A massive, historic café on Grafton Street that’s been around since the 20s and feels like a mix between a grand European ballroom and a cozy library. It’s famous for its stunning stained-glass windows, open fireplaces, and the smell of coffee being roasted right on-site. It carries a heavy literary legacy, having served as a favorite haunt for icons like James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. The specialty here is all about the craft: they are master coffee roasters and tea blenders, but you can't leave without trying their famous sticky buns or the iconic Mary Cake.
