    Always great coffee and delish sausage rolls, at the Digital Hub. Plus some of the best outdoor seating in town on a nice day. If the hub also hosts a market that day, you're all sorted, nothing else needed in life.

    Read a review of this cafe and went out of my way to try it, I wasn't disapointed. The staff are very friendly. The hot chocolate is amazing. They have a limited but very nice selection of cakes including a vegan option. They have a good range of sandwiches. The outdoor seating area at the back of the container is relaxed and colourful but weather dependant. I will definately come back again.

    Went to the flea market today at the Digital Hub and got a caramel macchiato latte and a carrot cake and were both so good, fair prices and the selection is really good, I had a hard time deciding what to get! The staff is nice and there’s plenty of space outside to seat and enjoy your coffee. Have to return again soon and try their famous sausage rolls!

    A lovely little spot with benches where you can enjoy your cuppa. Unfortunately it was a rainy morning when I went and didn’t get to stay. I ordered for turmeric latte but was not available, would definitely go back for it when it will be available! However their flat white was great! My friend ordered Belgian hot chocolate and was inlove with it! Would love to see the baristas bring out some smiles in their faces though! I love the morning chats with the baristas and their enthusiasm with coffee. Nevertheless, coffee was lovely. I went to the one in Thomas Street, lovely spot with a lovely view of St. Patrick’s tower. Fast forward to a week later, I went back on a sunny morning and had their Hazelnut Oat Latte ☕️ It was delicious, perfect for sweet tooth! It was a nice blend! Definitely would go back here. They use cloudpicker coffee beans which is also a plus! 🤩

    Amazing coffee, sandwiches and treats. Always worth a stop when on Thomas Street. It's takeaway with a load of seating out the back in an old part of Dublin with loads of history from the Whiskey distillery. There's an old mill and a pear tree more than 100 years old. Beautiful in flower but the fruit is more suited to jams than eating.

    Really nice place to have a coffee or a hot chocolate. You can enjoy the sun at the benches. Food options are available as well, you should try the sausage rolls and the brownies.

    Simple container space with a little hidden cute outdoor space at the back. Gorgeous coffee, made well and variety of home made, high quality sausage rolls. The black pudding and pear flavour was the best.

    Staff is so friendly, he even counted my change for me (I'm a yank). They even have a Vegan roll among other goodies! The Guiness steak pie was delicious😋

    Really nice place to grab a coffee. Especially when the weather is nice, you can sit outside while you enjoy their delicious coffee. I highly recommend paying this place a visit!

  • 5/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    I only came across this place by finding it mentioned in a review on a nearby business. What a gem! The service here is great as well as the food and drink that they serve. It was so good we all came back later on the same day. They have a large seating area out the back which I imagine is lovely to sit in whenever it doesn’t rain in Dublin.

  • 5/5 Justin D. 1 year ago on Google
    The best coffee, with amazing, friendly staff and plenty of outdoor seating, with open skies and fascinating architecture all around. Well worth a visit before heading to the Guinness Storehouse or as part of your busy day

  • 5/5 Kate R. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing coffee! I’m from Melbourne and it tastes like home - so happy to have found this gem in Ireland! Beautiful, friendly staff. Awesome vibes. Can’t wait to return! xx

    We had a coffee and a piece of carrot cake there. Nice staff and nice place. For me, the espresso was too strong and a kind of too bitter (I know espressos are bitter, but this one was too much bitter).

  • 5/5 Derek M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great cuppa coffee near Guinness Storehouse. Fresh beans, lovely brew.

  • 5/5 Raíssa K. 1 year ago on Google
    Best iced caramel latte ever! I could actually taste the caramel, it was delicious sweet and bitter.

  • 5/5 Darren G. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped off for a quick cup of tea. Quirky place and worth a visit. Definitely a place that needs the weather as barely any indoor room. Soft drinks very expensive but it was an enjoyable stay.

    Praline chocolate is not a hot chocolate but hey... Sooooi good! Nice brownie and lovely sign outside

  • 5/5 Philippe L. 1 year ago on Google

    Fabulous coffee. Friendly stuff. Large sun-facing outdoor seating area. Love to come here in the summer during my breaks.

  • 5/5 Tanusree M. 2 years ago on Google
    I have coffee or hot chocolate everyday here. The staff is friendly and helpful and always make an effort to remember you favourite orders and make you feel welcome. The ambiance is beautiful.

  • 5/5 Kateřina M. 3 years ago on Google
    Picturesque spot, perfect for hot sunny days when you can just enjoy the warmth with a cup of coffee in your hand (the day of my visit was supposed to be such warm day, but I got to enjoy Dublin weather at its best instead haha)

  • 4/5 Tamara E. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cute spot to take a quick. Reak while during tourist things!

  • 5/5 Benjamin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Reasonable prices and good tasting coffee. Large outdoor area where you can sit in the sun (when it’s shining…🙄) 👍🏼

  • 5/5 Veronika Leigh G. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m obsessed with this wee coffee container. Every single person who works here is like a coffee ninja! So fast, so delicious. And even more importantly, they are all so FRIENDLY! Every person I’ve encountered working at this fantastic cafe is the Cat’s Meow. All good, all the way!

👍👍 After looking everywhere for lactose free milk, finally found it here in the food hall. Beautiful design, sort of art nouveau, with iron casted architecture, diverse shops and cosy interiors. Really recommend also for tourists who need to shop forgotten items.
