Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Skerries

"It’s hard to open twitter or facebook and not see something about Brother Hubbard. Can this place do no wrong?. Well yes, the addition to the original cafe in the form of a prefab-school canteen-Ikea showroom next door isn’t much to sing about."

"Hours: Tue-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm, Sat 10:00am-5:00pm, Wednesday Dinners 7:00pm ­ 9:30pmAddress: The Fumbally, Fumbally Lane, Dublin 8, p. 00353 1 529 8732Website: http://thefumbally.ie/. The Fumbally was launched in 2012 by two creative, curious, and passionate entrepreneurs after many years of traveling and exploring. This lovely community coffee shop is located in the vibrant and popular Dublin 8 neighborhood, the area where the Dublin Flea Market takes place on the last Sunday of every month."

"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."

"Colin Harmon is one of Dublin coffee’s most esteemed and irreverent ambassadors. Opening the original 3fe (Third Floor Espresso) in the lobby of the Twisted Pepper nightclub in 2009 and developing his now eponymous coffee brand thereafter, 3fe’s stand alone Grand Canal shop is now as much a pillar of the citywide coffee landscape as a neighbourhood essential. From their Sussex Terrace roastery they now supply a network of coffee-focussed destinations across Ireland, and serve takeaway coffees."

"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."

"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?"

"Fluffy buttermilk pancakes with a seasonal fruit compote and lashings of maple syrup – these pancakes seriously hit the spot. Just be warned - you'll be rolled out of the place!"

"Drenched in light thanks to a large window up front, this dreamy breakfast spot feels like an old friend's ultra-trendy, yet comfortable, new flat. You'll find oat milk—so hot in U.S. coffee shops right now—on the menu here, plus apple juice sourced from North Dublin, teas, and hot chocolate. The menu, which features items made with local ingredients, is always changing; don't miss the specialty pastries—like doughnuts filled with seasonal fruits or foraged ingredients—or the particularly artistic brunch dishes."

"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."

"Set in the beautiful St Anne's Park in Clontarf, the Red Stables Food Market is ideal for a romantic stroll, a day out with the family, or just a browse with your mates. It runs every Saturday from 10am to 5pm (10am to 4 pm in winter) and is set against a Victorian two-storey building which features design studios, artist workspaces, a commercial gallery, café and courtyard area where the market takes place."

"The name might be a dead giveaway, but this is the place to come to in Dublin for your daily bread. The loaves and rolls are just the beginning of the carb heaven that can be found each morning at Bread 41. Order a buttery almond croissant, or indulge in the homemade sausage roll with the perfect flaky pastry."

"Bread 41’s ethos is to make pure, real bread without resorting to processing aids or artificial additives. In pursuit of their vision, they mill all of the grains for their bread on-site at their city centre bakery. In addition, the bakery uses its own unique sourdough culture in each loaf."

"This Pearse Street café has its own on-site mill so you know it's gonna be good. They make some of the tastiest bread I've had in the city. The bakery is also a café that serves up breakfast and lunch, as well as selling bread and pastries to go."

"The wonderful Butlers Chocolate also have a fantastic Chocolate Experience: another hands-on tour and workshop, where kids get to see the factory but also make and design their own chocolate creations."

"You’ve had your eggs and avo, and now you want a new thrill. Welcome, Le Drunch – the new half dinner/half lunch meal from The Marker Hotel. Cherrypicking from the best bits of their breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, you can browse their extensive list of yummy delights including comfort food classics, healthy ‘equilibrium’ options and finger food sides."

"This started off as a small stand in George's Street arcade, but their shop on Merrion Row is where the main action is at these days. They do a great cupcake and some delicious smaller cakes, which go perfectly with their gorgeous coffees."

"With 92 newly refurbished bedrooms combined with exceptional service, Maldron Hotel Smithfield has everything you need for a perfect hotel break in Dublin. With an abundance of things to see and do right on our doorstep and the LUAS just a 2 minute walk away, it is the perfect base to stay and explore this wonderful city.Maldron Hotel Smithfield is located in Smithfield Square just 15 minutes' walk from O'Connell Street. The hotel is just 2 minutes' walk from the LUAS stop, meaning you are just a short LUAS (tram) ride from all areas of the city."

"Producing the very best lager in the world, it’s no surprise you can’t get moved here on a weekend. Welcoming stag and hen parties with open arms, the award winning Porterhouse Central is a multi-level gem in the Temple Bar. Opening its doors in 1996, this is Dublin’s first pub brewery, and has continued to grow in popularity since the very day it opened."

"Porterhouse Central on Nassau Street is the 2nd Porterhouse location in Dublin. Thanks to being off Grafton Street just a little bit further from the heart of the nightlife action, it was much more chill than other pubs were on the same night I visited. I had the Celebration Stout, which had been created for the brewery’s 20th anniversary."

"One of my all time favourite memories as a child was visiting the Gaiety Theatre with my grandmother. She use to take us once a year and I absolutely loved it. Things haven’t changed too much at The Gaiety but it remains a prominent influence on Irish arts and theatre."

"Again, you will have done your homework and booked something in advance, we hope (though there always is a chance to get late tickets even for the Abbey Theatre, with a bit of luck). If you are set on enjoying an Irish night out, a large number of pubs offer their services and many also provide entertainment (free or for a small fee in most cases). Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."

It is the city’s biggest fixed-seat theater and was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind for the Dublin Docklands Development Authority."

"Designed by Studio Libeskind in 2010, the Grand Canal Square formed an important milestone for the redevelopment of the Dublin Docklands area. The 2000-seat theater is based on the concept of stages: the stage of the theater, the stage of the piazza, the stage of the multiple lever lobby above the piazza."

"Emma Devlin and Cathal O’Donoghue founded Rascals Brewing in 2014. It’s a bit of a journey out past Kilmainham Gaol, but Rascals Brewing Company is one of the most innovative breweries in Dublin. Going beyond the standard styles found at every other brewery, Rascals has unique beers such as Chardonnay Saisons, Mint Chocolate Stouts, & Strawberry Vanilla Milkshake IPAs."

"Location was key to Devlin and her husband when founding Rascals. “We always dreamed of having a city-accessible brewery that people could visit, and where we could offers tours. We have renovated the building, totally transforming it so it’s suitable for a brewery and restaurant,” Devlin says."
