"99 hot chocolates to get you through the colder mornings - more whipped cream you say?. A post shared by Coco Bó (@cocobodublin) on Oct 8, 2015 at 1:15am PDT"

"Price: €2.50Look: 4/5Texture: 3.5/5Taste: 5/5Value: 3.5/5Total: 16/20. Verdict: This French franchise sells what looks like a high-end croissant, almost too perfect and regular. The crust is extremely flaky and crispy, so much so that it makes it slightly tough to break down, but the flavours are fantastic - it’s a real moreish number."

"The ethos of Bite caf� is that of 'Uptown Food, Downtown Vibe' and it's basically recreating your average fish and chip shop into a more upmarket fish experience with some interesting reinventions along the way. Gone is the greasy batter in a brown bag, replaced with hake in a vodka and beer batter accompanied with mushy peas and pancetta fries. The usual pre-theatre menu has been replaced with a 'Pre-Gig Menu', seeking to resonate with the modern diner."

"Situated in the Dublin Docklands, Il Valentino is an innovative bakery that feels distinctly different. With a commitment to making the healthiest, most authentic baked goods possible, they use only Italian extra virgin olive oil and preservative-free flours to make their spelt, country malt-grain, stoneground loaves and other breads.

"Nunki Tea House opened at the start of the summer and it's the most darling spot for a cup of tea or bubble tea. Along with tea in precious Japanese porcelain cups, they serve delicious sweet treats including a classic bubble tea waterfall cake. It's a really cute spot, deffo worth a visit."

"If you find yourself hungry or thirsty in Dún Laoghaire, Nunki Teahouse is always a good call. For some serious refreshment, they have a range of cold fruit teas including pineapple, orange, watermelon, and a totally tropical mango cloud yogurt tea."

"A post shared by Bear Market Coffee, Dublin (@bearmrktcoffee). If a coffee shop is on the must-visit list for Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, as well as Harry and Meghan you know they are doing something right. Bear Market doesn’t just offer architecturally gorgeous spaces and a killer baked good selection, from their three locations (IFSC, Pembroke St.Lower and by the entrance of Blackrock’s famous market) you’ll get a royally good coffee every time."

"A new addition to the Bar Market Coffee chain of specialty cafes, this George’s Street branch is uber cool. With some delicious decor, smooth-angled coffee machines, hipster seats, and a ton of different brews, this is one of the best places to grab a coffee in the city. Card payments only so don’t think you can get rid of that spare change on a quick espresso."
