Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Dún Laoghaire

"Brother Hubbard is a recent addition to trendy Capel Street and they're setting the bar high. Coffee and tea is sourced from two of the best Dublin suppliers, 3FE and Wall and Keogh and their homemade drinks including orange and lemon barley water and rose, raspberry and apple are refreshing and different. In recent months they have really stepped up their sweet treat offerings and there are now a range of baked goods from scones to friandes as well more dessert-style items."

"This Beans and Pulled Pork Special at Brother Hubbard featured cannellini beans in a rich and lightly spiced tomato sauce, overnight roasted pulled pork, a soft fried egg and toast. We loved Brother Hubbard during our first visit to Dublin in 2013. At the time, the new-ish restaurant stood out as a shining light in the Dublin culinary scene by serving modern comfort food and quality coffee in a trendy yet chill setting."

"We first heard about The Fumbally from a pair of young chefs sitting next to us at 3fe Coffee in 2016. When we asked about cool restaurants in Dublin, they answered with The Fumbally. Sure enough, while exploring some of the newer artisan cafes in the city, we asked an in-touch barista about good places to eat and she asked, “Have you been to The Fumbally?"

"This dog and kid friendly cafe (that should come with a hipster warning) serves up amazing food made with simple recipes. The Fumbally Eggs are to die for and will really set you up for the day. They use 3FE coffee too so you just can't go wrong here."

"A favourite choice amongst other coffee shops in Dublin, this expert cafe roast their own coffee beans, offer tasting courses and make excellent food produce too. This is an amazingly chill place to go after work and network. Or you know, just relax."

"If you’re someone with a sweet tooth, then you’re going to want to visit the Queen of Tarts bakery and café. You’ll be amazed at the sweet selection of breakfast and brunch items that are available to purchase. We are strong proponents of having cheesecake for breakfast — what could be more perfect than starting your day with a heavenly creamy slice of Bailey’s cheesecake?"

"One of the best names for a café you'll ever hear, and although they do a great brunch and a bunch of other food, it's the cakes that will keep you coming back. Usually packed to the rafters, but well worth the wait."

"They are currently only doing takeaway, however, Meet Me in the Morning is the kind of brunch spot that is unique and definitely worth a visit. Monday-Friday they’re open 8AM-4PM and on Saturdays and Sunday they open at the slightly later hour of 8:30AM until 4PM. The eggs and greens dish is a bit eccentric but delicious, with its dressing of garlic yoghurt, paprika oil and curly parsley."

"Drawing inspiration from Bob Dylan’s music and forged with modern welcoming elements,. relish the evolution of the all-day breakfast menu in Meet Me In the Morning. One of the founders is a Barista Champion and the café next door, Reference Coffee, teems with a buzzing crowd of coffee drinkers."

"Although Greenhouse was considered to be the best in the city I hadn’t brought anything more than jeans and tights. Not wanting to feel dressed inadequately for fine dining I opted for his sandwich recommendation at Oxmantown. At Oxmantown I met Connor who leads a kitchen with incredibly hearty sandwiches that are ridiculously low priced for Dublin standards."

"Sprout & Co. has multiple locations across Dublin, and is heavily revered by veggies around the city. The chain is based on fresh produce coming from their very own farm, so the options for all non-meat eaters are endless!. Try everything from veggie boxes to sticky fried aubergine to avocado toast to falafel and miso plates."

"Going to the Guinness factory and taking the tour is about as touristy as you can get- but for good reason. It's a fun, interactive tour and you get to drink at the end. The rooftop bar also has a great view."

"This 200 seater beer garden in Clondalkin has had finishing touches added to it over the past few days, so make sure to pay a visit. General manager Damien Long said: "The staff are excited and a little apprehensive as it has been so long off. I think we'll be grand when we get going."

"Meltdown on Crow Street in Temple Bar serves up melted cheese madness and artisan coffee. They take the wonderful Irish delicacy, that is the cheese toasty, to a whole new level with a range of drool-worthy flavours. There are five decadent sandwiches on offer with each one cheesier than the last."

"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"Cafe Topolis is located in the heart of the city center, next door to Dublin’s City Hall and serves its guests with a wide variety of mouth-watering Italian cuisine. All of the pizzas at Cafe Topolis are cooked in the traditional wood burning pizza oven. A wood fired pizza oven cooks your pizza better than a normal oven because of Read more…"

"Although I’m yet to visit That’s Amore in Monkstown, I have it on good authority that this place is well worth travelling to!. The owners Silvia Leo and Marco Valeri run this casual Italian deli and import most of the ingredients from Italy. So, what’s so special about this restaurant?"

"Why: If you know that you’re fancying Italian food but are wanting something a little bit different from a standard restaurant, The Little Pig Speakeasy could be just what you’re looking for. This 1920s style speakeasy hidden away in the centre of Dublin not only serves some pretty spectacular cocktails, but also offers a fantastic food menu of Italian classics. You can indulge in dishes ranging from burrata with Parma ham and melon to lobster spaghetti, all while enjoying the classy ambience of the velvet-clad room.Where:6 Glendenning Lane, Wicklow Street, D02 NP97"

"The Little Pig is from the folks behind Suffolk Street's beautiful, underground Blind Pig speakeasy - Michael Martin & Co. It takes up the floor above Pacino's restaurant and is all luxurious red velvet walls, polished bronze roofing, navy velvet seating, white tabletops, dimmed lighting and tasselled lamps. It's pure mysterious, intriguing, elegant, old-school class that brings you back to another era."
