Magic Bubble - Citywest Shopping Centre in Dublin

16/07/2026: 15 years ago, Starbucks in the U.S. lost this level of quality. I don't know what happened - maybe less beans are used per cup than before, maybe the coffee is made with scolding hot water, burning it. Whatever it is, this location brought me back to the good times. If anyone in management is reading this, keep doing what you're doing. I have already pinned this location in my Google maps so that I remember to revisit when I'm in the city. We remember which Starbucks locations don't cut corners, and which do. Outstanding.

24/06/2026: I was surprised when I came in to see the interior of the place! The little bridge with the view downstairs is really cool. Service was fine but I feel like the girl didn’t want to deal with me as a tourist. Anyways, had the best scone of my life.
