    Dún Laoghaire

    Starbucks is a Starbucks, I know…read more This one is nice and a big tho, very clean and open so late. Which is great. Coffee shops are always closed too early I find. Yes I know so we can all sleep at night, but Thers decaf yall. Great for grabbing one on the go, before hitting the pier. Delicious coffee and a stroll down the pier. Nudddddin better :)

    This is a new Starbucks just opened beside Nandos in Dun Laoghaire. It doesn't look like or feel…read morelike other Starbucks. It has a different vibe. It is big and spacious and has nice confortable seats as well as a big long table in the middle of the upper floor. It is really bright and airy and the music isn't blasting through the speakers, in fact it would have been quiet relaxing if it wasn't for all the kids running around, but it was a Sunday morning so maybe it would be more kid free during school days. The staff were helpful and bubbly but not in an annoying way the the service was quick and efficient. The machines in operation here are bean to cup machines so in theory you should be able to get the same standard of coffee everytime you come in as you just press a button and the coffee grinds and brews automatically. In theroy the coffee should be fresher too as the beans are only ground as each cup is made, but it is still Starbucks coffee which I find not very exciting, however, at this time of year they do have their more flavoursome Christmas Blend on offer which you can have as a filter coffee or in an espresso based drink. I would highly recommond this, with one of their delicious and festive gingerbread muffins. The prices in every Starbucks have increased by 15c, at least for an americano it has, so value isn't as great as it use to be here, but still if you like a lot of coffee Starbuck's venti sized can't be beat.

    Killiney

    Delighted to see the expansion of this once tiny place up Killiney HIll. It's really nice to pop…read moreinto while on a walk or in general. They have a rail set up out side with water bowls for the dogs so you can keep an eye on them while you have a cuppa. The walls are glass so you can keep an eye out. :)

    This place as the potential to be A-mazing instead... It just doesn't do the trick. Tucked away on…read moreKilliney Hill, it's perfectly placed for all the tourists looking for the best view of Dublin whilst it's a mecca for locals go about a daily walk or jog. Been here on a few occasions and for example, my most recent visit... It was a super cold winters day and I was looking forward to getting inside but they didn't really have much heat going on, many people still sitting with jackets and scarfs on, take the hint..!!! Also, it was 3pm and they had no sandwiches on display people had to ask for them and the lady seemed troubled to go out the back and bring a few options out... Plus for a great little cafe building and area, they have only pre-made sandwiches, ye know the kind in cardboard/plastic sleeves. They don't have any option to toast them and also pretty sad, they cut it into quarters and serve it on a plate... Eh, we all known I've just bought a cardboard sandwich, serving it to me in triangles doesn't make it any more gourmet. Also, 3pm... Cold winters day and they had ran out of soup, yep, no soup... Was half expecting her to say they had no hot water for my cup of tea, but it's ok, hot water was in stock :-) Service wise, they really could do with putting on a smile... There's little or no pleasantries from the staff which is such a shame and as a tourist hub, they don't give off that renowned Irish Charm.
