The Music Café Dublin

A small, lovely coffeeshop that stays open later than most others. Sitting right next to Grattan Bridge, it's the perfect place for people watching while enjoying a good coffee and a nice pastry or sandwich. Seating is rather limited, so it can get rather busy at times. Important to note that there's a no-laptop policy, which does help the café sustain a nice and chatty atmosphere. Bring a book or friends or both and take some time to relax!

A lovely, calm spot with a great vibe. The jazzy background music adds a nice touch, making it perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The coffee is excellent, and the cakes are delicious. Ideal for enjoying some quality time alone or with friends!

Love this little gem on the corner of Parliament Street. Lovely staff and excellent coffees. Oh and I definitely recommend trying the Bacon Bap or Cinnamon Bun for breakfast.

I was here in 2018 and really liked it. I spend quite a lot of time in my 1 week stay here cause the weather wasn't too good. It's cozy, the tea is very yummy and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. You also can watch the traffic and People outside quite well which was quite entertaining.

It's my favourite spot for a late coffee, comfy, cosy, and good service.

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.

If you look for a classical place, this place is proper. Their menus are enough. They serve your orders quick. View is good to watch the city center ambiance while you drink your smoothie ;)

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 😂
