COFFEE D
ublin has come a long way since the first recorded coffee shop – Cock Coffee House – opened on Cook Street in 1660. And though Dublin has had coffee for 300odd years, it's really only in the past few that we've fostered a bean-scene worthy of international buzz. Why? Because conditions are perfect here. Our tap water quality is the envy of New York, London and Paris and Irish milk is seen internationally as a premium product. That, coupled with our new found fad of recreational tasting, makes it fair to say that, yes, it's business time. For those of you who cannot survive without the daily grind, let us put forward the argument that Dublin has the opportunity to be one of the world's best coffee cities. Our baristas are now competing well on an international basis and with the World Championships coming here in 2016 we've got the time, the enthusiasm and the focus on quality to make Dublin famous for a different type of black stuff. In the meantime, though, here is your list of the top places to go for a cup of joe.
