Westland Cafe in Dublin

Popped in for a quick coffee this morning, which was lovely and strong, none of that weak stuff you get elsewhere. The staff were sound out, quick to serve but still had a smile. Grand spot for a no-fuss caffeine fix.

The place is pleasant, though in the typical style of new coffee shops. What really stands out online is the hot chocolate: made with real chocolate, yet disappointingly thin in texture. A shame, since I went specifically to try it because real hot chocolate is rare to find in Dublin.

I wanted a matcha latte, and have always loved the coffee at Bear Market. I ordered a matcha and took a sip - it was sweetened, unfortunately. Bear Market possibly only sources pre-sweetened matcha (not my taste), so I would recommend either offering to customers to sweeten it or not when they order it, or changing matcha supplier (if you want more people to order matcha).

Best coffee I had for a while!! Lovely guidance for selecting a coffee and the ability to taste different ones before buying 🫶🏽 Modern interior, nice staff, great coffee. 5/5
