Popped into Bewleys cafe the weekend with some friends. Hadn’t been in there for ages. We had a cuppa each & shared a scone and a slice of cake (and it was a tiny slice) the bill came to €27.80.

Nearly €30 for some tea, a scone and a slice of cake. This is just madness. Look, I know it’s a fancier place than most so it was never going to be “cheap” but jesus this is taking the piss surely?

  1. They charged you €5.20 for 1 scone?! My God, you lot are getting absolutely fleeced down in the Republic 😭

  3. €4.50 for a teabag and some hot water. Lol

    Obviously there’s other factors to include when pricing things, so I’m presuming the waiter offered a massage with the tea and the walls were painted in gold.

  8. Tart of the day would have to be called Samantha before I’d pay that price!

  9. Suddenly my colleges €2.50 lukewarm tea seems like a deal…

  11. Tea = €1.00

    + “Breakfast” = €1.00

    + “Irish” = €2.50

    “Irish Breakfast Tea” = €4.50

  12. Never darken their door again. I certainly won’t.

    Have a real issue with places charging 3.50 – 4.50 for one herbal/green teabag and some hot water. You don’t even use milk/sugar with it. Ridiculous.

  13. Rip off Ireland is back in full swing… place is gone to the dogs

  15. That place should have a sign on entrance like “For best results, please eat and drink before entering to avoid bankruptcy!” 🤣 But here in Ireland eating outside with these prices it became a lifetime financial commitment.

  17. I got 3 coffees and 3 cakes in Cork recently for €37

    Was the last time I went there obviously

  18. An apple pie for €8.50?? Was it laced with gold

  19. A splash of Oat Milk: 60c

    1 litre of Tesco brand oat milk (which they obviously use…): €1.55

    How many splashes in a litre?

  23. Irish breakfast tea with oat milk extra, 5.10, I think I may die…

  24. I mean, vote with your money….look at the cost and move on if it’s too much…it’s the only way we have to keep costs sensible. If it’s a special occasion it’s hard to do, but for day to day just take a look and move on.

  26. As expensive as it was, you could still afford to pay for it. So why would they alter their prices.

  27. Its silly blaming restaurants. They’ll only just close down like the thousands before them.

  29. €9 for two cups of tea is daylight robbery. This is why I never eat out anywhere, fucking hell.

  30. We need a reset. Scones for over a fiver. Prices so high because sales are bad but sales are bad because price is high.

  31. What is an apple pie Victoria? I know apple pie and I know a Victoria sandwich. Is it a hybrid?

  32. Watch yer man off with his apple pie and buttermilk scones… Someone’s doin alright for themselves

  33. Nearly a fiver for a cuppa is taking the fucking piss. Cunts

  35. Bewleys has been renowned for being extortionately expensive for the last 20 years, I get it’s an expensive place to rent, but they’re taking the piss. Especially when you consider there was a “movement” to stop it closing.

  37. Who the fuck is paying 4.50 for a cuppa tea. Ye need your head looked at
