It’s only been open since 2013, but Kaph has quickly established itself as one of Dublin’s go-to coffee spots. With its hip interiors and excellent coffee, it’s easy to see why.

They also make a mean matcha latte, if that’s your kind of thing.

2. Coffee Angel

This tiny coffee bar is the perfect place to nip into if you’re craving a coffee fix as you go for a stroll through Ranelagh. Not only does it do superb coffees, but it’s also highly reasonable with all coffees under €3.

As if all that weren’t enough, they do free hot drinks for over 65s.
