  1. A

    Milk Bar

    Don’t go to Iveagh Gardens without visiting this groovy little sandwich bar, which serves some of the best coffee in Dublin. The blend is a little mild, but if its standard offerings don’t hit the mark, these are the most benevolent baristas in Dublin and are happy to tweak their coffee – a little cooler, warmer, stronger, milkier, sweeter – until you get your fix exactly how you like it.

    Panem

    Pasta, focaccia and salads are the standard fare at this diminutive quay-side café, but the specialities are wickedly sweet and savoury pastries, which are all made on-site. The croissants and brioche – filled with Belgian chocolate, almond cream or hazelnut amaretti – are the perfect snack for a holiday stroll along the Liffey Boardwalk. Lunchtimes are chaotic.

    Nude

    With juice bars a-go-go in the city, modernist Nude may no longer be the rarity it once was, but it still maintains its own unique identity. Owned by Bono’s brother, it takes the fast-food experience to a delicious and healthy extreme offering hot Asian wraps, bean casseroles and spirulina-spiked juices to go or have on the (plastic-free) spot.

    Butler’s Chocolate Café

    Heavenly hedonistic; the coffee might not be the very best in town, but the combination of a delicious handmade chocolate and damn good coffee is hard to beat. Actually, sod the coffee and double up with its famous hot chocolate for an unforgettable treat. There are branches around the south side.

    Harry’s Cafe

    Harry’s has some great drops on the wine list, many of which you’ll see mounted on the bare brick walls of this friendly place. House specialities include organic beef burgers or bangers and mash, but the baked Mediterranean stack oozing melted goat’s cheese is our favourite.
