Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Dublin

"Brother Hubbard is a recent addition to trendy Capel Street and they're setting the bar high. Coffee and tea is sourced from two of the best Dublin suppliers, 3FE and Wall and Keogh and their homemade drinks including orange and lemon barley water and rose, raspberry and apple are refreshing and different. In recent months they have really stepped up their sweet treat offerings and there are now a range of baked goods from scones to friandes as well more dessert-style items."

"thefumbally.ie The magic in the Fumbally unfolded slowly when Aisling Rogerson and Luca D’Alfonso who had run the cafe in the nearby Dublin Food Co-op took over a corner building and started serving falafel. In better economic times the place would have been a convenience store. Good food times followed and Fumbally alumni have spread across the city, improving food in at least one college canteen and at market stalls, pop-ups and cafes."

"Regaling as a mix-match bourgeois café, the vibe here is very much welcoming and reinforcing a spirit of optimism in its own way. Right next to the cafe is the Fumbally Stables, where the team believes that expressions come to life- more like a space for workshops, classes and other performances. What started as a falafel corner with a passion for food, has become a serious food location."

"Choose from a variety of sweet and savoury brunch dishes at 3fe|Courtesy of 3fe. Often cited as the centre of Dublin’s flourishing coffee scene, 3fe is quickly becoming an institution for coffee lovers. It has a roastery in the city centre and supplies many establishments throughout Ireland with its quality coffee."

"The Temple Bar area is best known for its nightlight, but it can also be the perfect place to start the day if you happen to wander by The Queen of Tarts. The collection of muffins and cakes are some of the best sweet baked goods in the city, but you can also find healthier options like the strawberry or banana Irish porridge. The savory breakfasts, including smoked Irish salmon and scrambled eggs, are also delicious."

"If you’re someone with a sweet tooth, then you’re going to want to visit the Queen of Tarts bakery and café. You’ll be amazed at the sweet selection of breakfast and brunch items that are available to purchase. We are strong proponents of having cheesecake for breakfast — what could be more perfect than starting your day with a heavenly creamy slice of Bailey’s cheesecake?"

"They are currently only doing takeaway, however, Meet Me in the Morning is the kind of brunch spot that is unique and definitely worth a visit. Monday-Friday they’re open 8AM-4PM and on Saturdays and Sunday they open at the slightly later hour of 8:30AM until 4PM. The eggs and greens dish is a bit eccentric but delicious, with its dressing of garlic yoghurt, paprika oil and curly parsley."

"Take a left off Camden Street and you'll find a darling café with coffee lovers hanging out on the long bench outside of this popular foodie haven. Owned by friends and business partners, Kevin Powell and Brian O'Keefe, this café specialises in fresh, seasonal, Dublin-sourced food. All of their dishes are bursting with flavour and are super colourful."

"This cosy and comfortable spot located in Dublin’s bustling Temple Bar area is an absolute gem and is truly one of the best breakfast and brunch spots in Dublin. If you’re looking for somewhere to sit and people watch while you enjoy your meal and some deliciously mellow coffee, then this is the place we would recommend visiting. The homemade tarts in this place are really to die for—we suggest trying the spinach and feta tart, and you can thank us later!"

"Stepping into Foam Cafe is like stepping into another world, one full of flower garlands, mirrors and clashing prints over two floors. It's hidden away on Strand Street Great, just a stone's throw from the new Italian Quarter just off the quays. Setting itself apart from the usual coffee shop fare Foam Café has a broad range of things on offer but their flagship dish is the humble omelette."

"This is a local for me and place you may not encounter if you are visiting Dublin for abroad but we love it. Relaxed and laid back, they have a lovely weekend brunch catering for kids too. My two are obsessed with the blueberry pancakes and the ‘not so hot’ chocolate just for them but you have also savoury options available with brunch favourites such as scrambled eggs."

"For the lads, Indigo and Cloth is a fashionable boutique offering "a contemporary curation of international and local menswear, lifestyle and design products". They have a variety of designers in the store, including Oliver Spencer, Padmore & Barnes, and Vinnys. They also have a cafe located in the store."

"Hours: Mon­-Fri 8:00am-6:00pm, Sat-Sun 9:00am-6:00pmAddress: Two Fifty Square, Williams Park, Rathmines Rd Lower, Rathmines, Dublin, p.Phone: 00353 1 496 8336Website: www.twofiftysquare.ie. This casual and exciting neighborhood coffee shop and roastery are inside a former industrial building that was once was a large­ scale commercial bakery. It’s a big, airy space with tall ceilings, big communal tables, and a small, cozy garden."

"Tucked away off a high street in the suburb of Rathmines, this café is not necessarily the easiest to find. But those who go searching will be rewarded with some seriously good coffee that is roasted in-house. Along with your usual flat whites and cappuccinos, it also offers speciality beverages such as AeroPress and V60 filter coffee, Vietnamese iced coffee and affogato."

"Head out to the Dublin neighborhood of Rathmines for coffee that is roasted right on site. If you have the time, sit down for a V60 pour-over style coffee with the fruity Buena Vista from Columbia, or treat yourself to an affogato—espresso with a scoop of vanilla ice cream."

"The attention to quality – with their commitment to gluten free and vegan ingredients – makes this Kevin Street joint stand out from the crowd. Some of the finest donuts out there, no doubt."

"Mimicking American diners of the 1950s, Irish retro-restaurant chain Eddie Rocket’s does dessert better than any of its rivals. Their chocolate brownies and cookie sliders are widely celebrated, but their milkshakes and malts made with premium dairy ice cream could qualify as desserts in and of themselves – the imaginative menu blends heavenly flavours like Kinder Bueno, Oreo cookie and Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup."

"Sure it's a burger joint, but I think Eddie does a decent burger – and the milkshakes are the best in the land. Kids are king in this place, with colouring books, kids' menu and a gift on leaving. The menu is more of a treat, but the music and speed of service sometimes makes this the best choice."

"Located in the opulent surroundings of Dublin's Mansion House on Dawson Street, Fire has been built in what was originally the Lord Mayor's supper room and is now a magnificent space with stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings. The food is all locally sourced and cooked to a high standard with a good mix of meat, vegetarian options and seafood - the jumbo prawn starter is the house speciality. There is also a special steak menu with a variety of cuts of ages, marinated beef that are sure to make a meat-lover's mouth water."

"The Famine Sculpture are heart touching statues that depict a tough time faced by the people of Dublin. They say more about the famine years Ireland suffered through in the past. The haunting statues of desperate people is actually a pity to take a look at, however, a visit here is quite worth the while."

"Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian bridge of Dublin that spans the River Liffey joining Eustace Street in Temple Bar to the north quays. Built in 2000 as a dedication at the turn of the millennium, this bridge is has portal frame structure made up of a slender steel truss and resting on reinforced concrete haunches.
