It's rare to find such a spacious coffee shop in the city, not many people seem to know about it either, which is always nice. It's housed within an impressive historical building. Excellent menu and coffee choice. Plenty of seating available. Popular lunch spot. Usually it's a good spot to relax until yesterday when I attracted the noise parade. Don't you hate it when people think that everyone should hear how exciting their lives are? To the left of me was some obnoxious business man, 'I wipe my ass with €100, I am that rich and important.' To some wannabe starlet chatting to some RTE producers, 'I'm like, you know like really best friends with Ryan Tuburity, I like slept with him too. So do I get to audition?' It was really awful and the rest of the fellow suffering diners looked at each other with pained eyes, we bonded. I am sure that incident was a freak occurrence, and it should not deter you from trying their excellent coffee. read more

I was quite surprised by how much I liked this place. It's quite unassuming from the outside. A bit dark even. However, when I went in, I was pleasantly surprised; a mix of comfy sofas, window seating and tables and chairs. I had a look at the sandwiches, and they looked amazing and fresh. And what a variety. However, I opted for one of the lunch specials; quiche with salad for €8.35. Not a bad deal. A huge slice of chicken and brie quiche (with broccoli and cauliflower and onion) and a generous side salad, though with way too many slices of black olives. I am not a fan of those. At all. Still, great little place to meet up for lunch! read more

Caffe Noto - Quiche and salad special 8.35! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

Great big windows for people watching they come from all angles and guaranteed at least one character to pass you by. Loads of seating with a big couch area up front which will hold about 6 and bar that runs about 10 meters on the other side. Right down the back you'll find benches,tables and chairs, with the benches being the more comfortable. Coffee has depth and the sweet savory selection of food will not let you down. I'll just say one thing about the food, the toastys!! One of the only places in Dublin that will present your dish by hand with actual melted cheese inside!!! This in itself would be a reason to try them out!! read more

Caffe Noto - View from the bar, half way down - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

Inside this majestic building on the corner of Francis and Thomas street, is a fine café. Noto offers the typical coffeehouse-menu but also pre-packed sandwiches, couscous or pasta-salads to grab. If you're not in a hurry, this is a place where you have to enjoy your coffee and panini while sitting in to really appreciate the place. I won't say that you'll get the best coffee and sambos in town, but the high ceiling and large windows with curved lines (great for people-watching) make Noto a comfy spot to relax for an afternoon. If you have to get work done, bring your laptop. The staff doesn't mind if you sit around for a while, as long as you don't bother them too much. read more

Coffee is decent - dude at the counter was pretty rude and dismissive. He acted indignant when I asked for a sleeve because the coffee cup was too hot. And then after I went to sit down he started acting friendly with his coworker. They're American so I guess hipster douchiness has officially crossed the Atlantic. read more

Service is extremely slow even when the place is empty- They often server people that ordered after me before me. I was served a latte that was just all foam and no coffee. Staff are very blaze and quite rude- A group of friends and myself went there for tea one time and I was kicked out for eating a sandwich I brought with me because it was "a health and safety hazard" The location is nice but it's not worth the rude staff, extremely slow service, and unpredictable coffee standard. Every time I leave this cafe I leave in a bad mood. I highly wouldn't recommend it. read more

This place is beautiful. The food is delicious and the coffees are usually made to perfection. The staff are friendly and it's great for a group lunch, with large tables at the front of the café. It's a little pricey, but you can get a rewards card, making your 7th coffee free! Worth a visit if you're on Thomas Street. read more

Great place to stop in for a coffee and a sandwich. We stopped in today for a cappuccino sprinkled with a dusting of chocolate...yum! Very pleasant friendly staff works here. read more

Caffe Noto would not find itself out of place in New York. It is an ultra-cool, high ceilinged cafe on Thomas Street, with exposed brickwork walls, a painted concrete floor, bare mahogany and duck-egg blue painted furniture, and plenty of chrome and glass around the service counter. The clientele are an eclectic bunch, where foreign students sit alongside the roly-smoking, beret touting artists of the area. The glass display cabinet houses delectable brownies, individual crumbles, cookies and caramel slices. The sandwiches are what some would call gourmet - parma ham panini with rocket and thick slices of buffalo mozzerella, mmmm... There's a small selection of salads to eat in or take-away, the best of which is the broccoli, feta and hazelnut, priced at a reasonable €5.50. read more

First of all, all the staff here are super friendly. I go here regularly when I'm in D8 and they always smile and remember me. I had an awful day a while ago where I woke up hungover in a strangers house with no wallet, no money and a dead phone. I came into Noto and obviously looked forlorn enough for them to set me up with a Sunday Paper, empathetic cup of tea and let me charge my phone before I rang Pearse St Garda stationabout the wallet. (I got it back!!) It's customer service that is so lovely I actually thought I'd cry a little bit. They have some truly delish sandwiches which I assume are made offsite. My fave is Holy Guacamole, a lovely combination of swiss cheese, fresh guac and salad in either wholemeal bread or tomato bread. It's tasty and tangy and goes down well with one of their cappuccinos. In Summer they have probably the best iced coffees you'll get outside of starbucks, and their loyalty card system for coffee is your-6th-one-free which is sound beyond believe for a city centre location. Like all cafes in Dublin the best seats are the couches, but Noto has the advantage of having seating outside which provides are great vantage point for people watching. i.e. "look at all those bumbags going to the Guinness Factory!" ; - ) Cafe Noto also has a student discount of 15% I think, which is really great. Definitely one of my favourite places to bring a laptop and work. I only wish they were open later than 6pm. read more

I went to Noto cafe to get some paper work done, and the place was perfect for it. Its bigger than you would think it is and has many seats in the middle and facing the big glass windows and they have free wifi. I had espresso macchiato and cuscus salad. I didnt like my salad but the coffee was good, I would rate it 6/10. The service was good, staff were friendly and the place is nice, it has this french touch with all the frames and paintings hanged on the walls, wooden tables and chairs. Plus, good music. read more

Need to change the menus here, in terms of offering and display. Went in for breakfast, they offered us sandwiches, which we decided to take. The female server wasn't helpful and kind of grumpy. There was no large menu to read behind the counter, the offering was very limited. We were asked to pay first, I handed them my card, they said they only took cash. I said to cancel the order and left. Was a good reason to leave, I know there's an ATM across the road, but in 2014 that's a joke. Get a card machine, get more lights, put up a proper menu, make nicer food. read more

Not a bad place to stop for a coffee , good wifi which is usually hit and miss in a lot of coffee shops in the city.

My no.1 breakfast cafe in the area. Amazing friendly staffs and relax settings and quiet enough to have some reading. read more

Nice place to Grab a coffee, got a brownie but it was very dry. Staff could be a bit more friendly with customers

Though relatively affordable, the coffee is watered-down and some of the worst I've had in Dublin apart from franchise cafes. Worse, the staff are pushy and rude when questioned. When I accidentally collected the wrong drink at the counter, the staff became verbally aggressive. To top it all off, the drink I received was poor and I will not be returning. In my experience, coffee shops should be relaxing, not a place to feel unwelcome and burdensome. There are far better options in town. read more

Nice spacious premises and a fair selection of food, and usually somewhere to find a comfortable seat except at lunch hour. There is free WiFi's but the connectivity performance is poor, so be warned. Staff are somewhat surly IMO. CRM is not a strong point. Far more welcoming places around town and better value too. read more

A straight up, good coffee shop. They pull a fine double espresso and they have a rather large seating area for you to relax in. Large windows, high ceilings and free wifi along with a breakfast special. 3.50 for a scone and a doppio. Sign me up. read more

I really, really like this cafe. It's big, spacious, airy and very trendy in its décor. The coffee is amazing (a large americano comes in a massive cup!), as is the service. All the people working here look like they actually enjoy the job and aren't just making lattes etc 'cause they can't find anything else to do that will pay the way. They are all super cool too. The food is very good. I worked nearby here for a while and was obsessed with this chickpea salad you could get pre-made in the chilled cabinet. I was practically eating it every day. Thinking about it now I want to go back for more! read more

Ok but not great. There's a selection of pastries and sandwiches - I went for the tomato mozzarella panini as one of the veggie options but it would be more accurately named tomato melted plastic. The cakes look good though and there's a good choice of coffees and loose leaf tea. read more

Came in here to kill some time and had a cappuccino and spicy chicken ciabatta panini. Both were delicious in my opinion. Staff were incredibly nice, and there's free wifi. Take it for what it is: a great place to stop for a quick bite. read more

The beautiful people have found a home and it's behind the counter of Caffe Noto. The modelesque staff mightn't be the quickest at getting your coffee - queues build up fast in the mornings and lunchtimes - but you just can't stay mad at them, they're too pretty. Noto's pre-packed sandwiches and salads are fine if a little pricey and the coffee is quite good - any Aussies missing home can treat themselves to a Flat White. read more

We ordered caffe mocha and iced americano. This place is very spacious and quick with the orders. However they could work on cleaning up the bathroom little bit and restoring the displayed food :) read more

Say no to Caffe Noto. Nice ambiance let down by very unfriendly and IMO rude staff. After ordering and paying for food the only acknowledgement we received was "Your coffee will be at the end". The waitress could not even manage a smile when she brought the food down to us. When leaving I made a point of saying thank you which was met by a raised eyebrow. Smiling and conversing with the customers must be so unfashionable these days. read more

I've visited this cafe a number of times, on my lunch breaks in work and as a local, and I've decided I won't be going again. The staff look bored, don't smile and don't engage with their customers. If you order a coffee, they make it and just leave it on the counter and if you're lucky to hear them say which coffee is yours you have to go up and figure out which one it is. Sometimes they shout it out loudly but in a pissed off manner. The food is basic and boring. For such a nice building the staff let this place down. read more
