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.

You can tell they actually care about the beans and calibration, not just blasting out caffeine to half-awake commuters. The atmosphere is what makes the place though. Busy in a good way, great music, warm lighting, and the staff somehow stay friendly even during the morning rush. Had a brownie with the coffee and it was unreal.

Three lovely baristas took my order and while I was disappointed that there wasn't a toastie or other hot breakfast available, I made do with a massive pain au chocolat. The flat white that was made to order was perfection. Rich, creamy and enough caffeine to get me to my AirBNB after a Transatlantic red-eye. And delicious. I sat with my breakfast looking out the shop's front window for a bit, watching the pedestrians and buses go by before heading to the train station.

Chicken, Chorizo and Leek Turnover: Loved how creamy this was. Chicken and leeks were dominant, but didn't notice the chorizo much. Rice Krispies: Great contrast between the crispy rice and the dense chocolate top. A nice upgrade from the typical childhood treats. Caramel Waffle Muffin: All the caramel inside of the muffin was great, so it wasn't as dry as regular muffins. The little waffle on top was very soggy though.

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!

The place was very cute and little, there was a nice amount of seating but nothing to hold swarms of people. It was nicely lit and there was a ton of natural light that was able to be let in from the windows. I ordered a small latte and a plain croissant. The total was about nine euros and well worth it! The only worker was flying through orders and had my order complete by the time I finished tapping my phone to pay for my items! The latte was perfectly smooth and was the perfect temperature. I was given sugar but didn't need any because the flavor of the coffee was a perfect robust flavor. The croissant was flakey and so soft. The butter I was given with it was perfect and had a nice creamy flavor because it was made locally! Overall an amazing little cafe that I will stop by again if I am ever in the center of Dublin and need a quick pick-me-up from a friendly barista!

They changed the look of the cafe quite a bit since the last time I was here. I liked the bare…read morelook, ah well. Besides the interior, I also had a very disappointing Iced Latte here. They only do one kind of milk (1%) and for a non-milk drinker like me that really overpowered the coffee taste. The milky mixture was poured over a couple of ice cubes and that was my Iced Latte. Okay, I took a risk, lesson learnt. Meh!
