I found this place while in Dublin on a shopping trip before christmas 2022. At first, I said this place is my type of place to sit and have a coffee, it had real character, nice building, lovely design inside very cosy little place to hang out right beside the quays on the Liffey. I went in and there was a sign saying card payment only, I immediately said that is a bummer as I only have cash. We had a little chat about how I felt about this and the guy took my order which was very nice of him, I ordered a lovely slice of peanut and toffee cake and a coffee and off to take my seat down the back in a nice cosy space, looking out at passers by, the coffee and cake was brought to my table, and the cake was absolutely delicious and I sat there for awhile, I did mention to the server that the cake was lovely, I asked was it homemade, he said nope it was frozen. Either way, I snapped a few pictures of the interior and was happy on my way. Great location, great cake even if not homemade, and I think, I paid approx €6.50 for coffee and cake in all.

I felt not good feeling there because they didn't respect me. On first, you can't use a labtop there. I had a ipad when I visited. So I asked them whether I could use the ipad to double check for respecting their rule. She put on a sour face and said "yes". After that they started talking about me. They wondered why I asked them availability of ipad. I can understand them for sure but I was in front of them and I could hear their conversation, totally. Plus I could stay there until 17.00 on Sunday although I checked closing time at google map. The time was 20.00 for your information. I went there to read a book but I'm writing review not good unfortunately. Dublin has a lot of beautiful cafes. It's up to you

Walked a good ways to try out this café and work for a bit this afternoon... To find out they don't allow laptops?? I was really disappointed. Giant generic sign on their door to welcome you in with "no laptops allowed." I understand their store is small, and they probably want to make sure they're generating income, but there's other ways... One purchase per hour, 2 hour limit, etc. Or if it's a branding decision, the sign should reflect that. Otherwise it just seems you don't like people who work or students.

First time stepping into this gem of a cafe the other week. I was greeted with a smile and it felt like I was walking in the front door of my own home. The two woman behind the register where lovely saidbh and I can't remember the other girls name ( I think she was Brazilian?) But they where brilliant. The flat white and cinomon roll where phenomenal. Will definitely be back here again!

On a wet afternoon in Dublin , we stopped by for a rest and a cup of tea. This place may look a bit like a student speakeasy, but the fare was first class. Cool tunes to vibe to, fresh, specialised options for teas and coffee and delicious pastry on offer. We stayed over an hour. The staff were as warm and friendly as the cosy atmosphere. We will be back.

Great little cafe just over Capel street, Southside, on the corner. Plate glass windows give you a clear view of Capel Street bridge and the Liffey river. It's eclectic interior decoration, laid back friendly atmosphere made my stop for a latte very enjoyable. Staff were very professional, in these Covid times they took tracing details. They were warm and smiling and everyone entering were made feel relaxed and welcome. My first time there, but I will certainly be back!

0/5 Stars My hopes for a satisfying coffee experience were shattered at this small shop. From the neglected wet coffee puck to the dirty filter and uneven stamping, it was clear quality was lacking. The leftover milk and bitter taste only added to the disappointment. A regrettable and exhausting experience.

Great atmosphere, fun music in the background and super comfortable vibe. Coming from the United States, it’s cafes like this in Dublin that I look for when I need a place to chill out and relax. The staff knows what they are doing and the drinks are fabulous. Not looking for coffee? Try the beer, wine or water. 100% will come back. Highly recommend the dirty chai and buying a bag of loose leaf tea to take home.

Great character, savage people-watching however it doesn't have the linger factor. It really exudes an energy of "one drink and we'll head" if you're talking about alcohol. Maybe it's nice for coffee. I like their controversial "no laptops welcome" policy. This place is very small.

I randomly found this place while waiting for a friend. I think the place is charming, you have a nice view of people passing by the street, the road, and the river when you sit on the high chairs… they also have books you can freely read… I think they might have music gigs here? But at the time I was there, there wasn’t. Staffs are friendly, price is okay so I’ve got nothing to complain

When I enter They didn't even tell me good morning, or if the order was on the table or to pay before... I sat for a few minutes and they never came. I had to go to the registers and say I wanted a coffee and brownie... and the brownie was very hard and cold! Terrible service

Cozy Coffee Shop

An ok experience. The layout is a little awkward. Maybe it's a better experience other days. Really not an in-out coffee place. Great location and a nice spot to watch the world go by, but maybe just not for me. Try it once and decide for yourself.

Coffee was good and cake was fine, but staff weren’t very friendly, and music experience was surprisingly poor for somewhere called The Music Cafe (all I could hear was a low thudding bass)

A lovely place to take a cofee or similar...Here the Music is a friend not a nightmare..No disturbing people around you, to be in silence and enjoying the Liffey River sees. If you visit Dublin..take a rest here..

Nice little place to stop for coffee. Does get busy at times but staff are friendly. Options for savoury bites or cakes. Pretty pricey but I think that's quite normal in Dublin from what I heard. Soya milk option!

Charming little cafe, old school jazz cafe vibes. We got poached eggs on toast, a ham and cheese toastie they were okay, very affordable. We drank an iced latte and chai latte which I enjoyed the chai latte. Might return for the quaint jazzy, sunny afternoon by the river atmosphere

One of the best independent cafes in Dublin with an amazing selection of loose teas. Good spot in the window for people watching. No laptops allowed.

I found the music cafe in dublin was quirky. I thought it was great when you need a place open for a evening hot drink in the city centre. Thank you.

What a gem!!!! Cute little cafe with great tea selection, coffee wine and light food… really cozy and they have a pretty amazing setup with a band playing in the loads. When I was there, the band was just saying it! The views are not too shabby either… all in all a great find

I always order Flat white for myself and I especially liked this one, so I would strongly recommend it! The place has nice vibes, even though it's quite small, the staff was super friendly and I really liked the music (duh) and the view of the river and a busy street

Small quirky. Fits into this amazing old building on the ground floor. Huge old glass windows looking out over the Liffey and Parliament St Bridge. Coffees great too. Very varied menu. Free music every Friday evening with a glass of wine? What more could you need?

Very nice place for coffee and breakfast just along the Liffey River. There's also often live music with local musicians (not trad though), and the cafe is a great spot for a glass of dry red wine or a tea after work or after going to the movies or dinner!

Beautiful coffee with greasy tasting espresso. Had a wonderful Americano and, with a little cream, a delicious latte-esque drink. Paninis were also superb! Lovely food, cool atmosphere and great music. Loved it!I

Loved it!!! Had some good Chai Latte in a great atmosphere & was vibing to a superb selection of music. Staff was super friendly and positive . I'll be back Edit: Breakfast is amazing too.

Excellent Cafe. Good music. It takes them a while to prepare the order but it's worth it. I went 2 days in a row because of how good everything was. 10/10 totally recommended.

Excellent coffee plus sweet service is a great combination in this lgbtq friendly café place. It's also worth mentioning a good selection of interesting books.

It is a very unique place where you can sit and enjoy a good coffee or a excellent Galician beer!
