Unlimited coffees, snacks, wifi and access to a unique group of creative folk who could just be the contact you need to reach success? This might sound like some sort of naive millennial cafe dream, but that’s actually exactly what you’ll find at the very slick Anticafé. What started off as one cafe in 2013 has grown to […]

The hip coffee culture has taken Dublin city by storm in the past few years, with new local cafes popping up left, right and centre as well as bigger coffee chains staking their claim on our cappuccinos. One of the nicest things about independent coffee shops, however, is that they’re something a bit different to your average Starbucks […]

We’ve all been there: It’s a Friday evening, you’re absolutely starving and all you want to eat is a big juicy burger. The only problemo? Your uber healthy roomie is dying for a bitta sushi, and you’ve got to agree there’s no point ordering two takeaways from two different places. Well fellow food fanatics, a solution […]

Thinking of making a move to a different Dublin neighbourhood? If so, D8 might be just the place for you. Not only is it geographically central, being within short walking distance of both Grafton Street and Smithfield, but also spiritually — it’s the very heart of old Dublin, with a real sense of community still preserved […]

Our hunt for new places to get our brunch fix is a never-ending crusade filled with poached eggs, more mimosas then we should probably be drinking and plate after plate after plate of bacon. Crispy, plz. Our latest love is a very pretty conservatory cafe in Beggars Bush, D4, that kinda reminds me of my […]

There’s just something about France that oozes sophistication and class, and coffee culture has been at the heart of the country’s social life for centuries. French cafés are the ideal rendezvous spot – the neighbourhood hub, the place to relax and refuel with a strong cup of petit noir (an espresso) and a freshly baked, warm and […]

It’s that time of week again where last weekend’s hangover has finally left us be – and we start thinking about what we’re (and our hearts, heads and feelings) are going to get stuck into this weekend.  Thus continuing the Circle of Life.  This weekend has loads going on, with activities suited to the faint-hearted […]

The growing coffee culture in Dublin has been monumental in recent years. Long gone are the days of a simple cafe au lait, and in its place are previously unfathomable notions such as Blue Lattés or Matcha powder infused bevvies. Independent coffee shops are thriving, breathing life into the city once more. However, competition is high for a brewer […]

When this site started a few years ago, it was to discover the new food, bars and events in the city.  The stuff right under my nose that I was constantly missing but was staring me right in the face.  Fast forward five years and we now have a small (but mighty) team of us […]

I was leggin’ it through Temple Bar to Aston Quay to catch a bus on Friday evening, and while I probably passed about five Starbucks’ between the office and the quays, it was Cocobrew that caught my eye.  It looked warm, inviting and coffee-filled – basically, my idea of heaven.  So I popped in thinking I’d grab an Americano […]
