I miss Amsterdam

DoubleTHREE · 10-09-2004 11:13PM #1

I have lived many years in Holland and Switzerland, which are both famous for their great coffeshops. Nowadays I am living in Dublin and having a hard time finding a decent cup of coffee.
Anyone out there who could help me out? Please!

PS: Sorry to those people who are offended by this post but I got the perfect solution for you, just look away.

i hear they serve good coffee in the george

Blisterman · 10-09-2004 11:35PM

Of course they have great coffee. When you're stoned, all coffee is good coffee.

Emboss · 10-09-2004 11:44PM

tman's ma does a nice drop

I'm offended by this post, but since I've read it looking away doesn't do much

I know what you feel like. I haven't got a decent cup of coffee here since I got spoilt by the Spanish coffee.

Coming over here with your high standards and your fancy Dutch joined-up handwriting.

(I remember one new year's eve going out to look for a drink in Dublin with a gang, one of whom happened to be Dutch. After the 10th bouncer had turned us away from the 10th bar/nightclub he lost it and said "This is not city! It is town for peasant!"

AdMMM · 11-09-2004 11:53AM

What about Bewleys Coffee, about the most fanciest I have ever tasted!

cravian · 11-09-2004 12:14PM

Probably a travesty to say but the West Coast Coffee places do a decent cup, depending on what their special is... The Ethiopian blend is lovely.

Failing that, take a trip to Gloria Jean's (behind Brown Thomas) and you can have a wide selection, any of which they'll make up in a cafetiere. I can recommend the Zimbabe Gold and Italian Espresso for sure.
It's a nice little place early on, but gets too busy at lunchtimes with the 'in-crowd' unfortunately!

Awful service there. They have some f-ed up system for paying for your purchases that involves presenting your receipt at the till as you leave. If you don't have the receipt it causes them problems and the counter staff start getting lippy. I didn't have the receipt because the waitress slopped coffee on it and it was only fit to be thrown out. I'm afraid I simply threw the money on the counter and told them forcefully that this was a TP (Their Problem) not an MP (My Problem) and stormed out, didn't wait for my change.

make your own you lazy dutch

DoubleTHREE · 12-09-2004 09:27PM

just got back from the Isle of Man and guess what, no coffee at all there. but a great place to chill out anyway
your suggestions are all funny but not really helpful. was hoping for some pm's after my return but instead i got comedy.
good idea Mear but tried that and my thumbs are just not green enough. Tman, who would I ask in the George without putting myself into danger of looking gay?
so after all the Irish aren't as helpful as people always say...

would posting in another forum help maybe?

If you can't score blow in Dublin, then maybe you are in the wrong Dublin. You are certainly on the wrong internet, we are all clean living, God fearing, tea drinking folk....

the prob isn't the scoring, it's the quality. If you can't read, then maybe you should not write.

I suggest moving back to the Dam
you will never find 'coffee' like that here, never

Slutmonkey57b · 13-09-2004 10:25AM

Try heroin instead. It's easy to get and nobody minds you jacking up in the street. Hang around Christchurch any day of the week. We won't miss you.

If you're offended by this post, I have a suggestion:
This isn't a drugs board, fu.ck off and ask a scumbag in a nightclub. They always know how to score.

Settle down spaz! :rolleyes:

The guy is talking about coffee, if this bothers you, I recommend you look around the world in which we live and... shut your mouth

That's not true Beruthiel, I know a few people who grow their own coffee and it's very nice indeed! :rolleyes: Amsterdam standard coffee in Dublin!

I know but at least some without that damn plastic in it would do already. how can people consume that crap at all?

good link and all so true but considering that coffee loses 80% of THC when heated up too much, it's just not good enough. thanks anyway

If you've got greenfingers you really should try it for yourself....

DoubleTHREE · 13-09-2004 11:00AM

my thumbs are stars in videogames but not really in gardening. still will try it (again) though and hope for better results
