Busyfeet & Coco Cafe

You'll find this spot tucked into William Street South, just off the beaten track from the main shopping drags but close enough to Grafton Street that it gets a steady stream of locals who've discovered its charms. The extended hours make it a rare find in Dublin - where else can you get a decent flat white at 10pm on a Thursday? The coffee is consistently good, and they've got that neighbourhood café vibe down pat without being overly precious about it. Whether you're ducking in for a quick espresso or settling in with your laptop for a few hours, the staff are sound and the atmosphere hits that sweet spot between buzzy and relaxed. The fact that they stay open until 11pm on weekends makes it a handy spot for those odd-hour caffeine fixes when everywhere else has shuttered.
