Paella & Co. Bar {Permanently Closed} Let's hope they come back! |

If you happen to be in Dublin or live here and you're looking for your next fix of coffee or a cute spot to chill, here are some places you can go to that are cozy and full of caffeine. Some I recently found and others I've been going to for a long time but they're so underrated I thought I'd get the word out there before they up and leave like most places are doing because of the rent/landlord crisis. So check these spaces out and support your local coffee shop as one cup goes a long way!
P.s if you see this
💎
next to the title of the coffee shop, it means it's a hidden gem, a spot that isn't really popular or well-known.1. Mind The Step

This is such a great spot to catch up with your friends or get some work done on the weekdays as on the weekends they have a no-laptop rule which is understandable. Try out their treats and coffee or their dance classes upstairs if you're feeling adventurous.
2. The Vintage Teapot 💎
It's not your modern, minimalistic cafe but it's dimly lit, cozy, and warm yet spacious and well-decorated with culture. Their cakes are amazing and they do dumplings and high-tea for those visiting Ireland and are intrigued. For the autumn season, I opt for the oolong teas that come in cute teapots that I'm guessing are vintage by the name of the place.
Definitely give it a visit, it's so hidden off the corner of O'Connell street that you'd never guess it was there!
3. The Art Cafe 💎

I love this place a lot, it's my go-to space for having a lovely veggie breakfast and some me-time. The staff is always so friendly, during the summer you can eat outside which means watching the city go by or when it's cold and rainy, you can people watch inside with a nice hot beverage. They also have great art displayed on their walls and host art exhibition launches and music nights, hence the name!
4. Vice
Vice is along the Luas tracks off of O'Connell street amongst other restaurants but it's great for drinks and food especially if you like Vietnamese-style iced coffee which is sweet, refreshing, and great for summer (remember to mix it!), during autumn their hot chocolate is a great option for their sticky delicious brownies!
5. Brindle 💎
I came across this place after work one day and it was perfect for getting some last-minute laptop time, I was in there with one other person though so I didn't feel like I was intruding or anything, I'd recommend it for catching up or reading a book, they have a great selection of wine and cheese and card games too like cards against humanity.
6. The Music Cafe
If you're looking for a place to catch up or read a book and people watch, this is the perfect location as it's right next to Wellington Quay an area with lots of foot traffic and a bonus tip; where the sun sets beautifully in the evenings!
They do excellent coffees, offer music nights, and have great books on the shelf for a good ol' read.
7. Flower and Bean
A very welcome to the newest cafe around the block, with their mouth-watering pastries and eye-pleasing decor they've carved a crook in my heart so I'll be returning frequently for a tasty cinnamon bun!
Though intimate in space, I'd recommend going early or grabbing treats to go and stroll down to St.Patrick's Cathedral which is 12 minutes away. They've got a seating area for the working-from-home-but-wants-to-work-in-a-coffee-shop-instead-squad and an area for kids to draw and eat their dinosaur cookies which is a great idea seeing as cafes usually cater to adults majority of the time.
8. Bakeology
If you've never had an empanada before then you need to try it out from here, especially because it's Argentinian and they make the best (I'm biased) ones with delicious flavours. I'd recommend beef or cheese for vegetarians. It's definitely and grab-go type of coffee shop as there are limited spaces so expect outdoor seating as an option. They also have delicious sweet bites to go with your coffee, I got a brownie cheesecake with dulce de leche and it was heavenly!
9. Liberty Kitchen 💎
Situated on the corner across from another popular coffee shop 'Two Pups' is this gem Liberty Kitchen, serving coffee and sandwiches to go from during the morning until daytime. They have seating next to the window to eat if you're timing is good!
10. Ginger Cafe
Another coffee shop on Francis street that is worth visiting is Ginger cafe, they have great coffee and it's homely and quite busy during lunch time which means it must be an all-time favorite. I'd recommend it if you're around the area, looking at antiques, visiting the Catherdral or second-hand shopping along Thomas Street.

From this post it probably seems like the best coffee shops are in the city center but I know there's more in the surrounding areas so for the next post, I'll sort you outer city Dubliners out and share my findings!
