Three lovely baristas took my order and while I was disappointed that there wasn't a toastie or other hot breakfast available, I made do with a massive pain au chocolat. The flat white that was made to order was perfection. Rich, creamy and enough caffeine to get me to my AirBNB after a Transatlantic red-eye. And delicious. I sat with my breakfast looking out the shop's front window for a bit, watching the pedestrians and buses go by before heading to the train station.

Best flat white in Dublin city centre, hands down. I stopped into Shoe Lane Coffee on Tara Street…read moreand the coffee was seriously good smooth, strong, and properly balanced. You can tell they actually care about the beans and calibration, not just blasting out caffeine to half-awake commuters. The atmosphere is what makes the place though. Busy in a good way, great music, warm lighting, and the staff somehow stay friendly even during the morning rush. Had a brownie with the coffee and it was unreal.

Very kid baristas and cute interior. I will say, it can get quite busy, but the line moved pretty fast.

Dublin, Ireland, one of my favorite cities in the world. Dublin has a coffee culture all its own. A…read morelot of small coffee shops with outstanding Barista's. They prepare and serve up coffee as a city better than any other city in the world. Sorry Seattle, Portland, its the truth. As a full fledge coffee nerd/snob I am looking for great coffee nothing more. Also if they don't roast their own beans and they are just serving someone else's coffee they will never get above a 3 star from me. I am looking strictly at the coffee and the customer service in my reviews. Accents was fantastic. When I walked in the Barista, a pretty little red headed Irish woman was doing some spectacular latte art on a Mocha, she smiled and asked me what I would like. I order just a regular Latte. They do not roast their own beans, but she was out of coffee in the grinder, she reached for a new sealed bag and I caught the name, McCabe's. I was unfamiliar so afterward I looked them up. here is the link if anyone is interested. (https://mccabecoffee.com) Local award winning Cork roaster. I watched the Barista, fill the grinder and then told me it would be a minute as she needed to dial in the espresso. I shook my head in a circle like I didn't get it but okay. She had it dialed in after 3 shots. looked like 18 in and 36 out. She was a pro, steamed my milk while the shot pulled in about 24 seconds. I ordered my drink to go but it was still presented with great art and a smile. Told me where the sugar and lids were but suggested I tried it before i added anything, that the espresso is very good. I tasted it and said, "You are right, needs nothing" and it didn't. BEST LATTE I HAVE HAD THIS TRIP TO DUBLIN. I am breaking my own rule here, I can because they are my rules, they don't roast but they use fantastic local Micro-roasted beans and prepare my drink to perfection. Don't miss this little gem the in Dublin. 5 Stars.

The place was very cute and little, there was a nice amount of seating but nothing to hold swarms of people. It was nicely lit and there was a ton of natural light that was able to be let in from the windows. I ordered a small latte and a plain croissant. The total was about nine euros and well worth it! The only worker was flying through orders and had my order complete by the time I finished tapping my phone to pay for my items! The latte was perfectly smooth and was the perfect temperature. I was given sugar but didn't need any because the flavor of the coffee was a perfect robust flavor. The croissant was flakey and so soft. The butter I was given with it was perfect and had a nice creamy flavor because it was made locally! Overall an amazing little cafe that I will stop by again if I am ever in the center of Dublin and need a quick pick-me-up from a friendly barista!

They only do one kind of milk (1%) and for a non-milk drinker like me that really overpowered the coffee taste. The milky mixture was poured over a couple of ice cubes and that was my Iced Latte. Okay, I took a risk, lesson learnt. Meh!

The staff were very helpful and accommodating in their suggestions. The prices are fairly reasonable. The entire place is small but they try to pack in the seating as much as possible. It seems like a nice place to work if you can get a seat. It's especially nice for working, journaling, or just sitting and thinking as the entire aesthetics of the place is that of a darkly lit and warmly inviting cafe. Overall, it's a great place for a quick stop or a long working afternoon. Enjoy.
