The Secret Garden @ The Alex Hotel in Dublin

17/07/2026: This specific BEAR MRKT location is the perfect option for your coffee stop for so many reasons. Excellent equipment, high quality roasts and selection, and expertly constructed drinks all make BEAR my choice in Dublin; however, it is the baristas and staff that truly make this a genuinely wonderful stop that will make your day. Paula was the most kind and sincere person I have met in the entire city, and her unbelievably infectious personality has been the highlight of my stay in Dublin. I am yet to have a better coffee, of many, and I’m certain I will not encounter a match of Paula’s kindness.

17/07/2026: As soon as I stepped into the bear market, I felt immediately at home. The owner greeted me upon my arrival and took time to detail each, and every pastry item they had in their case. He recognized me as someone visiting from out of the country and engaged me in a conversation about where I was from and what I was doing in Ireland. The team there was incredibly gracious, the pastries were phenomenal and the coffee was excellent. This is a really cool little spot to stop in at on the way into the office or for a quick bite. The owner pointed out to me that they are getting ready to open up some seating in the upper area and that will allow for more people to actually dine in. Overall wonderful experience I would recommend to anyone local or visiting.
