individuality.
Ernesto’s is a very special place—more than just a café, it’s a true community hub. Located in Rathmines, it’s a little out of the way from the city centre but still easily accessible and well worth a visit. In fact, it’s worth going out of your way for too. The owner, Johnathon, is an absolute gent, and you’ll always receive top-notch service here. Everything on the menu, from the sweet treats to the massive sambos, is worth a try, but the sausage roll made with Clonakilty Black Pudding is an absolute must.
Bread 41, our second-place contender, is not just a reliable spot for your Saturday morning pick-me-ups; it’s home to a sausage roll that invariably sells the fugg out. If it wasn’t so tricky to get your hands on this bad boy, it probably would have taken the top spot. This establishment has dared to craft a sausage roll that would make even the most fervent anti-porker question their choices. And don’t stop at one – pair it with a sweet pastry for the ultimate brunch-dessert experience. Bread 41 is a manifestation of joy in treat form.
