Best coffee shops Dublin

In your opinion what's the best coffee you had in town

Best, I would have to say in Joe's Coffee at Arnotts. Was just a fantastic cup from start to finish. The beans they were using (from The Barn) were just great, a gorgeous honey taste that perfectly complimented the milk. I generally order flat whites, rarely a filter.

I've had some really killer coffees in Kaph, Blas, and Urbanity. There are other places that have made fantastic coffees like Network on Aungier St, Laine My Love on Talbot St, but their roasts were too light and didn't really work well for a milk coffee in my opinion.

That's a problem facing a lot of the aspiring Third Wave cafes in Dublin, I just don't think they are offering beans with milk drinks in mind. Decor can be a bit of the same also, and I really find it disturbing how they leave the pastries open on the counter. In one of the cafes named above (I won't say) I noticed fruit flies hanging around the cakes. It makes no sense. It's my biggest pet peeve about some of the serious cafes.

Joe's filter coffee is one of my favorites. No idea what beans they use for it. For fancy filter Coffee Angel is my favorite though I had one from the Dublin Barista School a week or two ago and it wasn't bad either.

Coffee Angel is consistently excellent. Doesn't matter if its the one off Grafton street or the little kiosk across from the CCD.
I did have a coffee in Laduree on South William street and it was very good indeed.

My favourite by far is Cafe Java in Ballsbridge.
Lovely staff too.

Coffee Angel is really good. I usually go to the mobile one at the Sean O'Casey bridge opposite CHQ.

For an espresso I like Il Fornaio on College Green.

I dont drink that much coffee but when I do I go to Two Beans in Dun Laoghaire. Its a bit of a walk from the office and I pass 4/5 other cafes on the way but its well worth it. People are very sound in there as well. Brought the little lad in one weekend and they treated him like a king

Urbanity most definitely. Awesome café with the added bonus of really great food. I really like Network, too. The food out on counters doesn't bother me at all, though.

There are loads of options great options in Dublin. I really like Proper Order Coffee (just off Smithfield square) and Bang Bang in Phibsborough (uses Silverskin an Irish Roasted Coffee company). Coffee Angel is great too (agreed both the shop and kiosks are good). 3FE make good coffee but they are expenses. If you're looking for food and a coffee, I'd suggest Brother Hubbard (Capel Street) or Two Boys Bew (Phibsborough), or Sister Sadie (off Camden St near Portobello). Art of Coffee (few locations, in Grand Canal Dock or just off Henry St).
Lots more great places too. Loads of options in Dublin at the minute!

Kaph just beside George's arcade is currently my favourite. The coffee doesn't taste burnt and is at the perfect temperature for me.

Industry on Dury St, opposite Kaph is great. Roasted Brown coffee and killer chocolate brownies!

(Mods if ye don't like the idea of people posting on an old thread you can delete/move this - this was the most recent thread on best coffee in Dublin, thought it would be ok to post here than make a new thread.)

Not wholly familiar with Dublin, but going to be near the Grand Canal area and in the Iveagh Gardens this weekend.

Was wondering where's good to go for coffee and food? 3fe and KC Peaches are near where I'll be but I'll consider anywhere that's worth it.
Cake Café near the Iveagh Gardens looks great from what I've seen for food and coffee, and Brother Hubbard South aswell.

Two Boys Brew and Urbanity are really 'it' for me when I think of a solid food/coffee combo.
