    Awesome coffee place right off River. Has a nice sitting space upstairs and serve drinks in proper mugs. Served up one on the best americanos I found in Dublin on my last trip. Staff is also really friendly.

    Super cute cafe in Dublin. Great spot for a cozy spot on a cold rainy day. Thank you for the fabulous service, warm ambience and very delicious coffee.

    Reasonable bakery offerings

    Great quality coffee for my Seattle-based honey. Service was friendly and shop had space to sit and enjoy it for a spell.

    The best coffee in Dublin! They offer smaller sizes so you don't end up with a huge cup of milk when ordering a latte.

    Matcha Latte

    Such a charming café! I loved sitting upstairs--the service was so sweet, and there was a genuinely kind and welcoming vibe that made the whole experience even better.

    Great experience! Ambiance is super cute and cozy when initially walking in. We got 2 pastries (raisin scone and pain au chocolat) which were both delicious. Got one hot latte and one iced, both also very tasty. There is a very cute upstairs area with open seating where we could sit in the natural light and just enjoy. Highly recommend and not at all busy for a Sunday morning.

    Looking for great locally roasted coffee in Dublin? Then head over to Shoe Lane Coffee on Tara Street (near the Tara Street DART Station). This small cafe serves up great tasting espresso drinks and pastries. This coffee shop became our morning stop each day while visiting Dublin. Definitely recommend pairing one of their scones with your coffee!

    food: This brownie is one of my new favorite foods. you HAVE to get it if you stop in - will definitely stop in here daily to grab one while we're in Dublin service: such pleasant and friendly staff!!! ambiance: Love this spot! It's right off the the street so incredibly convenient, but feels very homey. There are great seating options to sit and catch up with a friend.

    latte + almond croissant

    I came here for breakfast and got a latte + almond croissant. It's conveniently located next to the DART which I loved. The drink and pastry were wonderful, and the wooden interior is beautiful!

    Had the rose mocha, best little niche in Dublin I've been to yet! It's perfect to swing by or chat at. Super friendly baristas!

Since I don't eat red meat, I was very excited to see a vegetarian Irish breakfast option. I ordered this as well as a mocha latte. Despite the rain, my friend and I sat outside since all of the indoor seating was occupied. Thankfully some heaters provided warmth for what could've been a chilly breakfast. Very quickly the lattes came out which my friend and I sipped on. They were soooo cute, mine had the design of a little bear on top! The latte itself was hot and not too sweet, the perfect start to the experience. After a few short minutes, the food came out! Immediately, my friend and I dug in. It was honestly everything I expected and even more! There were no weak links on the plate and there were generous portions as well. I sat there for a while working my way through my delicious plate!! Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Beanhive. It was an aesthetic cafe that also provided a hearty breakfast. I would definitely recommend.

The first day we arrived to Dublin, I had a bit of a headache. I sent my husband in search of coffee and a bite in the hopes of warding off the headache. He brought back a tuna melt and mocha from The Bald Barista. Both were excellent. The tuna melt was herbaceous and flavorful and the mocha was the perfect blend or rich chocolate and strong espresso. So, a few days later when my mom arrived and was hoping for coffee and a bite, I said--I've got just the place! On that visit, we enjoyed our coffee and food in house. You order at the counter where you enter and if you're dining in, you simply take the stairs to the dining room and they'll bring you both your food and coffee. This time, I ordered the same coffee (why mess with a good thing) and a yogurt with everything (fruit, nuts, seeds--the works!). The shop itself is cute, warm, and inviting. The service is top notch with beautifully friendly folks working in here (including the Bald Barista himself). If you're in Dublin and are looking for an exemplary cuppa and some tasty bites served with a smile--this is your spot. Get to it!

    Dublin, Ireland, one of my favorite cities in the world. Dublin has a coffee culture all its own. A…read morelot of small coffee shops with outstanding Barista's. They prepare and serve up coffee as a city better than any other city in the world. Sorry Seattle, Portland, its the truth. As a full fledge coffee nerd/snob I am looking for great coffee nothing more. Also if they don't roast their own beans and they are just serving someone else's coffee they will never get above a 3 star from me. I am looking strictly at the coffee and the customer service in my reviews. Accents was fantastic. When I walked in the Barista, a pretty little red headed Irish woman was doing some spectacular latte art on a Mocha, she smiled and asked me what I would like. I order just a regular Latte. They do not roast their own beans, but she was out of coffee in the grinder, she reached for a new sealed bag and I caught the name, McCabe's. I was unfamiliar so afterward I looked them up. here is the link if anyone is interested. (https://mccabecoffee.com) Local award winning Cork roaster. I watched the Barista, fill the grinder and then told me it would be a minute as she needed to dial in the espresso. I shook my head in a circle like I didn't get it but okay. She had it dialed in after 3 shots. looked like 18 in and 36 out. She was a pro, steamed my milk while the shot pulled in about 24 seconds. I ordered my drink to go but it was still presented with great art and a smile. Told me where the sugar and lids were but suggested I tried it before i added anything, that the espresso is very good. I tasted it and said, "You are right, needs nothing" and it didn't. BEST LATTE I HAVE HAD THIS TRIP TO DUBLIN. I am breaking my own rule here, I can because they are my rules, they don't roast but they use fantastic local Micro-roasted beans and prepare my drink to perfection. Don't miss this little gem the in Dublin. 5 Stars.
