This has been my go to coffee shop for years. The coffee is consistently excellent and the toasties are delicious. The baristas are very friendly and helpful. They offer to grind the retail coffee beans to your liking. The overall atmosphere is great ⭐️

CoffeeFriendly staffTasty foodAtmosphere
Lovely little coffee shop right in the heart of Bray.
If you’re a local, you probably already know how great this place is. If you’re visiting Bray, this is definitely a spot you shouldn’t miss.
The coffee is excellent, the service is always top notch, and there’s a great selection of delicious pastries.
Easily the best coffee in town.
The baristas are super friendly, welcoming and always have a great vibe. I personally love the playlist :)
Definitely worth stopping by!
Lovely atmosphere, easy to locate. Enough sitting space, but not a lot. Coffee (latte) was nice, but not the best. Other types of milk cost €0.50 extra. Nice selection of treats, the blondies (see picture) were a good size (almost too big, was happy I shared it with my friend), but slightly undercooked. The flavour was good, but I would have preferred it if there was no salt sprinkled on top.
