Espresso Coffee Shop

You'll find this tucked away on Upper Maudlin Street, where the coffee actually tastes like someone gives a damn about what they're serving. The kind of place where regulars nod at each other over proper flat whites and the baristas know their beans inside out. It's got that lived-in feel that only comes from being genuinely loved by the neighbourhood – not the Instagram version, but the real thing where people actually come to drink coffee, not photograph it. The 4.9 rating isn't an accident; when 68 people agree on something this enthusiastically, you pay attention.
