Ireland’s favourite cafe has been slammed for charging €16 for a hot chocolate and a bun.
Bewley’s on Grafton Street prides itself on its in-house hot chocolate, which is served with mini marshmallows, cream and orange chocolate shavings. And it is also proud of the thousands of delicious cakes, eclairs, sticky buns and other confectionery treats that they sell from their iconic store on Dublin’s main thoroughfare every day.
However, the prices they are charging for their products have been described as “completely extortionate” by People Before Profit TD, Paul Murphy. He added that it was “scandalous” to charge such prices.
