While visiting Ireland, I made it point to hit as many coffee shops as possible and The Coffee Shot…read morewas added to my list on a stay in nearby Stillorgan. The Coffee Shot is a small place with big energy and a healthy variety of options that go beyond coffee, but the coffee was what I was after! One thing I appreciated about this spot was their iced offerings. Most shops I went to in Ireland were too big on iced options on the menu, so when I walked in and saw the board with big letters spelling "iced", I knew I had arrived! I went with an iced caramel latte and it was delicious! Normally caramel can be a bit synthetic tasting, but here, they did it just right. In addition to the coffee, we got a cinnamon roll to share. Perfect combination! Overall, glad we went out of our way to swing by The Coffee Spot!

The staff were beyond friendly, like old mates not seen in a long time. The location makes it the only decent place to eat for a radius of 3 miles. Hop off the luas at Stilorgan, if you're working around Sandyford or just finished a shop in Aldi. Eat all day great tea coffee...

I don't usually drink flat whites or lattes (some classmates got me started) so I'm not too sure what to expect as a comparison/standard. Staff are friendly and service is fast.

Discounted prices are available for employees/students in nearby businesses.

Quick bites are displayed on the counter and a clip board menu features salads, sandwiches and mains. They also serve craft beer & wine. The back corner contains a full range NEOM organic from London and Ireland's own Voya, all excellent premium products and beautifully displayed, but these skin care products and candles seem out of place in a coffee shop and the smells, while nice, can be overwhelming and uncomplimentary to your coffee or lunch. Like their fine dining establishment next door, the food is excellent.

These guys are a mobile coffee setup. Currently located outside of The Wall fitness centre in the mornings 7-11 Of course this is take away only setup. The chat is always good and the coffee is the best in the area. If you've ever been on holidays in Italy or France you'll notice the portions of coffee is always small. But here at home the cups in most places are massive. These guys have got the size just right. No need for large when the quality is good right

The service is super quick and prices are good. The menu is another good feature: it informs calories, fat, blablabla just what I needed it. They also have healthy shakes. I tried the green leaves protein shake and it was delicious..! I was concerned I would not like because it had celery but they prepared it in a way it did'nt taste like green leaves at all. Very very good, I really recommended. I also had a panini and it was great. Really tasty. To finalized I tried their carrot cake. Not one of the best I had but def good. It was a big slice and I couldn't finish it. So brought half slice home =)

It's a lovely bright space and we were impressed by the menu mentioning calories, carbs, protein and the likes - and it actually made me to decide on the roasted vegetable panini. I could add salad, soup or chips for another €2 but it came with a small salad anyhow so that was fine with me - and first a bit confusing if I should go for that offer. The staff was (very) quick but perfectly ok to give us more time to decide. And definitely friendly staff. I'll definitely be back, pity they're only open til 5pm but I suppose after working hours there's not much happening around there.

This insomnia is on the bottom floor of the building where i work so obviously i have been inside…read moregazillions of times! Of course it has all the same stuff as every other insomnia in terms of food and coffee and little cakes and the great offers that you can get in town apply out in Sandyford too! My reason for writing this review is the staff though. I have to say that the girl who works in there is just so lovely. Today i went down and she isn't there because i think she might have gone on maternity leave but i hope that she gets taken back because she is the friendliest lady ever and she already knows your order before you even get to the counter, she has learned off what everyone comes in to her likes. A few months ago there was another guy working in there whose name translated into stephen (I'm sorry "stephen" I can't remember how to pronounce your real name!) anyway this guy was even nicer than the girl I talk about above, he was always so cheery and upbeat and made you smile on those mornings when you just didn't want to be in work. Everyone in my office agreed that he made the best coffees and hot chocolates (and probably every other drink) that they had ever tasted and it wasn't the ingredients it was his skill, he knew those machines inside out. One day though he was gone, the owner of that particular insomnia moved him on because one guy in our building didn't like him. So this review is a "bring back "Stephen" campaign" review. And a warning that while this is a good insomnia, you should not get too attached to the person who makes their coffee because the owners of this shop do not understand that customers are creatures of habit and they like someone to know their coffee ways intimately and any change can really upset them! I know some of you know what I'm talking about!

Doesn't matter how often you visit they always have time to say hello to you.
