An American student's guide to the best daytime hangouts in Dublin



The mochas at Fixx are the best I've had anywhere, and yes, they really look like this. Dawson St. - flickr.com Bewley's is both a historic café- James Joyce and Samuel Beckett were patrons- and a coffee and tea company. Grafton St. - flickr.com Of the many coffee chains in Dublin, Café Sol is the best, with prices comparable to the others, but better espresso and better pastries. Good luck walking a few blocks without finding one. - ratemyarea.com Cornucopia, on Wicklow St., has food so good and so filling you'll scarcely notice it's vegetarian. - morethansalad.com This menu from the Cake Cafe reflects the establishment's savvy yet homey design sense and its products: Baile átha (Dublin) caca (cake) milis (sweet) - Cake Cafe At the Twisted Pepper, coffee and sandwiches are served on small wooden boards. The café becomes a bar, club, and music venue starting at 4pm; until then, it's homey enough, and the coffee and food are both delicious. 54 Middle Abbey St. - coolhunting.com Fallon and Byrne is the Dublin equivalent of Dean and Deluca - a mouthwatering array of quality foods that really add up at the cashier checkout. Exchequer St. - Bryan Meade/Fallon and Byrne The Farmer's Market is the best place to get quality, organic food. Hands-down. Prices are comparable to those at grocery stores, but the veggies you'll find here are much, much fresher. Also keep an eye out for local dairy and cider. Cow's Lane - London Eats Listons, on Camden St., is a good source for quality meats, cheeses and produce on the southside, and stocks some foods that are difficult to find elsewhere. - Daily Spud You can find a Tesco pretty much anywhere, and it'll often have the lowest prices for processed foods. This one is on Parnell St. - ratemyarea.com Find stocks well-curated, and sometimes affordable, antique and vintage items. Cow's Lane. - Find Industry- which stocks housewares and such- has a fantastic design sense. Essex St. West - Industry Cow's Lane Designer Studio sells works by local artisans. - IrishPressReleases.ie
