A bit let down by my latest visit, with reference to the different coffee types against cup sizes. Unless all my earlier visits were wrong or this latest one was wrong. Although the latest was my 1st with a different barista.

Wonderful espresso coffee beans, creamy foam, skilful latte art and competitive price. If you prefer rich and nutty taste in stead of acidity, it should be the best you can find around Grand Canal Dock. They do deserve a stabler milk supplier since I noticed that their Alpro Oat Milk was out of stock and Barista had to choose another alternative. Suppliers, don’t miss them! This is a totally worthwhile and win-win cooperation👌

area littered with broken beer bottles this weekend - theyre not on the street theyre on the little promenade unfortunately clear ups are needed due to I accept the anti social behaviour that's not your fault, review is relevant because you sell bottles. (used capsules from some sort of drug there, surely you see its off putting to leave them there during trading hours is it supposed to encourage business.)

Covid safe place! Well ventilated, one way system & high ceiling. Good coffee & nice staff always. I had a very nice smoked chicken sandwich. Outside seating. Bring your coat as that area is always breezy, even in summer.

I had a coffee here yesterday around lunchtime for the first time and both my husband and I agreed that the coffee was the best we had had in a long time - we had a white americano and a cappuchino - both were really really good. We made a note to remind ourselves to stop here the next time we are passing by ! We were served by a lovely girl who seemed to be doing everything by herself - and the service was really good !

Best thing about this chain is that the coffee they serve is great, and the quality and taste is consistent across any of their shops I have been to.

Loved the little panda on my hot chocolate which was quite tasty. The lemon cake slice though was rather dry which was a let down. Staff are very warm and friendly and the coffee is pretty good. There is seating outside as well which is useful on a dry and non-windy day. Would return.

When I was in Dublin I went here 2-3X. Same order, hazelnut latte and a toasted breakfast sandwich (bacon, cream cheese, lettuce, tomato), both great. The bacon is on the lighter cooked side, so if you're the crispy bacon type this isn't the spot. Otherwise they have bagels, croissants, quiche, and sandwiches (all available in the morning) in addition to different coffees and teas. It's also in a lovely spot next to the water and if it's nice out there's a cute patio.
