Did I not tell you about this place after nomeansno?

It's great, we had soup and sambos in there that day. Really nice, staff are decent too. It's a wee bit cramped when busy though.

where is it exactly? la boulangerie has fallen out of favour slightly although i do still enjoy their pains aux raisins in the morning

Out the back of Daintree (posh paper shop).

were you one of the guys taking AGES to buy a cake and holding us up paying our bill?

the carrot cake in there is in dire need of icing and less fruity bits.

 

[CitySickness]

Not me. I was the one out the back picking the icing off the carrot cake.

Its round the corner from the house. The preseco and macaroons deal is good. But you'd have about three of them.

There are so many waitresses there standing around chatting when your trying to pay.

and the manager talks to them like real shit.

I love it there though.

went in here today, tis lovely alright. has it been there long? you'd never know it was there if you werent looking for it. i had the raspberry and cream sponge with me coffee - both were delicious. a bit cramped inside, i didnt really feel i should hang around reading my book for too long like i wanted to. met mike murphy in the barbers just before that.

spelt? is that a special ingredient? hmmmmm. apple cake.

spelt? is that a special ingredient? hmmmmm. apple cake.

im not sure what it is, i heard of it recently though. i think it might be a substitute for wheat or flour or something

 

[Wobbler]

It's a grain of some description. I've heard it said but I wasn't sure how it's spelt.

where is a decent cafe for hanging around reading your book and where I wont be under pressure to vacate the seat? Any Starbucks I've been to has been good in this way but I don't want to be spotted there.

starbucks dont let you hang out unless your banging away on an apple computer of some description.
most coffee shops are grand for letting you chill out,i often sit in insomnia for extended periods (the coffee is shite though)

this is a very good question and I, too, would like to know the answer. Generally Dublin is crap for this. I once heard of some coffee shop by (or in) a hostel at the Kevin St end of Camden St (I can't think of the name of it) and apparently that was a good place with good coffee.

Starbucks by the canal is the only place I've found and you won't be spotted there because its pretty quiet, and isn't overly windowy.

the coffee shop in waterstones is good too but the chairs aren't comfortable and you can't very well bring in your own book and start reading it.

Thats one thing America has on us. Their coffee shop culture is so relaxed. Any time I'm over there I'd spend 1-2 hours sitting in one (usually starbucks - it doesn't have the same stigma attached to it over there as it does here) and read.

we need coffee shops where you can buy a single cup of coffee, yet remain in the shop for hours.

Well hopefully with the bottom falling out of rents that will be possible soon.
