If you have a sweet tooth and are looking for your next fix then you need to try out Pops and Jules gourmet cookies. I was wandering through the flea market in the Grand Social on Saturday when I walked passed their stand and had to try them out. Well if I'm honest I walked past it twice until my will power crumbled and I ran back to buy a few.
Pops and Jules is a gourmet cookie company set up by two girls who are evidently true cookie monsters. Pops and Jules met in college and after graduation and a stint on Great Irish Bake Off, they decided to set up a cookie company with a twist. Their stall in Grand Social was a once off but they're usually found in the Blackrock Farmers Market, but you can keep up to date on their Facebook page to see where they're selling from next.
Their cookies were delicious and had an amazing range of flavours. I tried one of each (hey, it was research!). The ones I tried were the 'Father Jack' which was a mix of espresso, dark chocolate and walnut, 'Spread The Love' which was a flourless nutella cookie, 'The Ranelucky' which was a cranberry, coconut, pecan and chocolate cookie and 'The Pinkie Pie' which was a mix of raspberry, white chocolate and mint.
The cookies themselves are more chewy than crunchy but taste delicious. Apparently they also make a bacon cookie if you're a bit more adventurous. My favourites were definitely the Father Jack and the Spread the Love cookies, but I am a bit of a chocoholic. You can buy them individually for by the bag and I reckon it's only a matter of time before the likes of Fallon and Byrne, Wilde & Greene and the likes start stocking them. If you're over the cupcakes and the macaroons and are looking for your next sugary fix then definitely try these out.
The sun was shining, the ribbon was cut, and the tarmac was freshly poured – all was ready to go when I queued up among plenty of eager visitors to be one of the first to try out Emerald Park’s two new roller coasters, Na Fianna Force and The Quest. The two rides are part […]
The problematic portal opened back up on North Earl this week, and although we’re glad to see at least one Dublin project come to fruition (unlike the ones below), it seems everyone is still scratching their heads trying to figure out why exactly we need it. Whether you’re a lover or a hater of the infamous […]

Newly opened up the top of Ranelagh, this high-end bakery is a great addition to Dublin’s blooming bakery scene. Operating on a refreshing level of production and efficiency, we have no doubt that it will set the tone and up the stakes for others. Get prepared to get there early cos they sell out lippy-split […]

Scéal have really come into their stride in their first permanent home. If you’ve been here a while, you know the Lovin team’s borderline obsession with a certain bakery, one you used to only be able to find on a Thursday or Saturday morning at the Fumbally stables, between 10am and 1pm (although they rarely […]
We found ourselves standing in a queue at 11am on a Wednesday morning, so we knew the hype was real. Dublin loves a trend, as we know. Burritos, doughnuts, chicken wangs, small plates – we’re always ready to hop on the hot sauce laden bandwagon, whether it’s for burgers, or dumplings, froyo, or pastel de […]
The definition of a “feel-good” watch. Somewhere Out There You by playwright and screenwriter Nancy Harris premiered as part of Dublin Theatre Festival and is on a 6 week run at the Abbey – I was lucky enough to catch it on Monday evening, and unlike most of the plays that I have had the […]
