Best cafes for specialty coffee

1. KAPH

WHERE: 31 Drury Street, Dublin 2 | 9 minutes walk from the apartment | TIMES: 8am-6pm, Mon-Sat; 10am-6pm, Sunday | BEST FOR: Serious coffee on one of the coolest streets in Dublin

A specialty coffee shop in the heart of the city, Kaph is known primarily for its coffee but almost as much for its outside bench - the coolest place to be seen and to observe others! If it's taken (most likely), head upstairs to the main room overlooking Drury Street. 

2. COFFEE ANGEL

WHERE: 3 Trinity Street, Dublin 2, D02H684 | 7 minutes walk from the apartment | TIMES: 7am-3pm, Mon-Fri; 9am-4pm, Saturdays; 10am-4pm, Sundays | BEST FOR: Great coffee in a beautiful old Victorian building

Coffee Angel is considered by many to be the best coffee you can get in Dublin. As well as coffee, there is a nice selection of treats and pastries. Fairly limited seating so best for a take-out. 

3. BEAR MRKT

WHERE: 3 South Great George's Street, Dublin 2, D02NW68 | 6 minutes walk from the apartment | TIMES: 8am-5pm, Mon-Fri; 9am-6pm, Saturdays; 11am-5pm, Sundays | BEST FOR: Good coffee in a stylish cafe

Wide and interesting selection of espresso and filter options. You can also get their own pods that work in the apartment's Nespresso machine. Also a nice vibe here - bustling, communal tables etc.
