Achievements of Fan:

In 2006 while working for Bön Espresso, in a small news agent, on lower Baggot Street. my coffee was The First Time published in a Metro newspaper.

2007 I entered Irish Barista Championship For The First Time on behalf of Insomnia Coffee Company and made it into the top 5.

In 2008 I represented Insomnia Coffee Company for the second time in Irish Barista Championship and won the second place.

In 2009 I represented Seven Wonders and won the first place in the Irish Latte Art Championship. I also represented Ireland at the World Latte Art Championship.

Ever since 2009, I have been able to train many talented baristas during the course of my work, who have also excelled in their own profession. Many of them have entered barista championships. I also receive good reviews for my coffee from a number of news publishers, websites, and Radio Stations.

Lovely cozy shop right across from St Stephen’s Green. The most friendly and helpful baristas work there. They made some of the tastiest coffee drinks that I’ve had in quite a while. I wish it was right around the corner from my office.

Stopped in this tiny little coffee shop when in the area. I ordered a hot spiced chai (they advertise they also do cold), and when they provided it, it had an orange wedge and some other garnishes in it, which was a nice touch. The chai had a nice blend of spices, and it was quite enjoyable to take nearby to St Stephen’s Green and sit on a bench and drink it on a drizzly day.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for ages! It was pretty average for an Irish coffee shop. Nice scone, plenty of breakfast options, average coffee… But very friendly and accommodating staff!

Really great latte and the service was outstanding! It is very small on the inside, but perfect for getting cozy on a rainy afternoon. The employees take the latte art to a new level, definitely a nice addition.

You walk in and the space is a bit small but kept clean. You’re welcomed by friendly employees & the smell of good food. The prices are moderate and everything is made from fresh ingredients. I will definitely come back here for my future trips.

The coffee, food, and especially the service were exceptional. Great care went into making the coffee and sandwich I had on my first visit during a recent trip to Dublin. I returned for coffee and breakfast for the remaining four days of my trip. It only took a couple days for the staff to recognize me and learn my coffee order. I tried the Irish full breakfast, the 6 item breakfast, and the scrambled egg breakfast. They were all very good, but my favourite was the scrambled eggs.
Beanhive seems to be a neighbourhood favourite. I came to recognize many morning regulars. There was also a file on the counter with the alphabetized loyalty cards of hundreds of customers. I highly recommend Beanhive.

It was a really nice day outside so wanted to pick up some coffee and treat to take to Saint Stephen’s Green and stopped in here. The barista was very friendly and when I asked for his opinion on what to order based on what I was going for (something sweet but not too sweet) he recommended the vanilla latte and was spot on! I also was tempted by the amazing looking baked goods and went with the «Brazil» which was like a chocolate cake with what I think was chocolate cheesecake or mouse on top, then some regular cheesecake with raspberry, drizzled with chocolate. Amazing if you’re a chocolate lover like me!

First flat white Because they don’t have these in NYC. I must say I will continue to get it during my 2 week stay in Dublin.
Small lil shop but a quick to go coffee is fine.

I only had a chance to visit once, but their full Irish breakfast (yes, they do more than muffins & sandwiches here) was worth the € 9, and my latté was above average. The place is mostly for to-​go orders; there’s room for maybe 12 people inside before things would start to get weird.
I’m giving them 5 stars due to the fact that if I visit Dublin again, I’ll go try one of the sandwiches, because a number of them seemed like they’d be delicious, and I don’t have the heart to dock a star just because I didn’t have time to make it back for a sandwich deliciousness verification visit.

Lovely shop! The main fellow here is a great latte maker and in general just a kind, energetic fellow. They’ve even won awards for the artwork. Nice selection of scones and pastries and reasonable prices! There aren’t many seats, but most folks take their orders to go. They definitely have some regulars. It was s great place to start our day.

How cute is this place?!? It’s teeny tiny but sooo cosy with a huge amount of quirky deco stuff and sweet things to tempt you.
To my delight they offer almond milk (no surcharge!) so I had one of their cappucchinos the other day and it was really really great!

This is a tiny little café right next door to the Celtic whiskey shop. they serve breakfast and lunch, soups sandwiches, scones, muffins, and full breakfast. Their coffee and teas are delicious. Everything is made to order and extremely fresh. The owners are so nice and hard-​working, the staff is very accommodating
The only problem is when the weather is bad there are only about five little tables inside. When the weather is nice they also offer outdoor seating. So many orders are Takeaway because of the seating limitations. if you don’t see a particular sandwich just ask and they will make it up for you. Soups are made fresh daily. I really like the food and the staff.

Great little place! Ive had it bookmarked for at least 2 months! But eventually got to drop in and im kicking myself for leaving it so long
Really cool space, cosy and decorated loads of little trinkets and mugs wearing jumpers and all that fun stuff, I love it. Quite small only 3 tables or so but I wouldn’t imagine they get a lot of sit ins anyway more people grabbing a cup on the go doing shopping or on the way to work.
The coffee is good, and very pretty, staff were lovely as well. There is an Asian gentleman there that dose the coffee if you can get him to make it he does really cool latte art in the cups!

Man nehme eine charmante Scone-​Bäckerin und einen witzig-​frechen Portugiesen an der Kaffeemaschine… stellt diese in einen charmanten Frühstücksladen im Herzen Dublins und lässt mich in den frühen Morgenstunden hineinlaufen. Eine Feuerwerk an guter Laune, denn erstens liebe ich Scones und würde alleine dafür nach Dublin ziehen und zweitens hab ich am Morgen meist gute Laune und liebe es auf Gleichgesinnte zu treffen. Morgenmuffel ist sowas von 2012. ;D
In dieser kleinen Bäckerei stimmt die Kombi, der Kürbis-​Scone war ohne Übertreibung einer der besten Scones, die ich je gegessen habe, dazu ein leckerer Soja-​Latte und dann das ganze für ein Special Offer für schlappe 3,80 Euro. WTF!!! Das schreit nach einem Dauer-​Check-​in für mich… insbesondere weil ich es liebe, wenn Menschen Spaß an ihrem Job haben und diesen auch forsch nach draußen hängen lassen.
Fünf Sterne für dieses Eins A Breakie-​Erlebnis!

On Average, a nice café that serves home made food. I went there before half an hour for the place to close. I ordered toasted cheese with pesto, but i got a non heated sandwich and the cheese wasn’t melted too (i did not like it but I was hungry and I thought maybe the lady misunderstood me, she was so nice and friendly so I did not ask her to heat it or any thing as the place is about to close soon). They seem to have nice choices of home made desserts and scones. I bought my friend a browny and he said it was unbelievably tasty.

Scones deluxe, Flat White auch mit Sojamilch und jede Menge Humor to go.
Das Beanhive lockte uns mit seinem Angebot an Scones durch die Schaufensterscheibe. In sicher 10 verschiedenen Varianten von Blaubeer über Mandel bis glutenfrei. Drinnen erwarteten uns noch weitere, dazu Brownies und Sandwiches und zwei Herren hinter der Theke, die uns mit ihrem trockenen Humor zum Lachen brachten.
Wir bestellten drei verschiedene Kaffees to go — alle mit Sojamilch, was hier weder hipster noch snobby rüberkommt, sondern angenehmerweise wie jeder andere Bestellwunsch. Leider waren als wir zum Frühstück wiederkamen alle drei glutenfreien Varianten gerade aus und der Flat White gut aber nicht herausragend.
We’ll see, ob ich da nochmal vorbeikomme und wie die Teilchen dann schmecken :-)

1er jour à Dublin, un après midi, il pleut… Quoi de mieux qu’un bonne boisson chaude et un gâteau pour se réchauffer, on avait repéré l’adresse sur Unilocal avant de venir, alors c’est partis :)
Un serveur vraiment sympathique a coup de «what do you wan’t my friend», j’adore, ici tu pourrais discuter avec n’importe qui, c’est vraiment cool.
On choisit donc, pour ma part un brownies chocolat et beurre de cacahuète avec des vrai cacahuètes dedans accompagné d’un cappuccino, pour mademoiselle un chocolat chaud avec un carrot cake.
On s’installe à l’intérieur (bah oui il pleut !), et la commence le ballet du café, il prend les grains, les moud le café en direct, lance la pression, fait péter les pistons et me sort un cappuccino gigantesque avec son gâteaux tout aussi gros :), Idem pour le chocolat et le carrot cake.
Le temps de sucrer le cappuccino et c’ets parti pour la dégustation, j’ai été transporté par ce brownies, l’ajout des cacahuètes et du beurre de cacahuètes, a rendu le brownies fondant et croquant comme il faut, un vrai délice, on pourrait vulgairement dire que çà ressemblait a un snickers, mais ça serait dommage de l’abaisser à çà tellement c’était bon… et copieux, j’ai eu du mal à le finir. Le cappuccino était extra, on sentait bien le café frais et la pointe de lait, un régal.
Pour mademoiselle, elle à été subjugué par son gâteau (mais entre vous et moi, qu’elle idée de faire un gâteau a base de carotte, on est pas des lapins tout de même :))
Voila je recommande cette adresse pour son super café, l’amabilité du jeune serveur et la qualité des patisseries.
ps: Suite à quelques menaces du CADCL (comité anti-​discrimination contre les lapins), je tiens a préciser que les lapins né mangent pas que des carottes, qu’il s’agit d’une idée reçus cherchant à les diminuer face à nous, car nous avons peur de leurs supériorité… Hein ?? tenez pas compte de çà, je déraille :)

Called in here today for a meeting, and was immediately won over.
On first impressions, it’s tiny in there. Like really tiny. But they’ve got comfy seats and also a nice little gathering of seats outside too that’d be lovely on a dry day.
They have baskets upon baskets of freshly baked scones (have a look at the pictures — they are just too good), delish cakes, and lovely tea. I can’t comment on the coffee, but looks like they have lots of different blends and they seem to know their stuff.
The guys themselves are the icing on the cake — super friendly, good craic, and they really give the place a proper good vibe.
(Oh also, they sell the most gorgeous little knitted /​crocheted tea cosies that go on mugs and takeaway cups! Soooo cute and would be deadly for a Christmas or birthday present)

Cozy little shop that serves some nice coffee. They have a cute bee-​I mean «bean» hive theme going on :)
Nice and friendly staff, and you can keep your loyalty card at the shop (no need to fill up your wallet even more) — limited seating but it’s a lovely shop interior.
