Shoe Lane Coffee Reviews:
Good quality of coffee and have lots choices of pastries! Staffs are always friendly and helpful , definitely my favorite place in Dublin to work on my laptop or just chilled, the space provide a cozy atmosphere upstairs. – Blair H
Lovely coffee shop. I was here with my partner on vacation and never go to the big chains when I travel. This us the coffee shop you want the bigs to be. Great service, great coffee, and get you on your way. Rocket fuel in hand. – Ali D
What a fantastic speciality coffee shop in the centre of Dublin. We were in town for a brief visit and wanted a good coffee so decided to try here and we were not disappointed! A couple of excellent flat whites, a delicious cinnamon pastry and a satisfying slice of banana bread. Highly recommend, and we’ll be back the next time we’re in Dublin! – Adam D
Perfect espresso, open earlier and later in comparison to other independent coffee shops in Dublin. Very friendly staff and there is outdoor seating as well as upstairs seating. – Darren M
V60 was a subtle delight, espresso was intense and flavour. Best coffee in the area. – P J
What a wonderful cup of coffee to have on my first morning in Ireland! It was early Sunday morning so very chill vibe and delicious scones as well. – Ella H
