Insomnia Coffee Company - South Leinster St in Dublin

Killed some time here waiting for the National Gallery to open just around the corner. Good coffee, decent bakes, and a location that makes it an easy add-on before or after Kildare Street or the Gallery. Got a window table looking out over South Leinster Street and it was the best seat in the house, sun comes in and a nice bit of people watching while the coffee kicked in. Staff were genuinely warm too.. actually chatty and happy to have you there. Nothing revolutionary on the menu, fresh coffee, sandwiches and cakes, but the welcome lift it above the usual chain experience. Handy spot if you're museum hopping around this part of Dublin and want a proper sit rather than a rushed takeaway.

The place is beautiful and the staff is super friendly! In my opinion, it's the best coffee in Dublin. As an Italian, I'd also say it's the best coffee I've ever had here... everything was delicious ❤️❤️❤️

Cozy place, nice drinks and a special shoutout to Catríona who served us and others for being extremely accommodating and caring!

I had a coffee, which, for a Latin American or Latin European, was horrible like all the coffees around here.

Great to spend my mornings before work. Great coffee ☕

The food and drinks are good, but what makes this place is the staff! The lady who took our order was SO lovely! She gave us great recommendations (TRY THE LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE), and overall just went the extra mile – THANK YOU! Notably, both members of the staff were constantly checking that the display was well stocked and looked nice, and went downstairs to check the restroom for cleanliness (it was spot clean). @Insomnia: You have amazing employees!

Lovely staff, the lady who served us late Monday afternoon was so kind and thoughtful. She asked us where we were from, made polite conversation, and even told us we had a lovely family. Later she came and checked on us and brought warm water for our youngest son’s bottle. Great view if you can get the seats by the window (we did!). Thanks for making these tourists feel cozy and at home!
