Time OutStoneybatter guide

Calls it the area’s hottest brunch table.

The old post office, now a café

Social Fabric took over Stoneybatter’s old post office and turned it into a bright, easy-going room: cushions on the benches, art on the walls, and the big patchwork that gives the café its spirit.

It’s a small, family-owned café. The chefs cook everything from scratch with Irish milk, butter and vegetables wherever they can, and the coffee is Cloud Picker. Google lists it as women-owned and LGBTQ+ friendly.
