    the only one I'd ever recommend would be Dunne & Crescenzi, South Frederick Street off Nassau Street. Excellent coffee and very comfortable and relaxing.

    Curve Street cafe, serves Ariosa.. Brick Alley Cafe in temp bar also.. Biroche on Aungier st, Milk+honey, (darwins). Fallon& Byrne, and Bewleys on Grafton depending on barista.

    I wouldn't agree with recommendation of Dunne & Crescenzi. Over rated for what it is, a very woody, dirty tasting coffee. sorry

    Woody and dirty? Maybe I like woody and dirty then! Perhaps a lot of it is goodwill with me, they did force a lot of coffee shops to up their game when they first opened and I applaud that. That said I hardly ever get an espresso there anymore, it tends to be a longer drinkable latté.

    Are you looking to go to south county dublin?

    There is a lovely place in monkstown called seagreen.

    Or, if you can travel a bit, I would recommend Avoca handweavers in Kilmacanogue. Lovely garden setting. Great food/cakes/coffee.

    Good Luck :)
