House of Read in Dublin

My wife and I simply happened upon this storied cafe and shop while looking for a coffee during a walk. What a fortunate find! First, the coffees - my flat white and her mocha were the best we had during a long eight-day visit filled with very good coffee - and the little Ferro Roche cheesecake we had was...well, we could have eaten a dozen because we're Americans with no sense of portion size. The staff were welcoming and professional, and the fascinating history of the shop was an additional treat. Highly recommend!

A hidden gem in Dublin. This authentic café, which offers delicious tea and coffee as well as delightful pastries, is a truly special place with an interesting history and a remarkable atmosphere.

Stumbled onto this place without knowing anything about its history for sweets and coffee/tea. Love the vibe and the decor. Super friendly staff with smiling faces. Highly recommend it for a quick snack and coffee/tea.

Great café: delicious coffee and scones. The interior is very quaint, and there are a few small tables outside when the weather is nice.

Best hot chocolate I've ever had... Truly amazing, and the setting is super cute. Kudos to the team!

The staff were helpful and efficient. The history of the building is phenomenol!

Such a cozy place with a unique atmosphere. Coffee tastes good! And not that bad scones either 😉 Definitely worth visiting!

An absolutely fantastic experience at House of Read! Hands down the best mocha I’ve had in Ireland. The cake was delicious, and the atmosphere is wonderfully cozy and welcoming. To make it even better, Taiga provided incredible service so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend🥳

The coffees were excellent, and the young women who served me were delightful. I will definitely be coming back to this café. I loved it.

Highly recommended spot in Dublin! It’s like stepping back in time. The place is steeped in history, and the staff shared some of those stories with us. Everything served looked impressive and was packed with flavor. I also really loved the tableware (I even ended up buying a milk jug as a souvenir) 🥰 lovely place
