Brentwood Coffee - Tallaght in Dublin

28/08/2026: Brindle has been a staple in my life since I moved to Portobello. The staff are the best part; they take every opportunity to get to know you, whether you're in for a delightful morning coffee or a glass of wine later on. The sandwiches are delicious, and there's a great range of non-alcoholic options (the kombucha cans are a lifesaver when it's too late for coffee and too early for wine). It's also a great spot to meet friends. The front is deceiving — there's a lovely back space that's perfect for settling in over coffee or wine. One thing worth stating plainly: on the surface, the coffee might look a bit pricey, but Brindle does not charge extra for non-dairy milk. Most places tack on 30–50c for a non-dairy alternative, and that adds up. Once you factor it in, the pricing is completely fair. The actual best part, though? Obviously the dog clients.

17/08/2026: We are lucky enough to have Brindle on our doorstep, but it is still my first choice for coffee anywhere in the city and a lovely spot for an evening glass of wine. Special shout outs to Rachel, Chay and all the staff who are so friendly and kind as well as knowledgeable about coffee and wine, and extremely welcoming to our whirlwind puppy who drags us in when she can for treats. 11/10 from us all!
