Tea Time Express
Tea Time Express
In 1938 Tea Time Express bakery was established by the Arigho family in heart of James Joyce's Dublin at Ushers Quay. Initially the home baked cakes were delivered door-to-door throughout the city of Dublin using bicycles with sidecars.


Quality Handmade Confectionery
This familiar sight of delivery boys whizzing round the streets became affectionately known as the 'Tea Time Express'. Soon afterwards to meet rising demand the company opened it's famous shop at 51b Dawson Street.
In recent years, Tea Time Express has found a new home in the village of Chapelizod on the banks of the river Liffey not far from where it began over 70 years ago.

The founders were determined to produce the best Quality Handmade Confectionery in Ireland. This obsession with 'Quality' remains central by promoting innovation and excellence within the organisation.

Using the original recipes and adopting traditional baking methods, all our produce is TRULY HANDMADE.

Our mouth-watering range of cakes are available nationwide and more recently in the USA where our dedicated customer following continues to grow.

Today Tea Time Express is still perceived by most discerning consumers of cake confectionery as 'the premier brand'

As a company we are extremely proud of our Irish heritage and promote this fact whenever and where ever we can. We have always made it a priority to buy Irish and support local suppliers of raw material and packaging.

We are passionate about cake and truly dedicated to baking the most delicious tasting cakes for you to enjoy.

Multiple Gold & Silver Great Taste Awards for our fruit cake range.
