The view is very nice. You can sit in front of windows that look at the canal. Great for people watching. The hot chocolate was very good and my americano was excellent. Great pastry selection as well. The staff was very friendly. I would like to come back. read more

Dear management, it would probably be a good idea to update your Yelp business info to clearly state "NO LAPTOPS / NOT GOOD FOR WORKING." I chose this coffee shop because of the excellent reviews great location and overall atmosphere... I ordered food/coffee, sat in the back corner, broke out my small computer to get caught up on digital artwork that I had fallen behind on... Nearly thirty minutes later I was notified that laptops were not allowed. I hadn't even finished my coffee yet. Dumbfounded... I looked around and noticed a man sitting directly behind me with a giant Ipad with a keyboard attached but no one said anything to him? I am not sure how this makes any sense. Also from my observation, every single person in the shop was staring at their electronic device, so the "no screens rule" doesn't apply here. I wasn't using WiFi on my laptop. But really, cafés have been places for conducting business for centuries and essential for most people while traveling and working remotely. Other than that... this is a cute little place offers a wide range of menu items... maybe only a good place to eat, drink your tea or coffee, read a book or endlessly scroll on your phone? Sure... whatever dudes. read more

I missed my bus and needed something hot, with chocolate -for example let's say a hot chocolate!- to cheer me up.... This is how I spotted that place first. That day I finally ended with a milkshake, because it sounded suddenly really appealing (and also because, well, it was finally warm enough outside). And it was greatly made, bigger than I thought it would be, and the service was deliciously chatty. That milkshake finaly did the same role as a hot chocolate usually does with me. Since that day, I always end there when I need to wait a little for my bus. Milkshake, hot chocolate, iced tea, this is always a good moment, with a good view on the quay. And, I have to say this: Their "pain au chocolat" are wonderful! They are perfectly measured between smelting and crispy. And as a French, this is a real pleasure. read more

DwarfJar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

I was quite pleased to see that nice corner on the quays finally occupied by something worthwhile. It's small, but very cosy. Coffee is the main reason I frequent cafés and this one delivers, adding another very good coffee spot to a city where it was once sorely missed. The owner is friendly and quite passionate about his work, what more could you want! I have yet to try their sandwiches, so I'm keeping that one last start to myself for now! read more

I loved this little coffee shop! My boyfriend and I walked in here, dying for some caffeine, and the gentleman behind the counter was beyond helpful. He was patient and took our confusion and turned it into a perfectly made beverage. Twice over, as I hadn't made up my mind yet. When I checked in, I received a coupon, and he honored it with a smile. Such a gem read more

DwarfJar was the go-to spot for coffee, meeting point and quick bite in the morning of St. Patrick's day. In the heart of Temple Bar district in Dublin (across the street from the canal) it's an ideal location for tourists and locals alike. One of the aspects I liked the most about DwarfJar was the atmosphere and variety of food/drink options. It definitely mirrors some of our hipster-trendy cafes in places like New York City with coffee bean bags used as seat cushions, sandwiches, tapas, and desserts available and an assortment of hot/cold coffee or tea drinks and of course the clientele consisting of both tourists/out-of-towners and entrepreneurs/students/professionals using the wi-fi for working purposes. The barista we had the handful of times we came here was very helpful answering questions about edibles/drinks available and friendly. We always could get a seat no matter the time of day/night and I appreciated it was open late compared to other cafes or coffee shops in Dublin or in proximity. I tried the Vietnamese coffee which was more sweet than bold which I enjoyed and also tried some of there sandwiches which were equally delicious and fresh. I also liked that they used real dishware/glassware and utensils instead of cups and such that you'd throw out in the trash. To the nerds out there, take a look around and you'll find some funny artifacts from your favorite sci-fi tv shows. Overall, a great vibe and definitely worth a visit. read more

I've always wanted to come here just out of admiration for the name (it's so cute!) so I was glad to stop in one rainy afternoon. There weren't many seats, but we managed to snag a table by the window, facing the river. We ordered a tea, a hot chocolate, and a scone with jam and butter. Our order arrived quickly and without a hitch. Not much to report about the beverages and scone, but the decor was adorable! The ordering booth was decorated with the timeline of the life of a cup of coffee (i.e. from being planted to being served in DwarfJar). The lofty ceilings felt nice and elegant. We were comfortable and didn't feel rushed at all. I overheard one of the servers telling a customer that their small indoor loft area will be opening up soon to provide more seats. read more

DwarfJar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

One day walking at quays after work I passed it from of it and I saw free wifi and great coffee in a sign outside. Why not? I thought. It is a very nice coffee place. And small too. The big deal here is order a coffee and sit by the window to watch the peasants. The coffee is good indeed, latte is 2.80 (small). Carrot cake 3.95. It was good to tell the truth, but it wasn't fresh. The location is perfect, at corner between Temple Bar/ Quays. read more

If I lived in Dublin I'd hang out here! What a parade of people in and out of this place, tourists, locals, the lot. What you also get is the best coffee I had in the whole of Ireland. As we were walking by I glanced in and saw smiles, and poking my nose in gave me the most delicious fragrance of the bean. They've got food to eat, both savories and sweets, and lots of choices for what have you to drink. Warm, helpful and informative service, attentive, too! For me, it's the coffee. That, and the chill vibe in the room and the motion and light outside and the smell in the air... Enjoy read more

I always pass nearby this cafe and never tried until yesterday. It has a great location and it stands out in street. So i walked in and the most thing that i found amazing is their blackboard, it has everything you wanna try starting from coffee/ tea, milkshakes, smoothies, breakfast, icecream, soft drinks..et. I only went for coffee and it was good but i cant say its the best. Anyway, i would suggest checking out this place. read more

See all

I chose this location because the Yelp info said it was good for working. THIS IS NOT TRUE!! In fact, laptops are not allowed on the premises at all and they will tell you to put it away. If you are looking for a place to have an adequate cup of coffee I guess it is ok but beware of false advertisement. read more

Walked in and the employee didn't accept the Check-In offer. He didn't even offer to ask his manager about it, he just said that he didn't know about it so he wasn't taking it. Rude service but the tea I had was decent. read more

Very friendly staff every morning and quick service, americanos are good. So happy to have a proper coffee shop in the area!

I ended up in Dwarf Jar by accident (after missing my stop on the bus...)...it was a happy accident! The place is small and functional - the coffee is the star here. I had a creamy cappuccino that had a proper kick (their coffee is hand-roasted by McCabe's in Wicklow). I didn't have enough change to get a sweet treat (and their laser machine was out of action), so I had a nibble of one of the brownies they had cut up for customers to taste...instant chocolate hit! Apart from the coffee, my favourite thing about this place was the small selection of books on offer (an eclectic mix from a Jane Austen classic to a book about Mindfulness to another tome about Victorian buildings in Dublin). I would have liked to have had a proper nose through each book, while looking up every now and then from my window seat, at the people passing by on the Quays on that rainy day...but alas, I'll have to save that for my next visit when I'll make more time. read more

Had a 3.50 voucher for two cups of coffee and two pastries - you can't argue with a price like that. The coffee was good and the pastry was decent. I could find other places that were better but it wasn't bad. read more

The food here is quite nice, as is the coffee and they have a fine selection of teas. However, it has the worst service of anywhere I can think of in Dublin. 25 minutes waiting for a sandwich is absolutely not good enough. Avoid if you're in a rush. read more

Great coffee, espresso, latte. McCabes hand roasted coffee is worth the visit. Very unique and fantastic coffee. Nice little shop with sitting room and very friendly service. read more

This little coffee shop is a breath of fresh air. The coffee and tea is brewed to perfection. All the flavors are robust and natural...unpleasant aftertaste not included. Baristas were also so friendly, we had a pleasant experience with service. I mostly appreciate their tea which is brewed fresh using loose leaf tea in your own personal mini teapot. If you like fruity tea, I really recommend the red berry tea, its truly amazing! :) Oh, and if you are craving sweet, their pastries also hit the spot with quality flavor. read more

Stopped in for a quick coffee on our way to a play. Pleasant little place and the guy behind the counter was nice. Decent coffee, I've had better, had worse, but its nice to have somewhere thats not a chain. read more

5 days into my first visit to Dublin, been going to the Starbucks next to my hotel for convenience until I found this place. Nice spot on the river, the pastries were delicious and my latte was fantastic. If you're anywhere in a mile radius and in dire need, it's worth walking a little extra and getting something of quality here. read more

I have been to Dwarf Jar many times. The coffee is really good and they have lots of tasty treats. Great location too.

Maybe I'm being bias because of the Fantastic Service no matter how busy the place, the Friendly Staff, the Great Location , Beautiful view and Extremely Sexy Brazilian waiter, but by God this was the Very Best Americano I've ever had. For my next teip to Dublin I'll be sure to book accomodation near the Dwarf Jar so I can have my 7am coffee there . read more

The best coffee. Lots of milk options, everything is prepared in front of you, really good selection and variety of drinks. I had the espresso, a coconut milk latte, and chai latte with coconut milk. I still think about this place. I would go back to Dublin just to get another latte. read more

Really nice coffee here and theres a nice atmosphere if you sit in. They have a good selection of cakes and sweet treats and staff are friendly and helpful. read more

great views, good brew and free wifi, but was told that yelp offer no longer applies and that they have been off yelp (?) for two years. read more

DwarfJar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

Friendly staff, Lovely coffee. I will definitely be back

Nice coffee - but service is haphazard at best. They don't fill the cup all the way unless you ask them to - I've more than once had to leave with a half cup of coffee (and they're not super cheap for that kind of carry on). They forget to make your coffee and you're left standing there like a fool while they laugh and joke around - no good if you're trying to get to work! Plus, I've had stale croissants out of there, and in one particularly memorable occasion, my colleague asked for butter and jam for her scone, and the weirdo behind the counter actually pretended to put butter and jam into the bag. We were embarrassed for him to be honest. In this era of a coffee shop in Dublin every 100 yards, there are much better places to go than this. I've finally just stopped going and picked another one. Don't bother unless you have plenty of time, and you're prepared to check that they're doing their job!!! read more
