Ignore all of the bad reviews by people who are far too up themselves and picky as bejasus. Best coffee in Dublin and best pastries, go here!

Decent coffee and food, if a bit overrated. Matcha is a good quality though for my matcha lovers but it only comes in the flat white size.

Proper Order Coffee Co, is an award winning café right off the Luas tracks in Smithfield. Know as the first café in Ireland to sell freeze-distilled milk (a method produced in the world barista championships) 🥛
Their coffee is roasted in collaboration with Dak, a Dutch roastery. And their incredible pastries are made by their sister bakery 🥐
We grabbed their freeze-distilled flat white for €10 and it was unlike any other flat white we’ve had. Definitely worth trying at least once.
Their cappuccinos were excellent and we loved every one of the variety of pastries we tried. Already looking forward to coming again 😌
This is the perfect spot for the busy bodies who love really good coffee (experimental or otherwise) and freshly-made, indulgent pastries. ☕️

The coffee was really good, but the cardamom bun… not at all. Will have to try another pastry, but not convinced with this experience

Serves easily one of the best matchas I’ve tried in Dublin: smooth, vibrant, and incredibly well-prepared. The cardamom buns were decent and made for a nice pairing with the drink.
The main tradeoff is the atmosphere and seating setup. It gets very crowded, and the layout feels distinctly designed for quick, short stays or grab-and-go visits rather than relaxing. There are far more places to eat or drink while standing than there are proper seats, and the chairs available aren't particularly comfortable for sitting down long. Overall, it is definitely worth visiting for top-quality drinks, provided you don't mind standing or taking your order on the run!
Key Facts About Proper Order Coffee Co.
* Interesting Old Fact: Proper Order was founded in early 2016 in Smithfield by Irish Barista and Brewers Cup champion baristas Dave Regan and Niall Wynn. It originally operated out of a tiny, converted former solicitor's office on Smithfield Plaza, gaining its initial cult reputation as a small walk-up hatch space serving world-class specialty coffees.
* Interesting New Fact: In August 2024, Proper Order expanded and relocated 150 meters into a newly built unit inside the Distillers Building on Smithfield Plaza. The new layout was intentionally configured by co-owner Niall Wynn with high-capacity standing counters and a dedicated grab-and-go bar flow: explaining why the space is specifically optimized for quick turnarounds and standing spots rather than long lounge seating.

Good coffee, (the best I’ve tried in Dublin) and great pastries. However, service could improve massively. Staff is not friendly and this hurts the experience.
