On Sundays they have a guitar duo performing live (and not loudly, which is nice), and at other times the background music ranges from a local radio station to Van Morrison to jazz. The staff are cheerful, seem to have genuine smiles, and know that I always like a glass of water with my lunch. One of my favourite meals here is the seafood chowder; it's lightly creamy, and full of large chunks of fish and vegetables. On the side, two pieces of soda bread. Delicious! I think I've also sampled most of the items on the menu, and while there are a few that aren't really to my taste or done in a style I like, if I was an octopus with thumbs I'd give the cafe 8 thumbs up.

There's seating at a few tables out front on the sidewalk, inside on both levels, and on the back patio. The service was friendly and quick. I ordered the seafood chowder, which has mussels, salmon, and other fish in a tomato broth with various vegetables. I'm not as used to the Mediterranean version of the dish, but it's hearty and delicious. I was too full for any dessert, but an array of pies and cakes sit up at the counter for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Quick bites are displayed on the counter and a clip board menu features salads, sandwiches and mains. They also serve craft beer & wine. The back corner contains a full range NEOM organic from London and Ireland's own Voya, all excellent premium products and beautifully displayed, but these skin care products and candles seem out of place in a coffee shop and the smells, while nice, can be overwhelming and uncomplimentary to your coffee or lunch. Like their fine dining establishment next door, the food is excellent.

If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

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.

The Coffee Shot is a small place with big energy and a healthy variety of options that go beyond coffee, but the coffee was what I was after! One thing I appreciated about this spot was their iced offerings. Most shops I went to in Ireland were too big on iced options on the menu, so when I walked in and saw the board with big letters spelling "iced", I knew I had arrived! I went with an iced caramel latte and it was delicious! Normally caramel can be a bit synthetic tasting, but here, they did it just right. In addition to the coffee, we got a cinnamon roll to share. Perfect combination! Overall, glad we went out of our way to swing by The Coffee Spot!
