lemon jelly/jelly lemon can't ever remember which way it goes, cute little cafe in temple bar out side bobs and they have one on the top level of the stephens green shopping centre.. best is a latte with vanila followed by a chocaholic crépe

I dont know I like the little coffee shops, have heard Starbucks is like rocket fuel though, would be interested to hear from someone who has actually been to one alot.

Sol Neu is my local, latte's are very nice and staff is always very plesent. So I will probably stick with them as long as this job lasts

Theres a small italian coffee place in the epicurean food hall its right beside itsabagel.. (The epicurean food hall is on Abbey Street/ Liffey Street by the way)

It is easily the best coffee place in dublin, all their stuff is imported from italy and the paninis are fantastic, all the staff are italian aswell and that adds to the atmosphere!!
The latte is so good you'll want another!!

Starbucks sell weak ass coffee
Real coffee lovers need #5 strength for taste, they use #3
Best cap in Dublin is in Cafe Irie in Temple Bar

You're all lovely people but... YOU'RE ALL WRONG!!!!!!


The best coffee/ cappucino has to be Cafe Il Napoli in Westland Row. WOW and I really mean WOW

Aye, It's up there with the best alright. Dark Sumatra coffee from Gloria Jeans is the nicest coffee I've had in Dublin. I'm into black coffee, not Cappuchinos though.

personally I would have to put Lemon up there, especially when you've just enjoyed a crepe with chocoloate buttons and ice cream.

I generally head anywhere that uses Illy coffee, that includes a couple of the Bar Italias, a spot in the westbury mall, bar bazaar (sligo). Also helps when they use a decent italian machine, the original cappucino cups made from heavy delft, and the coffee comes out looking like one of these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonx/sets/48921/ . Yumm..

Where is this in Deansgrange??

hussey

Maxol Service Station in Artane
.. It can be VERY expensive though

You just can't beat Café Aroma in the GPO Arcade.

All the staff are utterly whipped. They just get down and do their work (of making the nicest cappuchino ever)

I just found another nice place,Barneys on Westmorland St....I am not sure if its new but I tried it the other day and it was top class.

I havent been home in a while, does anyone know where Starbuck's will be situated?

I have to say that Starbucks coffee is generally muck. It's not even the McDonalds of the cafe industry, its the Abrakabra.

Gilgamesh

1. Joy of coffee, temple bar, don't know how there coffees are but the hot chocolate kicks ass.

2. new place on Parnell square called 'Lovinspoon' a must go there place, small and amazingly good

Rozabeez

If all their staff are Italian I rather hope they don't have "paninis" written on their menu, though maybe they sell spaghettis as well
