Beautiful place and great coffee! It's right in the heart of the city, next to the Liffey and a metro stop. The entrance is a bit hidden, but it has a lovely grey entrance with their big 9 written on the windows. I found out about this place through the book Ireland Independent Coffee Guide as well as on the business card of their sister shop, Dublin Barista School on Anne Street.
I stopped by here today to grab a cup, and it was a great cup of coffee. The baristas were very friendly, and you can tell they are very skilled in their craft. I got the flat white, and they poured a beautiful swan on top :)
From Monday to Fridays from 2-3, all their house coffees are only 2 euros! They also have a student discount for 2.30 euros and sell various pastries too.
The interior is a bit rustic looking, with signed tile walls, old lamps, peeled wallpaper and various big square tables to chat or do work. The place has black and white squared floors, mysterious black curtains in the back, and even an old espresso machine as part of their decor. I would definitely come back to sit and enjoy an afternoon here. It's definitely a bit more quirky than your usual aesthetic coffee shop, but it's worth stopping by. read more
