Dublin’s Top 10 Cafes And Coffeehouses

Coffee ToGetHer

Operating on weekdays in one of Dublin’s most popular pubs, The Bernard Shaw, Coffee ToGetHer has a lot of character. Run by the friendliest of Italians, it not only has a Mediterranean vibe to it, but with its vibrant tablecloths, interesting art and above all its unusual location (an Italian cafe inside an Irish pub), Coffee To Get Her is something out of the ordinary. The Sicilian, Moak coffee is delicious but for something different try their specialty, a ‘Nuttellino’, consisting of a shot of espresso, inside a cup coated in Nutella, topped with a touch of milk.

Situated on the ground floor of the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin Castle, this Middle Eastern-influenced serves good tea and coffee, and even better cakes. In-keeping with the collections housed at the library’s museum, the cafe’s menu serves North African and Middle Eastern-style cuisine, with plenty of halal, coeliac and vegetarian-friendly options. Stroll through the grounds of Dublin Castle and make a stop along the Silk Road for an exotic tea and a treat before marveling at the collections held at one of the best museums in Europe.

Two Fifty Square is located just off the main street in Rathmines, this converted bakery has a secluded, yet inclusive feel to it. The owners roast their own beans on site and also have a great variety of loose-leaf teas.

Clement and Pekoe’s mission is to ensure that their guests feel the love in every cup, and they certainly live up to this.

With a very chic feel to its chandelier-laden interior complete with antique elements and a grand bar, Clement and Pekoe truly is a splendid place to escape from the busy city center and to sit back with a fine brew.

Roasted Brown‘s two baristas, Ferg and Rob, certainly know a thing or two when it comes to coffee and will always be at hand to help you choose that perfect cup. Streaming with natural light, thanks to the enormous window, this cafe is a great base to unwind on a comfy couch.
