Matcha Latte with almond milk? Hell yeah!

Perfectly creamy almond milk latte and welcoming staff

Will although it's one one few places which offers great coffee, the attitude of the people working there is ruining the experience!! Imagine the guy didn't know the difference between a cortado and a flat white!!! They are rude, vane,...for god sake it's just coffee you guys are serving!! So drop the attitude, and be respectful to all ppl. It's not for free!! read more

One of the best coffee places in town! Delicious coffee, absolutely lovely staff and a great atmosphere...quite space (upstairs) to enjoy a coffee in the busy city center! Good place to work and meet other freelance workers. read more

Really enjoyed this cafe! The matcha tea latte was delicious and I was so grateful to find they had coconut milk as an option. Great atmosphere for chatting with a girlfriend or reading a book. Worth a visit! read more

Kaph - Great sitting area upstairs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

See all

Kaph does an exceptional cup of coffee, and is the perfect place to go if you want to chill out by yourself for a while in Dublin City. Inside you will find very friendly and dedicated coffee-loving staff, a nice chilled out backing soundtrack, a very modern interior (well-footed hardwood floors, high ceiling, off-white walls, benches and stools as seating), and Has Bean coffee. What more could you want? I dropped in by myself to try a coffee and one of Kaph's famous Green Tea Lattes. I had a latte, which alone was good enough to book my return. The green tea latte was quite unique. It retained that distinct aromatic herbal taste, but was naturally sweet- like a white hot chocolate's less good looking but more intelligent cousin. It is in fact THE perfect pick-me-up; it has a light sweetness almost like a white hot chocolate, but all the properties(and more) of a green tea. Pleasant tasting, no sugar crash and a light caffeine lift, and at €2.60, it's well worth a try. The interior is somewhat tight for space and wouldn't be the best sit-in destination for more than a couple. This isn't significant enough to lose a star though; it simply makes this place the perfect destination for a quiet, chilled out coffee by yourself. However, I was assured that there is an upstairs seating area due to open in about a month. I will be sure to bring friends back when this opens, as the coffee there is simply brilliant. read more

Ordered a cappucino - yum! They serve Hasbean coffee, which seems to always be amazing quality. The two guys working there were very friendly and very smiley. There's an array of yummy looking pastries and sweets - I didn't try any this time but will definitely come back. Also...green tea latte looks interesting...I will try and report back. Stay tuned! +nice well-lit space :) read more

Love it, great coffee awesome Matcha Lattes and a coconut milk option for loved ones who don't deal well with lactose! They do great drinks and great sweet snacks that again are gluten free friendly for those in need of that too! They are consistently good with each visit too! read more

Upon high recommendation of my caffeine addicted friend, I decided to give Kaph a try. My first experience here was half a year ago, and if I were to purely rate my review on that day, I would probably give the place two stars because of their shoddy espresso and poor customer service. However, I considered giving them a second chance this time around and I have to say I'm quite pleased. I ordered a Matcha Green Tea Latte and it was made by a friendly barista; I mean half the experience is customer service, right? The latte was delicious, but let's face it, you can't really screw up matcha powder and steamed milk. The only thing I didn't like about the place was the seating area. They have ~5 tables upstairs, so there's not a lot of room if you need to get work done. This is more of a lets-chill-for-a-second type place rather than a i-need-to-work-on-this-proposal type place. They do, however, have an open WiFi network, so by all means, work away; just keep in mind their tables aren't intended as such. But I find that most coffee shops in Dublin operate this way, so I won't deduct any stars for that. I certainly need to come back and give their espresso a try, so stay tuned for an update! read more

This place is great!! Delicious espresso drinks and pastries. A quiet place to sit and chat while enjoying your coffee. And a staff that is super welcoming and friendly - one of the baristas, hearing I was visiting Dublin from out of town, was kind enough even to write me out a list of recommendations for some other "can't miss" Dublin coffee places to check out (I used that list a lot over the remainder of my visit to Dublin, and every single place on the list hit it out of the park). But it all started at Kaph!! read more

Kaph - Kaph - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

I dislike leaving bad reviews, but I feel it's justified in this instance. I had a latte followed by an espresso. Paid €3 for the latte, and it was absolutely awful by every rating. Milk was thin, the foam was all bubbles, and the coffee itself was tasteless against the milk. Had this come in a McDonalds cup I might have been satisfied, but for a café it was seriously below par. They were training a staff member in, I think, which I have no problem with whatsoever -- people make mistakes when they are learning -- but the manager present shouldn't have let the coffee be served, him easily knowing that it wasn't right. Really, I should have returned it but that's not something I'm good at doing. I had an espresso afterwards which was much more enjoyable (Although, with 3FE coffee, it would take a lot of work to ruin it). The decor is lovely and the staff very bubbly and friendly - can't be faulted. Hopefully this was just a bad experience. I'll try visit again sometime in the future and see if it does better. read more

Delicious delicious hot coffee. It's a small space and really nails it on the independent/hipster/cool/hipster (wait, did I say hipster twice?) vibe. This place clearly loves its coffee and also has a sense of humor - I think this place had a chalkboard sign up that proclaimed its seasonal drink was a bacon-flavored vegan latte... Honestly, there's nothing much else to review other than the staff is fun, the interior is ... hipster ... and the coffee is delicious. What more could you want? read more

Pretty good flat white and they're open slightly later than most other cafes in town, so I stopped by for a quick break after a long day at a conference. read more

Awesome coffee! that's the main part, right? And it should be mentioned that the staff are lovely, and the place is pretty nice too. read more

"3fe coffee and Madeleines" Americano and Madeleines. The coffee beans from 3fe which they brew perfectly. The Madeleines were lovely and went a treat with the coffee. Its small but seats outside. As with most of the places there are hipsters to the left right and abov read more

I have been mad to try kaph for a long time now, yelp and Instagram are filled with shots of green tea lattes and sweet treats ! The space itself I'd really clean cool looking cafe :) I ordered a cappuccino first which was very decent but the highlight was of corse the green tea latte! Before I dive into my review of it id like to prefix it with that I don't like green tea at all !! Which I had forgot about before ordering ha. Now in saying that I did enjoy it as first it's very sweet by itself and I can see how the green tea n coffee actually go together well , and il be honest I thought it was a bit of a gimmick before I tried it but I'm coveted. Half way through It did become a bit off but I'm putting it down to my distaste for green tea but if you do like it in any way I would definitely recommend it ! Now with all the praise out of the way, I did spot something a didn't like. Either the manager or the owner came from chatting to staff from behind the till and took up dirt from the floor between the tables with a little red dust pan and brush and then walk to the door and throw the dirt on the street. I didn't see what he swept up I don't care if it was only dust it's still a really uncool thing to do. You don't litter especially from your store front for which it lost star. Very disappointing to see read more

Cool without being offishly so, relaxed atmosphere but with a bit of a buzz. Free Wifi, excellent coffee and fabulous and inexpensive cakes. I'm a big fan of places where you have a choice of just getting a couple of bites of sommat sweet at €1-2. They have a coconut milk option for those who are dairy free and paleo cakes too, which are nicer than they sound from reading the labels. There's nowhere I'd rather go on a sunny morning for a coffee break as they have a lovely bench out front as well as seating upstairs. If you can nab a spot outside on a sunny morning, it's a little bit of heaven at eleven. read more

Matcha green tea coffee. Soooo addictive!! In general place is hipster and chill but in a good way. I genuinely enjoy it. read more

Kaph - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

Was passing by Kaph and realised I never jumped on that whole Matcha latte bandwagon. The cafe has a really cool vibe and loads of staff, so the service was really prompt. They stock the ever popular 3fe coffee and cater for all milk preferences (regular, almond, coconut.....). read more

Coconut milk, matcha latté in town? Em... YES PLEASE!! Heavenly coffee and treats. Also, if you're a regular you can leave your loyalty card in a box at till and you can get it stamped every time you come in. Nifty. read more

I must say the first impressions of the place was very very cool. It has a modern artsy vibe without being pretentiously hipster. The place is small enough, so cosy, yet the mirrors on the second floor gave the illusion of spaceiousness (i actually walked into the mirrors thinking it led to another section for the cafe). I had the matcha latte, and I must say the flavour was lovely, with just the right amount of matcha without being overpowering (I've made matcha myself before and it could be easy to get the proportions wrong). I also had the ham and cheese toast and it was pressed just perfectly crunchy. The ham was interesting too, it was more like a pulled pork texture than the sliced ham you get at the store. I tried their paleo snack range (Orange slice), and it was surprisingly yummy, a bit dear (€3 for a 1x2" slice) but I would treat myself again. I would definitely go back again and again!!!. I can see myself spending every weekend here with my laptop, and they have great music compared to most of the generic/ crap that most other places have. Super friendly staff too. The only complaint I have is the wifi registering process, which took me FOREVER to validate ( you have to check in on Facebook to get free wifi). read more

A welcome addition to the Dublin coffee scene. Good coffee in Dublin is not that easy to find if you are an Aussie expat having been raised to very high coffee standards. Rest assured though, Kaph hits the spot alright. Not only is the coffee great, but the baristas are seriously into their coffee and take great pride in their work. It shows. The interior is minimalist but you really don't need much more - this place is seriously about the coffee, and is in the top 5 coffee places in Dublin for good reason! The cafe is quite small but comes off as bigger due to all the mirrors everywhere. That said as any good coffee snob will tell you, you don't want to be sharing your good coffee with too many people anyway so this place has got it pretty right. The only thing missing which I would love to see on the menu is chai latte. The trend is only starting to take off in Dublin so go on Kaph, let's see you step up to the plate! read more

If it's Berlin-style form and function that you're after, as well as 3Fe coffee, then you're onto a winner with Kaph. They were playing the Pixies when I visited (bonus points for that!) Patrons made full use of the few seats outside - perfect on a sunny day. I haven't been upstairs but I liked what I saw downstairs, cosy with a variety of seating options: window seat for two, a recessed area with two seats and a metal tray table, and stools and a shelf table along the length of the wall at the back. I tried a bite size chocolate madeleine with crushed pistachio on top (nice to see smaller sweet treats on offer....) and a coconut milk flat white, it went down a treat, and the coconut milk was a nice option to have. We were there for three hours (and they didn't move us!) I can't wait to revisit this place, as the coffee is the real deal....and I want to try the matcha green tea latte! read more

Been to this place once with friends and I was really impressed with the quality of the coffee. Now I am not a big coffee drinker, so you should take this with a pinch of salt. But when I do drink it I have high standards so maybe take that pinch of salt back. The coffee was great and the service was really friendly. We were there on a busy Saturday morning and we barely had to wait. Once we left and we started walking around I started noticing how many other people were holding Kaph cups. Apparently everyone kept this secret coffee place from me for too long, but no more! read more

All I have to go on for this review is one delicious coconut milk coffee. Tip top, no faults, a great place to sit with a coffee. They offer coconut soy as well, but I didn't manage to try it. I am now on the hunt (and only making) coconut coffees. It is a great space with great coffee! read more

Kaph - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

Great little coffee spot. Hipster vibe. Tight space but cosy nonetheless. Excellent place to people watch. Relax. Work. Read a book upstairs. Journal. Study. Free WiFi. Loads of locals and tourists in this place. Had a Flat White with Oat milk. Good music. Located on an excellent street near loads of shops and pubs. Safe location for tourists to walk about. read more

Good coffee but the service was appalling. I ordered a flat white to go however 3 individuals who ordered coffees AFTER me were served first. Obviously as they were friends with the barista. "Mates service". Won't be recommending or going back. read more

Local coffee is a plus, but when it comes with friendly staff, advice on how it should be made, and a nice place to socialise, you really can't beat it. My absolutely favourite coffee shop in Dublin. Try the Matcha Green Tea Latte. It's fantastic with coconut milk as well. read more

I'm so happy I found a place to have Matcha. Such a lovely Café! It's a great place to be. Stuff is very nice and the prices are ok. Could spend the whole day here! #aplacetomeethipster read more

Kaph - Matcha Latte! So yummy. :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dublin, D

It's decent enough coffee but the service most of the times act as if they don't know why you're there or that they don't wanna serve you. Everyone has an off day but been here a few times and the same people, same service. Unless it's one of their mates, then they are fine but only to their mate. They don't say a word to you. The coffee isn't good enough to warrant a stuck up hipster serving you each time. read more

Currently widely considered as the best cafe in Dublin. Excellent coffee and tea. Upstairs is very pleasant and useful: quiet and calm, and a good place to work or read, mercifully with inobtrusive (almost non existent) music (an area where most other cafes in the city fall down). read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I've had one of my best cups of cappuccino in this place but the one thing that really drew me in was the matcha latte. I used to drink it only when I had to eat in Yamamori but this is a much more relaxing place to enjoy a cup. The staff are absolutely lovely and forgiving and this has been proven when I accidentally broke the communal table's stretcher (yes, if you see something broken that's it). One of the staff came up to check up on what she thought was a broken cup only to find that I had destroyed their furniture :-( Fortunately I hadn't been billed for a new table but that doesn't mean it's okay to break things so be careful! I have since recommended this place to numerous people and they all adore this charming little place. Lovely gluten free cakes too! read more

Few seats are available and can barely walk in. Average desserts. Would not recommend.

Voted the second best coffee shop in Dublin. Here they use the coffee of the moment 3FE which is delicious(not sure which blend) . They also have Matcha available which is pretty delicious. You can also buy the 3FE bags of coffee (also a good gift for coffee lovers) also along with other coffee addict products. For paleo people they use coconut milk instead of soya milk (not sure if they use soya at all) a lot of their treats and sweets are also Paleo but they also have normal ones. Only ever got coffee to go here, I believe you can venture upstairs and sit down. The interior is very Amsterdam inspired (industrial). Staff are super friendly and they always chat to the regulars. Loyalty card also available (which I always loose :P ) read more

I ducked into Kaph the other day to escape the pouring rain and wind. I was immediately greeted by the barista and promptly served a steaming pot of tea. As a person who cannot eat gluten or processed sugar, I hate walking into cafes because normally I cannot eat any of the food, and my tea has to be left unsweetened. To my delight, Kaph serves Paleo pastries, which are quite delicious, and have Xylitol as a sugar alternative. I had a brownie, which was delicious, and after suspiciously adding xylitol to my tea, found it to be quite good too. The atmosphere at Kaph is really relaxing and quirky. It reminded me a lot of a place that would be found In Venice, California. I will definitely be returning. read more

Guy taking my order was a total jerk who barely spoke or understood English. I cancelled my order after he rudely slammed the empty cup that was to be my coffee down. read more

I've passed by this place so many times on my way to get my macaron fix from Cocoa Atelier but it has always been mid-afternoon and too late for caffeine. Well the other day I was running errands during my lunch break and realised that I hadn't had any coffee yet. Kaph was just up ahead so it was clearly a sign. I stopped in and after a few minutes the barista asked for my order. I was eyeing the pastries but decided a flat white would be best. Now this place is probably not good if you are in a rush but once the beverage reached my lips I forgot about the wait. This was one of the best flat whites I have had to date. Not too strong but not too milky either. I found myself slowing down the sips to try and make it last. It is not quite as cheap as what you can get at Nick's or Art of Coffee but what's an extra €.30 for happiness? read more

Was brought here for the first time today, really really enjoyed the experience. Unbelievable prices unlike anywhere else in Dublin. Super friendly staff, even got on a first name basis with the baristas! Had my first green tea matcha soy latte and even had to come back for a second, am now addicted. Will definitely be coming here again with other friends. Lovely atmosphere and fun and quirky artwork. read more

Best coffee I've found in Dublin. Also a nice selection of paleo & allergen-free options, e.g. coconut milk for the coffee and pastries made with almond flour or coconut flour. read more
